What exactly is this supposed to mean? More jibberish from whom it is to be expected?

With the first I would agree, because we want what we want, not necessarily what God wants. Diametrically opposed? Why because we are selfish?

Sorry for putting in my 2cents, but is seems you are not open to the other possibility either.

That is a large part of what the problem can be with trading and the the world. If its wrong it is wrong if it is right is is right. There are absolutes. Science is full of absolutes, something as simple as gravity. Theories are just that, until proven. Trades are just theories, until proven.

You opened it up to supperstition - is not religion superstitious?

You said it science is your religion, and alot of what is accetped as science (darwin) is pure belief and hope, no scientific proof. You want science, look at the evidence available for a world wide flood. There is more EVIDENCE of that, than that for evolution and all its belidfs lead to.

I hate to ask, maybe I am just REALLY slow. 300-500 TRADES? There are only 405 trading minutes a day! (RTH) I wouldn't think there would be enough time for true TA!! Does anyone really trade like this? You would have to be a machine!! Make 'em pretty, Chris

Ultimately this is the truth. Perhaps looking for the larger wins it is best to hold the full position. But I must say I much prefer the larger win percentage of taking some off and letting the rest run. I believe that this is fully psychological, and I also believe that this, and trade...

I have to disagree with this. Maybe in back testing your idea might be right. Try the back test and move stop to b/e after X points, then check results. In real trading, exiting half and moving stop to b/e, if only half of the trades continue on then you are much more ahead in the long run...

Been using Qcharts off and on for the last 3 yrs. Never had a problem that I could tell when trading with broker over the phone. Been using IB the last 2 months and their quotes have been right with IB for the most part. A one minute spike has resulted in slow charts but then a guy can...

Depends on where you are in line. If there are a few trades there it always seems that they are not mine (or yours). Best to figure that you won't be filled and jump in. Make 'em pretty, Chris

I have one 17 and one 15, I would take two 17 rather than 3 or 4 15. Make 'em pretty, Chris

It is also a problem I have. However if one cannot afford to pay the spread, then one is in the wrong game. I play the bonds, one tick is 31.25, a little more expensive but it can move 5-6 rather quickly. After a couple ticks down I find myself getting "comfortable" with the loss. I...

Would think it a little tough on individual stocks - but indexes, on report days (cpi, ppi, fomc, etc.) can work quite nicely. Bonds and notes are great - bonds make a one minutes spike of 10 - 12 point then start to retrace jump in and out and you just made 5-8 points. ALMOST always works...

Very excellent post. Nice to see some etiquette for these rooms, posted. There are a couple of good ones on paltalk also. Make 'em pretty, Chris

jbyodston-- a little for what its worth... I trade similar to what you do .. I assume the BB are 20, 2 -- I use 20, 1.8 (make little to no difference) I set the MACD to 12,26,5 Rules include only take a long when the MACD is positive and only short when down, unless the histogram is...

It all boils down to the broker. I have unitentionally traded the ND while trying to trade the NQ (future source symbol for ND is NQ, figure that) had less than 2000 in the account and traded 2 contracts. (Margin for that is 38,000) It was an internet platform. I also know with this...
