    I would go give thanks.. That is the craziest, most difficult (imho) way to get 3 points I have ever seen.. Borderline suicidal.. once again in my opinion, which we all have.. Kudos on the iron discipline which I wish I had..

    Alternatives to Prop Firms?

    To crystallize the thread.. There are lost of alternatives in the Finance world you can apply for with your degree that are NOT directly trading related. BUT, if it's trading you want to get into ASAP, THERE ARE NEXT TO NO ALTERNATIVES. Trading is difficult to teach, if at all. Those that you...

    What's Worse: Missing the Move Entirely or Giving All Your Profit Back?

    This probably makes many a trader dump their systems more than anything else. The system leaves money on the table here... ignores huge trades there.. will drive a man mad. THE best solution is a system (even discretionary) MUST consider volatility as this decides what is the whole move most...

    ES broke declining TL as that long NQ signal went off.. Shouldn't a trader take such a trade long.. yes or no? Point is instead of thinking.. "I'll short 1202" how about I'll go long now as I don't know how far it could go?

    Short bias is something else.. NQ travels 45 points from 2000 logical support (at least try the long) but I am down for the day... Stared at the 2017 area long signal and couldn't take it, shorted 2037 for a loss.. Speechless.. If one is going to be biased at least be so in the direction of...

    NQ Chart.. Posted this a while back.. In the last year every time NQ 5 day volatility rose over 28-ish a decline was imminent.. Usually a TL was broken also.. Increasingly higher volatility tops indicate next break should be quite large but volatile range should continue for a few days..

    Guys... do most of you take trades AT price levels (NQ 2000 and 2022 today) OR do you wait for the reversals? With the volatility it is slowly seeming to me you may as well take a stop out (NQ 1997 or 2025) rather than wait for the reverse and risk the retest to the price level (which happens...

    Windows 7

    Windows has reached the point where, barring real breakthrough thinking, is a mature product. The only thing saving Microsoft revenues is trojan horse (oem) installations which is largely how many end up with the new OS. CAD, Financial programs in this situation don't have this luxury so the...

    A select few Move the markets

    I suppose it is routine in that until the everybody including bears decide it's a long market (doubtless quite a few over 1972) markets don't drop... They must fall of their own weight, like too many monkeys on a tree..

    A select few Move the markets

    I don't chase at open so I was a spectator until 1977 and the decline to 1966.

    A select few Move the markets

    Strong open on high volume yes??? So Prior resistance becomes support with the "high volume" validating the breakout?? This is one reason I have tired of watching volume.. they use it to tell lies.. a lot. The markets are what they are and I do take responsibility for losses no problem but...

    A select few Move the markets

    This a chart of NQ crystallizes this more than ever. We are being played with on a grand scale.. last few days to the chagrin of most bears here on ET 1954 is a wall.. Today, after a VERY convincing (after last 12 months you better be convinced) 1972 break you would think 1966 should become...

    T/A Trading Journal

    I had been using Turbo trader before I came across TOS (free to TDAmeritrade APEX clients) which is great for charting but commissions not great compared to Global Futures. Have never traded with TOS but it seems quite complex though probably once learned.
