Okay...hows lunch sound?:D

There are a few computer whizs' on this forum, but if don't get a response, try this website. www.windowsbbs.com

Cool...email me sometime and maybe we can trade some charts and ideas.:cool:

Best traders forum in existence...thanks!:D

This is my basic plan... I trade the ES emini 10 or 15 times a day. Say the market's at 800.00 and I decide to go short. I get a fill at 800.00 and I place a stop (mental) at 801.50. That's 6 ticks of risk or $75.00 I keep my...

Here's a link to Dr. Tharps website. Download the demo version of his money management game. I think it will show you the importance of the occasional 3-1 and 5-1 trade. Hope this helps www.iitm.com

Way to go Mr. Sub...just goes to show, it can be done!:D

Thanks...I had heard TS 2000i was buggy, but apparently not.

Just curious...what software are you guys moving to?

Whereas Merge and others have used peer-to-peer systems to promote little-known artists and new releases, the major labels have sued Napster, Audiogalaxy, Kazaa and three other file-sharing networks, alleging copyright infringement on a grand scale. They also are injecting bogus files onto the...

You're right, sorry. Bad choice of words. I guess what I meant to say was: "Because I have to try to obtain at least a 3 to 1 ratio on every trade to survive." and "When I say 3:1, I mean you try to make at least 3...

When I say 3:1, I mean you make 3 dollars when you're right and lose a dollar when you're wrong. When you say 1:2, you don't mean you make a dollar when you're right and lose 2 dollars when you're wrong, do you?

80% huh...Hmmmm:D Okay, let me restate. If you average 80%, you're a trading god and don't need to listen to peons like me.:D

Good question...this may not be for everybody, but this is how I do it. Lets say I put on a trade(ES mini) and I'm long at 800.00. Lets say my initial stop is 798.00 ( 2 pts) If the market goes to 802.00, I raise my stop to 800.25. (breakeven plus 1 tick...

I usually risk 6 to 7 ticks at most. Why? Because I have to average a 3 to 1 ratio to survive. If you use a 3 or 4 handle stop you have to make 9 to 12 handles. Some people feel a 2 to 1 ratio is all that is needed, but myself and many others feel 3 to 1 is best.

You've got the 2% rule right, but you're overlooking another vital concept to survival. If you want to survive in this business, you'll want to obtain a 3 to 1 ratio on every successful trade. You won't do it every time, but that's what you need to shoot for...

Nice triangle on "Tent", also. Looks like it's ready to break.

Thanks Stevieoh...nice charts. Is this your own web site? I like the ES chart. Nice channel...Time to go short?:cool:

I use omega supercharts real/time. You can also use Tradestation. Omega doesn't sell their products in the US anymore. They promote an online version now that you pay a monthly fee to use. However, you can find copies occasionally on Ebay for sale. Be warned...
