I have been trading the BS-Mini for awhile now. Although it has a lot of false breakouts, it seems pretty smoth for me using the system I developed. Best of luck. -

Difficulty makes one feel special Strange as it may sound it is true. Consider if you are the one who struggles and triumphs does that not make you feel special, worthy or masterful? If it were easy and anyone could do it then you would not be anymore disciplined, or smarter would you...

Probably not at powerful at the matrox but more compact. And with 32Mb of memory it runs charts just fine. At first I was concerned about the "little bit" of memory, but it does not make an impact on TS8. Also the VTbook does 1600x1200. So you have room to move to a 20" monitor...

I would suggest running the windows performance monotir during trading . See where the bottlenecks are first, then decide. CNTRL-ALT-DEL brings it up. Check the Commit charge box. See the total usage, and peak. I like to run with peack at 80% below total physical and Total at 50% of...

I used a 17" since it has the same resolution as an 19". I had to remove the stand from an NEX V series. And place it in a Pelican case with the laptop. sturdy but heavy as all get out. I have since given it up and just use the laptop which has WUXGA 1920x 1200, if I really want to...

Best of luck, I worked with a dual monitor setup and used a Pelican case. I got everything in there but ultimately, again the stand (an ergotron 100) was a problem. I have reverted back to a single laptop (sony widesreen) and leave the extra monitors at home. I just changed my...

Get the User interface figured out, first Killer monitors. Get 20" monitors for 700 each and then a stand for 300. That is 1700 right there. I use NEC NX series. Best bang for the buck IMHO. Wireless keyboard and mouse. Finger printer reader. That leave 1800 for a machine. Way...

I try to keep the amount of information needed to a minimum. Everything fits on a RAM key. Keep the machine ultra clean too. --Cheers

I like it. It does DVI and is pretty good. Not quite as good as the VGA comming out of the laptop, but very close. Certainly enough for trading. Can produce some heat. That being said, I would put your laptop on a cooler pad. IMHO, if the internal fan never goes one, then the heat...

Although I dislike sony for cheapness, I did get one. An A270. Upgraded to the Hitachi 7200 RPM hard disk (highly recommended) Key for me was the WUXGA. Put two NEC 20" 1600x1200 screens on it using the VTbook and external monitor port. Ergoton Monitor stand is a nice addition...

MSFT is spending more on software research than any other company. Longer term PCs have a very basic problem. The UI sucks. How old is the keyboard. Remember when the mouse was new? Smalltalk 80? Sure the internet has made things connected. Wireless provides mobility. Better chips...

Hi Flash, It is hard to evaluate the entries out of context. Trading is a bit like a balanced meal. An appetizer need to be balanced with the salad, wine, soup, entree etc. If you were waiting for scalp or a breakout or whatever, the entry and exit are designed to minimize the risk...

I stop when there are no more trades. Also I stop before the close so I am not pressed into clsoing the trade. Somedays there are many trades, others there are few. Let the market action dictate , imo. Of course this requires discipline. If I can't have discipline, or it if it is...

and Yes I use stops but only as a tool not a gate keeper. lol Books give you what you take out of them. Like reading a novel with you are 12 and then when you are 42. Different things will come to mind. That is the power of words. I rated myself as an assessment. One of the axioms of...

There was a dr who did a study on neural tissue in the stomach. Done in the early part of the century. Recently another Dr did it again and found that there is as much neural tissue and neural transmitters in the gut area as there is in the brain. Enteric brain is the term. You can learn...

ProfLogic, The counter proof is quite simple and has been argued over a long time. I am assuming you are saying something like: Price is reality and a fact of the matter. S/R should also be readable in the same way This argument suffers from several problems. It is a classic...

This thread is a monolog and is also redundant with another one I have started in Tech analysis called "break this system". --Cheers

Let me start my saying that it really is greek to me. This is the first time I have considered doing this. Here is the scenario to assume. Long 5000 shares, say MSFT, which will be held for 4-6 years from today. By that time it is expect to be closer to 50 a share and I will sell 1/2...

Man I really got to start showing up for work. lol Trade 12 began at 8:30 and ended at the close. There was plenty of time to buy in during consolidation. Maybe time next trade I will be able to be present and enter. (notice I did not say trade XIII). --Cheers

although there is not an end signal to this long, I would be inclined to put a stop loss in. Reasoning is that it is the 3rd Buy long signal in a row. Although we made a new high, the signal is getting old, as measured by the continuing BUY signals without an exit signal first. Better to...
