    Actually no, I didn't mean 10% per week.

    Up 20% YTD, is that good?

    Agreed, it is generally best to start a thread with mucho information. There are more traders on ET down by at least 20% than up more than 20%, so the doubters will always post more.

    98% of Traders Fail? Says Who...?

    I enjoyed studying spam stocks some years ago. Figured out how to fade stocks based on the amount of spam emailed out about that stock. The scale didn't work, since brokers require huge margins to short penny stocks. If they didn't...

    Recommendations for a Futures Trader

    Search ET for answers to your questions. You have to dig for enough information and broker ratings. I like PFG for a broker, IB for data and QuoteTracker for charts. Fills are good but not great, data is good enough for charts and QuoteTracker is superior. Other traders have more sophisitcated...

    Good words. There is no sense in fighting what you cannot control.

    IQ feed vs. IB feed...

    I use IB as a data feed but not as a broker, for the reasons pointed out earlier. My broker gets good fills but not great. At some point I may consider spending buku bucks every month for better data, but I've run the math and my own data source comparisons from trial periods have not seen...

    T1 line

    T-1s are nice, had one in my office until I quit working for a living. You can get the same bandwidth from upper-end broadband solutions. But the T-1 advantage is in not having to share a connection with lower-speed broadband users, as is the case in cable, DSL and satellite. You're still...

    In my membership with PureTrick, I saw lots of people leave and lots of people come. What does that tell ya?

    A real profitable Trading Room with ALERTS??????

    It's a shame that Alex et al cannot stop being a salesman long enough to learn how to trade in any demonstrable way. Last time I checked, science was about evidence demonstrable to people other than the one making the claim. Guess Alex et al should have finished high school biology.

    A real profitable Trading Room with ALERTS??????

    You can't count, either? Geez, you are a loss. OK Alex, I gave you an open chance to put up or shut up, and now you go into the pit. Not only that, but you show yet another instance of wimping out when challenged to tell the truth. Love the photo of your apartment! Sorry I couldn't let you...

    US foreclosure filings surge 55 percent

    Paid cash for my upper-middle class home on the Island. Sure glad I didn't buy that huge house with a mortgage requiring 50% of my gross income. Nobody in their right mind would do that anyway, right? Nah...

    My First Journal

    Hello Jon, Thanks for the invitation. Yes is the answer to your PM. But to your trading, a few questions. Why did you choose the NQ over the YM? Do you use profit targets or rely on formulas for exits? Where did you learn about investing? Where did you learn about trading? What is your goal...

    5% - 10% profit per day trading

    Hola, I am glad for you that your system is currently generating a good return for you. Take what the market gives you and be happy with that. Daily targets are nice as averages, but tend to inject emotion into trading decisions. You will see plenty of controversy on ET if you post long...
