    Computer to Get Started

    Should be fine.. if you're daytrading with real time data, then cable or DSL should be a requirement. 17" monitor minimum also

    How good is the ADX indicator?

    Depends on how you use it.. but I don't find it that useful, it lags even more than most indicators.

    How to Improve your Stock Trading via Futures Trading

    I Hate Trading

    Simply: Do you understand and believe in your system enough to continue to follow it ? Trading is trading, it's not any worse now than it was 6 months ago.

    emini scalper's question

    I look for moves that can get at least 3 points and consider any move that goes +2 in my direction a winner. Anything less is considered no followthrough. Hold time anywhere from 10 min to 5 hrs.

    POLL: % of account risked on a single trade

    All depends on the system, some allow a very quick move to BE after an initial relative large stop. Others lose so many times that you better have your risk in check. Just because some book says to only risk 1 or 2% doesn't necessarily mean they are correct. You set your stops relative...

    Don Miller .: again:) :.

    Nothing all that magical in his course, you could probably find the system description somewhere on this board. I'd advise taking the 3 min cross with market analysis, entering only on initial retracements and exiting even faster on BB stabs. You only look for small 1 to 3 point type wins...

    Anyone know how the floor pivot #s were made?

    I've noticed plenty of little nuances just off the numbers.. if we've had an uptrend the prior day, R1 and R2 are usually smaller in range and the S1 and S2 are wider apart. Therefore, it is much easier for price to trade up and it will take a ton for price to head down to the S1 and S2...

    Anyone know how the floor pivot #s were made?

    I'm looking for maybe a book, article or webpage that discusses the logic behind the floor pivot numbers , perhaps the history of who invented it and what reasoning they based their formula on. Or if anyone knows the answer that would be great.

    HELP! my winning days are killing me!

    Your system either scalps for the inital impulse push or exits at a fixed target .. or it goes for the big trend of the day, attempting to capitalize off the open and closes near extreme theory. When you have a trend day, your scalp system comes up short. When you have a chop day, your...
