    Multiple contract traders

    Yep, I really meant BE plus a tick to cover commission and marginal profit for a "lunch money" win. With the extra tick, it makes it even more likely to get stopped out with noise or a simple retest from a range breakout. I have no back test data at all, but logically I'd think - all in...

    Does low-noise system exist?

    Main sources for noise would be any fans and the hard drive. More fans, the more noise. An AMD based system that badly needs case fans, oversized jumbo cpu fan, throw in a 3D card with it's own fan. Not much you can do it neglect these .. and over time, quiet fans seem to become loud.

    $2000 - what to look for?

    There's a bad ass trading program that you can buy on late nite infomercials. It lights up green when you need to buy and it goes red when you need to get out. Amazing !

    Multiple contract traders

    Just wondering how other multiple contract traders (e-minis specifically) traded. I'm trying to figure out the logic of being wrong with multiple contracts at a multiplied loss , but when taking partial profits .. being at the smallest when letting the trend ride. Seems like a losing...

    Learning When Not To Trade

    Depends completely on your system and what it's weakness would be. A trend or MA cross system would get hurt in slow choppy markets, but a scalper might thrive in these times. Generally I don't like to trade when: I haven't had enough sleep. I'm feeling an emotional high or low. I'm...

    3 bar pivot stop

    example: bar 1: low $1 , high $1.10 bar 2: low $1.20, high $1.40 bar 3: low $1.10, high $1.20 basically it signals a pullback or end to an existing trend, people often use a break of the previous low to enter a counter trade or exit the previous trend trade.

    trend or counter-trend?

    My primary setup is a counter trend divergence trade, so I thrive in chop. If this setup fails because we're in a strong trend, then I'll change to a hold/swing low stop method. It's a lot easier for a scalper to switch to a trend method than a trend follower trying to scalp.

    well.. 6 wins, 2 losses +37.5 on the NQ 6 wins, 4 losses, 1 BE +16.25 on the ES doing 1 contract, so these are big numbers for me.

    Nas100 Additions

    Nope, once they are initially announced .. it's very bullish for the stock that is being put in since they'll be getting massive institutional interest. For those being taken out, it's very bearish. but with everything, once the news comes out.... you couldn't possibly respond fast enough...

    This is not fun...

    Today was a huge day for me after 3 consecutive days of smallish gains. Just have to keep plugging away since you never know what you're gonna get.
