OK so I have a trading idea that I have put into rules that I think I can automate. Ive taken a few months to develop the ideas and put them down on paper. I believe my next step is to find some software to test it on and put my rules into a language that the software understands. I have no...

I wanted to gather some opinions on the role intelligence plays in trading. I personally believe trading is about discipline, emotional intelligence, patience, etc... Having the intelligence to understand this and apply it is one thing. But what role do you think actual intelligence has in...

Anyone here of these guys? Any and all info appreciated.

If I wanted to sell a large amount of physical gold what is the best place to do it? Thanks.

Does anyone have experience trading with this? I use T4 and I don't think there should be any issues but I want to be sure? Any other ideas for a tablet? Thanks...

Whoa, a real response! I must have been directed to another forum. Thanks.

Can someone please give me some gift ideas a trader might like? Open to any suggestions.

Apparently you haven't heard Lil' Wayne, Drake, Rick Ross, and Kanye West. Jokes...

Nice night, Greg. I personally don't trade any of those pairs but nonetheless keep it up!

Well my last trade of the week was long USD/CFH @ 1.0156. Target was 1.0200. Exited at near scratch right before it rallied to my target. Thankfully my week was good enough to not make this a big deal, but a lesson was learned for sure.

Hey Sam, I just wanted to say I think you being hard set to sticking to your game plan is a good thing. You also said you wanted to increase your hit ratio? If you don't already have such a rule in place, I would limit the amount of trades you can make per week. For me doing that helped me...

Yes, I am in agreement with what you said. Trading is so complex and so simple at the same time. I never traded on the floor but I did run and clerk at the CBOT for a couple years. Currently I do not trade any other markets, save for the occasional long term play in grains or treasuries...

My targets and stops are a bit further out than yours but I do use PA and exit if it doesn't feel right. Often I can't say, well so and so is happening, so I wanna get out now. It's just intuitive, I guess. If I scale out, my initial target will be 40-50 ticks away, and the next one...

Glad to read a journal whose author trades similar to me. Please keep it coming.

Those projects are mostly gone now. The area used to be, as you said, "vetty vetty bad." I still wouldn't recommend living there though. That map the OP posted is from 2006, I think things have DRAMATICALLY changed since then. Lincoln Park is a great neighborhood with easy commute to downtown.

It depends. If it was a losing day but I followed my plan and didn't trade in a stupid manner, then I realize that it is an inevitable part of the game. However if I didn't follow my plan and did trade in a stupid manner then I normally go through a short period of self-loathing, cool down...

For $700 a month in rent, your options may be limited to less than desirable areas. You can probably check on Craigslist.com to check out both apartment and job. But before you make a decision on a neighborhood please ask, because the bad areas in Chicago are no joke.

Although I don't have the time to help, this sounds like an awesome project. If I had done anything like this in school, it would be the one thing I remember.

Cool, thanks for posting those.

Please do, I'm interested in getting into those types of books now.
