    How do you handle a Trading Error?

    indeed... When a trade has no reason, you close that position a.s.a.p. However, it's easily said than done when real $$ is on the line. That's when discipline is key. If you got out with a loss, you bite it and life goes on. If you got out with a profit, by some fruits and burn...

    These people who are shorting ES tonight ...

    Aphie, Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that you shorted around 9:35 AM ? Just an advise, leave the first 30 min. of the day to gamblers and veteran traders. If you keep 'playing' in the first 30 min., it will make you go blind and/or insane and/or very poor :)...

    what do you say when people ask you for tips/advice?

    " Tipping is for cows " :p Just tell them how much $$ you've lost trading on tips before, and that now, you have to work hard for each trade. Ask your boss did he have to work hard to be where he is (boss) ? Unless it's the boss' son, I think he would understand. And if they...

    Will start daytrading in one week

    my 6 cents (or a teenie when the Nasdaq was still in fraction) : Don't think of the gain you could make, but concentrate of the loss you could have (in each trade). Loss is the only thing you could control. Cheers!! :)

    What do you guys think of Barchart.com???

    I had Barcharts realtime streaming quotes for a while. It's Java based streaming quotes in your browser. It offers bid/ask size, bid/ask, last. You don't have streaming charts. I used it as backup for my streaming quotes from my broker. Cheers !!! :)

    spread trading

    I don't know about Learn 2 Spread, but I think spread strategies are very good, if you understand the risk management of trading. Spreads decrease your risk, however, at the same time, they slow down your gain. One good spread strategie is the 'credit long synthetic underlier' : Long...
