    You won't win

    I could say..."You won't lose the weight"(you won't win) every time someone tells me their going on a diet. And you know what...85 to 90 percent won't. If you do, I could say, "You won't keep it off"(You won't win over the long run). And guess what...97% won't. It's all about...

    Hidden Stops on Globex??

    Here's a program called buttontrader that I've been messing with the last few days that shows the 5 levels you're looking for. As you can see, I'm short, and then a heavy concentration of 894 orders appeared at the 918 level. According the this program, concentrations of 800 or more are...

    IB check request ??

    Fear of Failure

    You could probably spend the rest of you're life exploring these questions, so I'll just make it short and sweet... To be a successful trader, you "Must Learn To Lose" And to be a successful baseball player, you must accept the fact you're going to strike out or be tagged out, six or...

    Cut out the upgrade & down grade!!

    Can you say...Swiss Bank Account. No names, no faces...just passwords. I know I guy who used to do it. He had inside info on buyout candidates, so he'd call his Swiss banker, and tell them what to buy for his account. He got busted though, the banker coat-tailed him. And, since...

    Is "Buy bid, sell ask" practical?

    LOL...you're right. I was probably being a little overly optimistic.

    Is "Buy bid, sell ask" practical?

    If you're talking about "scalping" for a tick...then it wouldn't seem practical to me. The reason is commissions... Even with $4.80 RT, we're fighting a losing battle. Every time we make a tick, we pocket $7.70 cents (per contract). Every time we lose a tick, we're out $17.30 cents...
