    Want opinion on collective2

    I was very close to listing a system, then I received an email from C2 that customer credit card and personal information was stolen or compromised. You have to give a CC number when you list a system to get paid. So I backed off. Probably a one time thing. I am considering giving it a try again...

    Will Robert Prechter be proved Right ?

    I don't know about these predictions of doom. I mean as a country this will not be the first crisis. Do you guys remember the savings and loans crisis in the 1980's or the latin american debt crisis, the list is endless. Every 5-7 years there is a major clamity, we are told this will bring...

    Transcendental Meditation

    +1 As many others have said, I find the key is to practice regularly. If boredom is impeding regular practice, then its best to vary the practice. will look into chanting. I find a combination of meditation and qigong like falun dafa or what hippie mentioned kunlun to be very...

    Transcendental Meditation

    Yes, amen to remaining centered during the trading day. I settled for falun dafa meditation and exercises. As others said it doesn't really matter which form of meditation/relaxation/brain machine one uses, the key is to do it every day, it has a cumulative effect. In other news, reading...

    High Probability Setups

    Regarding bid-ask footrpints, Tradestation and IB use snapshot quotes, however other data vendors I find of value. For an intraday trader, could you please elaborate on the statement 'If you get the big picture wrong at the beginning , then the devil will always follow you wherever you go. '...

    High Probability Setups

    Very good post, has done much to further my understanding. In my case, market delta or footprint charts which measure bid-ask pressure go a long way for me to measure as you call market mood. Also thank you gabfly, your indicator example hit home.

    High Probability Setups

    gabfly: your post reads like a koan, unfortunatly I am too dumb to fully understand it. 'balance of probability' is a new phrase for me. so balance of probability vs high probability. If I understand you correctly, you seem to be saying that in real time as price action unfolds you 'weigh'...

    As Jbahn said CR is not for type A personalities. After living in Manhattan off and on for the past 16 years I would love a boring place. Living in the mountains on a coffee farm, trading from there sounds just great...

    High Probability Setups

    Thank you all for your replies. I have been looking at this thing(discretionary trading) for the past six months. One word that comes to mind is 'confluence'. As my friend Redneck and others point out, waiting for high probability setups is a slippery slope. However there is some evidence...

    High Probability Setups

    This is more so directed at discretionary traders, how do you differentiate between a High Probability Setup from one that is not? Can you please give examples. As a mechanical trader, we take pride in taking 100% of the signals. In fact, it is deemed as a lack of discipline if we don't take...

    Help - Trading at Work

    man I can't believe people asked you to contact your compliance department to get permission. Shortly after contacting compliance, I would have asked you to immediatly start to polish and update your resume, because you will be looking for a job soon. There are worse things in life than trading...

    Linda Raschke

    You bring up a great point about chat rooms. I actually subscribed to Al Brooks webinars for just one month. I found it very educational but at the same time was disruptive to my own trading. Good thing about Al Brooks webinars is that they are recorded, so as part of the membership one can go...
