Is this valid? I was able to trade with stops yesterday with no problems. When does this come in effect?

Hey Pete, It's funny how we all have to go through the same difficulties on the road to market mastery and consistent profitablity. Even though we are all so different, yet we are indeed so alike in our psychology and the way we react to market conditions. That's why I can feel what you...

Hey Seth, Below is the answer I gave to DayTraderPete in a similar question to yours. I think it applies to you as well. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=20238&perpage=6&pagenumber=3 I think every trader goes through the point you are going through: you reach a...

Hey Pete, I think every trader goes through the point you are going through: you reach a phase where some (most?) days you make decent money, and then go on to lose much of it in these "I went crazy" losing days. What solved the problem for me was to set restrictions, and stick by them: 3...

Thanks to everybody for replying, even though not much valuable information came out unfortunately... Still looking for a way to quantify whether the day (hours) ahead will be directional or sideways. I've come up with a method to detect/quantify increasing volatility and give directional...

I should specify that I do have a profitable system to make money, using oscillators (MACD, Stoch, RSI, Price ROC etc) and other indications (formations, candlesticks, support/resistance / retracement) to get an initial idea of where the market is headed, and then a breakout system to enter the...

Hello, I've been researching a system to indicate in advance which days are / will be directional (volatile) and which sideways, and would like some input. The system uses Volatility as defined by the Width of the Bollinger Bands (UpperBB - LowerBB) divided by the BB moving average. If you...

Hey gotta_trade, although I'm not an expert on this (just figured it out today), I'll give you my two cents worth... Well, all I just did was to install the appropriate drivers for my video card. Then I went to Display Properties, and voila!, there was a whole menu regarding the dual...

Actually, I just made it work. It was just a matter of downloading and installing the right driver for the video card. So now I have dual display, ie. I can display one thing on my screen and another thing on the extra monitor! I'm a happy camper here! :D Thanks all for your help! Loukas

So basically we need some sort of hardware in order to have dual display. It's not just a matter of increasing the resolution for example, or downloading some software to "stretch" the desktop...

How can we tell if the laptop has a dual-display capability? Is this a software issue or a hardware issue? I have a DELL C600 PIII750 laptop, I can setup a second display but see exactly the same things I see on my laptop display. Would like to divide my desktop in two. Is it possible to add...

Hey all, This is actually my first post, I wanted to hear some opinions about the following: The Dow seems to be forming a H&S formation, and it is testing the neck line currently. If broken, this formation gives a target of 1000pts below, at about 8800. Since "the trend is your...

I'm not sure if you finally found a place to download forex data, I'd be interested in them as well. I am looking to input into Metastock, so anything ASCII will do. Thanks in advance, Loukas
