Thanks for the link...I didn't know of www.tickdata.com. btw could you explain the "haha it was defaced by skykids" for those of us who don't have a clue about Bufferman's comment? :) :D

Be sure to check the "fine print" of the system requirements for your trading platform, charting application, etcetera. Several popular applications say that they only guarantee that there will be no issues with Intel processors...whether there are actually any issues with AMD, I don't know.

If you can afford it use one computer for your trading platform and one for charting, etc. you will thank yourself for having two computers. Lets face it, we would all like to live in a world where computers perform flawlessly, but in the real world multiple applications occasionally cause...

Trading Technologies X-Trader has a top notch simulator. Velocity Futures is an ET sponsor and can set you up for a one month free trial. I also used stock-Trak while I was in school and it was O.K. I think there is a small fee. http://www.stocktrak.com/regmat.php3

When I search for the thread "Top Books for Day Trading" I get the following message: "The search term you specified (day) is under the minimum word length (4) and therefore will not be found. Please make this term longer. If this term contains a wildcard, please make this term more...

Is there anywhere online or in the Chicago area that sells those!? :D

The first one in the pair is what your buying or selling and it is trading against the second one. If the USD/JPY is going up that means that the US$ is strengthening vs. the Yen (i.e. the Yen is weakening vs. the US$).

If giving back too much is a recurring problem after big winners try taking a break after the winner and then if you choose to trade again give yourself a maximum allowable drawdown--maybe 25%.

I use CQG as I wrote somewhere in the beginning of this tread and I have Bloomberg Pro. If you are making a living by trading, it makes no sense to skimp on the tools you need. On average I make more trading each economic release that I get from Bloomberg than Bloomberg costs and the data feed...

14 Euro per round turn is too much; find a new broker. :eek:
