I think that is an excellent idea. In addition, she offers a archive of previous trading days dialogue records. That alone can be a valuable learning tool. I'm of the belief that nothing beats experience. You may not agree with Linda's approach, but she has so much experience that you cannot...

I found the setups to be effective when combined with Linda's overalll program. She trys to anticipate the "kind of day" it will be (buy day, sell day, sell short day) and looks for her trades accordingly. Some of the methods in the book are not going to work for every condition. To use her...

Walther: Although this is directed to you. I believe it applies to anyone who wants to pursue this kind of dialogue. I don't think people should insult one another (although sometimes I have to admit, I have yielded to the temptation myself). I don't like the idea that anyone calls you an...

To all subscribers: I have found that it pays to develop a feel for market rhythyms. That is to say, I have found that there are periods when the markets are dull, and low volatility, and rather than get chopped up, I just don't trade. For me, it is better to take a month off (august is usually...

Sorry folks, I seem to have gotten into the bad habit of saying "in my opinion" . Steve46

Hi JR: As you may remember from our previous communication, I am always more concerned about how to exit than how to enter a position. I notice that your first comments about the system included profit targets, and general comments about how to exit. I like your system, but I hope to improve it...

Hey JR Im going to give your solution a try. I filled out the IB application already and if I am lucky perhaps I can get my account activated quickly. In retrospect, I should have left my old account at Man Financial active as a backup. Commissions were high, but you could count on getting a...

dbphoenix Thanks, I'll give that a go. I think its time to move over to IB for my main brokerage account as well. It's too bad, I had hoped to have a better experience with Tradestation. Oh well, live and learn. Best Regards, Steve46

Well Ladies & Gentlemen: I havejust spent 30 minutes of my life that I would like to have back! Apparently, I cannot trade the Eurostoxx50, or the DAX from Tradestation, because according to tech services, they do not "have them yet". Also, I cannot get a data feed for these tradeables either...

Hey folks, can anyone help me out with the new symbols for tradestation for YM, ESTX50 and DAX? I would really appreciate it. Regards, Steve46

dpanic: I really sympathize with you on this issue. I am constantly working on exit strategies, especially ones that take the realtime decision making out of my hands. You seem to have done the same thing I am guilty of. You get close to your stop, you've been waiting a while and you say to...

To all thread subscribers: Sorry, I have been busy and unable to monitor the thread until today. My comments on selling hedged premium seem to have been the focus of some conversation. I wanted to establish two "facts" (as I see them). First. selling premium is big business, and the folks who...

I think people miss the point. Reading the posts, it starts to sound like "urban legend" stores. "I sold options naked, and boom I lost everything!!!" First, one has to have to broker's permission to sell naked options. A broker with a decent reputation won't permit it unless you can demonstrate...

Richsohn: I agree about the issue of teaching people "secretes of trading". That kind of approach smacks of carnival barkers trying to lure folks into the tent. As I said before, you are probably right to be suspicious. I think everybody learns at thier pace, and in their own way, but one thing...

Babak: I read the article by Cliff Droke, and I guess I have to say "wow". I'm a mechanical engineer by training, and I know the math behind cycles is pretty well developed, but I have to tell you that basing investment decisions on "K Waves" is way "out there". In fact this kind of approach is...

RichSohn You know I have conflicting feelings about this post. I just got off the phone with a friend who wanted to know about some aspect of trading. Of course, I don't charge anyone, and I don't have an ongoing relationship where I mentor every day, but I kind of like to help people out if I...

Funster: Have you read some of the other posts? If I saw all the problems these folks have had to deal with, I would not be eager to start an account right now. In addition, except for an email reply from Ms. Perez, I have not heard any follow-up comment about the problems. As I wrote in my...

Tgregg: Opened Task Manager and found nothing out of order. Of course its Saturday night at 9:48PM on the west coast, no real stress on the system from market volume. CPU usage is low, Mem Usage within decent parameters (highest usage is ORDIHst.exe at 22,416K, followed by ORCAL.exe at 14,024K...

Having the same problems with TS using all system resources. Incredible that they would want us all to "update" when they have so many problems to fix.

Chuck (and all post subscribers) Most Tradestation users are using the testing capabilities and are in a sense locked in to using "easy language". System developers have developed a boatload of systems using that platform. It has become a defacto standard. Unfortunately. It is sort of like the...
