Hi folks, Like most traders, I spend 8+ hours in front of the computer every day. Over the past few months, I started developing severe headaches centered around the eyes. The physician/optician that i consulted said that I was excessively squinting/straining the muscles around the eyes...

Hi Spydertrader, Thank you for taking the time to reply. The numbers you posted are most impressive. Appreciate your generosity with knowledge. Best regards, kk70

Hi Sypdertrader, Thank you for keeping this excellent journal and in the process educating us all. May I ask if you have kept statistics about this method since you started trading it? I am particulary interested in the -- # of winners (i.e. hitting the 10% profit target) : # of losers...

Steve, Try "The Power of Your Subconscious Mind" by Joseph Murphy, Ph.D. Despite the rather tacky title and some religious undertones, it has been popular for over 40 years. Best regards,

Mahler, which backtesting software are you using? Thanks, -kk70

Non-US stocks? Yahoo stopped carrying long term charts (i.e. > 5 days) for international stocks a few days ago. MSN screener looks like a good site but it is only for US and European stocks. Is there any other site that carries EOD quotes/charts for international stocks? Many thanks,

def, What if there is a loss? For example, my account is in USD base currency. If I incur a loss of say 100 Euros and a commission of 5 Euros by trading ESTX 50, then will the 105 Euros automatically be converted from USD and deducted? If so, at what rate will the conversion from USD to...

That's certainly true. But what I meant was that if the Crude E-minis are not going to be easily available for the retail trader to trade once the switch to ClearPort takes place, then are there any other products that can be traded as a substitute/alternative to Crude Oil Futures? TIA...

Is there a stock or ETF that closely mimics Crude Oil's price movements? TIA -kk70

LOL !! Same here!!

Happened to me too, was suddenly sent an e-mail erroneously stating that I had subscribed to data from NAsdaq Level 2. I replied to that e-mail AND went to the accounts page and unchecked the unwanted data. Account was subsequently not charged.

MichaelD: Did TS have automated trading for only 1 strategy per account till now then? Thanks

icarus618, Thank you for taking the trouble to reply. Most grateful. Just a quick follow-up question -- what do you mean by lowest tax bracket ? i.e. what is the income that one should have earned to be in the lowest tax bracket? Thanks again! -kk70

Hi folks, I have a modest profit to show this year after trading the S&P500 E-mini. I understand that profits on futures transactions are taxed as follows -- 60% of the profit is taxed as long term capital gains and the remaining 40% is treated as regular income and taxed accordingly...

nkhoi: Which trade-room is that? Thanks! -kk70

Hi Mark: Do you have any commission plans for the lower volume trader? Interested to know if there is a non-software option where one does not have to pay $500/mo. but pays slightly more in R/T commissions like Interactive brokers. Thanks! -kk70

Wow, you must be awake all night if you are trading the US markets from China. May I ask what your backup plan is if the internet connection goes down and you have to get out of a position? Do you call international long distance or is there a local desk in Singapore/Hong Kong that can help...

Outstanding post Maverick!!

Dave: Thanks for the prompt response. I stand corrected on the Sep rollover; though my charts still show a 0.25 difference I understand that CME can fix a closing price that is different from the one showing on the chart. Also, I was going through the intraday chart of SPY. It seems to...

PXG: Wow!! This is really scary. After reading your post, I manually checked ES.D with ESZ02.D and ESH03.D. Looks like they really flubbed the rollover on this one too. They have simply SUBSTITUTED the price of ESH03.D on 12/12 WITHOUT backadjusting. Thus, ES.D follows ESZ02.D till...
