This is what I am doing. This idle orders is the only thing left with execution. Otherwise I am quick to respond to any changes. My trading has improved greatly. Most of the days are winners but I pay additional charges by losing to this land mines. i gotta eliminate this expense.

At the moment I need to stop losing money to those land mines. If I can color it red and set ESC to close all of them, it would be perfect. Right now I see I need to click as many times as orders I have and it looks like first click is only to activate order for cancellation.

I would like it too, but I am quick guy personally and I really enjoy scalping :) As I told before, with 10 000 size and trading highly liquid stocks a lot of things are possible. I do not think 10 000-20 000 size per trade can have any difficulty with say FAZ. Here my interests and that of...

I will explain. As I am tradiung and scalping, I see price moving around S/R and I am setting orders to enter. If one is hit ok, I am in. I always cancel order before opening another, but sometimes it happens, as my window is always full of canceled orders. 50-80. Then, I am in trade, I set...

AAAintheBeltway, thank you very much. I see nothing negative in your post. Idea about New order having different color is an excellent one and I will try to implement it if platform permits. I understand what you means by meaning that my interest and the firms differs. However it is...

I agree completely. I tried to trade breka outs/ down but at this time I have no enough ticks to risk to do it. I practically have to scalp and look for set ups that provide the lowest risk and break outs trades are not often trades with lowest risk. Stop often should be set 10-30 ticks...

I do not think the problem # 1 going to persist forever. I hope to finish it once and for all this coming week. Anyway, until I am done with it I am not increasing my trade size.

Thank you. I only have one position opened at any one time. I have made changes to my hot keys. I close order with a single click of escape. The problem, is that i open many and cancel. Something eluded me. So, what I think is, I set special place on my left screen and will open window for...

Ended this week flat. Yesterday lost exactly as much as I had earned on previous days. It looked exactly like last week when i was up before last week days and lost everything as some on last 2 days. I think the problem is psychological plus some self sabotage. I have analyzed what was...

already did. click escape and orders closed.

check your PM inbox. i have sent you the list of prop firms. May be you can find something in New York. I wonder what problem there, New York and Chicago are the best places for trading careers.

Smart dudes, they are testing strategies with OPM. This looks like fraud. I understand setting money as deposit in case if new trader loses too much but forcing someone to trade unproven strategy doe snot look as a honest firm.

I understand why you left. I had no idea and you did not mention you put your own money and they forced you to trade whatever they wanted. But in the beginning you mentione dthat you could trade any stock up to $20.

Did you trade your own money there??? I mean did you put your own money? Although it is hard to trade without experinced guys so far, but the giood part that we have very few limitations. I take Title trading strategies from their theory Volume I & II, add my own thoughts and trade this way...

Exactly. Tomorrow I am not trading as have things to attend, so, Friday left. Things are getting better. If everything is fine I will probably increase my size to 200 shares since April.

Limit order can be closed by clicking on Escape on the upper left side of the key board. I used to close them by clicking wioth mouse on cancel in orders window. have lost a lot this way over few weeks.

Ok, today again good day. I am working on cutting and minimazing my losses as it was the reason of my lost day last week. Let losses get too big up to 9 ticks. Today should have been way more up but did not know that it is possible to cancel limit orders by clickking on cancel. I was entering...

Well, there is a saying in Russian. The soldier is bad if he does not want to be a general.... I have had worse odds against me but happened to be in that 1-55, so, i think it is entirely possible. The most important, I do not see it as a get rich quick scheme but rather a long term business...

Neveralone, why do not you go back to the firm you have been with? Just do what they want and develop as a trader. After all, if you can make money trading C why not? This is business after all. At least you are not undercapitalized and you are progressing.

Thank you Szeven. We have few traders at the office and none is experienced. Experienced is coming over form Swift on April 1. No one to spy upon :) We are probably 6 guys and even floor manager is learning to trade along with us. I think he should do everything to bring experienced...
