It sure did. And you're my new trading coach. :p ~Scientist

You mean : You could actually make money as a professional Day Dreamer? :D ~Scientist

With all due respect, bubba7 - You are right and you're wrong, too. For starters, his point wasn't a suggestion, but an insult. Second, OK you did the right thing. You had your stop 1T above mine. You made +2pts. This has nothing to do with the timeframe, though. 1, 3 or 5 min - I had a...

But... Hrrrm...? 90-95% ? Hey Natalie - I'll be forever indebted to you if you show me how - or even just somebody else who can... :) Or does it just work in the UK? Well I'm off to trade the FTSE... :D All the Best ~Scientist

How fundamentally true. I think one of the greatest handicaps for being a successful trader would be to be assuming or opinionated. A mistake we all make. But the less often, the better! One the secrets to trading, on the other hand, is to be flexible at all times - Rather than sticking to...

WHAT THE ..... ? :confused: What's your problem man? I execute everything intraday off 1 & 3-min charts! I also scalp - I even trade the Globex session off 2-min charts. So what??? Do you have any idea how many traders, particularly pro scalpers, use these timeframes? Don't make...

Good points! I agree. To the guy who opened this thread: Particularly important is the simulated trading point. You can always use a free trading frontend like futures-trader for IB which is excellent and free for simulation mode! You cannot lose money in sim trading, and you can learn...

Nice! Every Trader can learn something from these guys... Excerpts from this site: (225!) REASONS TO LOVE YOUR CORPS 8. Toughest mascot. The Marine Corps' is a bull dog. The Navy's: a goat. 21. Toughest boot camp. When San Diego was still training Navy recruits, legend has it that...

I fully agree with you my brother. There's also always the possibility of a deliberate "failure" instigated in order to make some people some profits. Regardless of all regulation. Just a thought. Sorry, but I don't like your signature. It's inappropriate. This was probably the most...

LMAO :D What a spot-on assessment. Such deeply true words of wisdom my brother. May you be blessed with good luck, long life and prosperity! ~The Scientist

I think more interesting that just what ppl did before they started trading would be to add how they actually got into trading - What moved them? It'd be fun to hear some inspiring stories folks! ~The Scientist

First "Business" with 5 (buying kids' junk and selling it for more) First Stock Purchase with 8 (Coca-Cola LOL - well it sort of doubled after 2 years). Hopeless computer fanatic and full-time student ever since the age of 9. Another business (besides many less interesting ones) (at 11)...

So did I once. Now I'm "rich" so I don't need to anymore. I can run around in a torn shirt. It's not that the rich people see through the facade of the poor. It's simply that the rich focus on being rich vs looking rich. Conclude: Truth#1: Rich people don't need to drive big cars /...

LOL who says mrmarket ain't writing all this poop from his padded cell in the 'closed' section? Looks like he ain't got much else to do... :eek: :( :) :p :D ~Scientist

As always, phoenix, you have to start by criticizing intentionally constructive (as opposed to you) people again. Regarding 'typically arrogant and condescending remarks', and "let me show you..." I remember you giving me the same stuff over and over, after I tried to explain something...

No that wouldn't enhance it at all. This is an old and far-criticized idea of pseudo-democracy. You cannot give more powerful / rich / popular / smart people more votes. It creates problems. It's bad enough that society amplifies this kind of thinking, but if you, for example, gave each...

Well this wouldn't give people the flexibility to change their mind about particular individuals, it would be very short-term biased (biased on the messages posted in that particular time period voted for - when would you vote?) and it would discredit the flexibility to change your mind about...

Good point. Well if you take a different name next time, that's just sad. Some ppl are really just useless. Paying a small fee would filter out a lot of jerks. Paying $5 or even $1 (ie PayPal) per month would clean up the community immensely and weed out the timewasters / not serious abou t...

Thanks a lot for that my fellow brother. I said the same on page 1, and don't think that a per-post rating is good. Besides, too complicated. However, my point was a per-user rating that shows which users are worth their salt and which aren't. I think being able to rate users and set your...

I recently started a thread regarding improving EliteTrader by using an individual rating system. Please check it out and vote for what you think is right; http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=285950 ~The Scientist
