About 75% of my entries and exits are limit orders. Savage

I watch the 3min charts for MSFT, CSCO, INTC, NDX & TICK and pretty much base my trades off what I see in the charts. I also watch the NQ tick chart looking for low risk entry points. As far as stops are concerned, I try not to use them. I found that I get stopped out too often on...

Today I just took what it gave me. A lot of small swings but nothing consistent. I booked a lot of 4 pt moves and they add up. You can't hit a homerun with every trade. I'm only trading one contract until I know I have the hang of it. I'm very tempted to jump up to more contracts. Will...

It is an Excel spreadsheet.

Well, I guess I should change my name to Yoda then! Savage(Yoda)

Who cares???? If you are a real trader than you can make just as much $$ going down as going up. I'm so glad that I trade now without a bias towards the bullish side. It really takes out a lot of the stess if you don't care where the intermediate to long term trend is heading. That's the...

I averaged about $300/day on the NQ last week. Today I made $800 on one contract over about 12 trades. Savage

How do I get set up to trade the Hang Seng mini futures contract. I have a futures account with IB that I trade the NQ & ES. Do I need a seperate account or can I trade the MHI in the same account? Also, is there any sources of free charting or a website to look at data for the MHI...

Was wondering if anyone in US is trading foreign markets at night. I'm on the East Coast and would like to find something to trade in the evening, i.e. 6pm-11pm EST. I looked on IB's website and thought maybe futures on the Hang Seng??? Anyone else have any other experience or ideas...

Ooooooouuuuuuuccccccchhhhhhh! I would seriously need to be in the tank all ready to touch the stuff!!! More power to ya!!

My experience with IB over the last 3 days is that I lose about 0.5 points on executions. It kindof pisses me off but I wonder if I would have even gotten an execution if I would have enter a limit order. I have been only entering market orders as an experiment because the NQ is liquid enough...

Strawberry Hill is classic!!!! I think I met my wife getting buzzed on Strawberry Hill...unfortunately, it doesn't have enough alcohol to get her to take her clothes off so I prefer a stronger drink!!! Savage

Hey all! I thought I'd start a post(since we all are bargain hunters) about wine(because I really drink a lot of it after a day of trading). I'm curious to know what are your recommendations on wine under $15/bottle. I'll throw a few out there to get things started. J. Vidal Fleury...

Hey All, I've had some good trades trading 1 contract of NQ and am averaging a little less than $300/day profit on 1 contract. It's very tempting to multiply that by 5 and start trading 5 contracts. Please give me some advice, preferably from those who trade futures now, on when it is wise...

Can anyone recommend a decent PCI multi monitor video card? I have an AGP card all ready and would like to add another card in a PCI slot to drive 2-4 more monitors. Thanks. Savage

I know how the NYSE works in opening orders with the specialist but how are Nasdaq orders that have accumulated overnight with broker/dealers worked. Has anyone figured out a way to profit on the opening on Nasdaq based on these orders? Savage

Does anyone have a suggestion for cheap & reliable emini quotes and charting. I trade with IB. Saw CBOE is charging $30/month for quotes and basic charting for just eminis. Has anyone used this or have any other suggestions? Thanks, Savage

Does anyone know of any Prop or other daytrading firms in the Washington DC/Baltimore area besides Bright. I am looking into various options and the best one i've found so far is remote trading with Echo. Anyone in the area trading with Echo or have any other suggestions. I was hoping to find...
