I have the most experience with ninja trader and have just been using the ninja charts for gaining experience and trying things out. I know that a lot of people use ninja as the order entry platform, but it seem they always have their charting through esignal, tradestation, sierra, multi charts...

It sounds like the beginnings for most, at least thus far, were humble. Nobody started from the position of power so to speak by having ample money. Thanks SAXON. Your antics in the ES thread led me to ask where everyone else started out and how much risk is proper. I just couldn't...

Thanks. That info combined with your previous post is what I want to learn about. I feel I have a tendency to get ahead of where I should be. Your progression makes sense to me. I really appreciate your time. JIM

All this advice is solid and appreciated. I fully agree with the mock trading learning curve, I know I have to get my mind right about things, but is your advice that your financial situation doesn't come into play. I've seen alot of post where people after the fact attack some poor slob that...

Recently I figured out I had started to work on the middle and end game before I had the beginning of the plan in place. THAT MEANS MONEY! I had enough to open an account and trade several emini S&P futures contracts, but it wasn't really money I could afford to lose. So the question is when do...

Hey Jimmy Can you point in the right direction where the Money Management was discussed. Does it some how improve on what was discussed in Austinp's Backyard? Have a good trading day. JIM

You also have to take into account that most people are investing on auto pilot by legislation. You have to put your retirement money somewhere approved of. Most advisors do the average in month in month out dance. Means demand doesn't really go anywhere anymore. Some players come in and out...

Been watching what you've said for a good bit now. Over the years you have harped on the built on stilts term a lot. For most of this bull market in fact as far as I can see. You've stated before that you hold cash, land, and realestate. But you've been bearish on stocks as long as I've been...

So what was the end result of this trade. You gave your size and price. You gave your Intended profit target of 2 points. What was the risk you were willing too and did take to achieve the 2 point target?

Yikes! Stay away from. They may be cheap, but that's not the only consideration. Platform was crappy, connection was crappy, and service was crappy. Once you figure this out and want to run far far away they only allow you out with an account closing fee and a :D. Look around a little more and...

Thank you much. I have a feeling based on some recent reading you just deal with your emotions in a constructive manner. Unlike 95% of traders out there. Thanks again. JIM

Buy1Sell2, Do I have it correct that you try to remove emotions of the market as well as your own by relying indicators only to define trend and recieve signals? Do you allow any sentiment based analysis to enter into the decision or do you try to stay away from that. Just interested in your...

WOW! Good luck on the GMAT. Don't eat the warm gummy bears.

I don't know if the thread is still on topic from the original post or not but I had to insert a GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR BUTTT! There. That feels better. No, and I mean NOOOOO corporation ever pays taxes. It's a great rallying cry for libs to get people to vote for them but they know the only...

I really hope that's true. Hate to put anyone else on the ignore list. Got to say this discussion is Stupid (tried to come up with a more extravagant word there but stupid sums it up pretty well). Apex gives some zones he is looking at. Most times they are important in some way. If anyone uses...

Thank you much! Won't take up any more posts. JIM

Umm m.. Could you provide specifics? Was asking how? Not just registering annoyance. Any help would be most appreciated.:D Thanks, JIM

Is there a way to put people on ingore. Would like to remove some commentary while retaining others. :D Thanks. JIM

Hello B1S2 Maybe stupid question, but haven't done anything with options yet. Would these be options on the futures contracts, so that the value of the option is the same as the value of the contract you bought? Thanks. JIM

Dats cool, I don't think it's being negative to be suspicious when some one is telling you your dead wrong and he is right, posts an example of what he says is right and then starts posting entries that have nothing to do with the stuff he just endorsed. That little ditty he posted doesn't...
