obv for show, no way you can take all that in at once or remember it all at once unless youre a savant...

Well yes, A good trader could make the sum of everything that I have lost in 6 years back in a month. I honestly have no idea why I can't sit on a trade. That's why I posted here. I want to see what people have done to get around it. I have no trouble entering, which was something I had to get...

I lost 5k and 6k roughly a week apart in Dec 2015. It was clear looking back what I did wrong. I was trading 5-10 lots on RLM back then. No, I don't trade ES. No thank you. I'll stick to Russell or the Midcap SP, they have much better intraday volatility. Why are you guys talking about sizing...

I am an extremely talented trader. Every day that passes, I usually have a position on that would make anywhere from $500-1k on the measly 1 lot I'm trading. I have 7 years of trading experience, and a couple years full time in terms of hours spent. I have had "success" day trading... However...

Good post. AV proggies are mostly trying to catch up with threats, so if you get infection you should probably back up what you need and whipe. I don't run AV typically on anything I have they are just resource hogs! Just practice normal safe computing and you will be fine. Last time I...

Thank u , this is what I have done every time I buy a new pc/ laptop Just throw a SSD in it... the old HDDs were the main thin bottle necking performance! U have to be careful with this though, the sneaky basterds started software/hardware locking some machines. I couldn't easily put windows 7...

I recently bought a refurb laptop for about 800$, normally retail around 1k from dell. Working great. You can also build a solid PC that works for years with 800$ Depends on your trading style tho, my laptop burn up when doing 20 charts. But I'm back down to 5 now. 20 is too much anyway. I'll...

um, pardon me if I missed something, but hasn't most brokers had this feature for a long time? I been trading 7 years off a chart widget

I thought it's 2016

So, can I use the data from my broker to create my program? I'm familiar with programming in languages, but not sure how to grab market data.

All I want to do is analyze a basket of non-correlated commodities using trend lines/channels and support and resistance on several time scales, then send alerts to myself when criteria are met.

I don't figure I'll get too complex. All I really need to do is feed the data source into some database/arrays and do some calculations. Not planning on making fancy UIs or anything.

I want to create a phone app that will send me alerts based on some criteria. I have ibroker (trading phone app though my broker) with data that is updated in real time. Is it possible to create an app that uses data from another phone app to send alerts with any usefulness? I would prefer to...

After seven years of part time trading, I came to the realization that for me trading is a 100% mental game now - because I know TA principles well, if I trade poorly, it was due to some mental error I committed. Dwelling on the past and missed trades is a mental error. If you're going to think...

You guys are funny. You found a magic way to predict price in the future but can't trade it. I've been watching crude for a few months now, if you are schooled in TA, the volatility produced by the report after 930 usually produces several good trades. Who gives a fuck about the actual report...

If you want to live as a day trader for more than 1 month; 1) Trade one contract for 2 years. You can make a few hundred a day every day if you're good and scale up after that. 2) Trade only between 7 and 1200. By noon you're either flat or holding. 3) Have 3 reasons to enter a trade. Try to...

The answer to this depends on skill. I am day trading crude for the past few months with a 5k account and still have all my money. Took seven years to get to that point where I won't lose it all in a week.

I think it was on 60 min short like "inside the black box" / HFT or something like that A firm on there have team of quants doing computer black magic said they have losing days, but no losing weeks.

I'm glad I didn't start with more than 8k when I did, because I would have likely thown away 8m if I had it.
