    What's the most I can lose?

    Funny but not too helpful unless you define what "all" is. Since futures trading is on margin. Theoritically if NQ went to zero I'd be liable for around $140,000 on a 5 contract position. I was hoping that folks that were trading during one of these "events" would chime in, maybe I...

    ES scalping,is it worth?

    Well said. Although it seems a waste that each of us must labor largely independently to determine what works. I'd like to think we can learn and save time from the collective wisdom here but it can be difficult to know what is information and what is misinformation. And just to be clear...

    What's the most I can lose?

    I trade NQ with stops at all times. Let's say 5 NQ contracts with a max of 5 pt stop. Mentally I'm treating this as a $500 max loss for any single trade however I am aware that there is nothing that would prevent the market from gapping through my stop without my stop loss order being...

    ES scalping,is it worth?

    There is a wide range of possibilities between "no retail trader can consistently make money on ES/NQ" and "every retail trader can make money on ES/NQ". Why so black and white? Is it that hard to imagine that 10% made money over a 2 year period and 90% did not? (just to throw out some make up...

    Loading windows 2000pro after XP

    I agree with pspr - you should have been able to run that software under XP (home or pro) just fine and would have been better off. Anyway thats neither here nor there at this point - To get Win2000 drivers for your dell go to Dell's site (from another PC that is working),support section...

    Loading windows 2000pro after XP

    There are many ways to accomplish what you are asking (without buying a new drive) but first I must ask a question - are you trying to run a "dual-boot" system which prompts you at startup whether you want to run XP or W2K or are you interested in just replacing what you have with W2K? If the...

    strange question:

    Actually RT (index trading room) is what I was referring to in my previous post - but they don't refund your sub, they just give you next the month's sub free if they dont reach their profit objective. As I agree with your "shoot for the fences" concern - the flip side of that is if the room...

    strange question:

    If its like another site I've seen then its not really based on whether or not YOU make a profit but whether or not the calls they make are profitable. Obviously if they make a call and you don't follow it (because you arent in the room or decide not to take the trade) then you can't hold that...

    What to do with a corrupt trader???

    If you feel that the seller has misrepresented the product and will not give you a refund then you may want to consider trying to do a credit card chargeback (assuming you paid by credit card). You will of course have to return the materials back to the seller. I believe you have 60 days but...

    Stupidist decision I ever made.

    I've found many of the posts here very enlightening & sobering about the realities of daytrading as a career but I would like to point out that the crowd that visits and posts here is a not a fair representation of the daytrading world. The fact that you are here reading and posting reflects...

    Didn't Al Gore invent the internet? Why don't you ask him what to do with an "internet complaint" LOL :)
