All traders deal with this to some degree. I find that this is mainly caused by putting too much attention on money rather than the quality of your trades. Once you turn off the P&L screen and stop frequently counting how much you made, you will find that you are more consistent. We get paid for...

Just a word of caution to those considering trading the DAX. I would strongly suggest that you have a proven method of trading and experience with futures before approaching this product. Not only is the DAX expensive to trade (cost per contract), but it also requires a high margin and has a big...

The reason I suggested the press releases is so that you know when earnings or major announcements/calls are due. The rest is just knowing what econ figures are coming and what time. The best thing you can do is make sure you have a good news service if news is a concern.

My humble apologies. I didn't see the not in "you really do not need to buy".

Look up the term "cost of carry" or "futures premium". The later expiration is usually trading at a higher price. If not, then that can be interpreted as a signal for a reversal, etc.

Why would you buy a warranty for 2 yrs when the product is covered for 3? The difference is the convenience and the store hopes that you forget you even got it. :)

I haven't found a good website for Corporate news. Fortunately, you can sign up with the individual companies and you will receive their press releases. Another route is to use Bloomberg for earnings data.

Pretty much the same announcements in addition to earnings on the DAX components such as Siemens, etc. Go to www.dailyfx.com for a calendar of events.

I'm curious if you understand the volatility that the DAX has and what kind of value you will be trading while using 30-50 contracts. That is a lot for the DAX. Depending on how you plan to place your orders, I think you will have to be patient when trying to get filled on 30+ contracts. The DAX...

You are right nononsense. I am aware of PartitionMagic. I'm assuming that Babak doesn't have that and won't need to repartition on the fly.

OK. Your explanation makes sense. This is how I was looking at it as well, but I was taking it back to different dates, noting the levels and then proceeding to the next swing date, noting those levels and so on. I then try to filter out what looks like a benign level based on how it has traded...

You cannot partition a drive that is currently hosting the OS, I don't think. You can go ahead and partition the other drive (SATA) and format it from that screen. You will need to do that to be able to access it or use it.

Bolter, I'm looking at the longer term charts to determine S/R areas in products that you don't cover. I noted that your last VP was from Jan 12 in ES, but I'm not sure I follow the logic behind choosing this date. I am thinking that you would look back as far as you need to to find the start...

Wouldn't both URL's point to the same server?

This is an abrasive on plastics. I wouldn't use it.

What kind of HDD was the original and what kind did you add? I don't see why they wouldn't work together. I would partition the new drive and format it. Install windows and only the programs you need. I would then transfer your files from the old drive to the new. I would then wipe clean the...

Your agreement is un-enforcable as written. If you come up with some system on your own time at home and without the company's resources, then the company cannot own that system. Also, the company cannot prove what part of what you are doing was acquired by you through your employment and what...

As long as you pay last year's tax + 10%, then you will owe the difference between what you paid in tax and the properly calculated tax you owe for greater gains in 2005. So if you paid $40k for 2004, then you should be paying quarterly estimated taxes of $11k for a total of $44k. You will then...

Clear your cache in your browser and try again. Your system is probably pulling the main page from the cache as opposed to downloading it. Good luck.

Not sure what the problem is. I know that when I tested eSignal last year, their data was often incorrect. They often lumped size together on the tape (I use T&S heavily in my trading).
