Isn't the whole point of a forum to share? Guys like you make this board ridiculous.

From what I know, Ninjatrader does not allow formulated spread charts like euro-bobl, ted spreads etc. For currencies though, to see EURUSD - GBPUSD, just look at EURGBP.

Moving from DT to ST is your prerogative, but I think you're making the right choice. Go back and re-read Reminiscences of a Stock Operator and you'll observe that he too, made this move. DT and ST has both its good and bad, but think about it, if you can make the same amount of money with...

Thanks to all for their replies, I've found them very useful. Anyway, like I mentioned in my posts above, I've stopped trading stocks and went back to focus mainly on futures. I feel much better now as I've spent the past 1-2 weeks reflecting on my path and what I did wrong. I'm back with...

Thanks for the advice Ghost, it is very much appreciated. I'll definitely look into your suggestions. I'm steering clear of stocks because obviously I don't know much about them. As for my personal risk management for futures, I live by 2 rules, 1 is to always risk less than 3% of my equity...

GBP looks poised to rise, very poised. Trend up, ML up and SL pointing up. Also initiated positions in long TF and CL.

Thanks Rew, that clears it up! Yes, I have a 250k position in Priceline. It was a mistake. I did some stupid stuff after my losses. Which was why I mentioned I would be going back to focus mostly on futures.

Yes I did think of that, but they don't add up.

Ok screw my question. I don't need to know what that column stands for.

I did not have the P/L column before. Obly after I re-installed the platform. Why would I need that when I have my unrealized, realized and NLV? I'm good enough with those 3.

? What in god's name are you talking about? I've already posted screenshots of my IB workstation. Yes I get that, but if you look at my screenshot, you'll see 3 columns. P&L, Unrealized P&L and Realized P&L. I'm asking about that.

Rightly spoken, and exactly what I intend to do. These are my current positions. Currently, I'm looking forward to seeing how GBP and CAD turns out. Chart-wise, GBP looks poised for an upward surge and CAD for a continuation in trend. Btw, Can anyone enlighten me on what the P/L column...

"Here was an individual who would have made a really great long-term trader. He had the funds to absorb short-term moves against him and the psychological patience [stubbornness?) and toughness to hold on to trades for a long time" - Chick Goslin, Trading day by day Just a reminder to myself.

What a crappy 2 weeks it has been for me. From a trading perspective, I'm down 25%. A draw-down of that magnitude is normally fine for me, I've been through worst, however, in monetary terms, it's quite big for me. As a pretty young guy, a loss of 100k USD in 2 weeks is huge. I know I...

I'm down 15% from my equity high. After months of thinking about increasing my size, I chose to do so, just at the wrong time. Also, I lost most of the money on energy and grain futures, however, I do not think that I'm wrong. The loss was just too much for me to hold through and most...

Took profits on my major positions and holding nonsense ones today. I'll begin proper trading again next week.

Theme of the day: Taking Profits. I've always had a major problem with taking profits. Entering positions, taking losses, I consider myself quite adept at those. But taking profits, that's a whole new thing.

Did not change much of my positions today. I exited my CL positions with a nice profit. Although my charts say it's ok to hold on, I'm a bit worried about OPEC stepping in. Charts of RBOB and HO also seems very nice, leading me to be quite confused. Corn is having a nice run now and...
