Ticketwatcher, How tight are your stops? Your posts were extremely helpful. Thanks.

Thanks gnome and Mr. NBBO. Monitors are now working the way I want them to. I knew posting my question here is a lot better than calling their tech support! Thanks again very much.

I just installed a dual video card by nvidia on my spare computer running Windows 98. Both monitors are on but I am unable to drag my cursor to the other screen. Does anyone know what further adjustments I should do to make both monitors/screens work? Any help much appreciated. Thanks. Tito

Brandon, Do you hedge yourself when you hold stocks overnight? Thanks and great job on the video.

livingston, Thanks for your responses. I've found value in them. Aslo, do you ever add on to a losing position and do you use any type of scanner to filter out trades?

livingston, I have a couple of questions about stops and getting fills. Do you have a fixed stop when you enter a position (meaning if a stock goes against you by x amount you automatically get out) or do you try to get a feel for the stock and allow it some breathing room? Also, how do you...

livingston, Where would your stop be if MWD had gone against against you? By how much does a position have to go against you before you decide to get out? Thanks.

Have you concluded from your trading records that sitting through a shakeout (and risking a big loss) came out to be more profitable than taking a small, immediate loss when the trade goes against you? Thanks.

How can one get approved for 15 loans to buy 15 properties? Are mortgage companies more lenient with their requirements if they know the properties you are purchasing are for investments? Just wondering.

With the markets and specialists the way they are now, I'm curious if anyone still makes a living scalping NYSE stocks? By scalping, I am referring to making buy and sell decisions based on the movement of the spoos. Anyone?

Are there any other fees (aside from commissions and SEC charges) that apply when trading listed stocks?

I am planning to increase my trading share size and would like to ask what is the best way to get executed on a 2000 - 3000 share order on the NYSE. Are there any chances of price improvement when trading this lot size? I normally use NX because of its execution speed but have to hit it a...

Did you make a total of 400k for the last 24 mos. or is it 400k a year for the past 2 years?

Thanks to all who have responded. My situation is that it is almost impossible for me to find a worthwhile mentor who would be willing to sit down one-on-one with me and show me his tricks, although I do personally know some consistently profitable traders and have learned some general stuff...

Didn't Echotrade always had that office in Santa Monica? I thought it was run by a guy named Chad Lapides?

To all those on ET who trade for a living, are you a self-taught trader or were you mentored one-on-one by a fellow trader? I guess what I really want to know is if someone can still be a successful trader if he learns the hard way by himself. I know the learning will be a lot longer and more...

I was wondering if there are any traders on ET who was able to make the successful transition from trading stocks to trading the electronic futures (eminis). Do you find trading the eminis to be more profitable compared to stocks? Any input helpful. Thanks.
