So, did the first trade win or lose? :)

Things have been going well and I see more people are reading the blog. I will be simutrading for awhile.

Can you be more specific? Where did you hear that? When? From who? Were they winning traders before trading for Keystone? Are they trading what Keystone teaches? The hardest thing to get is a real mentor or find anyone locally who is a real full time trader. Any program would...

Thanks for the fully informational, non judgmental post. I try and find helpful information, but this forum seems to continually have negative, seemingly unfounded posts on any topic dealing with training. There were a few actual traders and or people who had the information needed that posted...

Let me clarify and wrap up this tangent. Does my system work on the ES, YM, ESTX50, NQ stocks etc. Sure it does. Each of those has its own personality. I have put more time into watching the ES, I am not ruling the others out forever. The ESTX50 is the only alternative that I can...

Unsure on the DAX. I thought I read that the margins/risk are much higher - it may be out of my league.

I am not trading live because I dont see any harm in simutrading a new system for quite a while. Every minute doing so just build confidence and points out potential shortfalls. I have traded live before...plenty. I do not expect the fact that its real money will mean to me what it means to a...

Ah ok - its a little bit of everything. It gives signals with trend and against trend. Some signals are clear as bell, others are a bit loose. It catches a lot of top and bottoms. That was what drew my attention to it originally. I have never seen anything that did that so well, sometimes...

No, I will not be posting my own systems indicators for the whole world to see. I do post one trade a day that was a valid signal. I post net results of actual simutrading good or bad. I like to post the odd of more "exciting" signals. The only reason to follow along is to see how things...

I guess we can all debate gambling vs. calculated risk forever. I do not find playing cards, buying lottery tickets or slot machines enjoyable. I do not see a profitable edge there either. When I see patterns in indicators signaling profitable trades for months on end... and when they are...

The blog was not meant to be a "boasting" blog at all. The "holy grail" title was supposed to be sarcastic or tongue in cheek. I use the blog to track the success or failure so I have a record. If I am excited over something that works very well I apologize. Trading is a misunderstood...

I started my own blog journal called "quest for the holy grail". It is located at: http://eminiholygrail.blogspot.com I thought pros and casual traders might find it interesting. Please add yourself as a follower. I am not revealing anything or selling a system. It is simply about my...

As tradergirl said I believe Ensign has the feature and a few others do as well.

I use Camtasia, but I am rarely trading live at the moment so I cannot comment on the resource usage. I run a decent machine though. Vista Quadcore 2.5g homebuilt with 2 gig ram 512 mb videocard so I dont see any issues normally at 1600x1200. To reduce file sizes you can... Use the...

What a perfect plan for anyone starting out. What perfect and "safe" advice to follow. This post should be framed.

Well said - percentages can be brought to a much higher level with the fortitude to wait for signals near the levels of S&R.

I am sorry if I missed this earlier - but it looks like your using Quotetracker right? I happen to like QT either way.

I agree that S&R levels are ultra important "usually" and for larger moves. I disagree that indicators are useless. There are ways to use them for very reliable entries for larger moves or entries for quick in and out trades. Reliable in the 75%-90% range daily. It all depends how you...

I am thinking long term and in a positive manner. That being said, does it pay to structure your trading as a business from day one? "When" things goes well, I do not want to have to say, "I blew it my taxes are eating me alive" I would be trading from home, supplementing day job income...
