+1016.40 and done for the day.

+0 net today. no trading as I usually don't trade on the last day of the month. Total for Februray is +9,535. I trade strictly ER2 futures. I started the month trading 5 contracts per day, but increased to 7 per day on 2/5. My start date is 12/1, so today is also the end of Q1 for my fiscal...

hard day today... I'll take the money and call it a day. +794

Thanks guys, informative posts. StockzTrader, how's the new Stratosphere working out? is it very quiet?

it's cheaper, but I've never built a system myself. so I'm reluctant to put together a high end quad core to find out if I'm up to it. :D

yes. however I'm hitting the limits of what my current CPU and memory can do. so I'm trying to see what's out there.

anyone use an Alienware area 51 7500 or other Alienware for trading? http://www.alienware.com/product_detail_pages/Area-51_7500/area-51_overview.aspx?SysCode=PC-AREA51-7500-R4&SubCode=SKU-B Are these things loud? one thing that bugs me is the PC noise on my current dell. however, I also am...

Have you set it up yet? I'd love to see a picture if you did.

1,045.18 820.40 1,036.40 406.40 decent week. in capital preservation mode now through end of Feb.

lol, yes, my wife hates it when I lose money as well. consistency does help the life at home tremendously.

That is a big plus for you in trading. A post somewhere said that doctors and lawyers make terrible traders because they try to outthink and intellectualize a trade. They also hate admitting when they're wrong. Ex-military make great traders because they are disciplined and presumably more...

something else to consider: any methodology and system may scale to 300 million easily if the underlying vehicle (such as futures) is liquid enough. The big question is whether the trader is scalable. if you're trading 3-5 million nominally valued futures, are you going to crap in your pants...

if you work on the west coast, hold your current day job, but trade the markets before work. build up enough capital and establish track record. if you're good and can consistently make money, then eventually you can quit your job and do it full time. if not, you have a steady paycheck to feed...

Great, that's the program I found. I can figure out the programing given time. but is there a way for autoit3 to record mouse movements and clicking? also what is the program/path to get IB TWS to work with autoit3? what is the script for pressing the enter button? Thanks

I use a few trading programs, so it's a pain to start and log on to each one separately. can someone recommend an automation software where it will record which programs I start and what login I type in much like an excel spreadsheet macro recorder? that way I can just click one icon or shortcut...

man, it's so nice to have more monitors. I'm getting more dialed in, and it's nice to have all my regular programs/windows laid out without having to toggle through them. I cranked up the ram from 1 gb to 3gb over the weekend, and it's running much better at the open now. there's still a...

if you want to work for someone, it's similar to applying for any other job - whether they like you or not. to get that first interview, again, it's like applying for any other job, how do you stand out among the 300 other applicants? to run other people's money, it sounds like you looked...
