Hmm attachment was lost, but here it is...

As for getting cocky, I have had several bouts of that. I can't say that I won't go there again, but I can say I have been there and done that. In an effort to avoid it I try to say un emotional as the proverbial monk about winning trades. Unfortunately I can understand one might have...

Prox, thanks for the reply. This is my NQ adventure. Which I consider the real start of my trading career because that is when I started daytrading in a serious manner. I have some monsterous losses (dollar wise)from the bubble, but thank goodness they are only about 10-15% of my over all...

Umm, Slight blush, I have not really thought of trading anything else because wanted to cut my teeth on one market first and not blow up. LoL I certainly, now at least, can do the usual due dillegence. Thanks for the question. Just to be on the same page you are refering to the CBOT...

Around the turn of the century it was also predicted that the world population would not grow beyond a certain point because there was not enough land to grow enough food. The logic being that if you planted all the land you could not grow enough food. Well there are other variables and of...

You just need another controller card for two reasons 1) usually the motherboard will have a single controller with two IDE channels on it. So you need another physical connection. 2) You don't want to share the channel with other devices for performance reasons. Serial ATA is a nice...

the real question is when. :p

I have been VERY creative in my trading, from creating my own technical methods to creating my own system to trade it. In fact I have found that to be one of the most rewarding aspects. I enjoy getting up every AM. The only thing that I miss is staying up really late and messing around ...

how not to assume that news will impact a stock one way or another.... Check it out....

One probably does not know fear until you have a 7 digit loss. Or perhaps it is more a question of percentages.. IF you lose 90% then you should be fearing :D Cheers

Venting is okay. Just learn from your mistakes. Perhaps if it cost you MORE money that would help to make it stick The previous poster has "issues" obviously...:cool:

Think for yourself that is a better way.

Mentors can show you their road traveled. As an observer you can learn a lot. Just don't assume that their methods will fit your style. This is akin to me giving you my eye glasses and saying, "hey, they work for me great". Self taught allows you to create something you have true...

Last month I posted on the TS forum a couple of bugs. They just called me and are following up by checking for the steps and verifying the fixes in the new builds. Very cool and I am pleased they are working to satisfy customers. Kudos TS

3000 share of MSFT from 1990... That was the standard option package for new developer recruits right out of college as reported by the Seattle Times. I think the split factor is 72x That would be 216000 shares at 25 or so for a cool 5.4 mil. After taxes at 40% would be a clean 3.24...

A feature to add to the list would be the ability to do some performance testing of EL code. Check with the developer team, I would not be suprised if there were an existing tool that allowed one to check performance with simulatated fast flowing "real time "data bursts I.e. if you...
