Do you tend to have a long or short bias before you start trading? Not for individual trade but do you think like "it's gonna be an up day, I'd better stick to long trades or it all can get sour"?

What is "track record" of a chat room? It's not like it has its own profit and loss... I agree ES Journal has some very good posts.

Because the monetary value in many cases is difficult to determine. Most cases are very different from unpaid loan where the monetary value is usually clearly spelled out. Because of highly uncertain claim value the usual practice is to claim well above the reasonably expected payout. As the...

TWS charts are adequate for someone who trades occasionally. They are also a suitable back-up in case the 3rd party software or data fail (especially while you are in a short-term trade). Personally, I like the bars width auto-adjustment. This is the part I miss in the charting software I use.

Cool things require an air of exclusivity. Anything that becomes mainstream is not that cool any more.

Many laptops allow running an external monitor (via VGA/DVI port) and the internal screen at the same time. Can both the internal screen and built-in VGA/DVI connection be used when a USB graphics card is attached?

I find it the toughest to take profit early :)

I have noticed there is a gap between the top 2 and bottom 2 monitors. Is it your preference or is the stand not flexible enough to position monitors closer to each other?

That's a good one! Sadly, this acronym will not make it into serious research puiblications any time soon. The country is officially called the United Kingdom, sometimes it's unoficially referred to as Great Britain. Calling the whole thing England would be like rubbing salt into wounds of...

One thing that may be worth considering is 2 vertical 2-monitor stands instead of a single 4-monitor ones. If you opt for desk fitting and not free standing base, these will be easier on the desk.

Are you happy with 11.66 you received for 450 shares? If not you can track down the order to the exchange. If you are unhappy about the missed opportunity because the broker could not provide the size, you can only search for another broker.

Thanks! You sound like you read to much (or just enough?) Mark Douglas. That's a very deep idea. I need to contemplate... To think about this, maybe some of my most disappointing trades are a result of me not planning suffuciently far ahead....

Thanks for clarification! As you can conclude from my other posts, currently I only use the free (without real trading) edition of NinjaTrader. I'll get a newer version and see if synchronisation has been sorted out.

So, is having a rationale behind every trade redundant?

How did the meeting up go? What was the turn-out?

I agree! You are not going to keep a healthy business relationship with anyone who conned you, are you? The only reason I can imagine to keep the name of the firm private is if they pay you a substantial sum to keep quiet on top of returning all of your money.

All of it takes time to find for a new user. It's not like you can open the first trade in 5 minutes after starting the platform. To start with, you need to figure out (maybe read the manual) regarding how to connect to the datafeed and the broker. Now, in the ideal world you'd hope the...

Your sarcasm is misplaced. It's like saying: "I own a baseball bat and I can't care less who the Mets buy their bats from."

I will... because I have been using a 1920x1200 monitor for years. But then for the price of a 1920x1200 monitor you can get two 1920x1080 monitors, which are as good for office purposes (who cares about perfect colour reproduction or deep black if you read black text on white background all...
