    OK, heres my set-up: * First and foremost, my TWS is always on with both NQ and ES quotes. So when ever I glance at my screen during the day or night, I see the market. * During regular market hours, I pull up a quotes blotter of the top 10 NAS 100 (credit to some other member <savage?>...

    Default limit. Far be it for me to give any advice since I'm a newbie also, but I feel persistence is paramount in any endeavor. Trading included. Good luck.

    ddefina-- Thanks and I'll keep what you've said in mind. Seems everytime I start tweaking something, I get nailed. If it aint broke... I have to say that IB has been working flawless. Fills are lightning fast and with price improvement a good 1/4 of the time for me. Whatever they did, it's...

    Whew, what a day. Right off the bat this morning I was down over 12 points. I tried to open my stops up and got torched. Lost 8.5 on a single trade alone and was right on my kill switch for the rest of the day. I didn't wanna go out like that so I went back to scalping and SLOWLY crawled my way...

    I hope Fish has a better series against Jason Kidd. It hurt my feelings the way he was treated by Bibby. DAAYYMMNNN, Bibby can play some ball. But Kobe is better... way.

    A plethora of technical problems forced me to trade in the afternoon only. I hate it when that happens. Been trading without charts for 3 days now, which is OK for me 'cause I mainly look at price anyway. What I do use charts for is mostly reference and obvious technical patterns (double...

    Just got back from the other side of the island since friday, so sorry if I didn't respond sooner. As far as my style of trading goes, I would much rather open up my stops and go for a few more points, but I'm hesitant to do this because of my acct. size at this time. My number one priority...

    Made a concentrated effort not to overtrade today. Commissions can really start to add up in a low-funded account. I must be prepared to turn on a dime when the market does or else eat s**t. I was in scalp mode all day even when she started trending in the afternoon. Once again I had some pretty...

    Thanks guys for the encouragement. Lundy-- I live in town by the Ala Wai. Got a nice view. Anyway, I lost quite a bit of money when the Naz took a crap. EXTR just about wiped me out as I got in at just about the top with my brand new Datek acct. Buy and hold has a time. That wasn't it. I was...

    NetProfit-- My time zone requires me to wake very early in the morning (3:30 am). I woke up late the first couple days. And I was definitely chasing today.

    I will post all trades. The good, the bad, and the ugly. Maybe a little commentary with it. As far as the first 5 days, I think a lot of it was beginners luck. I'm only thankful to start off positive. That really helped (maybe). Today, unfortunately, I couldn't get any kind of rhythm...
