I don't have one, but I believe the 9700 Pro comes with one digital (DVI) and one analog (VGA) out. I don't think you can run two digital right out of the box. I think I recall seeing a jack for an extra DVI adapter off the card, but I've never seen any info on if such an adapter actually...

I know what you mean. I'm not sure what the solution is other than to trade as if every trade was your first for the day. I certainly don't want to force myself to trade just to make a quota, yet I don't want to undertrade for all the reasons that happens as well. I removed the P/L display...

When you're right, you're right. I shouldn't confuse the cause of my continued trading with the effect it had. [B] Agreed. I do think I will increase the number of trades for next week. Haven't picked a number yet though. Three just doesn't seem to be enough to allow lessons to be...

Oh please don't say that! Don't even think it! :eek:

Thanks. I need to remember to refocus on selectivety. I was intending to do more or less as you say, but didn't keep it in mind when entering the second and (even more so) third trade.

Is it that easy? :) I am trying to teach my brain to be such a filter. Part of my goal is to scalp using a minumum (zero?) of TA indicators, just watching how the prices move. Though if I do come across some indicator that will ultimately help, I wouldn't be opposed I suppose. I don't...

6 RT / 1 contract / 0 points 3 wins / 3 losses = 50% Hard stops/targets @ 3 ticks +/- entry price Trades 1. Buy 10:03:07 @ 887.50 for +0.75 2. Buy 10:28:13 @ 882.25 for -0.75 3. Sell 10:30:15 @ 881.00 for -0.75 4. Sell 10:35:01 @ 879.75 for -0.75 5. Buy 10:37:24 @ 882.25 for +0.75 6...

Not that anyone would believe me now, but I guessed it would break to the down side. My rational was the both Tick and Trin were relatively strong most of the day, yet there was no real upward motion. So to break higher, there wasn't as much "room" up as there was down. But what do I know. :)

Hi Bong, With my trades today, it looks like your 1 pt a shot would have worked for me as well. I am going to consider that after I have a few more days of test data under my belt. BTW, I am trading off of pure tick charts. The reason I posted a one minute chart was because eSignal...

You could be right. I picked them as a starting point, since I had to pick something. Part of this process is for me to figure out what stops and targets work for me. I do plan to adjust them as time goes on.

A chart of my three trades is attached. The targets for both trades 1 and 2 were overrun by 2 ticks before moving down to my stop, meaning I would almost certainly have been able to get one of those extra ticks for myself. As for trade 3, argghhh. Direction was fine, just blew the entry...

No more live trading today as per my plan. I will watch the markets and probably paper trade for at least part of the rest of the day. 3 RT / 1 Contract / 0.75 Points 2 winners / 1 loser = 66% Hard stops/targets @ 3 ticks +/- entry price Trades 1. Sell 09:43:54 @ 898.00 for +0.75 2...

I agree and I don't think I have understimated it. Although this is a relatively new journal, I have traded (rather unsucessfully) for awhile now. The plan was written in a way that I believe makes sense given what I have learned about my strengths and weaknesses. Time will tell. Let the...

Thanks Sub. I'm sure you recognize the start of the plan, at least it should be vaguely familiar to you. :) OK, I admit it. I blatantly copied part of your posted trading plan. Uh oh, I think I hear the phone police... Gotta run... I will begin this plan tomorrow and post my results.

I was thinking the same thing. I'm not sure why it isn't allowed, but I wish it were. Or maybe I am missing something too.

Followed the mechanical scalping system for 30 trades throughout the day. No actual trades placed. The system seems to avoid losing money and can make enough to cover commissions, but that is about it. I will make one more tweak to it for Monday. If it doesn't perform better on Monday then...

Today will be just like yesterday. I will not take any real trades, but I will be making as many simulated trades as my new mechanical system generates. I made one tweak to it from yesterday. I had a little epiphany while laying in bed not wanting to get up just yet. At least I'll call it...

Because it appears that tampa might be curious as to todays results... 0 Turns / 0 contracts / 0 points I didn't lose nothin'! Not that I was slacking off mind you. I decided it would be worth while to test my new system in real-time to see how it does and to afford opportunities to fine...

One thing I would like to see is the ability to enter trades manually into the paper trading execution log and have the ability for charts to put some marker on a chart for each buy and sell in the log. The reason to allow manually entering the trades is to make it easy to go back over a day of...
