    (How To) Hire A Programmer?What Precautions?

    I am software developer / consultant and have been for more years than I care to admit and for a 1/4 mil you can find someone to not only write your ATS but to also do odd jobs around your home. But seriously, depending on the complexity of your strategy, the coding could take any where from...

    Interesting thread and enjoyable reading. Frogman (alias Porgie, TradeQuicker), I see you have changed your typing style to avoid detection. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=47536&perpage=6&pagenumber=168

    Velocity Futures or GlobalFutures

    I am considering moving my trading account. I would like to put the minimum required funds in the new account to trade with and see if I am satisfied before pulling the plug and making the move. Does anybody know the minimum / maintenance requirements of each?

    "Scaling out" is inferior behavior

    Although there are exceptions to every rule, I generally agree with B1S2. Van Tharp (Trade your way to financial freedom) discusses the pitfalls of scaling out also.

    Is this a new book in the Dick, Jane, and Spot series? "See Spot Trade" perhaps?

    porgie ... your typing gives you away ..... you know what i mean .... Instead of going from thread to thread critiquing every trading method and bragging about how great you and your systems are (which you quickly backdown when asked for even a hint of proof) why don't you try and be a...

    It is IMPOSSIBLE to make money in the markets

    I obviously don't get it. I have been using support and resistance as one of the tools in the toolbox to trade the minis for several years now and profit from it. But since several traders on this and other forums have officially said it doesn't work I guess I better stop. :) What makes...

    Automated System Development for Non-Programmers.

    Just my two cents ... I have been a software developer for the last twenty five years. I use several systems I have written in .Net, VB6, Javascript (esignal), etc. Relative to other real time applications I have been involved in over my career, the processing requirements to execute...

    israeli ground invasion this weekend, signal of bottom for the market?

    I like most of you would hate to see the middle east crisis escalate even further. On the other hand, I think a huge fight is coming, what some may say will be WWIII. If that is the case, I would rather have that fight now before the wackos are at their strongest. Of course there is never...

    Can eSignal do the job of tradestation?

    esignals programming language is very similar to javascript. If you are comfortable with that you will have no problem creating your own indicators or modifying the pre-existing indicators.

    The Evolution of a Trader

    Sounds like my story is similar to a few others here. I have been in the IT field for over 20 years, the last 15 or so as a consultant. The pay is very good and I thank God for that. But as others have stated, I am getting burnt out. Especially as each consultanting gig pushes me more...

    Favorite indicators for trading the S&P500 E-minis?

    steve46, In sticking with the theme, you would not actually levitate. You would figure out how to levitate ... your brother would actually do the levitating.

    Favorite indicators for trading the S&P500 E-minis?

    lidlucking, I know I came off as harsh but here is why. I enjoy reading ET in the evenings after a day of trading and just unwinding. It seems that whatever thread I go to there is Porgie spouting his system. The funny part is a few threads down the road he is asking someone for help...

    ES Journal Archive (2006 - 2008)

    I personally do not use trailing stops ever. Over the years I have found they cost me money. Maybe I wasn't using them as well as others but that is what works for me. I am sure my style is similar to other traders. I gauge market internals to determine which way, long or short I am...
