JPB This is the $800+ loss, once a week, that you were talking about at the start of the thread. It's very clear that you have a problem sticking to your rules (me too). You set a rule of a maximum loss of $200 and to not trade in the afternoon. You broke both those rules today. If you had...

As far as I know, the closest firm to you is Bright in Hingham.

Some of my best trades are in my dreams.:p

This is why starting with low shares and working your way up is a must. Start with 100 shares, yes you will feel nervous, when that nervousness has gone away, and you have the same confidence and results you had when paper trading, move up to the next size and so on. Jumping from paper trading...

Yes, a tool for lighting big fires and making coffee.

I tried the $1000 bill idea recently. It works! It really does help to make coffee.

Anyone else having problems with Nasdaq emini data on Realtick this am?

Perhaps Def can clear this up. I was under the assumption that BEST is the same as BEST ECN but includes SOES. It should fill at the best price either through an ECN or SOES. If there is a MM on the inside then you will get an SOES fill, if not then it will look for an ECN. I use BEST all the...

Tony I've noticed that you only seem to pop into ET when there is a cute girl around. Give me all your trading skills or I'm telling your wife. :D

I'm not quite sure what you mean. I use IB as nothing more than an order entry platform, as if it is part of my RT. I don't care what the quotes say on IB. I set my order where I want to get in, or out, and adjust the prices using hot keys, if need be. All the time I am watching L2 on...

It's been my experience that fills have nothing to do with the quotes IB posts. I always use a limit order outside the spread by looking at Realtick L2. I normally get filled at the best bid/ask (or within a few .01's) no matter what quotes IB shows.

No problems here.

Once the process is ended you can then delete the file. After that however, you will get error messages when you start windows saying "can't locate file ***.exe". This is where I had to go into the registry and delete everything with the infected files name. It's probably best if you got someone...

The reason the file cannot be deleted is that it is running in the background. You need to find what processes (programs) are currently running then stop the process in question. You should then be able to delete the file. I use WIN NT and can't remember how to stop background programs on...

Thanks KenDTU and everyone else who helped and gave advice in this thread and my Virus Problem thread. I finally got everything fixed and all my infected files deleted. This is the kind of support that makes this a great place. One more question though. Does anyone know of a friend of a...

I think it's well known by now that this has a virus attached. I got McAfee because my Norton didn't pick it up, and just ran a scan. I'd already got rid of all the files that had been listed in this and the other thread but still got this from McAfee: File: C:\Temp\ebooknt.exe Virus...

I don't print my journal or charts at all. Everything do is on my PC. Now if only I could get it to make my dinner and open a bottle of wine I'd be one happy camper. PS It helps if you have 2 monitors as you can be reading your journal on 1 monitor while popping up the hyperlinked chart on...

I keep my journal in Word. When opening a trade: Time Stock Buy/Short. Price Reason for entry. Stop When closing a trade: Time Stock Sell/Cover. Price Reason for exit. P/L after commissions. I then save a bitmap of the chart for each trade and make notes on it. This is saved in...

Yes, it is tedious today. NDX has had a whopping 17 point range so far. Oops, I've got to go, market just "popped hard" 3 points.
