Lol. Actually I'm not, but it is my office, my wife is out working and the cat is sleeping, so I don't give a damn.

Your theory is seriously flawed. I have averaged almost exactly 1 trade per week and cannot, under any circumstances, be considered "well adjusted".:D I'm sitting in a small dark office on a beautiful New England holiday, anxious for the markets to open on Tuesday, and reading every post...

I'm going to bed early, so that when I wake up, it will be.........TUESDAY.

Nice improvement in the latest release, being able to have different default share sizes for different stocks.

The only firm I know of here in the Boston area is Bright. They have an office in Hingham. The manager is Fraser Cameron, 781-749-0727. I am not affiliated with Bright in any way. Just happened to have the business card handy from last years online expo.

You'll get an email even after you post a message. There were 2 messages from you in between Commisso's, so that accounts for 2. The other one could be a cancelled message. You can cancel/delete a response (your own, not others unfortunately) within 15 minutes of posting it. PS.Thanks for...

Easy, I CACHINNGGEEDD to the tune of -$15. Up $16 for the week. Looking for a big day today so that I can buy my wife some cheap perfume and a bag of M&M's.(family size).:p

For a home trader, the motivation has to be the commute time.:cool:

"And I am therefore repeating mistakes in daytrading stock futures I first made back in 1998." Funster What did you do before when you were making these mistakes? I am having the same problem right now (with stocks, not emini's) and just see my inability to hang on to a profitable...

One reason that I think patterns are failing is that the expectation of profit has decreased therefor forcing more traders to sell earlier into the breakout. A few years ago traders would be expecting a .50 clip on an AMAT breakout. However, some traders decided that they would ensure that they...

Magna Protrader like his alter ego, Traderx uses the "Trading in Retrospect" system. I tried it also and lo and behold, it works. In retrospect I made over $3 on NVDA. I'm wondering whether I should use my gains to buy a Merc or a BMW. Of course, in retrospect, I'll pick the correct car.:)

You do get these situations occurring occasionally. The problem is, you can't go looking for them as you will never find them. They just suddenly appear in the L2 you just happen to have open at that specific time. And like a flash, they're gone....

Arky Could you please provide the URL for Level5. Also, what ex trader from Jay's room started it? I was a member of Jay's room for about six months. During that time I learned a lot and have no regrets about paying, what I consider, a small fee compared to what I would pay for a weekend...

If I wasn't able to watch a trade second by second (normally during bathroom breaks), I would set a stop limit order with some wiggle room between the activation price and the limit price. The wiggle room would depend on the stock I was trading. For example, if trading SUNW .05 wiggle room would...

I have to agree with P2. The market is what it is. You have to adapt to the market. Don't expect the market to adapt to you.

No matter how strong a pattern looks, it will ultimately fail more often than not if it is counter to the overall market/sector trend. You may get a slight movement in the correct direction but this will normally reverse, or at best, consolidate, if you are going against the market/sector trend...

Hitman What was your reason for buying AMD? Is that your default stock for any news related market spikes?

Magna Sallyboy is correct, with Realtick $INX works for S&P 500 cash, as well as $spx.x. Not sure about other vendors though.

Why don't you continue. From what I could see Protrader was the only person who was being an a$$. Everyone else was just giving friendly advice. If you didn't know already, Protrader is one of the many aliases of an a$$$$$e originally called Traderx. Most people just ignore him when he appears...
