I believe you are in Germany, right? Just to make sure we can't bail out, when we log onto our accounts, we'll change the passwords so only I know your password and only you know mine. If we are confident about our paper-trading, then this solution is ideal. Even if we blow up each other's...

I've got the perfect solution. We both know we can make money so this is what we will do. You give me YOUR strategy and I'll trade YOUR account, and I'll give you MY strategy and you trade MY account. I have no emotional issues with losing someone elses money, so we're golden in that...

andy, Cool. :cool: Will you be providing us charts with your entries and exits or timed trades so we can reference them? aphie

rs7, You may be right, but perhaps we also need more intelligence in our intellegence groups? aphie

dottom, I agree with you. However, it has been said that the market is also like a mirror that reflects every personality trait of the trader, which would mean if we are hesitant, greedy, fearful -- all those things come back to us. Well, I will find out first hand shortly what...

They are obviously very upset for some reason -- however, there are ways to express grievances in a civilized manner. I'm not muslim, so I can't enter their frame of mind. However, I have heard a lot of theories ranging from: * Our troops being in Saudia Arabia (to keep the Royalty from...

hardcash, What about the one called "Alice in Wonderland?" It amazes me how many people on this board profess that it can't be done, yet everyone obviously hangs around here for some reason. I'm beginning to suspect that a lot of people here aren't Elite Traders at all, and get very...

taodr, When Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, the United States had no problem putting Japanese Americans into camps. If they set off a dirty nuke somewhere, what sort of extreme measures will they need to take this time -- and when is it right to over-ride the Constitution for the sake of national...

I live in Baltimore, MD and go through Verizon DSL. What do I trace-route to get an idea on how long it takes to get to IB's systems? What is the name / IP address I should check out? I will report my findings. Thanks aphie

Alright, I'm about to go to bed for a few hours so I can catch the morning action -- but here is a screen-shot of the program thus far: I am thinking about programming some form of advanced probability indicator that scans previous market-data and comes up with a probability score of a long...

Qwik, What would be an accurate delay time to program into my simulator? 1.5 seconds? 1? aphie

I am developing a Trading Simulator that uses a datafeed from esignal for ES futures traders. The simulator currently features: * Realistic market feel [few second delay] * Market Orders that buy on ASK and sell on BID * Limit Order Capabilities * Stop-Loss Capabilities * Trailing-Stop...

artguy, LOL!!! :D :D :D :D :D

Pabst, If I get to the point where I have that problem, I will be sure to bring out my best rookies. :D :D :D You are right -- losing a few hundred on a bad trade is one thing -- but losing a few thousand? Ewwww .... or worse, ten's of thousands -- YIKES. Maybe I should stick to a...

Pabst, You're kidding, right? :p aphie

Pabst, I don't get it? :confused: aphie

If we go to war with Iraq, it will be the beginning of a third World Conflict. You cannot attack IRAQ without thoroughly angering the entire arab populace. If Bush goes in there as Commander in Chief and does not consult congress to get a formal declaration of war, that will further complicate...

qwiktrade, From this message forward, I am done giving advice on this board. Don't worry about that. aphie

I came into work and my coworker called and said a plane hit the World Trade Center. Well, since I live in Baltimore, MD, I thought about our "smaller" World Trade Center in the Inner Harbor region -- but then he said it was one of the towers in NY. I tried to log onto CNN but couldn't get...

Huios, :( Sorry about your bad day. I really respect you for sticking to your guns and following your system, though. You are exactly the kind of trader I want to become when I deal with real money -- using the right mental attitudes that you use. What is very frustrating about looking...
