    Acronis Trueimage can't help...any other idea?

    You could possibly change the security setting for the folder and make you the owner instead; after the change you might be in effect remove the folder or able to read the file.

    T/A won't make sense to me until I understand this:

    One way to define a pattern is to look at the historical chart to find the similar displays of the same stock and the periods (time frame) it was in; it's the human nature that behaves in similar ways in response to certain market conditions therefore patterns exist. You will also need to find...

    Why do 98% of traders fail???

    Part of the reasons traders failed also because they haven't found a niche that can offer consistent profits; your ability to find that edge is important IMO.

    Technicians v. Fundamentalists

    Fundies are good for position trades and TA's are good at reading market conditions. Learn both then you'd have a complete set of tool as a trader.

    Obama vows crackdown on energy speculators

    Obama knows nothing about the market; back then he didn’t even know the economy was in trouble or why the white working population didn’t vote for him, and I’m not sure if he knows it by now either. With his big mouth proclaiming to know everything and a fix it all kind of guy he’s...

    Forex Session

    It's a bummer to trade during Euro market hours, although trading longer time frame is possible but it's a hit or missed opportunity sometimes; I hope the market gets a little more active like it did last year when it was nonstop action of trading. sg20

    I pray Obama replaces Bernake ASAP

    This country is corrupted, everyone tries to get into politics to get some extra money; whether supporting Clinton, Obama, or MacCaine, they tried to side with a potential candidate who can enhance their positions. Obama is probably the least corrupted but as soon as he has the taste of the...

    Fxcm

    Besides CME any ECN broker such as EFX is fine, I haven't had any problem at all; fast execution, no slippage, nice and convenient dash boards, just good platform all around. sg20

    Installed a vid card driver, created a mess

    Plug another working graphic card in the slot then go to Device Manager and uninstall all Display Drivers. Turn off the computer. Plug in the old card and allow windows to do a new hardware installation using windows driver or find another old driver using searches. If that doesn't...

    First Day Drawdown

    I think you're trading too much size, losing 10% in one trade will wipe you out in a hurry. Your stop losses pretty much depends on your trading style; if the market or stock goes against you, you should get out immediately and wait for a chance at the bat once again when the time is right...

    My Chick Goslin "Intelligent Futures Trading" Journal

    There's a discussion thread regarding CG methods at the trade2win boards, as far as I can see there is no difference between Chick's and any other MA techniques (they are all lagging in general). I don't doubt it's effectiveness but just the same. sg20

    I "feel" i want to be a trader... The self delusion.

    "Plan your trade and trade with the plan"; you have to trade with one to know one. The plan is to simply put you in a right frame of mind to trade giving the right signal for entries and exits. If you stick with what you know and prepared for you are less likely to make mistakes such as over...

    Help Please

    Unplug the computer, remove CMOS battery for five minutes and then reinstall windows. The BIOS was either corrupted or you are using two hard drives, with the wrong jumper, which caused confusion during boot; temporarily remove the secondary drive if you have two. sg20

    Your thoughts on an artical I just read

    Lat week Don Bright predicted that "the market has about one to two days" before going down. Definitely he was talking about TA, so what does that tells you. There are two ways to predict the market, TA and FA; tapes won't tell you dito. sg20

    OK, I Quit. Trading is Too Tough for Me

    Keep in mind that day trading S&P is not for everyone. If you like a slower market you might want to try swing trade instead; it's less stressful, less screen time, plus having a more active and meaningful life, much better than staring at the computer day after day... There are many markets to...

    OK, I Quit. Trading is Too Tough for Me

    I don't think the OP found his niche yet, you may want to test demo as many strategies as you can using strict discipline (avoid your own weaknesses) for each trade; the plan is to find one that works and stick with it, one only. The successful strategy may not be the one that can get you in...
