A lot of people feel that Cotton, Lumber and Copper lead the market. They're all at historical lows. One of the reasons I don't trust this rally.

Neil A very level headed approach. Hang in there.:)

Doogie, What I'm doing works quite well. Why would I change it?

If I was forty years younger I'd be there with you and kick Mrs. F's butt, financially speaking, of course.:D

Heres my strategy. If I think the market is going up, I go long. If I think the market is going down, I short. If I'm wrong I get out fast. If I'm right, I ride it as long as possible.I always enter on a rally or a pullback. I'm not being a smart a$$. That's actually it.

I know we are just playing with words here but I have been a gambler most of my life and resent the negative bias the label always gets. The dictionary simply says "to bet money on a game, contest or other event." In fact one definition in The Concise Heritage dictionary is "to speculate."...

Darn you guys. I went for the popcorn and cokes and he got knocked out while I was gone.

I wish somebody had been able to convince me how hard it is to make it when I started out. I would have prepared myself much better and saved several thousand dollars in the process. I didnt listen and you probably wont either. Good luck. :D

Man this thread is better than a movie. Like watching a heavyweight fight.

I drive my car pretty good. I havent ever been in a race before but I'm thinking about entering the Daytona 500. What do you think of my chances?

AAA its been a little while since I used RT and the gap feature but if i remember right you just open a quote window and in the root area of the options window you type $Gapup or $Gapdn. I got realtick from Townsend rather than a broker. I know with some brokers you dont get all the features.:(

I think the definition of gambling is: placing a wager on an uncertain outcome. I think trading is gambling. The trick is to be a good gambler. Just an opinion.:)

Every time I think there can't possibly be another trading maxim that I have not heard before I stumble across one. I've stated before that I learned more from a few comments by LBR than a lot of the books I've read. It's mindblowing to me , the amount of power that a simple sentence can...

Didn't mean to be abrupt. I am assuming he doesnt have RT or he would have already checked the manual. If he doesnt have it, its not going to do me any good to tell him how to do it.:D

yes

I will agree that no-limit poker is mostly psychology. Limit poker, however, is pure numbers and is exactly like trading. You have a slight edge over the newer and careless players and the drunks. The house takes its commission. If you are disciplined enough to play the odds you will always come...

Ken Wolff is a great trader but his chat site should have a disclaimer warning that his methods are not suitable for inexperienced traders. I often take multiple small stops searching for the top or bottom. Goes with the territory.

You need to go to Microsoft support and read up on this. Win98 has problems when you exceed 512 mb ram. Sorry I dont have the link handy.

Hitman I think I have offered you advice a couple of times in the past. I would like to withdraw my comments. You certainly don't need them. You are like an onion. Many layers. I suspect you will become a great trader if the market doesnt die on us.:)

I would suggest trading the Q's first. There is much less risk. They move in sync with NQ. If you can't make money trading the Q's I do not like your chances with the mini's. I don't know your situation but I think it is a big mistake to trade mini's because your under the $25k rule. If your...
