Man, ya got that right!

Yes, there were PC's....with no standard operating system. CPM and the 8080 chip were just one combination in a field of a thousand O/S-hardware combinations. CPM evolved to Windows. Until Microsoft had Windows 3.1 in 1993 and promised hardware independence, there was no clear direction...

To be fair, the Thorn calls intermediate dips in the ever rising weekly trendline. OK for a pivot down, but that is it. If you buy at the bottom of that dip your good. Classic Reverse Turtle logic from the olden days. Richard Dennis would be proud. He actually had me going back in 12/05...

You mean like when 3/4ths of my account disappeared in 1 hour during the week of 4/14/2000 thanks to the great NAZ swan dive. No thanks. I'm trying to forget that. :D

Having lived with the market for 15 of those years, I say your black lines are a no more than a trend line that defines our over eager bubble back in 2000. You can't condense all the variables that made the S&P during that charts time frame between two black lines. Nor does 1987 have much to...

You guys forget what it was like when IBM stumbled after its 40 year run. There were a million choices of operating systems. It was chaos from a developers perspective. Who sez Microsoft won't have a 40 year run as well. As long as they get Vista working, you whiners don't have a...

Where is the ole Thornbird when you need him? This nothing but up is getting boring:D

If you haven't blown out an account yet, you are a) very lucky, b) too conservative to get anywhere, c) or a newbie.

If you are true to urself. Gambler, Chinese, whatever On some level we have all been there. At least I have. We have a gambler in the family and I don't see that much difference between us.

'cuz they don't get it :D

Why is everybody always so neat? My place is a shambles. Parrot feathers everywhere, charts laying on the floor along with the phone. 1096, what does it really look like ?? Just where is the......... 1) AC dripping condensation down the driwipe board 2) Cigarette butts overflowing an...

Hey, ILM! From one computer geek to another. gkishot is right. 1) Being a computer geek got in my way, 'cuz sucessful trading has little to do with programming a computer. 2) Learn to trade first and then quit. The sink or swim method usually ends in sinking and all your money left behind...

On Friday we gapped up overnight. Then the price dropped so we filled the gap in the morning (kinda) Then made new highs on the close pretty strong to the upside!

and you will continue to lose if you keep talking like that. Calm down,; re-group and try again. Persistence, not whining is the key to success. Try it!

I guess like everything else in the market: the chart pattern is defined by the eye of the reader. I would not touch a short term pattern of classic TA with a 10 foot pole. Even charts with a 1 hour interval can be so much random noise.....to me

My ONLY complaint is how slow Tradestation can be on a weak computer. Its a resource pig. It can bring any average computer to its knees if you open enough workspaces/charts with lots of indicators. There is no warning or reminder. When the market takes off, the CPU pegs the meter, the...

mines working fine

The bird always rises again, like the Phoenix. Fear not!
