    Another trading Journal

    Looking at your Excel sheet, under Action, shouldn't that be "S 1433 Limit", not "B 1433 Limit", since you were selling and not buying? Also, didn't you have a 4 point stop? If so, wouldn't the MaxDraw be $160.00, and not $130.00?

    VIX 15.58----More tough times ahead?

    Actually, neither one of you know what you are talking about. 1995, the VIX was under 16 for the ENTIRE YEAR, yet the S&P was up about 32%. In 1996 the VIX was well under 20 for nearly the entire year, yet the S&P was up about 25%. So, your initial insinuation that a low VIX protends a...

    what's it worth?

    How about a little more information? Such as: How many trades on average does it generate per day? What is the ratio of winning trades to losing trades? How much is the average gain and the average loss? What determines the exit point? Is it merely signal generation? Or set...

    Where do you normally daytrade from? Home or Office

    Just a simple poll to see where most active daytraders trade from. I'm expecting the vast majority to trade from home. Myself, I trade from my office. I initially thought about trading from home, but didn't think I would like the daily isolation and lack of personal interaction. For...

    disk boot failure, insert system disk

    Hmm, I'm not sure about that one. Have you tried closing all the browser windows, then re-opening a new browser, then trying the bookmarks? Also, unless you want to save the old pre-loaded bookmarks, you could just take your old bookmarks file from your main computer, and copy them into the...
