    closing my trading account today too.

    So you discovered that we are all part of the system and aligned against you. You weren't supposed to find out this soon. Typically, we string people along and let them build up their account to a decent level before we take it all.

    How George Soros knows what he knows

    As a swing trader who trades pullbacks, this is an issue I struggle with daily. There are often times I elect not to enter a trade, only to see the stock rally sharply just after my signals were hit, and I'm not onboard. That is a huge frustration, and over the past few months, while I have...

    Separate trading office

    The one time I considered trading away from home was a few years ago when I was looking into daytrading. I visited a local trading operation here in Atlanta. Momentum. The very next day, Mark Barton walked into the same office I had visited and killed many of the traders. I got the message.

    Unbelievable but true: CFTC declares Technical Analysys as FRAUD :D!!!

    What they are missing is the fact that the market is NOT immediately efficient. Traders and investors move stocks based on their OPINION of value. Price moves on this, and not on some mysterious measure of mathematical equilibrium. And because opinions change rapidly - for many reasons -...

    Is a passion for trading essential for success?

    I don't have a passion for trading...but I do have a passion for freedom and self reliance. And success in trading let's me experience both.

    trader tricks

    You only think it is the red car. In reality, it is the fact that you are looking out the window, and not at your screen. This gives your trade time to move without you cutting it short.

    New Bull

    You are more right than you know. The biggest lessons usually come with the largest losses. The trick is to be around long enough to learn from them.

    Visually Impaired Traders

    Yes and yes. You can use any sound file, and assign it to an event. The "event" can be anything you want. Price change, target, TA indicator level, trading signal, formula, etc.

    Visually Impaired Traders

    It can be one with Investor RT. I have all my major signals and alerts programmed with sounds, as I hate sitting at the computer during the day. I run it through my stereo amp so I can hear it in other areas. If one wanted to, or needed to, any price level, indicator, or signal could reveal...

    How have you done in this latest rally?

    146% gain on invested capital in the past 90 days on 52 trades. P.S. I don't daytrade. Straight stocks long, overnight holds, no margin. Yes, it can be done. With a little luck. And a raging rally doesn't hurt either. :)

    "Jake Bernstein's TradingMind Software For Futures Traders"

    Yep, the same Jake. Check out the investment section of your local bookstore, and you'll see that he's got a title on just about any trading style you can mention. Strange thing is, he's never managed to make any money trading for himself! But he has certainly succeeded in making suckers of...

    Opening strategies

    If by "lately" you mean the past 60 days, we have been in a roaring rally. Don't take this period as any kind of indication of a robust system.
