Hi All, Not a good day...

Hi All, Today was a good day. Have a great weekend everyone! Peabo

Hi All, Like all of you, I was affected for the better part of today. I had a sell order go Live (around 10:15 CST), but never was executed (the start of the crash). Web site down, phones don't answer etc. After three hours I got through to the trading desk. I sold the stock then, but...

Hi All, Another down day! Peabo

Hi All, Not a good day today. At least you all know I don't post fake numbers! Peabo

Hi All, Not a great day... Peabo

Hi All, Quit early today. After yesterday's beating, I may quit early from now on! Peabo

Hi All, This is my first post to the Trader P/L 2006 thread. Today was a bad day for me... I think I have almost all of my bad habits fixed (except one - giving profits back). I should have quit by 11 am CST, I would have been ahead... Peabo

Great Post TrendSailor!! I was reading through this thread, and your post sure hit home with me. I was in the Information Technology area for years, and lost alot of my friends/coworkers to outsourcing (India, China, Russia). The ones that were not laid off (aka 'survivors') were...

Hi All, Instruments: Equities Assets: 100% personal funds Structure: Retail Account Preferred brokers: MB Trading Location: Birmingham, Alabama Peabo

Hi All, I have been a paying customer (after using their free trial) since August. I also have been using their software every trading day since then, and it has paid for itself many times over. I only buy and sell equities, so I can't comment on options/futures/forex. In...

Oops, Forgot my manners. I usually choose from among TopGunSoftware's stock picks each day (specifically those trading above their VWAP). But in particular, I have made a alot of money in the following stocks in the past eight trading sessions: 1. BOBJ 2. BIDU 3. ICE 4. NEM 5...

Hi All, For long term investing, I am 100% in Elan (ELN). Peabo

Hello JackPearson, I am an MB Trading client. I also noticed that my PnL doesn't show commission costs or ECN fees. I am on Plan A, which means: 100 shares = $1.00 500 shares = $5.00 1,000 shares = $7.50 etc. I usually buy 1,000 share lots (equities) so a round trip for me is...

Hello, The advice Jaronimo gives is exactly what changed my trading from losing to winning. I'll spare you the long version: Before I never used any type of stops. I would put on the trade and decide later when to sell (or cover). This was stupid (for me)! I would let my losses go...

Hello, The demo from TopGunSoftware proved that it is the stock screener I have dreamed about, so I now a paying customer. The DTN.IQ datafeed has been trouble free also, along with my broker MB Trading. I am very happy with this combination! Peabo

Hello, I used to use SortWizard (awesome product), but it requires a RealTick datafeed. I found TopGunSoftware.com has an excellent scanner that will do what you are seeking, plus a ton of other stuff. It requires a datafeed from eSignal or DTN.IQ Peabo

Hello, I recently downloaded the trail version of IQfeed (from DTN.IQ) and of the TopGun software (stock scanner). Once both were installed, I experienced alot of problems with using the TopGun software (TopGun wouldn't load at first, then charts wouldn't display, then the filter feature...

Hi All, I am currently evaluating the TopGun scanner software, and really like it. It requires a datafeed from either eSignal or DTN.IQ. In searching for info on these datafeeds, I had severe difficulty navigating the eSignal webpage to determine where the datafeed info was (there are...

Hello dandxg, In defense of TopGun and DTN.IQ, my situation is not unlike trying to install an application in Windows. It is expected to work on an unknown level of a Windows OS, on an unknown hardware configuration, play well along side other applications, etc, etc. I am not giving up...
