Right. Why should he? He wouldn't if he didn't see purpose. Sheesh =) All I am saying is that trading alone provides no contribution to society. That's all I am saying.

What? =) This has nothing to do with what I said.

Right, nothing wrong with it. Just most traders contribute nothing to society. That's all I was saying.

I knew this would come up. To the former question- no. Honestly think about it... just small peas, nothing big. What difference does it make anyhow, people are going to get their orders filled with or without us. Rationalizing this question is just an attempt to further justify our...

Right, I agree - providing for our loved ones is HUGE. There is nothing more important than your loved ones. But what I am saying is contribution is also important, no as, but it is. Just think.. you're in retirement looking back on your life - you're going to ask yourself "What did I...

Well, only time will tell. Where do I think the market is headed? I have no idea.

When RS stated - "We provide no goods, and no services" meaning we contribute nothing to society. (Please correct me if I am wrong, RS) And the truth is... we don't. Which is pretty a pretty disgusting fact if you think about it. But it's true and if you don't see it - open your eyes...

Cable in theory is faster... but it can go slow if too many people in your neighborhood are logged all at once. Speed depends on how many are logged in at once. It sends and receives information quickly. DSL speed depends on how far you are from your provider. DSL just receives...

DPSUTTS, Right. Say I bought 1000 shares of IBM, these shares would have to be bought from someone wishing to sell 1000 shares of IBM. (Or I could pick up 100 here and 900 there form two different sellers) Either way it's a business transaction (trade). If there I am buying 1000 shares...

Remember Mark Douglas? His theory was that top traders are successful because of the way they think, not what analysis they use, etc. For one it is difficult to "teach" a certain mind set, and second they might not be aware that their success was due to a change in thinking.

This is a nice point, inandlong. Something worth keeping an eye out for. So, TS6 doesn't color code T&S. Weird. Maybe you can play with the settings.

I don't know, maybe I just had too many terrible experiences with my old computer.

This is very true. You're degree is worth substantially less here, speaking relative to your other career options, and you really will have to start from zero. You'll figure things out though. Good luck.

Understand everything GG said, it's all true.

It all starts with investor confidence. We all know how important consumer confidence is the the economy, right? Well, same idea here. I think if you read some articles you'll get a much better objective view.

Sheesh, everyone and either brother plays video games. I thought they were just for the kiddies. Once I had a thirty year old guy ask me if I played games... I had to take a step back.

What GG said... you get the idea anyway. First thing is to understand what you're getting into. Honestly, do you?

Okay, my plan for trading the open is slowly becoming clear. From what I have gathered through thought, research, and talking to others, this is what I have come up with so far- 1. A lot of people like to fade the openings, (sell a gap up in a down market, buy a gap down in a up market)...
