Recently started using a MacBook Pro and using IB's Mac version just running in Leopard. I just trade off price action so IB's charts work fine for me. I don't use any indicators. I use an external mouse. Pretty new to Mac so maybe not the guy to ask but it works for me.

I asked a friend of mine who is a professional trader (I am not) about his take on a certain book about the market. His reply was: "I have heard of this book, but I have not read a book on the markets in quite a long time."

Thanks for the thread.

Any reason you would take on that extra risk? Why not just follow the market down with a buy stop?

He's right about that. What's that tell you? If you are patient and pick your spots you can do OK. That's about the only thing a small-lot off-floor trader has going for him. You are going up against some pretty hefty market movers between the funds and folks like ADM, Cargill, etc. If...

Ditto here. When I refered to the DOM I was refering to IB's Book Trader which is free and which posts 5 levels as well. And ditto here on Steve's second paragraph as well.

That's the ticket.

FWIW: "Never, ever, follow conventional wisdom in the market. You have to learn to go counter to the markets. You have to learn how to think for yourself; to be able to see that the emperor has no clothes. Most people can’t do it. Most people want to follow a trend. “The trend is...

I noticed when I traded the ES with IB's paper trader that the market had to trade thru my price in order for my limit order to get filled. But in my actual live account I get filled on the first-come, first served basis with my limit orders. There will still be orders waiting to get filled...

If you read the closing comments for each CBOT grain at the end of the day you will see that every day there is a different excuse for why the market did what it did that day. After it is all said and done grain futures are basically insurance for the big end users. Add to that the commodity...

For the Democrats

My guess is this will go to his head as a "groundswell of support" and he'll pull a Ross Perot and run as an independent. His odds of winning the Republican nomination are slim to none. Even with all this money I think it is too late in the game for him.

I recently got a 24" Acer from Micro Center. After the $100 rebate (and I actually received the rebate) and tax it was $326. That was a couple months ago. Does the job. I think I paid more for my 19" Viewsonic that crapped out after 4 years. The extra res over the 19" is nice. Running at...

Do a search. There was a thread on this topic recently. In that thread there was a link to a PDF file you can download which is Wycoff's book "The Day Trader's Bible." It is from the early 1900's but the principles are the same. Check out Linda Bradford Raschke. It thnk there was a link to...

Check out some of the live trading webinars on the CBOT website. Maybe you will see something there that you like.

No I do not. My recommendation is to find your own system that works for you instead of trading someone else's. You asked the question in your first post. That was a site that I knew of.

That's pretty sick.

Which is why I am seriously considering the move to Linux or Apple
