My IB chart has had a white background ever since I remember it, I am now using 845.5, but even earlier version had it.

That's actually a pretty good deal. Many vendors would sell you their stuff for much more and you would end up with a loser experience only after trying their stuff out. So you see, this book shortens your learning curve immensely and saves you a lot of money too... :D

Most scalpers can't be followed, so it makes no sense to even try it. Like 30 calls a day in elricardo room. How many can you really take? 2-3 calls a day is all it takes to make money, a guy who makes 30 calls usually have no clue what's going on, so why bother.

Well, then you probably don't need anything else. 2 pts per contract per day is good, most don't do any better and I yet have to see a chatroom that would do better consistently with just a few, 2-3 trades.

Another guru, what do you expect? I once visited his room. As abusive as others, with results that are as open to interpretation as possible. Avoid...

That would be sweet if true...

Don't you think that the wealth-lab site is a better place to ask these kind of questions?

Tharp's approach is very valid for trending markets or for the entries that aim at exploiting bigger moves. If you are scalping you may not find this approach useful, but if you target bigger moves, say 5-10 pts in ES intraday, this is the correct approach. Obviously you also want to have a...

I would agree. I tend to be happy most of the time, but I post here mostly when I am bored and so then I seek some fun, my favorite kind of fun being at the expense of various gurus. But I don't make fun of newbies. Everyone has to start somewhere... And there are no stupid questions. Only...

Good point, if you run this as a business, don't quit. If you are a gambler, you should not have started it in the first place...

I believe that only an ET poll can decide if she is alive or not... Much dumber things have already been subjected to ET polls, anyway...

Yeah, except that we are not so interested in his HR Block stuff that he keeps talking about all the time here... :D

Dammit, I was not accused of anything after asking my first question... That feels really bad...:D :D

Two losing traders are closer to a cluster losing trader than anything else...:D

The ES market is being so constipated that it surely must be because of chatroom gurus waging this tug of war with their 400 contracts in 30 trades a day. Forget hedge funds... Oops, I am sorry, I forgot that simulated trades have no impact on the real market...

Absolutely, I always question it though because I know that more often than not the chatroom is the main business, so unless you show me that you actually make money trading, you are just an imposter. It works so often that the very rare exceptions only prove it...

That's not the point. The point is that unless you can prove that you actually make money trading, running the chatroom is more likely to be your main source of income and not another stream of revenue. I suspect that's the case in most situations. The subscriber is holding the bag of this...

You only need to see one guru to have seen them all. Their psychopathology varies only a little... Some do wear gloves, but most behave like butchers...

Good point, talking about trades or even calling them is not the same as making money trading, but on this board it can easily pass as such... A sucker is born every day... You either have some proof of making money or you don't... And if you don't, is it so hard to figure out why you are...

Dude, the only facts in this business are those that can be verified. Is your guru posting the brokerage copies of his trades? Anyone can post in a chat room whatever they choose, like trading 400 contracts in one of the rooms. Yeah right... I could not care less what those 70 'experts' of yours...
