My power goes out quite often. We have a big storm moving through today and it has gone out once already. It usually lasts a couple minutes. Unfortunately I have not figured out how to make my internet connection seamless. I have ATT/DSL and comcast cable, and both go out when the hurricanes...

That's how I did it. Computers are on battery/surge banks. If the power is out for more than 30seconds, my 45kw quietsource generator fires up. The 500gallon propane tank lasts about a week. I know it's a bit overkill. I could have easily used a 20 or 30kw, but they were 4cylinder engines that...

How about this. If/when SLV stops going down, I might buy some. Simple enough? As far as losing days are concerned, I have them, it's no big deal. Now losing months, thats a different story. Those are rare.

:D

I guess I got lucky with a good broker. I have only dealt with one guy there and I assumed that everyone in the office were good to deal with.

Give AMP futures a call. I have been happy with them. Good support on the phone if you need it.:)

Same here:)

Note to the OP... Read and reread. This advice, if taken, is about as good as it gets. I know several guys that can predict price like nobody's business, but they can't trade for sh#t because they either get out too soon with too small of a profit, or too late with too big of a loss. Sounds...

You can also hate reading someones book, but walk away from it a better trader. I had a hard time getting through his book myself. It was a painful experience. But I have to say, I extracted a couple of gems from it that I use and it has improved my bottom line. Aside from his interpretation of...

I guess I'm not the only one.:(

"Practice proper position size, account protection and safe exits until they’re as instinctive as looking both ways before crossing the street. The one time you believe you don’t need leverage constraints, or a protective stop, or an exit plan because a setup is just way too good may turn...

I'd take the red pill and give it to my wife. Her credit card bills consistently go over 15k/month. Last year she had enough points to buy us round trip tickets to Kona,Hi. We even took our two kids. Lol. She actually feels like she earned us those tickets. I love her like crazy, but the money...

FWIW, I currently use both IB and Ameritrade. I am planning on moving everything over to IB. Main reason is margin. Next reason is the ability to trade different instruments with the same account. I will keep a couple bucks in my TOS account just to use their platform. (I use thinkscripts) and...

Tlow, I don't know how old you are, but consider yourself very fortunate to have this sort of mindset. It has taken me a LONG time to develop this in myself, not just in trading, in all aspects in life. You're gonna make it. I'm sure. There was a time when I could not say that about myself. A...

Sorry, I saw a beggar on the corner today with a sign that said, "I bet you can't hit me with a quarter". I threw all of my change at him.

And here is your key problem, riddler. I know several successful traders, myself included. Although none of us trade exactly the same, NONE OF US TAKE A BIG LOSS!!!. Sure I take losses, but even if I have scaled in on a trade (averaging in), my losses are a small percent. So far this year, my...

You can see that I am not a big poster here on this forum, so you might take this advice with less value than something that comes from a member with 100's of posts, but I no personal agenda here and offer only some books for you to read. Here is my list of favorites: Trading in the Zone...

The a-ha moment came to me actually when I started to win at poker consistently. I play limit hold-em. Watching me play is extremely boring to most. I pick my hands that have the best odds of winning. Kind of like a "risk-reward ratio". I will also bet according to who else on my table is...

Thanks for leaving Justmo. I hope I can have your seat in the lurkers room. I think this place is great. Every morning after my charts are up and every evening after my charts are down I have been having some great reads. I have actually learned a thing or two. (although some not directly...
