Perhaps its just the stocks I've been trading, but for the last 2 days, everything seems to just drift with almost no movement at all. There are a couple 1% moves (in the 3x ETFs) but other than that, everything seems really dead. What happened ? Perhaps this is just a temporary lull and...

Thanks for the responses. You all are awesome !

My little brother wants to learn about trading. Does anyone know of any free sim accounts that have live market data with TA and allows one to view multiple timeframes ? I'm thinking that there is no such thing since that is asking for alot for free, but I thought I'd ask.

Can any profitable trader tell me what they would do in the following situation: Your system tells you to buy, but for whatever reason, you missed getting in at your target price and see that the trend has already started. a) Do you still buy in ? If so, how do you determine your stop...

Thoughts on this article ? http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/economic-black-hole-20-reasons-why-the-u-s-economy-is-dying-and-is-simply-not-going-to-recover

Thanks, I'll try using the std deviation on TS. I'm currently using the Text to Speech audio alerts which are pretty useful.

+$23.47 on 1 trade First day back to trading after months of backtesting and evaluating my methods.

I love this thread ! Great idea OP ! My contribution: Back in early March 2009, I had been watching BAC around the upper $6's. I had just started trading a month or 2 before so I had no clue what I was doing. I had made $12k in one day and thought I was on top of the world. So I bought...

TraderZones is the biggiest loser I've ever seen on any website. He trolls almost every thread and posts the most negative stuff. Its best to put that troll on ignore. What kind of loser repeatedly posts negative comments everyday to every thread he can find. Ugh Anyway, thanks for all the...

I think RedNeck Trader's post was extremely good !

I use eSignal, but to use their scanner, I have to shell out $3000, which is pretty lame, considering it doesnt even do most of what I want and I already pay like $140/month There is definitely some overlap between some of the symbols (eg: BAC, JPM, GS), but even skipping over those makes it...

My system that I have is pretty good. I wrote programs to backtest it, forward tested it, and backtested it on multiple stocks back to the early 1990's, so I know it works. The problem I currently have is, I have about 90 stock symbols on my list. It takes me quite a while to go through all...

I'm still down for the year about $30k, but I just started trading this year and took off many months to study up. I've been refining my strategy doing either paper trading or small trades in the last 2-3 months. Will be ready to face the beast starting this Monday by starting small ! I'm...

Still paper trading my system. I am getting progressively better at it. I realized that one big hurdle that I'm still trying to overcome is trading what is happening in front of me, and not trading what I think will happen. Reprogramming myself is definitely a challenge. I think most ppl...

Still paper trading my system. Timing is alot tougher than I thought. Buying to early is like trying to catch a falling dagger. Waiting until the trend turns causes me to set my stops to wide or for my limit orders not get hit (since the price usually doesnt swing back down to my price, so I...

Anyone know of any company offering sim trading for options ?

I agree guys, I have been trading my demo account in real time, and plan on doing it until I do 20 trades where I follow my system. Then I'll slowly move back into trading with real money at a small amount and ramp it up.

@riskfreetrading: Did you check out my systems other pick today ? FAS was just up 12% today ! :D I'm sim trading my new account to get used to the interface before I start trading real money. I realized something today sim trading that I never grasped fully until now. I was cutting all my...

@riskfreetrader: I welcome any comments/critiques of anything I post. My system mainly detects trends. I actually have come up with my own system that uses a couple of indicators that I created. I plot my indicators on a chart in realtime and when a number of conditions are met, a buy or...

Thanks NoDoji ! Neke's journal is quite inspirational ! Cant believe he made $72K in a week. Wow. I will definitely check out his journal and yours everyday ! My current account balance: $99,051.91 I'm setting up my trading screens now so I'll be ready for tomorrow. (Not sure how to...
