i use trade-alerts as well, but i also have realtick's hottrend running so i'll see either of them. hottrend doesn't work anywhere near as well as tradealerts but sometimes can alert me to things i wouldn't pick up. i haven't had trade-alerts open the past couple months because i've had...

i do. one of a few strategies i use. as nodoji said though, there has to be a big enough point differential to justify the risk. and for newbies, dealing with climax trades can be extremely risky.

trade2 - used to be IT, 15 years ago. been a trader since. still keep up with it to help people, but hate the updating. so a bunch of wrong assumptions from the start. the older software is generally NOT safer than newer ones. and fixes are done for older software on a secondary, not...

your belief is completely wrong.

i found the book generally boring because i didn't care to hear about his exploits. i also knew people who told me their stories of wild and wooly stuff going on in the mid/late 80s.

darvas system for over the counter profits.

link? the kicked out part isn't true; the settlement was "darvas, promise not to be a broker, and drop your libel lawsuit against the state". the guy who wanted to prosecute darvas (lefkowitz) claimed he only found 216k in profits, and darvas said he only accessed one of his six...

i believe that: o'neill said he based some stuff from darvas AND darvas based his stuff off wyckoff. darvas' book is quicker/easier to read than o'neill's. they're both good to read. there's also a couple books that came out a couple years ago "trade like an o'neil disciple" (and a...

sounds like nicholas darvas how i made 2 million in the market. written in the late 50s or early 60s, easily found in bookstores. but what is old or easily found? if old = first written in the 60s and on its 7th? edition, could be o'neil's book.

sure. from my post a couple years ago at: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=3190836&highlight=tim#post3190836 05-21-11 08:57 AM quick summary: -> he trades pink sheet stocks. you know, the market where quotes aren't guaranteed to be filled, shorts are insanely...

what do i do? (for social)? talk with neighbors. go out with family or wife (with sitter @home) coach kids' sports teams. get together with friends in the same town. get together with friends in the 'city'. play basketball with friends. that's off the top of my head. you'll...

ofthomas - thanks for following up. yes, money is not a concern, but i don't like spending money on things i don't need / won't use. and, also, i've read these threads (and others on some of the techie sites - but i prefer asking on here, since the responses will be more trading-related, and...

ofthomas - actually, i strictly daytrade, but i take a limited number of positions. the rest is correct. my current trading machine is T3400, core duo E8400 @3 GHz. i believe i've had this for three years. i have to move away at some point from XP because MSFT's support is ending...

got a few questions to ask, jumping in this thread rather than open a new "what do i want for my T3600?" my setup: currently using a T3400 with 2 24" monitors (nvidia NVS290), running XP. this machine doesn't have any gaming on it, nor other internet resources. have 4GB of memory, use 3GB...

one good feature of the "New" IB was a +1 option. i think that comment would get about a +100000.

steve - welcome back, congrats on getting an mba. means you have a lot of different paths open to you. i know several (non-equities) traders who got mba's because their company liked having it on their desk. too bad your wife doesn't have a full-time job with benefits, but that's the...

well, i was planning on going down there - registered and everything - but i have family things to do each day that are more important to me. there are some beneficial things to newer traders and i've met a few full-time individual traders there, which was good. there are a few traders...

i use avast, comodo firewall (not avast's), malwarebytes, firefox + adblock + flashblock. safe sites, but i got one of those "windows xp 2011" equivalent viruses several years ago from either reuters or bloomberg when someone left a driveby injection there.

use tradelog for accounting, it's such a relief. btw, i think you can only write off 3k unless you're an entity / filled out some paperwork / have gains in a previous year. i am NOT a tax attorney nor do i play one on tv.
