Wayne Dyer had a great analogy about an orange, “If you squeeze an orange what will come out? Orange juice, of course. Does it matter who squeeze’s it, or under what circumstances that it is squeezed? No, of course not. You will still get orange juice.” Well the same holds true for you...

Yes, I will get a summary out as soon as I can. Bruce

Did anybody attend the E-mini Trading Strategy that CME/IB offered? I thought it was very good, nothing I haven't heard before, but it was put together in a logical progression that allowed me to see the importance of what was being presented. What did you guys think about it? If...

You said a mouthful, I see the light. This is all you really need to look at if you want to create change. Accept the above quote and go from there. Excellent TriPack!

You make a good point, I have to admit after thinking about it recently, I realized just about everything I do for "other people" is really in some way, shape or form for myself. I guess we all have needs inside of us to fulfill that we are not consciously aware of, we do things for other...

It seems to be a requirement at ET that when a thread is going in a peaceful and calm manner someone needs to stand up and yell fraud, liar or some other label. I am thoroughly enjoying this thread and I could care less if he is plagiarizing the Pope. I appreciate Maxmin's perception's about...

Don Miller at one point was the MA cross over man, I don't know if he still uses it or not. He is assosciated with Trading Markets http://www.tradingmarkets.com/.site/stocks/commentary/dmqqq/ Enthios has a system on his site called the Enthios cross, take a look...

Stop trading with money and papertrade. Don't go live until you are consistently profitable for 1 month. I know I know, papertrading is worthless, there is no value to it etc.. but if you don't have the discipline to do it (papertrade) then you don't have the discipline to make it live...

How about when the reason for your entry no longer exists. regards, Bruce

First of all let me say this, I resemble that remark, Traderkay. I have no clue why I am in such esteemed company. Perhaps in a round about way its because I post so infrequently so as not to do to much damage. I vote for Girlpower. regards, Bruce Hawkins, aka Tonkadad, aka Arrogant...

Tampa, You very eloquently put into words something very similar I have been going thru for the last month or so. I had been so focused on trading as being my oneway ticket to happiness, that would heal my disappointments in life, correct my mistakes, that I squeezed the life out of it...

I just started reading a NLP (Neuro-Linguistics Programming) book. It talks about Motivation Direction. Basically we are either moving toward what we want or away from what we don't want. People who move toward what they want are goal oriented. People who move away from what they don't...

Excellent post stockfrosty! Are you a Mark Douglas believer? I am going to print out your post and read it every morning before I trade. Well done. regards, Bruce Hawkins

You can use Sierra with IB as the data feed. The main thing I don't like about having just 1 data feed is that you don't know if it is slow or not. I am always making sure that IQ feed (data feed for my charts, Ensign) is in sync with IB. It seems like cheap insurance to me. regards...

As some more knowledgeable than I have already said, your edge, holy grail, what ever you want to call it, is YOU! IMO the main "system" we need to focus on is ourselves. We need to on a continual basis, examine what are thoughts are before, during and after we place a trade. What am I...

That was the most inspired, eloquent, insightful book I have ever read. Amazing! Thank you newtoet for sharing that. Just what I needed. regards, Bruce Hawkins

Hi Porgie, I don't follow what you are saying regarding the scale and consequently how the last sentence relates to it? I am intrigued, but unclear. Also, what would be your entries and trade management on a 10 min chart? thanks, Bruce Hawkins

The only economic news I saw (consumer sentiment) was scheduled for 9:45 EST. Did I miss something? regards, Bruce Hawkins

Thank you, Jack regards, Bruce

Michael, the more I try to just get the basic concept of what Jack is saying the more sense I make of it. Every once in awhile there will be a sentence that is just way over my head, but I keep reading trying to get the basic meaning of the rest of the paragraph. The more I read, the more...
