NinjaTrader sucks.

I cannot comment on TM as I haven't much experience with the product lately but I have used eLocal as a broker and they were first class. Jeff Ganis and Doug Zalesky do a good job and look after their customers.

Dogfish - I am interested in how many ticks per lot is achievable on a typical day. I do basically the same thing but call it a day after 10 ticks of net profits per lot.

I am interested in why you think this to be the case. I think scalping for 3 ticks with a 4 tick stop loss to make 10 ticks a day net is quite possible. With such a small profit taget and slightly larger stop loss as described above, a winning % of 59.65% is needed when using a commision value...

I think it is possible to scalp the Bund. The Flipper used to take only 3-5 ticks profit per trade. Whatever suits your style! http://www.trading-naked.com/paul_rotter.htm

Agreed. Described as eloquently as Elder deserves to be. Elder is an educator and not a trader.

Sticking to your plan is only useful if the plan is any good in the first place. Don't make the mistake of only making a plan because everyone says you should. Your plan has to be robust. If your plan is not robust, why would you stick to it? It should contain information about how you will...

I think ACM and Steve are both right. A viable and testable edge is very important. I also think a good psychological makeup that will allow you to continually trade that edge without detracting from it when you are losing is important too. I know in my early days I used to revenge trade and my...

I went to his seminar and for a while I thought some of his advice on setups was poor too. However, after several listenings to the tapes I recorded during his seminar, I managed to put a lot of his material together. To take an example - his conjuction trade does not work as well in trending...

It's called momentum. Think about it.

The screen shot is of 3 monitors on the bottom and 1 on top of the middle one. As you can see, the top left and right are blank as there are no monitors there. You can see the setup in the botton right hand screen as I have left the Display Properties dialog box up. Windows and my driver for the...

Agreed. However, I would like to say that I am using WinXP Pro SP2, which might make a difference.

I have just followed what you have said on my Matrox G450 Quad. Look the screenshot, especially the bottom right where the screen configuration is. Is this what you are trying to do?

What happens if you keep the native (recommended) resolution for all monitors. Do you have the same problem?

What is the native resolution of all of your monitors?
