That's because the majority aren't scalpers and don't even know that they're experiencing lag. Generally only scalpers try to place a lot of trades during heavy market times, and that's when the problem shows up with ZF and a lot of charts open. Yeah, it's "good enough" for a lot of people...

Generally, yes. You are looking to shadow someone without having any actual knowledge yourself. Lots of people try to do that, and lots of people aren't successful at it. There's probably a reason for that.... but keep trying, you'll probably have to figure it out for yourself.

If you're looking for a room where someone is going to tell you exactly where to get in and out all the time so that you will always make money, you aren't going to find it. You can't just follow someone else's trades and make money like that. The sooner you realize this point, the better off...

No problems, good luck on your quest. Just remember to not listen to any advice unless it makes perfect sense to you... because a lot of it is wrong!

This is EXACTLY the type of realization that you need to start having more and more if you're going to be successful. Forget about what other people say or don't say about premarket activity or anything else. If they are telling you one thing but your eyes are telling you something else, then...

This is normal. Every trader does something like this in the beginning. $25k is not that bad compared to what a lot of people lost starting out. You are wrong about this, but you don't know it yet. This is "stage 2" of the normal trader progression path. Education is not going to help you...

If you are just daytrading, open up a prop account - they will give you all the buying power you want. Check out the prop forums on this site.

Low volume choppy trade is there to lull to you sleep, so you don't see the big moves coming. It pays to always be alert.

... and August is generally a tougher month to trade than the 4 that just passed. I have a feeling this month's numbers might be even worse.

Thanks for clearing that up... it sounded like Mr. Green was managing it from one of the other statements. I don't know why anyone would sign up to learn from a guy who trades on a simulator and can't make money in a real fund.

I don't get it. Who exactly IS making the trading calls in the ProfitNavigation fund?

I guess it explains why he trades on a simulator.

After August would be my guess.

I've considered a lot of things including switching to a broker with a TT feed, however it's hassle to do that and I don't want to unless I have to. I'll give them a chance to make NT 7 work right with ZF before I make any changes. There are problems with other software programs too, and at...

Well, I will say this for you - ever since that fiasco in June when you suddenly changed the beta release date on us at the last minute, you guys have been much more proactive about keeping us up to date and informed. So my complaints on that front are more about the past than anything you are...

Because those total jerks promised us a beta of their brand-new much-improved version 7 at the end of June, and then royally screwed us about 1 week from that date, saying "guess what, now you have to wait until September!". If I had known 6 months ago I would have switched, but they kept...

NT updates everything in a single thread. So if you have 10 charts open full of indicators and one simple chart open with nothing on it, the simple chart will be limited by the processing on all the other charts, and will update at exactly the same speed. You can set up another computer and...

Unless you try to trade as a short-term scalper, the only way you are going to notice the lag that NT is suffering is if you run another copy of it side-by-side with nothing but a time and sales ticker, or maybe a simple chart with no indicators. It's possible that you are actually suffering...

What is the lookback period on your charts? And other than the DOM indicators, do you have any other ones? I'm assuming you are only using time-based charts, since those are the fastest implentation by far on NT - range and volume charts are slower. Anyways, 5 charts is not a lot - we should be...

Yes... my installation has the wonderful property of crashing one out of every 5 times I press the "reverse position" button. Also, I would be careful about upgrading to the .12 version from .11... I tried installing .12 and it caused a blue screen of death. Someone else reporting the same thing...
