These are good posts, very helpful. This is why I come to this forum so often.

My wife and I are seeing housing slow down on personal terms. She is mortgage broker for a large home builder in Illinois and the amount of loans she has processed has fallen off big. They may even start to lay some people off in the morgage dept. They just laid off 30 homes sales agents for...

Alll I can say is that if these 4 guys were big producers for the firm then let me stay. If they are outright harrasing women while at the firm, then you would have a different story. I just left sales. A few of my customers like strip clubs, my female manager said no problem, she just...

I think Robert Green CPA, who handles traders, is on the East Coast. I use Paul Mann daytradertax.com, here in Denver. He is good, but in Colorado.

I agree with alot of these posts. I have been taking 1 Tylenol PM to get to sleep for a few weeks, guess what, now I almost have to take them. I am going to ween myself off by taking half a pill then no pill. Calcium/Magnesium works from my experience so does mediation. Working out...

I agree with you Iguana, it is in the World's best interst to have a strong dollar so Americans can continue to buy more Chinese crap. There will come a point when then will realize as we will that we can't repay the debt, if we continue at this rate, and they will look towards other...

I agree Study and Trade, the smart money is with gold. The US/Fed continues to print money, spend money we don't have, China is starting to move out of dollars, Iran is moving to the Euro for oil. Iraq was gone to move to Euros for oil until we overthrew Sadam and kept their oil trade on the...

I just started using News Strike, I think it is pretty good. I don't trade off news, just like to hear it before CNBC or Fox has it.

Sanjuro, I take it from your comment that you are implying I am a dumbass because I like customer support. Well I think it would be pretty stupid to trade with a firm which has little/no customer support as IB is known for. Suppose genuis, your internet goes down WTF are you going to do...

If you are just trading electronic fututres markets then call Velocity Futures and use X Trader. It smokes anything else out there, hands down. It is what the banks and heavy hitters all use. Look them up and call Anthony, he has alot of experience with X Trader and he is nice too. If you...

Whether or not this story is true I think there are lessons to be learned. Its sad that people have to slam each other on this board, we are all just trying to make money right? :D

Downtick, I agree with the earlier poster whom suggested you find out what you love and start a business. Having worked from yourself, I believe it will be difficult, not impossible, to work for someone else. I am doing the opposite, I have wanted to trade for a living for several years...

Do yourself a favor, call daytradertax.com, his name is Paul Mann. I have looked at everyone and I think he is the best. Consider trading under an LLC or S corp next year, you get many more tax advantages. I am sorry, but it would take me a couple of pages to go through the added rightoffs perks...

Money can't buy happiness, but as stated earlier, money does give one options and freedom and that's it. Some people can't handle so much freedom, so they get money, become horrible people and get addictions of all sorts. Others who have discipline, the same discipline that made them...

oneway pockets, those are great posts, good stories to back it up too. I don't wish any ill will on anyone, I am just glad we bargain hunted when we bought our house a couple of years ago

Scott, Here's a hint, start looking at sma and emas on 5,30, and 60 minute chart. When they all show the same thing your chances of winning are much higher my testing has found. Regarding Fibo, look up fibonacci retracement levels. Also look up...

I am studying under 2 mentors, one of them a pro trader for 22 years. The key according to my friend the pro trader is to figure out how to buy low and sell. Of course I told him, that's obvious. Now I must work on the riddle and apply many methods to a chart on a 5 minute, 30 minute, 60...

Afterburner, I agree with your assesment, but that means it may become cheaper to buy US goods instead of Chinese goods at Wall Mart. Less Chinese goods purchased means a logical purchase of more American goods and more mfg. in the US which would be a good thing, don't you agree...

Always trade with trend! Unless you are scalping for 2-4 ticks. The only way to trade against the trend is to be like Jesse Livermore with deep pockets, I am still a piker. When I can put on 50+ lot then maybe I will try to turn the market a bit.

I didn't read all the posts so excuse if this was mentioned..... Why not when you triple your account let's say take 2/3 out and move it to a safer investment, say a money market. Then you are back to starting outing with what you came in with. It sounds like you are good at taking a small...
