The more Ram the better, then check your memory usage. I run 1.5 gig and I always have 60% left with multiple chart programs running.

I am scared by the entire state of economic affairs in this county....Inflation, uncontrolled spending, RE bubble, record high gas prices. I can say one good thing I am happen to hear people will have to start paying more on their min credit card balance, finally so financial resp. Now our...

I agree Steve, and I also believe strongly in NLP. I used it to become a top salesman when I had no previous exp in the industry of my previous field. I firmly believe that if I continue to study the wining traders I can model myself to be like them to an extent. Excellence can be duplicated!

Then maybe you shouldn't trade in the afternoon. Try something different, double up you positions if you trade well in the morning, when you hit your goal, quit, don't get greedy. Set a goal and stick to it. I want to make $400 per day trading e mini Russell, but so far I can't get past $100...

only 1 review on amazon, hmm

This is a great post, I am a begining day trader with e mini Russell and I feel fortunate to be able to learn from this website and good posts like this. I makes sense to me.

I honestly believe the people that are alcholoics and are traders could possibly suffer from compulsive disorders. Trading is stressful, positive outlets are needed otherwise people will seek out negative ones. I eat sweets after a good or bad trade. Have I considered going to overeaters...

It's funny, but it kina makes sense.......psychopaths are emotionally devoid of feeling, especially when they commit crimes of violence, good traders seem to share the emotionally detached state as well

Ripley, if I could suggest maybe take a break and go back to a simulator. That is what I am doing and I am still have mental challenges, because I really treat it like the real thing, a good thing I think! Velocity Futures has X Trader sim for free and it has been good practice for me. Until...

I have been trading the e mini Russ with a 1.5 stop but am having a hard time get to a 3 point win so I am going to regroup. I have found that being honest and objective with myself has turned $500 losing days, trading with anger and desperation to trading to BE and then plus $100 and now...

I am just starting out, have 2 monitors, and I think it is helpful. I can watch my real time charts on 1, and I have my order entry window on the other above the webpage I surf while waiting for my indicator to go red light green light, I need something to fill the boredom as I only trade 6-10...

I read Douglas' Trading in the Zone and for a new trader struggling to day trade without emotion it was helpful to me. I feel that if I can get one thing of value from something I read or listen to then it was probably worth it.

I would just like to be able to journal my thoughts while throughout the trading day, but it seems to take along time to journal my thoughts while day trading. Any suggestion folks?

I too a going to try trading with a binuaral beat program that produces Theta I believe I have heard good things about I will post once I have had a chance to try it out. In my short time day trading I have found that I am my worst enemy or best friend and it is a direct result of my mind. The...

I am actually going to try to listen to binaural beats, supposed to put you in a relaxed stated, help me deal with me stress.

I think it is very important to having a trading plan. I have seen first hand how not having one or sticking to it are hurting my trading.

Thanks Happy99 I had heard of Van Tharp many times but didn't know about his website. I too am new to day trading with some short term trading experience. My biggest tip, if you don't aleady know, stay away from seminars for $3000 and more, especially when starting out. Most are hype, luckily...
