    Nihaba-- Your comments are most welcome. You seem to have a good grip on T/A, and I've learned much already from your posts. You and other informative members are the closest I have to a mentor, so critique away. And thanks for the blow-by-blow, it definitely helps me.

    eSignal wish list : the dedicated thread

    I must make amends on this thread. I recently posted how un-userfriendly this program can be. Although it is difficult to navigate and get used to, once you do, it is simply excellent. So I completely retract my statement in an earlier post. E- signal's advanced charting ROCKS!! I have...

    Still in the habit of giving away money towards the end of the day. However, today, I nipped it in the bud. It was VERY hard not getting in on the late afternoon ramp, as I was expecting it. The price action was just too bumpy. +8 points / 5 RT's Dabbled with snagit for awhile. See how...

    The Edge

    It's talked about alot on these forums. But how does one find it? And if you do, how do you recognize it? Then implement it? When you do have an edge, why would you share it with anybody else? If I found an edge, I don't think I would share it. Is it a noun or verb? Can anyone put it in...

    Nihaba-- I downloaded the Snagit program and have been trying with no success to annotate a chart. I keep losing the file and when I do find it, I can't open it. When I do open it all I can draw is a big fat red circle. To be honest I've never been able to use Word or Excel or anything on the...

    I would like to know why this is. The breakout(down) is my bread and butter set-up. Although my P/L isn't showing it, I've made the most points from these. It's when I try and fade or buy on the retrace is when I get into trouble. It does get rather subjective in chop though. Just gotta have the...

    easy-- With all due respect, I cannot and will not papertrade. Personally, it doesn't work for me. It just doesn't replicate accurately enough what actually happens. No matter what I've ever done in my life, I immerse myself in it from the beginning. And yes initially I'll admit, it would've...

    Banjo-- You are either an ex-ironworker or very close to one that is. Man, I haven't heard that one since I was an apprentice some years ago. Foreman: "Eh Kid, go up to the working floor and ask the raising gang for some sky-hooks. And while your at it, grab a beam stretcher out of the...

    Wow, lots of replies. Thanks guys, I'll get to them in a minute. As for today. Like I said, being conservative will be my thing for awhile. Because of this, I left some money on the table since I had gotten so used to giving back gains in the afternoon. No regrets though. My pattern continued...

    To tell you the truth... Greed and Ego (lets not forget stupidity) Ego because I can't believe, after being somewhat successful in the beginning, that I can be so unsuccessful now. Hurts my pride. Greed. Not to get rich, but to get back what I have lost... fast. The meat of the matter was...

    Reason-- It's enough to make your head spin huh? I think this is one of the most important of trading decisions. Today I did both and did neither, all at the wrong time. I'm hoping I can ride out this storm and then start to see things more clearly. Until then, conservative and discipline...

    I was so sure that the NQ's were gonna tank towards the end, that I made a mortal mistake by diving in and out... in and out ... in and out... in and out... in and out... in and out....around the 920 level. Each time covering with a loss of a few points on two contracts. I was so confident that...

    Capitulation Please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    My worry is that with or w/out capitulation, John Q public will tire and the liquidity, volatility will dry up and will leave all of us yanking each other for a few pennies. So pretty much what Sarasota said.
