P.S. When I first saw this thread, nugya, I thought it had to do with closing out positions in the buff. I thought, "Yeah, that sounds like me. How did they know? Guess there are others too." Hehe :D

Continuing: That night he called his mother, which was the hardest phone call he ever had to make. He felt like a complete failure. He felt like he should be put in shackles and hauled away. "Mom," I said, "I need to talk to you." "What is it?" she asked "I think you need to come over to the...

Stock Market Wizard, Mark Cook was using the trading strategy early in his career of selling options and making good money doing it. He was doing so well with his trading that he started trading for some family members. He had a system worked out that he thought he'd "perfected" that was...

I agree with wally and others that: There are many different types of trading and just because someone is good at one doesn't necessarily mean they'll be good at another. And another part of this too is that the best teachers are not even necessarily the best traders although they tend to...

Also forgot to mention that Larry ran for the U.S. Senate from Montana in 1978 and 1982 and actually came close to winning both times. http://www.montanaforum.com/rednews/2002/10/14/build/ethics/negativeads.php?nnn=2 An interesting guy. I remember seeing a photo of him and Ronald Reagan...

Interesting thread. A controversial guy, as most people who win national trading contests with the record he had would be (turned $10,000 into $1,147,000 in one year and I believe he had more - $1.6 ml? - but lost it being a little too aggressive). A lot of people are looking for someone to show...

Hi OtL I know this company. My girlfriend and I rented half a duplex to the office manager and her husband (Lynn & Grantley from Florida) when part of it was still Software.com. And I've met some of the people that work there. My interest in my post here is in regard to your posts. Don't take...

bungrider Yes that was my point, that at the time Appian was THE superior card on the market and mostly the best available option. (Actually it runs 4 monitors but I just have 3). And most everythng, computers included, cost a lot more 3 years ago. I don't know if the Jeronimo Pro is the best...

Hi, rah Actually I'm using Windows XP Pro which I just installed on a new 120 gig hard drive. And in answer to your questions, all the display adapters are on IRQ 11 and my network card, which I'm not using now since I lost my cable connection, is on IRQ 10. And there's something called Vortex...

bungrider Nothing personal but the way your question is phrased seems a bit judgmental. It implies that I must be stupid for spending so much money and you're smarter because you spent only a tenth as much. If you'll read my post again you'll see that I bought this new 3 years ago and I'd be...

In case anyone else is interested, here are some links to sites involving copyrighting software that I sent to aphie in a PM. :) These books (Nolo Press) are kind of do-it-yourself law books and are very good and I've used them for other things...

Hi, rah Can't help but chuckle. Ha. It's me, BCE, from the RealTick bandwidth limitations, data feed hassles thread. Ha. I have a Jeronimo Pro I've had for 3 years now and run 3 monitors, 1 Trinitron 21" CRT and 2 LG Electronics 19" CRT's and it works great. Windows installs a 4th phantom...

Not being the ultimate nanosecond scalper I kind of like using my mouse as it provides me with what feels like the right rhythm for placing orders and killing orders and considering moves and observing charts etc. Plus it seems a lot easier to make mistakes using a keyboard. Your software...

The dollar cost averaging into QQQ and SPY may work well if we don't run into a long drawn out deflationary cycle. Don't know if Japan has a similar vehicle but can you imagine dollar cost averaging into the Japanese market the last 10 years? How long would it take to get that money back? Not...

Fohat said I agree fully and can't wait for more liquidity. It will take a while. Leverage is great though, as you say, if you know what you're doing. Of course, if you don't know what you're doing, God help you. :)

Hey, aphie How's it going? I'm wondering about any plans to include SSF's. Realized yesterday I'm not signed up for the eMini feeds on eSignal anymore but just thru RealTick. I have a 1 min candlestick chart with an ES overlay and a 5 min with an NQ overlay in RealTick which costs $10 extra a...

Here's a link to an article today from Schaeffer's Research on keeping your analysis simple. To me this is one of THE MOST important things someone can do to improve their trading. Most ALL of us overcomplicate things and this gets in the way of the actual trade and actually making money. Last...

Hey, aphie How's it going? You know, I just opened an account with Noble Trading but haven't signed up to trade futures quite yet but will shortly. They use J-Trader from patsystems for futures and RealTick for equities. And I also get eSignal equities. I'm wondering if I'd be able to use your...

Are you guys all ganging up on poor little KLAC? LOL It's headed back up to 65 real soon so be very careful..............NOT!!!!! LOL The more extended stocks get the more traders want to short them and hold them and they thus become unavailable. Plus it has to do maybe with your broker. A...

Thanks for the link to the tweaks nitro. Looks very good. Exactly what I'm trying to do. Here's another good link to an article on optimizing XP and it also has some good links. http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,3973,5155,00.asp?kc=ETTH10209HHT4D0000518 I'm having some problems with...
