Hey guys, I put my personal email up and have been a little swamped, so let's try using this forum. If you are new new to this thread, its "why trade anything but minis". This is a day trading statement. Jay

I was already a futures trader. I tried trading at the San Francisco office of Bright, (must say they were great guys and helped me out as much as possible. Only so much Dale could do, I lost money there (slowly bled)But Dale wanted e to succeed, and I would never say anything negative about...

Trust me. WAY easier trading futures. try it. Jay

Hey Triple. What office are you in? I used to work in the SF office with Dale Pitt and crew. Great guys (Tom, Alan, Greg, and Dale of course). I never could make money the way Bright guys do, but have you ever considered trading minis ? I've been supporting myself on futures for 15...

True. I only have a small amount of my total investments in it though. I have done this before and paid a few times (like Enron at a buck), but overall it has worked out well. This type investing is in a long term IRA account and I never put more than 20% in any single position. I also have a...

Good to know for the future as I may look into a sysytem for a trading buddy. 4MB works for me though. I only use about 4 colors, and have 17 inchers so the res doesn't have to be that high. Cheers, Jay

What the ---- are you talking about? You can buy any amount of UAL on the market. Personally, I picked up several thousand shares due to the fact that they have the best network (so did another major that died, TWA). Anyway, If you have to ask how ya get stock, then what are ya doing...

OK guys, didn't have the patience to read the thread, but just picked a Colorgrapghics Evolution 4 card from Ebay fo $33 including postage. (PCanytime, Canadian). Analogue only, but it works without a hitch on my system. Dell P4 1.8hz? 30gig 256? analogue Envision monitors (the...

Skied em both. Great mountains. These Tahoe boys have Squaw though which is hard to beat. Jay

one of the Dakotas, also Tennessee I think. There's 10 total.

Not if you want untracked. Better be at the lifts and ready when they open. I traded from Park City for years and we had the 12" rule there too. BTW, I would be very interested in working in an Incline office except that windsurfing is the sport now! Where you are in the Bay Area is ideal for...

That's the first time in maybe 4 months that I've had a problem. Even though it was only a few minutes, I wonder what happened. Jay

My quotes are down for the first time in ages, and I'm wondering if its system wide. Jay

Me too. Lasted for six months in 1987, but hated it from day one. I wanted to be a trader, thinking that would be the first step. Ha! Traders labled me in the same group as car salesman with the "broker" title on my resume. Luckily, I had some cash left over from a college fund to get going...

from iceman I have also thought about Hawaii, but once had a freind who moved there from here, and said he got Island phobia. He commented that living on an Island is much difference than visting for a few weeks. All depends on your frame of mind and what you are into. If you're...

MACD is one of my main indicators. I use it, as others, in conjunction with other stuff. I use it on 5 and 15 minute charts as a direction indicator, but use traditional chart patterns to actually plan the trade. When the 5 and 15 line up, I am much more comfy in my trading. Jay
