Futures, ah yes, the place where my ass was handed to me quicker than I could stand up to get off of it. Painful times indeed. I wish at my new prop firm they allowed trading futures, as I see in Sterling Trader Pro they have a futures module and stuff built in, but doubtful. I'd be...

What do you trade? I had a couple of screw ups when trading futures, I'd drag somewhere I shouldn't have with CQGTrader, wish I had a better mouse back then. Now fortunately with stocks, it is just maybe 3 - 5 keys that I use to trade a stock, makes it very easy...

Completely agree. If you like your money, I suggest elsewhere from personal experiences, because you might just have some of it magically, disappear .... Wonderful.

Awesome What's that thing on top of your CPU in the back, is it a projector? Also, did you build that table?

Not necessarily... The shorter the timeframe, the more action, the more subect of randomness, the more quick thinking needed to be done. I trade on the 1 minute timeframe though. I use the 1, 5, and daily when researching, but during live trading, it's only the 1, but use other...

Yeah, c'mon, lets see some real trading stations, the off-topic stuff was cool for the first few messages, but is now just annoying.

Yeah because I'm sure a data provider would be advertising their higher prices... What an idiot... I'll let people decide for themselves which is obviously a better option. I'm not here to argue the fact that eSignal is a rip off, we already know this.

I've seen a few websites have prices around there, some even up around $15 round turn. Just tell them you want lower or NO DEAL! When i first started trading futures, I was scalping at $5 round turn, and every day, all my losses were 50% in commissions. Also, overall, when I blew my 2k...

eSignal, LMAO!!!

lol, this post is so funny, he is talking to me like I'm a 16 year old or something. I can't solve stupidity, but I can sure point it out, and the above speaks for itself. :cool: Steve reminds me of that annoying person that always points out the most obvious things in the world, and thinks...

Yeah, but I'm sick of eSignal going UP in price while everthing else is going down. It's unbelievable what eSignal is doing, I'm happy they cancelled my account, I'm having fun over at DTN and I have someone I e-mail for new features I'd like and they either e-mail me back giving me a...

eSignal, ripping it's customers off... NO KIDDING??? You know what though, if YOUR ACTUALLY PAYING FOR ESIGNAL NOW.... YOUR GETTING RIPPED OFF REGARDLESS!!! So, don't feel like an idiot for getting ripped off, because you already are regardless.

I hope you copied & pasted that CW :P I think the above just about sums it up. Experience & Knowledge

Confidence is a good part of it, and self doubt certainly is a killer I'm sure. Mark Douglas - Trading in the Zone, read it, read it again, and read it even more, and try to understand what he is saying and learn from it. Personal experience is the only way, sitting on the sidelines...

You need at the VERY least a 6 months, more likely a year, and a realization that it just isn't going to be that easy unfortunately. Chess has nothing to do with trading, you might have your ego on the line with Chess, but in trading, you have your cash, your net worth on the line, it's a...

What fun is that :p

You have pretty much answered your own question.... I'm sure you can still find good information from swing traders though...

I got a question, do people think that Level 2 is useful for extremely fast moving stocks (GOOG, AAPL, VLO, X, GS, SPY) and others like that? I have of course sat in front of my computer trying to understand level 2, but, it seems the best I can do, is when I can kinda "sense" that a big move...

One of our better traders, RM, has advised me that what he believes makes him a great trader. From a PM I say my three biggest strenghts in trading are, speed (ability to get in and out quickly and adjust to the situation, as it might take only a second to make me react and fire), pattern...
