Brooks, as I said to you in my emails, any stops we take on any live trade calls are by definition -3/8 or less. Well over 70% of my alerts consistently yield at least +1/2 to +1 1/4 points profits, as any of the hundreds of people who've been in my room can attest. I am someone who takes...

Many thanks re kudos on the room... agree also w/earlier post re some are good some are bs for trading education. Not all trading methods are suitable for all traders. Some sites still recommend swing trading (if you can believe it!) in this market. It's good advice to try out a lot of...

Good luck to all... interesting times we're trading... rationale for avoiding jnpr/cien is that they tend to be overtraded by "the crowd" (eg like brcd rmbs lately) and have 1/2 point 'wiggles', which is too high a risk for the type of close trading I like to have my folks learn on. Also...

Hi Ed, yes it took me close to a year to "turn the corner"... and sure, get at least 2-3 monitors from the start, helps, I like the viewsonics and/or sonys, eg I use several E400 sonys, the A90 viewsonics, terrific... easy to do multimonitor.. also, win2k is a lot more stable and better...

Hi - for what it's worth, my first year trading I did fine learning with a datek/daslinger and quotetracker.com type rookie/newbie setup, did well enough with it to migrate to a higher end platform... if I had it all to do over again, I would have: 1) used win2k and 3-5 monitors from the...

Hi John, I agree re: no friday data... strange bug... don't know why they do this... I've found it will pop up eventually, if you leave the window open for a few minutes, but that's too slow... agree that's a bug that needs fixing.. eg if you're trying to do your trade research for the next day...

You have to have the right tool for the job.... esignal is designed for those of us who are professional daytraders. Eg does quicken or others allow up to 8 level 2 boxes? Can you do a nice multimonitor display like this one: http://www.Daytrading-University.com/6mon.gif ?? Daytraders...

yes.... realtime up to the second data is critical, if you don't have it, then don't trade... eg try out the vendors etc out there... also for premkt trading be sure to have the open isld java book... its the only montage that counts premkt... esignal, set your charts to start at 8:30 or so, I...

Hi - I recommend esignal highly to all my traders, here's a screencap of my current 6-monitor esignal professional trading setup: http://www.Daytrading-University.com/6mon.gif scroll to the right to see more etc.. hope that helps, ken

Hi re brokers - many of my traders like IB, however personally I like cybercorp.com, as speed is everything... a missed 1/8 due to a slow fill on 300 shares costs $36... do the math... I think cyber's commisses are still too expensive, should be $8-$10 or less imo... bottom line, you need a...

Good posts re: trying out different schools for different trading styles. Every trader has their own unique approach, with several basics in common. It's a good idea to experiment, both by trying out various ideas you read in books, chart patterns, and various training & educational...
