Limbo.. No, I dont want to quit trading. I love it. I dont hate the people who want my money. They are my food source. My point is simply that patience pays the bills.:)

I too would like to know if anybody has made any money using Farrell's techniques. The specialists, whatever you think of them, are some of the best traders in the world.

Kevmeister, Thanks for sharing. I think everybody benefits from confession. Elder talks about AA a lot. It lets people know that they are not alone. It happens to everyone. I usually did something like this after another bad trade. It seems to throw you into a "dont give a damn" mood. I think...

Limbo, since you said please I will assume you are serious. Deja vu is repeating the past. Occasionally on Sundays, I toast myself a time or two and tend to get poetic. Sorry if the subject is off topic.

When I was young my dream was to be a professional gambler. I studied probabilities, designed systems. I got be a pretty good poker player. I didnt do well in no limit games because I was not a good bluffer, but I did ok in limit games where the odds were on my side. I think I could have made a...

A lot of people recommend watching the futures as a leading indicator of where the market is going but I have not been able to find any value in this. The markets appear, to me, to move in lockstep, with the lead switching momentarily from one market to another, but never by enough to be of any...

If you look back, from sept. 99 to jan 00 was the bullest stretch of the bull market, running up over 1200 points. Anybody purchasing a couple of the right stocks could have made tremendous gains.

I get a statement from my broker every month. If I wanted to post them I could scan them into my computer and do so. Might take 30 minutes or so. Surely you can spare that much time.

I dont know whether to laugh or cry.

When I first took up trading I was worried because all these experienced traders were out there teaching everybody and their brother how to do it. I figured it wouldnt be long before there would be so many traders out here, nobody would be able to make a buck. All of this before I ever made a...

Dang. I was hoping nobody would notice. I've been shorting the 10-11am high (approx.) on the Q's for weeks now. I keep pinching myself to make sure I'm not dreaming.

I have never worried about viruses in the past and have never used an anti-virus program. I back up everything I need on discs and have reinstalled my o/s so many times its become routine. I was under the impression that you had to open an attachment to get a virus so I would never open one I...

Hitman, Enjoy reading your posts. Makes me feel better about my own trading:) I wish I knew something that could help. I tried trading for small gains but couldnt handle it. It dawned on me one day that all you really need is one good trade a day. Thats all I shoot for now. Much easier.

There is no one in this world that can answer that question for you.

If youve been trading for two years and are ahead you should be proud of yourself. I've seen a lot of pretty good traders taking a beating lately. If nothing works, stand aside for awhile. If you cant short this market your better off in cash.:)

Good advice War Eagle. One veteran trader I read awhile back talked about the time a new trader came up to him and asked him if he could teach him to trade in a couple of weeks. He asked the guy if he would ask the same thing of a brain surgeon.:)

Whenever a sytem or a guru gets popular its too late,:)

I spent quite awhile studying indicators but have come to the conclusion that they can only confirm your "gut" feeling. If anyone can show me a profitable system that works off indicators alone I will humbly bend over and kiss your assets. I do watch RSI and volume which do, on occasion, lead...

Dufferdon When I started with Tradescape, who, by the way I dont want to knock as they are a pretty good outfit, I was running a 450 pentium 11. The troubles started before I built the new computer. I did not get the blue screen, the page would simply stall. Many times the phone line would...

I could have got out of the Starband deal before the 30 days was up and only been out the $200 installation fee. I knew by then it would not help me on the upload. Then I would have had to get my second phone back and another isp. That would have been about $50 bucks I would have to put out...
