    Macho cajones required to trade ER2?

    lwlee makes a good point here. Therefore, I do not trade the same number of ER lots as ES lots. Insteadd of 4 contracts, I may trade only 3 ER. I am comfortable with this.

    does this mean a BOTTOM is in--

    In my years of experience, the greatest time for a swing trade (trade in and out a few days later) was when fear is very high and all the bad news is public knowledge. That is now. I am also looking at the S&P p/e, which is very low. The 2 day RSI and 14 day RSI is also very low. I would say we...

    Question About Using Tradestation

    As I am getting Tradestation, I don't know whether to add GIG or just get a new computer. I can buy 4 gig of Ram. I presently have 1 gig. Tradestation says that 1 gig of RAM is fine, but EVERYONE I spoke to said you need at least 4 gig. I have a Dell Dimension 9150 (2 years old) Windows...

    I Have Been Trading Since Before The Internet-1990

    I traded options back then. It was difficult until MacMillan came out with his "Options as a Strategic Investment" book. That was so popular when it came out for the option trader. That was THE book.

"liquidations can take place if the firm feels the account faces the possibility of turning negative." It doesn't matter how YOU feel. It matters how THEY feel. They felt it to be a risk. I'm...

    I Have Been Trading Since Before The Internet-1990

    You youngsters. You're so young. I remember dying to get the newspaper to find out how my stocks did the day before. The only way to get a real-time quote was to call your personal broker, do the pleasantries, then ask for the quote. And even then, he had to call the floor while you are on hold...

    Which datafeed do you use for Canadian Stocks?

    It depends on the number of transactions that you make, not how much money you have. Call the TD Waterhouse Active Trader desk at 1-866-247-1114. Just ask them how many transactions do you need to make to get the 7$ commission. Hope this helps.

    Well, things have changed. You are correct about the previous service, but now they have a pretty good reliable direct access platform that they just started called Active Trader Plus. The Active Trader Plus customer service is excellent.
