    Camtasia to record trading

    I just have to figure out how to get it onto my trading comp, if I don't buy it. My trading computer isn't connected to the internet but to a direct line to the exchange.

    Camtasia to record trading

    Hello, anyone have expirience using camtasia? I would like to use a product to record some of my trading to review later for educational purposes. My drawback to camtasia is there are some reports its a bit resource intensive when using it, and I don't want to bog down my trading computer...

    Thread for big locals/scalpers, 1000 rt's/day or more

    Out of curiosity, what would lead you to assume I don't keep that information about my own trading?

    Thread for big locals/scalpers, 1000 rt's/day or more

    You're hitting on something there. Looking more at what general area's are "buys" vs. "sales" ...as rudimentary as it sounds is a better way to think when your scalping. It helps you decide when its worth it to take heat or not.

    I found Madoffs money

    It was never really there. The numbers were lies and the returns paid out was just the principal of the new investors.

    Thread for big locals/scalpers, 1000 rt's/day or more

    Thanks for the words of caution but I've been doing this for awhile, I think I'll be ok. :) btw, I didn't ask for help, I wanted to create a dialogue with others like myself. Scalping in this fashion is very different than how most ET'ers trade, there aren't a lot that do it anywhere, and...

    Thread for big locals/scalpers, 1000 rt's/day or more

    I appreciate giving me your number, but I'm curious as to what you'd want to discuss? Do you trade in this fashion as well? You didn't say much about yourself other than to call?

    Thread for big locals/scalpers, 1000 rt's/day or more

    Scaling out is probably the best approach, however in practice it's sometimes more difficult than you'd think. Here's why: moving size like 100 lots is tricky. You need liquidity for a fill, and often you're risking losing a winner if you don't get out when the liquidity lets you. If I'm...

    Thread for big locals/scalpers, 1000 rt's/day or more

    I think there are a few others here. I trade futures, often up to 2500 rt's or more, usually looking for small scalping opportunities. I'd like to improve my trading such that I'm not only scalping for small winners but also building a position for a larger (several tick) move. I tend to...

    "In 2015, Mr. Martinez said, his monthly payments will be $12,000 a month."

    Yeah I know, did he just get a dvd player? Or just get the money to buy 50 dvd's a month? Makes ya wonder. Alternatively, if he's willing to spend money and wants to build a library of movies, why not blue ray? I don't think an intelligent argument exists for the reasoning behind...

    Hearing Chicago MERC trader commited suicide after blowing out

    Well put. I think Pabst, myself, and whoever he quoted might look at the 'biz a little differently. When you clerk on the floor for locals and get to know that culture, its just different. I don't know how to explain it otherwise. But as mentioned above, it becomes your identity, who you...

    Trading internationally...if the US crumbles

    Seriously, anyone thought of this? Where would be a good place to trade if the US goes to such shit we want out. I like to be prepared for all circumstances. Wasn't it Buzzy Schwartz that kept gold bars in a safe in his apartment?
