Do you have a link on how to do that?

No slogans. If you're disciplined in your every day life you're likely to be disciplined in your trading. Discipline comes with experience and a venture through the school of hard knocks. Once you graduate you don't want to go back for more study, which lends itself to disciplined trading...

200 trades per day is A LOT of trades. At one point I was doing 40-50 per day by taking just every trigger the market offered me. Nowadays I choose wisely on my triggers. I wait for the best the market has to offer and take roughly 5-10 trades per day. In my case, less is definitely more...

Vote them out? It's going to be impossible. Romney will likely win the Rep nomination (I realize it ain't over yet) so we'll have a choice between him and Obama -- two Wall Street puppets with Romney being the worst of the worst. Every candidate we get to choose from is sent directly from...

It really does make you question the sanity of the whole situation. Buyers knowingly bought houses they couldn't afford, banks willingly lent them the money to buy these houses they couldn't afford, and the government encouraged banks to lend this money to buyers so they could buy houses they...

The fact that you are playing puts doesn't make you evil, it makes you an opportunist. But...in a market that goes up almost every day I have to question the logic of your strategy. If you spent your time searching for opportunities on the bullish side you're likely to find plenty of stocks...

Classic answer that will lead to immediate failure. Trading is an art and requires the ability to untuitively know when to hold them and know when to fold them, know when to walk away and know when to run. Why do so few make it in Gambling? Why do so few make it in Baseball? Why do so few...

If you convert your $1000 bill to a $1 bill it would take $4T to reach the moon. Where does that put us in the Solar System, Mars? Or...if we go the other way Venus? No wait! If we go to Venus those useless pieces of paper would incinerate.

+1 Most make the mistake that happiness is rooted in materialism. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Happiness indeed comes from within.

The direction of the market is decidedly up. There is only one position to be in and that's long.

Oh so true. If you are disciplined and live a healthy life outside of trading that will carry over to trading. A good nights rest, a healthy diet, exercise, and perhaps a hightened level of spirituality will rub off on your trading. Also, having the support of a loved one is tremendously...

There will be no 2012 market crash, especially considering it's an election year. Absent that, there still wouldn't be a crash. It's going to be a low volatile grind up for the most part. There will be a few sharp corrections but they will be buyable. Let's set a date of 12/31/2012 to see if...

Bernanke has mentioned the "wealth effect" of rising stock prices many times since rates went to zero so yes! It was all part of the big plan. Just because it wasn't mentioned at the time rates were doesn't mean it wasn't part of the plan.

You're gonna get math questions that will test your ability to do math in your head like off the wall questions like, "What is the surface area of the John Hancock," which was one of the questions I got. They aren't particularly interested in the final answer -- they're interested in how you...

Ummm....I haven't even read the article (and won't) but I have a feeling this has more to do with the $7 fee. I switched to Comcast's bundle package a few years back (including VOIP) and it was the biggest mistake I ever made. The internet was going down constantly -- no phone. It was a...

I agree. There are certain things I support his views on such as disbanding the IRS but the government would simply find another way of raising revenue should that ever happen. The FED isn't going anywhere. To the best of my knowledge, there isn't a civilized country on the planet that...

That's precisely the problem. The supply of college graduates is far too high because student loans are so accessible. When I went to school this wasn't the case so I did two years at a Community College and then transfered to a two year university. Not long after, I completed a Master's...

I would agree with this. I've heard some good things about R for statistical analysis but I've yet to explore that language. To the OP I'd recommend C# before C++. It's a little more user friendly and easier to learn, jmho. I studied C++ because when I began developing code C# didn't even...

Dscovering this is a great revelation for you. The masses will reject the thought that the market is random because if it is it renders their strategy meaningless. Nothing could be farther from the truth. There are tools to analyze randomness -- statistical analysis, stochastic calculus...

All these tools are useful. I use C++ and SQL to do similar thing that you are doing. I'm currently making the transition to C# as it seems to be the flavor of the day as well as Java but C# is my chosen path. The Holy Grail does exist but it can only be found within you. You can become...
