I love Retrospect by Dantz, works with all kinds of devices, VERY well thought out. Do not have much experience with it on windows machines, but for mixed offices (Mac & PC) there is nothing better imo

In his book "Come into my trading room" Alexander Elder recommends doubling size when profitable for at least two weeks. Scale back after one losing week. I think this is pretty good advice. Do not start to think of what you are missing and how much you could have made if... Just focus...

I have the same problem, but otherwise it is fine. Usually when I move my laptop from the office to my home, TWS reports a wrong average price and sometimes a wrong positionsize, but later it somehow updates and then it is all right. I used to have this especially with the previous...

May and June were great for me, than july came, and that was a terrible.:mad: The last 2 weeks I have been profitable again. Usually I daytrade as a swingtrader: only buying stocks with good daily patterns and after they break hi or lo of previous day. However I trail on swings on the...

It is really great how you seem to find a connection in probably unrelated things. Most traders wake up every day. And most traders lose money trading. Since I realized this I have stopped waking up. I had my best year ever. No losing trades at all! It really works, try it. I would...

You must be very lucky. How do you go about finding these people? I am very interested. I have never heard of anyone teaching about trading for free. This is not meant in a negative way, I just have never seen that happening. I am just curious... :D

only if the stop is too tight... No stop means an indefinite risk for short positions, and a maximum loss of the value of your stock for long positions. How do you make money if you size your position so that 2% risk is the value of your stock? If a stock increases 100% you only make 2% of...

IMO trading without any stoploss whatsoever is a recipe for disaster. The stop loss protects you from unforseen events. Just that the odds are against a certain event happening does not mean it will not happen. Anything can happen. And it will. Ask Niederhoffer...:(

I am hesitant to add another comment to this thread after reading about your interests: (Inosanto/LucayLucay Kali, Panatukan (Fillipino Boxing), and Brazillian Ju-Jitsu) :eek:

Does it have to be a losing proposition for him then?:confused:

Maybe he just likes to teach others. Does that mean he has to do it for free? :( :confused:

I thinks there is a slight difference between 100% return on 75.000 or 100% return on 20 billion :)

There is always a first time for everything:D

What is so funny/strange/unaccaptable of this?:confused: Worst case: you lose 1000 and learn something. Best case: you learn the something from a good trader Seems good value to me... So what if he get paid if he does his job well? Everybody wants to get something for their...

I am on IB, and everything worked fine. In fact, I did not even know that anything was wrong until I read the paper this morning. Funny, uh However, I am located in Europe, so probably I am routed through another server. My jts.ini file says: Peer=gw2.ibllc.com:4000 Do all users have...

Thanks for the link. Very interesting...:D

I use Investor R/T by Linnsoft. Pretty fast and versatile scanner. More options then you could imagine. UI takes getting used to. Has some quirks. Works with most dataproviders, but e-signal is probably best. I have tried a lot, but for my stuff there is nothing better. If you want to know...

I have tried that. Works best combined with a (failed) break of previous day high or low. For example look at SBC today. Broke previous days high, but then failed, put in a nice reverse cup and handle kind of pattern and would have made for a nice profit and good r/rw In my experience...

That would be nice. I am not familiar with your trading style. Would you be willing to discuss your strategy? From what I understand it is swing trading. But do you watch positions intraday?
