Misc: Try deleting the workspace file (.tsw) that had the chart up from 2001 and then startup up your TS7.1. TS7.1 will complain that it can’t open the said workspace, but at least your PC won’t get bogged down. Kermit

I am switching to my back up data provider. It’s one thing to say ‘expected sometime in <month>’ and miss that target, but to already give a date like June 7th and then still push it off, is NOT GOOD…..for TS or their subscribers who urgently need this critical upgrade (already way...

Bobcathy1: I don’t think excessiveness in anything is particularly good. But then, only you can decide what excessive posting and reading of posts is for you. If it’s ruining your edge for trading, then definitely cut back on it. I frequent the ET boards to get fresh ideas and see if...

Prospect: That was a big problem of mine at one time until I was able to “detach” past trades from what’s going on the in market at this moment. It boiled down to a matter of controlling my focus. If I kept my focus on previous losses, it’s just going to stir up a mental storm of...

Windows XP Pro here, and liking it. Kermit

One way is to press the PrtScr key (<shift>PrtScr or <Fn>PrtScr> on some keyboards) to do an entire screen capture. Then paste it to a Word document and print it. Kermit

By consistently trading all your low risk, high probability setups (your edge here), keeping losses small and manageable when the trade doesn’t work out and extending your profits when the trade does work out. The E-mini markets are going to do what they're going to do anyway, leading vehicle...

Larrybf: I use a medium time frame as a filter; to get a better “picture” of the pattern I am interested in before surgically entering/exiting using a smaller time frame. Also, if there is setup on a large time frame, I can use it as a framework to pyramid my position using, again, the...

I’d be interested too. How is that accomplished via 2000i’s Global Server? Kermit

Yep, TS’s ES data was very slow this AM. Placed my first stop order to go long this morning at 9:41am but was rejected because market was already trading way past my price and the TS chart wasn’t showing it yet. For the rest of the morning, I just traded by keying off of my J-Trader’s...

Unconscious competence!

Flashboy: I think it’s very important to have your rules down on hardcopy that you can go over before each trading day. For me, I also keep graphical representations of my setups with the pertinent system criteria in visual form on 2 or 3 sheets of paper mounted right next to my monitor...

Jayford: If you like pit reports, the closest I can think of is tuning into a squawk. There, besides just the quote, the broadcaster will periodically report who’s doing what, pit population attendance, # of contracts traded, fib levels, pivots, …etc. ,and of course background pit noise...
