I think you are setting your sights far too high. My brother, who is, far more likely than not, a better trader than the vast majority of people on this board, has traded that contract for the past two years and is only averaging 12 points per week. It doesn't sound like much, but multiply it...

You'll probably consider me one of those "elistist traders" with what I'm about to say, but I can assure that, since I'm not yet trading (not even decided that I want to), I am most certainly not. Your failure to answer my question as to whether or not you have "done it" only confirms my...

axeman, on what basis are you considering these people to be "bright"? On the amount of knowledge they have on a certain subject? If we are to judge "brightness" by how much knowledge (and the ability to explain it) a person has, how can not attending an institute of higher education be...

At least five years? That seems rather excessive. If you are a daytrader and you haven't managed to achieve consistency after five years I think you should probably begin seriously considering that perhaps you aren't really cut out for it. I know that if I don't manage to do it within a...

I don't find very much useful information contained on that site. There is quite a lot of talk and insight into what is happening, or has happened, but very little I can base any trading decisions on. My brother thinks they are completely worthless as all they ever talk about are "buy this...

Will this new ESignal have realtime volume data for European Futures contracts? The reason I ask is because I would like to be able to construct tick charts from the feed.

Buying for the long term simply is a good strategy to employ. I know traders like to think they are smarter than everyone else and that they can produces returns far in excess of what the market returns, but the fact remains that the vast majority don't. It does require an investment horizon...

If any of you are interested, I have thought of a way to get around the PDT ruling. It's not conventional and it's not a complete solution and it does require a little bit of messing around but in the end you'll be able to place a few trades per day. I'd rather not post it in public though...

Can I ask you, aphexcoil, how you ever intend to actually do that work you refer to when all you do is post your life away on this website?

hiaiooo, Can I ask you, have you done it? In other words, why should anybody listen to or believe you? I originally thought I had stumbled onto quite a gold mine with this site, but the more I read the more it seemed to me that there are quite a few people here that in no way, shape or...

I'm obviously new here, but I've spent the better part of a week reading through the posts on Elite Trader. With wonderful (ahem) posts like that I see why you get laughed at so much.

This isn't going to go down too well for a first post, but the advice you were given is actually quite sound. And, depending on whether or not you are actually making money as a trader - which, no offence, isn't really likely - it might be a very good idea to do it. I wouldn't bother with...
