TraderKay, I don't know about you, but when I decide to take a day or so off, from a several day drawdown period, I papertrade. I don't believe that it has anything to do with my method being flawed or not. I believe that it has more to do with my mind being flawed. Papertrading can...

The market will open at 9:30 am. The greater trend is currently down. However, it could very well not do a whole lot in either direction and mostly just chop, chop, chop. Most likely if there is any significant move, it will be in the direction that "THE BOYZ" decide to push it. My job...

All from trading, and as a matter of fact the wife and I are looking to upgrade to a newer cardboard box soon. The grocery cart rolls pretty smooth too, got a newer one of those last week.:D :D :D

Thanks for the heads up, Ken. I have been running an older slotted p3 550 and have been considering the p4. My intention was to use a gigabyte board since the p3 gigabyte board that I am currently running has served me well. I have one agp g450 setup and just last week bought a pci g450 to...

I worked on Saturdays for 20 years, what's your point.

What a fine rainy Saturday morning in the Carolina's. Hope the Gamecocks can at least show up for the game against Georgia. Now, about this post from Mr. Secco: It would seem to me that secco might be onto something. I can't derive that secco is not happy or that he loses money in the...

If I accidently buy when I meant to sell or vice versa, I get out as fast as I can. Waiting and hoping to get out even is not wise. I did it once. I also put a ski-boat in the water without having the plug in....'ONCE'........... :eek:

Heck, if I could afford to pay that much for a book, I probably wouldn't need it !!!

Maybe I'll start a thread on how not to do it. To date it should at least be as useful as this thread :p

I suppose my first post didn't really have anything to do with technical analysis, more like trial and error analyisis. I didn't really stick to the topic. Sorry

One sure way to find out the strength of a trend is to trade against it. :p Now I know ya thinking that this is a wiseguy answer. But it's not meant to be. Sometimes, my on belief of what the market "should" be doing just doesn't line up with what the market is doing, so when I have...

I suppose that is also true for accomplishing success. Of course my loquacious dim witted peon view of true success might be different from some others.:p Losing doesn't make me a loser. It makes me a student. Being a student doesn't make me a loser either. What can make me a...

Tony, Let me just say this. Losing at trading, does not make me a loser. It makes me a student. Thanks for sharing, plum

And I thought I was the only one that did the firecrackers and little green army men thang :D Anyway RS7, My biggest losing days have also involved trying to play catch-up after a bad start and it sure is difficult, at times to be disciplined enough to take myself off the...

I enjoyed the superego deal - it was fun to read - there was even some substance to the moving average trading method. I like the serious threads, I like the comical threads, I like the the ones that are mixed with some of both. This aint grammar school - this is EliteTrader.com -...

11:59 am and my NQ price reads 954 x 10,569 - does that mean I can short 10,568 and cover 954...:D

quotes are stopped but orders filled, that's different!!!:p

I am not defending ib here, I agree that the support should be better and a knowledgable "person" should answer the phone - that is able to quickly take traders flat when need be. I used to be a longhaul trucker - owner/operator and if/when my diesel puked, I was out no less than 8k for...

Originally posted by Huios Huios, I have been reading your journal and I want to say that I have the utmost respect for you. When you say, "I am doing a miserable job", please don't be too hard on yourself. I would be willing to bet that the vast majority of...

AllenZ, How true, how true!! :p
