fwiw, I use ib for good rates and use realtick charting that, I pay for, direct to realtick. I use the basic charting and cme data feed along with nasdaq stocks data and nyse data...cost is 160$ per month for charting and 4.80$ per roundtrip for trading eminies with ib......it works for...

Thanks Gordon, for that definition. In that case my vote is "mu" tuu! :)

Well I did some more looking and MU is the ticker symbol for Micron. :D But that isn't japanese.

metooxx, I was trying to figure out what darkhorse meant....when he said that his vote was "mu" then said it look it up, it's japanese. plumlazy

The kicker was that I had just closed a profitable NVDA long and reversed for an exhaustion clip, when Greenies news hit...lol.....I was whining that day, for real...

meetooxx. Kind of like that day in April 01 when the fed made a suprise cut and I had just gone short 300 NVDA in the low 70's....Almost puked in my trashcan....lol....waited a little while for the madness to wear off and got out a lot better than if I had panicked covered.....also my...

Then I lose $, but take a little time to search for the best opportunity to cut my losses.

"mu" - my Websters says it's the 12 letter of the greek alphabet. Anyone got a japanese dictionary handy?

Originally posted by meetooxx I don't know about you but I will have honored my stop and most likely reversed my position way before any 20 pts against me has/can occur.

Playing "against" can be a costly game for me. So when I find "my houghts" wanting to go against the trend, and I can't seem to bring myself to get on board and go with the current trend (for whatever psychological reason of the moment) I will usually choose to stay in cash, rather than...

You might want to consider trading small for a while. Good luck in your trading. Plum

I'm pretty sure that a mini contract is about 1/5 of a regular contract and the 'e' stands for electronic entry as opposed to a floor trade. Call me newbie too if ya wanna. That's what Iv'e been calling myself for a couple of years.:)

I can't speak for anyone else, but for every job I ever had there was a ration of crap that went along with it. So I picked the job(market) with the ration of crap that I am willing to put up with and attempt to make the best of it.:)

When I take quick gains instead of letting them run, I suppose it gives me an immediate feeling of being a winner. ( I can easily see where this can be associated with addiction) I got a fix, feel better, let me see if I can get another one now. Also there is some fear of 'being...

I respectfully disagree. I believe 1% average gain per day is doable for most accounts. Especially for small accounts. 50k account x .01 = 500$ isn't it ! = +25 NQ pts. 5k account x .01 = 50$ isn't it ! = + 2.5 NQ pts. So does it mean that if I can achieve this, then...

graeco, I never checked but I would think the browser based platform would take up the least amount of space on a hard drive. I like the stand alone (java script version) for logging on. I have a 'trader work station' icon on my desktop and I click on it. enter my username and...

Silk, I can help you with risk management. The next time that you consider loading up heavy against the trend, just wire 100k to my account and the next day, I'll wire 95k back to your account. :p
