This thread is too long to read through so if" bungrider" has gave an explanation could somebody refer me to it. thx.

One thing I have discovered is that my profits are inverse to the number of trades on any given day. The more I trade the less I make. Even small commissions add up at the end of the day.

Go ahead and try scalping. Should only take a day or two to realize your mistake.:) Elder recommends learning to swing first but its hard to hold overnites these days so that really only leaves one alternative which is position trading for a few minutes to a few hours.

Which XP are you talking about. The home version or pro? I am using 98 which works pretty good with qcharts but would like to switch to Esignal which I have used before but I had problems with both 98 and 2000. ps: no disrespect intended but your probably a little biased. Would really like to...
