Huios, First off - thanks for having the stones to post this. I'm a new trader myself and find your journal very helpful. I have a suggestion for you. Stop trading your cash account for a while or so and go back to simulated trading to test drive all these new approaches and trading...

Amen. Monica Lewinsky had a longer and more recognized history of civil service than W! I don't know about you but I at least expect my president to be able to stand toe to toe with the press and answer serious questions. This assclown can't say hello without a teleprompter and a dress...

Well I have a Mac G4 running OS 10 sitting right next to my P4 running Win2k. the Mac OS is FAR more stable than the windows machine, and the integration between the Mac OS and hardware, the superior security, and far more cohesive API and software integration put the Win2K box to shame. I...

Don't you guy's keep an updated economic calendar? The Street publish one each week. If you don't want to end up on the wrong side of a move like today's 12:00 Philadelphia Fed announcement you MUST be aware of these report releases. http://www.thestreet.com/markets/databank/10027201.html
