    Can an average guy make a living at trading?

    Some of the 'smartest' people in the world fail at trading, and some complete 'idiots' are millionaires. Unfortunately the only way to know whether you 'have it' is to try. Take your nest egg of $XX,000 and make a budget. 1. Buy some educational programs (Get one in the $2,500 range and...

    Selling on E-bay

    Thanks. Good point. I have contacted sellers through their system before to ask questions about the product, and never heard anything from eBay. I was surprised to discover their system 'reads' the message you send and determines if they like it or not. Cheer, kp

    Selling on E-bay

    When you do that, do you get a nasty email message from eBay about deals negotiated outside the system? I just wrote and asked a seller if they had more of a closed item, and in came this un-charitable message from eBay! For clarification, I did use the eBay system to get the seller's...

    TIMES Method

    That is precisely my problem. A long time ago I gave up on trying to use the TI criteria for the trend. Now I use a 5 min, but I must say that it is much more subjective than I would like it to be. How would you describe what is and what is not a trend? Thanks, kp

    TIMES Method

    Yannis and Vision, I'm happy that some folks are having success with the TI system. I have put a lot of effort into trying to make it work--with mixed success. My biggest complaint about the system is that it is touted as being "purely mechanical" and "anyone can learn it" when in the end it...

    TIMES Method

    I've taken the course and do not feel it's worth $4,000. For starters, the TIMES signals do not reliably result in more winners than losers. The success of the system is subjective, depending on your ability to handle a number of factors that say whether or not the trade should be taken. If...

    Trading Technologies simulator

    Sounds great if you open a account with them. Otherwise, $150 is a bit steep. I use the PFG simulator and it costs only $30 a month. Cheer, kp

    Daily (Morning) Routine - Hopefully everyone would participate

    Which time-zone do you live in? My morning routine is to fall out of bed at about 6:20 (I'm on Pacific time), curse myself for not getting up earlier, and try to get through my morning chores before too much of the action has passed! :D kp

    advanced futures and global futures

    168, It comes with the territory. Your trading strategy must factor in these unforseen problems. Everybody has technical problems from time to time--even if you're trading live on the floor things can go wrong. Take note how often people get on the board here and post grouchy things about...

    j trader

    The only drawback in J-Trader is that putting in stops is a little complicated. You cannot put a genuine "Stop" order in, but must use a "stop-limit" or a "hidden stop". If you are long at 850.00 and want to put your stop at 849.00, then you set the stop price to 849.00 and the limit price...

    Is Tradersbrain.com for real ?

    The reason you have to give them your credit card is to pay for the shipping of materials to you. They send stuff out Media Mail, so the cost is really low. I think if you wanted something more quickly, you could pay the extra cost. If you can't handle the risk of giving a legitimate business...

    Oscar Goldman

    He made a presentation to the "Day Traders USA" group here in SoCal back in about October. The thrust of his presentation was learning the psychology of the markets. He had successfully predicted the market crash last summer, and was predicting another one 'soon after the new year'. He...
