Samsung LCD monitors are good. I have a couple of them and like them. But I would advice against LG. I have one LG 22-inch LCD monitor. It has some kind of flickering issue. The screen is not static. Always a bit jumpy. I plugged that in to different computers and the same problem...

You made it sounds like we are morons who don't know what backpacking means. Good advice, bad advice... it depends on how the poster asks a question. You look back at the very first post. It only mentioned "travelling". "Travelling" to many who live in the USA leads to thinking "airport...

You've gotten my attention. What happened on 3/27/09? You met some guru and you were taught a trick to trade and be very consistent? Or you just suddenly figured something out?

700..... License to Be Killed... :D

It is quite possible with 2 DSL or more. Some of the new homes are built with 3 pairs of wires around the house and the phone company is also pre-wired to your demarcation point with 3 pairs. All they need is to turn on the second phone or third phone when you request. If you live in an...

I don't know why you said that. I don't know why people say that. It is always like saying "My way or the highway". Position trading is the only way to make money. Day trading is shit. Christianity is the only true religion. Any other religion is fake. You are, Sir or Madam, the...

Actually the total tax is about 50% (in California.) 34% highest tax rate - that's just the Federal tax (may be increased) 9.3% California income tax 15% Self employment tax (the Social Security portion has a cap of about $100k, the Medicate portion does not have a cap and it's at...

The same wino came in and registered under new names and then blasted off everybody. kull or whatever else names you used. Wino or Sicko. I am not sure.

Guys... Don't get carried away just yet. If you really going to do this, make sure you have some legal, legit stuff to CYA - what happens when your fund runs into a loss for the year. How will it be handled. Make sure your investment partners understand it and agree to it. These things can...

Tell Tiger Wood that he's been just lucky putting golf balls in the hole. Tell Barry Bond that he's been just lucky hitting the baseball with a bat (okay, besides steroid use). Tell Roger Federer that he's been just lucky hitting the tennis ball with a racket. Tell Magic Johnson that...

Many traders desire more monitors while trading. Of course it depends on the individual. One screen works for you? That's great. Some people trade on an I-phone and they love it. Whatever works. I didn't realize you are traveling through Europe as the original post didn't indicate such...

You know... you are forever on my ignore list. I don't usually curse in open forums. You are just too much. You are not only ignorant but arrogant. It is the worst attitude for any individual. Have I ever said using TradeStation makes me a pro? You twist other peoples' words. I said...

I think a salary of $300k is highly unlikely. Salary is what a company will pay you no matter what - whether you gain or lose money for the company. Can you imagine? Losing money and still take a $300k salary? That maybe the salary level of some directors or top executives.

I don't know why I am debating with an amateur. No serious trader will use these freebie, web-based charting software to trade. Trading with delayed charts. No wonder that you would not day trade. If you day trade with these, you would have lost a lot of money. Those are not gaps...

This kind of post is annoying. Read my post again. Who said anything about discrediting positional trading? Who said anything about positional trading is weak? It is about a choice of an approach. It is about risk management. We, day traders, just choose to AVOID a gap risk. I said if...

You should evaluate not by the absolute amount but a percentage. e.g. $200 (commission) / $1000 (gross gain before commission) = 20%. If you spend >30% of your gross gain on commission I think it's too much. You may be trading too hard for your money. But a gain is a gain (better...

The 2 simple mentalities you cited are not entirely true. #1) "Irrational" fear. I don't know why you said they are irrational. You are probably saying "fearing death from a plane crash" is irrational, "fearing your house be burnt down by fire" is irrational. They are not irrational...

Yes it is quite possible. And profitable. I do it everyday. Take a look at SKF on a 42 tick chart. Cause that's what I use to trade. When the (what I called) "Microbursts" come along, you ride it. SKF moves up or down by $1.00 or more in less than 1 minute. On a 1-minute chart what...

Phil: I am sorry about your partner Sam. I am just curious: 1) Is this site (or future site) to be a free site or a for-fee site in offering training and site content? 2) The website content seems to be highly dependent on the trader who is at the core of this site. You are looking...

Sounds like you are setting up your hedge fund more than setting up a club. A club usually means member meetings once a week or a month and they vote on what to buy and whether/when to sell something they held. If you are making trading actions on a daily basis by yourself for the benefit of...
