LoL! I just looked up 'erudite' before clicking on page five. That's what I like about trading - learn something new everyday.

I must admit! I'm skeeered to use hot keys!

I used to be skeeeerd too. Then I turned age 11, snaggle toothed and brandishing a slingshot made from some strips from a tire tube and part of a shoe tounge for the sling.:D Aint backed away from a whole lot since.

Wired funds is the fastest way to get up and running. Same day or at least next day - trading can be done. Be sure to fill out deposit notification form. (you probably allready did this - first day:) ) Also be sure to download and run the java script - Java Plug-in 1.4.0 or 1.3.1.02 for the...

reg, You wrote "I don't have a defined, profitable trading style yet." I lost approximately 30k before I took the words 'don't' and 'yet' out of the above sentence. I have also been trading about two years, and I still have days that I let 'my thoughts' overide what my method calls...

I'm glad that I am a daytrader. I never need to try to figure out what the market is going to next week.(what a relief !!!) All I have to care about is figuring out through watching several indicators(very few) is what the market is more likely to do in the next several minutes...

One other thing. If I have been waiting for this train(setup) and I don't jump on, then to me it is surely a psychology issue. For one reason or another I haven't accepted the risk of the trade and plain old fear of losing my money has caused me to hesitate, then I watch it run a bit and...

Catch some trains, get knocked off of some, ride some. If you get a decent ride then it was one of the right ones. If not, hang out for a bit, another will come along. Easy enough to see at the end of the day which ones did best. One thing for sure though. If I wasn't on it, I didn't get...

stevieoh, I'm sorry to hear all that. Maybe the worst is yet to come. Since I don't have 2 pc's running, I don't see the data difference. With my style of trading maybe ignorance is bliss. It seems to me that IB's software seeks the best possible price so I...

I only have one computer. If my method calls an entry and I want in, I just pay up for the entry most of the time. I get in plenty fast. I sweep the entry so to speak. If it's dead zone and a slow market I sometimes play market maker scalp a little here and there, but in faster markets, when my...

First let me thank all those that posted on my previous thread: "Satelitte? Does it work well for trading? I have now had the opportunty to trade with newly aquired DirecWay 2/way for 5 trading days. I like it. (trading nasdaq e-minies) Yes, there is some lag. Only, I rarely...

It must be the love of the game, since I still have some money "On Loan to the market" Still staying afloat and learning though.

No I have a sheep! (Baaaaaaaaaaaaa!) or is it sheeple!

More sex = less stress :D I traded today with no stress, but didn't have sex either - I wonder what's up with that :p

You might want to look into trading the nasdaq 100 e-minies (NQ-on IB) or the s&p eminies (ES- on IB). You will be free of the sec pattern daytrader rules and you can also short a downtick. Just something that you might want to consider.

It would seem that with se's explosion onto the ET scene and from what I've read so far, that se came to play with more than just his wang in his hand. If I were a betting man, I'd have to think that he has a plan for posting his trading track record, etc. Seems to me like so far he...

Well, I see that my 1 little no vote stands alone.....lol Nothing personal but I find it difficult to stay connected to the market when being connected to a chatroom. But who care's right :D Have fun !!!

Just thought I'd mention that the latest version of internet explorer works well for viewing these charts (for anyone that doesn't allready have it) If you load the chart and it automatically switches from a close-up view to a further away view that is harder to see. The newest IE, has a zoom...

Positive mental attitude and hope are two different things.

Mainframer, I for one have had the ever loving sh*t kicked out of me on some trading days. Ultimately, I am either my own worst enemy or my own best friend. I can attribute very, very few losses (if any) to bad luck and very few gains to good luck. I do believe that I can...
