Been thinking about getting one for the past few months, thanks for thei nfo!

hey brock, how does Java-based programs run on it? pretty spiffy? I'm curious particularly with IB's TWS.

Your words would have more meaning and weight if you weren't a woman :p

Tell me, how do you really feel about Cramer? :p While not on FSLR, I loaded up 2000 shares of CSUN just waiting for a quick bubble-type run on these things - China + Solar... can't go wrong. It's 18k I'm willing to "invest" into a possible 5-7 bagger. I think solar stocks have ways to go...

Why don't you just add another column. I got two columns, change and change (%) on the layout.

I've had the same happen to me, accidentally sorting a column. Like def said, you can restore using an older xml file. The ability to disable the sorting would be great though.

Um... I had a 12k account around Feb last year that is around 76k right this moment and I traded very conservatively. I didn't withdraw anything since I have another account that generates my income. So yeah, it's possible to generate a decent return on 5k.

Same with me, I am a very competitive person but I think the violent tendencies come from the fact I was in competitive martial arts before - Taekwondo and Jiujitsu. So maybe that's why my anger manifests itself in the form of violence :confused: I have been better about it since that...

I hate to break this to you but eventually, you'll come to find out that by the time things line up perfectly and become obvious to YOU for a bull run to happen, you'd already be about 1 year behind. Do not trade the stock market based on "obvious" information. It ain't that easy. With all...

Lej, I must have mistaken the OP's question to be return on actual account value. I wasn't saying 3% on margin used. I meant 3% of actual account value would be a reasonable profit target. Which basically means, collecting about 3-4k of credits per 100k account size would be reasonable.

Yeah, not liking this action, it's a bit harder for me to make money this way but it still works with A LOT of patience. I moved over more to ER2 this week and the EUR for a more trendy move.

In a lot of cases, when you encounter a drawdown like that, you feel the market "stole" your money or something along that line. This in turns, leads to needing to get back all the money as soon as possible. Like someone said, don't fund this account, if you're truly ready to trade full time...

Out of curiosity, I looked at your previous journal which you stopped updating - I assume you blew out? And from your past post, you also blew out twice? Am I correct in stating you blew out 3x already doing credit spreads? Quite honestly, I think aiming for 10% or more on credit spreads is...

Reasonable is quite subjective depending on your appetite for risk but 15% monthly? I wouldn't even dream about it. With a credit of 15% on your account, an adverse move against you and you'd be instantaneously wiped out. I'd look at 2-3% a month as somewhat reasonable on a small account...

twice years ago: 38k to 5k then 55k to 10k

Nothing but helpful people on ET! :D well, ended up with just a bad bruise but didn't break anything. And to one of the posters, yeah I do need some kind of punching bag of some sort - that's a good idea.

Anyone of you have looked into managing your anger or temper better during trading? I'm not sure if it's normal but I find myself getting pissed off and angrier now that I'm consistently profitable. I read somewhere that with profitable traders, you can't tell whether they're profitable or...

Newguy, I use Amibroker and it can do what you want if I understood you correctly. Below is a screenshot of my Amibroker. The bottom tabs, called sheets, can be customized with TRIN, indicators, etc in reference to the Instrument selected to the left.
