    March Trading Journals

    hitman, it's hard to say something and hard not too. After all I don't know you or her. So I won't really give you advice on what to do or not. Do you best, you will learn from it whatever you do and whatever the outcome. It's just like trading. It's striking though that the princess seems...

    Backing Traders

    what do you propose ? it is a little too convenient to just come here, throw that out to catch traders or should I say, take advantage of them. In the best case you are just advertising in the worst case it's just a scam. so back up a bit your offer to 'back traders' with details, or just go...

    E mini Nasdaq :buy/sell decision making

    when back testing, one should take into consideration slippage, bad fills etc.. this can be done statistically (check in the past what was typical slippage etc..) if you don't try to back test ultra short scalps, bid/ask don't matter, as long as you take into account slippage. (i think you...

    E mini Nasdaq :buy/sell decision making

    well, no simple indicator works all the time. it's as simple as that. That's why if you backtest a stoch or a rsi or a macd they will all fail in the long run. it's very easy to test that with any backtesting software. therefore traders using these indicators and only them (even in...

    position trading questions?

    on the other hand ktm, do you need a prop firm to do position trading ? unless the trader is actually seeking very high leverage (basically not wanting to risk his own money), and then, you can't really blame the firm. there are all kind of ways to make money on the market. but each one...

    Ensign or Wealth-Lab?

    I did try only Wealth Lab in EOD mode. Ensign I know pretty well, EOD and Realtime. I would say that Ensign is broader. It does more things and is probably better for a programmer. However, the capability of Wealth Lab to analyze multiple stocks (and fast) is really good. No software is...

    List of tickers of US stocks

    OK, but then you must specify what 'TOP' is for you ! of course you can count 3000 stocks. trouble is these stocks won't be actively traded, with low volume they can be useless or dangerous. many brokers will offer you 3000 or 4000 stocks to trade with, just to give you an idea that your...

    Beating Larry Williams record

    indeed, this was plain luck and in another kind of market. sabena's exercise is something else and something really interesting. track record and audit trail.. OK, that's really good. you are going to attract many people. be prepared. if you offer a journal like hitman that would be very...

    emini trading

    I kindly remind everyone that advertising is not our policy. it's OK to answer questions and try to promote, but you have to be more subtle about it :) links to your page is not OK either. to the extent that real trading information is exchanged it can be overlooked, but here, it's just pure...

    Trading to LOSE ... to WIN

    Cesko you are right. I regret this statement. I think it is true in some markets where market makers really do profit from small traders providing 'liquidity'. But I fully agree with you that does not represent the vast majority of trading. I should know better because the things I trade don't...

    What format do you keep your journal?

    also, it might be an idea to add notes : - what was the market action like (tape, level II, T&S whatever you may look at). - how you felt in and out of the trade. when your emotions are causing you to fail, it's very good to be aware of what emotion does what to your trading. - a...

    trade mornings only?

    - trail stop yourself if after your best hours you start to lose, just stop.. good advice earlier : continue with paper trade. you gain experience and smile at losses you avoid. - there are no fixed rules about hours.. sorry. it depends on your trading. if you do multiple time frames like I...

    I did not read the book and I don't know her. But this unanimity is touching :D I am really surprised. First thread ever noone came to trash him/her. That's reason enough to check it out I guess. The HardRightEdge info is useless though. I guess a real trial in the chat room is needed. I...
