Thanks guys for the suggestions. I was hoping for a cheap fix, but it sounds like I need a complete makeover.:(

I'll check it out. Thanks!

Any constructive recommendations?

Unfortunately, I missed several trading opportunities today after the release of the FOMC policy statement, because my charts and trading platform could not keep up. What hardware and software items should I upgrade to mitigate this problem going forward? -CPU: 1.3 GHz with 640 MB of RAM...

Has anyone switched from RCG to GHCO? If so, is there a noticeable difference in performance?

What trading platform do you use?

Is there any new info about the Onyx platform?

Fortunately, I was long that Friday morning (pre market) and reached my daily target prior to the open; therefore, I was done for the day.

The stop is my last option (I only use it when I’m not certain). I prefer to average up, down, or reverse instead of using a stop. Before I enter the market I'll try to imagine all the possible outcomes and then develop a plan for each. Just my 2 cents.

Make sure you have a plan for those occasional breakout days or you will blow up.

Is it faster than RCG?

A good number of traders and gurus are more than willing to openly share their specific entry methods, but few will share how to manage and exit trades. The answers you seek are more than likely here at ET, but you have to keep searching for hints and clues (that’s why I’m here).

Thanks! I'll check it out.

This is why I never try to interpret and trade the news.

How does Strategy Runner match up to X-Trader?

Ripley, Is your trading style similar to the Flipper (Paul Rotter)? http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=49425&highlight=paul+rotter http://www.rotterinvest.com/

Quote Tracker is free. It requires an outside source/feed in order to give you real-time charts for intraday trading, which you should be able to get free from Scott Trade, during the installation process (you will be required to register with them and provide your url and a password)...

I agree with your approach. My daily goal is 2 ES points then I’m done for the day (which is generally accomplished by 1100 EST). I prefer to be consistent and increase contracts overtime to make more money. More importantly it helps me to better manage stress. Trading all day, five days out...

I used $tick for awhile and it was helpful for micro scalps; however, I was too dependent on it, which negatively impacted my trading when my targets were more than 1 ES point. Now I just focus on price.
