This book is nowhere to be found. How can I get access to it? and has anyone here read it?

Day 18 There is no END in Sight.. # of Disasters: 2 I have a long ways to go. I have way too much to learn. Even though I've finally become profitable, thats just jerking around with order flows and I am sure that isn't technically "trading" but rather just screwing around. I need to...

Not many sellers. They know its going to go a lot higher... looks like they are holding back on selling.

Its a pain in the ass to move STOPs, and PROFIT targets. You have to actually click on it and scroll it back and forth as oppossed to just clicking it where you want it to be. Thats a big part of my trading.

DOM is ineffective. I cannot see if the bids are being hit at or asks are being hit at since the last order executed is in the middle. With that to the side, it was a lot easier to see, and without much thought.

Ray, can you keep NT v.4 open little while longer?

The individual price rectangles in the DOM are so small. No matter how big you make the font, its so tightly bound together. The price windows (rectangles) are so small, while DOM is way too big (width wise).

The letters/numbers on the DOM are so small I could hardly see anything. This right now looks like some generic POS order software you get from Transact or something. And DOM is a very important part since thats what someone might look at all day. No matter what other improvements were...

Day 17 Time Management.. # of Disasters: 0 (I didn't trade :D ) I need to get things done, use my time wisely so that I can trade everyday and that is especially important for me at this formative stage of my trading career. I had a swing trade on from yesterday, but it is...

Jas, you're on a posting spree today. 8 posts today already, whats that.. thats 133% of all posts you had over the last 2 years. See how much better we all feel now, just to get our thoughts off the chest and into the intraweb?

Disasters = even a small move in my stop. Sometimes I have a tendency to move my stop behind huge size orders. I am very stringent with my own rules. I understand that even if I break a seemingly simple rule, it will lead to more destructive behaviors. Thus, I am trying to nib even a small...

All the negative people around here drove all the good traders away. :p

Did you decide to do something about it? oh you did.. you made a post about it. And you decicated your 6th post in 2 years for that. Brilliant.

Day 16 A trader must TRADE.. # of Disasters: 2 I need to put myself in position to trade the whole day b/c after all I am a trader. I also need to start making some money, I need to shoot for living wage. Trade to not make a mill, but to buy burgers and stuff. I seriously need to get...

edit: I am sure you meant to say 1.15

So, the market goes up when more contracts are short? :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

I was a winner from my very first trade. Long MAGS for +2 or so points on a swing trade. I thought it was that easy.

The market goes up when more traders are LONG and it goes down when more traders are SHORT. Yet, why is there so many losers? 95%?

Three things to keep in mind when you look for a broker: 1) Number of years in existence. (I think Refco was only 35 years or so. You need something way more than that.) 2) Cash flow generated from operating activities is a good indication of financial stability. 3) Go with a...

Thoughts: Newbie traders are genetically programmed to destroy themselves. You are incapable of taking a loss; and when you have a profit, you take it way too fast. Because thats what feels good to us. Thats what makes us happy. Not taking a paper loss isn't really a loss, is it...
