    IE6 crashing on submitting

    I tried the CA app myself. Getting most of it isn't the answer. I eventually had to take my machine to a service tech. If you have skills you can get the info to manually remove the worm yourself on the Symantec website. By the way, the latest worm is called "Sasser" and the patch for it was...

    Risk Management

    Hi qtip: For me, any small success that I have come by has been because I was willing to try things that made me uncomfortable. Scaling in was (and still is) one of those things. First, I do not scale in unless I see the potential for a continuation trade. Today for instance, it would be...

    Risk Management

    Hello: In my opinion, risk management is the difference between breakeven profits and real profitablilty. You have to look at your style of trading to see what you can do. For instance, I am often using a scalping technique during the slower summer months. I trade 3 times a day. My first trade...

    papers on intraday market behaviour

    Hello Mind: Business schools around the world have libraries of research papers on this subject. You will need to search (google) specific schools and at some point you will need to obtain access to those libraries. Some are available without specific access. Best Regards, Steve46

    CoolWebSearch Problems

    Hey Guys: Just want to mention this for the record. The CWS shredder utility does temporarily remove the CoolWebSearch code but it regenerates and tries to change your browser home page. It may do other things as well. I have my router in place, Norton and Spy Search and nothing permanently...

    CoolWebSearch Problems

    Hey Idoogye: I am sure. I have run a scan using Adaware and it found the code. I just had the machine serviced to remove the new "sasser" worm as well. One thing I have (finally) learned is to NEVER operate without a firewall or a router in place. Cost to me so far. 2 days no trading, and $170...

    CoolWebSearch Problems

    Hello nkhoi: Thanks for that suggestion. I do have that freeware on my machine. I have used it and will wait to see if it works (I hope it is that easy). Time will tell. Once again, thank you. Steve46

    YM in a Can

    Hey Guys: The reference to T-Rex just tickled me. The last time I commented on one of his posts, he suggested that I "idolized" him :D He may believe that there is a "fan club" somewhere amongst these posts. Perhaps he is hopeful that he can sell T-shirts with a picture of his smiling face on...

    CoolWebSearch Problems

    Hey Everyone: I made the mistake of leaving my router disconnected for a while and using Adaware I am seeing the CoolWebSearch malicious code appearing on my machine. Norton does not seem to recognize it, and other programs are not removing it from my registry. Perhaps there is someone out...

    Seykota / Van Tharp / etc seminar?

    Hi: I am not a fan of these short seminars. I don't see much value added in the short or long term from attendance. If you want to see a significant change in your profitability, learn to research, develop a basis for understanding your results by studying parametric statistics, and make sure...

    Scalp Trading Challenge

    Hello folks: It is 7:55am on the west coast and I am done for the day. I wanted to follow-up on this subject, because if I don't I can see that there are any number of inexperienced people who will try this and get burned. Yes the ideas work, BUT not exactly as expressed. For example, if you...

    Rob: I was one of the first subscribers to TradingMarkets way back when it was TradeHard.com. I think it can be a good general resource, but no better in quality than ET. In my opinion they (TradingMarkets) have become marketers of systems, books, and resources that are of minimal value. My...

    I used to disagree with that theory, but at this point I think either way a trader is going to have to pay tuition. ultimately a good trader has to become a good researcher (if not a decent programmer). Depending on the background of the individual, it may in fact be a good way to go (mechanical...

    Hello Folks: Nice to see that my old thead still finds some readers. While I agree that a new trader could learn a lot from DB Phoenix' Thread "Price & Volume", I think the reader can get a lot more out of that thread by first reading "Charting the Stock Market: The Wyckoff Method" written by...

    Scalp Trading Challenge

    Hello Guys: I use methods similar to those. I use NinjaTrader. First let me say that the risk management and position sizing are vital to making this work. The idea of risking 1 pt. to make 1 pt won't fly in the long run. I can tell you from experience. It would be wonderful wouldn't it, if it...

    Tony Oz Newsletter

    Well, after all you are right. There may have been some good reason for him to fail to reply. I did buy (and read) his book titled "The Stock Trader". At the time I was impressed that Tony could make a profit trading long only. In retrospect, you can see how he did it, using a focused scanning...

    Becoming the Top Trader

    While I have a moment, I want to express an opinion. There are over 20,000 members here, but I doubt that there are 1000 who are profitable. Also I notice that many of the best traders post very infrequently. Some who I know to be profitable, or to have a history of being solid professionals...

    Tony Oz Newsletter

    Might be a good trader, but he doesn't seem to understand the idea of replying to an inquiry. I contacted him a LONG time ago, and (you guessed it) never heard from him. Did what I normally do when people flake out. Crossed him off the list. Seems to me that there a more than a few folks in this...

    Some investment advice?

    To most of you: It is gratifying to know you are out there. Without intelligent, thoughtful, critical thinkers like you participating in the world's financial markets, where would I be? I don't want to convince you of anything. Please do not change your world view. Carry on as before. Good...
