I hate when people write stupid comments, but I have to on this one. You seem to be a very angry person. Trading sounds more like a heart ache to you than one of passion or respect. I'd advise you to give it up all together and move on to something else. If trading does not make you feel...

GG, the camel thing actually is about a camel through the small doorway of a city ( also known as a needle I believe). It's a tight fit but it's possible. Lots of people think it's a sewing needle but it's not. The passage is not saying you can't get into heaven, it's just that it's more...

GG, very glad you have bigger balls than most here. You at least are willing to post your idea's and admit when you are wrong. Great traders can't be always right. They just need to cut there losses quick. Keep it up.

GG, how many points you up today? Hope you keep ringing your cash register!

Limit down was just giving a heads up to anyone out of kindness. No need to blast him.

I love how since the market has gone up this past year every one is thinking they are geniuses. I've seen the new infomercial for wizetrade and they take all the credit for the money they make. Not giving any credit to the fact that a rising tide raises all boats.

Nueral nets are very complexThey try to analyse and sift through a large amount of data and make associations. Look at Vantage Point software. I think that they are over rated though for trading. If they were so good then someone really rich would spend millions making the most complex nueral...

Why would you (in a right mind) call yourself THE ONION> What a dork. He should call himself The A$$H@LE. Either way, anything for a good laugh. Maybe CNBC should hire him t o make a Beavis and Butthead type investment show. I think we can find someone here (will not say names..) to play...

Read Pit Bull. Shwartz was a ex marine. I have it on audio tape and he'll start saying to himself (when the sh** hits the fan)"Gosh dangit Shwartz, on you feet"........then he'll say "Once a Marine, always one." I think it really helped him with his drive and canceling fear. Read it and he...

Yes you can do it with out having a tradestation account. But, it will cost more and if you have the extra money I'd just leave it in the account and collect the slight interest. I think you'll save around $100 a month.

TendFader, I agree that it does boil down to practice. But, If you read alot of Bio's by top traders you'll see that most of them had a mentor. Usually someone showed them the ropes on what to do/not do. But, they did take it to a new level. Also most of these Guru's who had no mentor's and...

Samson, here's a link to Running Bears thread full of links. There I think you'll find what you are looking for. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=27875

Thanks for all the insights. It all makes perfect sense now. Crappy commisions, horrible fills and low volume. With electronic trading, who'd want to go back. Thanks again to all who replied.

Was talking to a broker last night and was told that future's traders are drying up. Not the emini/index futures or the metals. No, I am talking about the grains, meats and tropicals. I see the coffe thread, but not much about the others. Just curious is this was true. These are what got...

Max, sounds like a very cool journal. I'll make sure to read this one. I'm glad your trying to go after what makes a winner. Enough of my jab, good luck around here and I look forward to your insights.

slick rick, not trying to sound like a ass or something, but Velez sucks on his tapes. I've watched them and they seemed to be made for 1st graders. Maybe Ramoutar is better though. I sure hope so. Either way I had to put my 2cents in because I was so unimpressed with them (also I waited for...

There are many different methods to trade with. Some work good in different markets, some work good in different time frames. I think you need to tell us what exactly you are looking for, as the road is endless. remember one thing though- the strategy is really not that important. Money...

Yes, it's sad for the younger generations. It will be near impossible for the average young family to afford a home. In San Diego, the worst condo's in the worst area's are going for $250K+. The people who already own homes,will have their property value's increase. But, for others it's...

No nonsense, I think the egyptians removed brains because they thought you did not need it. It was the heart that was the mind. Maybe it's the soul that makes you go the extra mile.

Harry Trader, I think it was a interesting post. Even if it's not all true, it would make for an interesting conversation. Hope you have a great trading year regardless.:)
