Ripley, I studied your chart and annotations (GREAT job with the PDF:) )...here is my opinion: There comes a time in every great traders career when the slack is pulled taut....the 'lightbulb' switches on, so to speak....the corner to consistent profitability is turned. What makes this...

Mine already expired...will that still work? I like the software, def. helps me annotate charts.

A good screenshot software if you wanna buy one is snag it. If anyone knows of a free one I might post a few blotters. I won't be as inspiring as the one's already posted but I think 'putting up' a bit helps keep you honest. I made about $35 today after commissions, lol. It was a victory...

"Buy land, they're not making it anymore" Single family houses were a big investment a few years ago (prolly when your dad got into it)....nowadays stuff like that, and residential real estate as a whole, is becoming a more difficult investment....70% of people are already in real...

I think this is a question where expirienced traders especially can help. If you were asked to help put together a degree in trading for a major university...what areas of study, and what texts would you recommend? What books would be essential to lay the groundwork? What type of...

I have a quote window open with many instruments/indices up on far left monitor, along w/ tape and DOM. The charts that I have up are ES in 15, 5, and 60/Day charts. TRIN, ADD, TICK, VOLD line charts on main monitor below ES. VIX, Crude, and 10 yr interest rate charts on the far...

innnnteresting. Good post. Personally, i've never used bollinger bands w/ stuff I trade....I had one system that used them alot but haven't gotten it to the tradeable point yet. But I do like the 'type' of study they are...i.e. some type of average and some type of channel (to be...

Been a long time since stats but the standard deviation and bell curve idea w/ 95% being within 3 standard dev's....that would be based on the mean....correct? IE in a sample, 95% are within 3 S.D's of the mean. Price in markets though, is different. Looking back, price would fall within...

Not only that...droves of people follow buffet, look how much BUD moved after it was announced he was in it. Don't try to reverse engineer his dollar bet when its pretty sure you don't know when he got into this trade, what his timeframes are, or what other positions are involved.

The nature of the FX market (as I've seen in, from the POV of a small trader) doesn't seem to lend itself to scalping...maybe somebody has a strategy that could make it work though. If your gonna scalp the tight FX consolidation, and you have a way to do it consistently, then that might be...

eh only 7 months....is your day job w/ the US mail? j/k

yeah, and you can just go to fucking, austria, buddy! fun fact: "Bitte — nicht so schnell!" means "Please - not so fast" I was gonna say something else, but I don't think anybody needs help with a joke here.

One more post like that and great trader is gonna punch his monitor as hard as he can. Laundromat => great place to pick up chicks.

Whoa, did niederhoffer run away with your wife or something.

I find that lying is really great in helping you always win. Practice all the time. Just the other day a friend and I were watching TV, and he said, "hey, did you ever see that movie?" I had no idea what he was talking about, but still answered, "Yes." He came back with, "well what did...

10 losses in a row can easily happen to anybody. you should def. plan so in that event, your account will not be put in jeopardy.

What are you trying to accomplish? You asked 'what use are fibonacci numbers in the market'....a few folks responded w/ something to the effect they use them as part of their strategy. What else were you expecting? When you ask a question like this, there are only two types of...

Yes, because rogue experts with internet pages hold the real key to truth and knowledge. http://www.alaska.net/~clund/e_djublonskopf/Flatearthsociety.htm

I'm with the other poster...I'm really not sure why you are trading so big when your strategy appears to have some problems. A 10k drawdown is nothing to sneeze at.

Oh man this thread deteriorated quick. Just to clarify, you asked if 2500 was enough to start...the consenus seems to be that its overly risky....and now its 'wall street or bust' (note, YM trades on chicago board of trade)....and you are going to base trades off just the DOM...no charts? With...
