Savage, I think that you are asking a question that can only be answered by yourself, because none of us know your trading system. The way that I would go about finding an answer to your stop loss question is to paper trade your method. Try using a 1.0 point stop loss and see what...

I think these are the same guys that ran Farr Financial as mentioned in Matrix's comment. I used to have an account with Farr Financial and closed it due to poor customer service. At the time I had my account with them, they cleared through PMB and were using the PMBe platform. I like the...

Magna, thanks for the reply. So, it looks like the best thing to do would be to upgrade all three of the computers to Windows 2000 pro?

Does anybody know if there are any problems with networking computers which have different operating systems? I currently have three machines that are all running Windows 98 which are networked through a cable router. If I upgrade one or two of the machines to Windows 2000 pro, will this cause...

The only thing that I know of that may be a factor in the decline in volume is the holiday shortened week. No trading on Good Friday. Volume should be even lighter tomorrow.

Hapaboy For delayed e-mini charts, try http://www.quote.com In the enter symbol field, enter ES2m, then select live chart from the drop down menu to the right, then submit. That will take you to an e-mini S&P chart with time and sales to the right of the chart. I believe the chart is...

JPB I went back and looked at all of the trades you posted. 43 total trades, 24 winners 19 losers. Your average winning trade was approximately $125 and your average losing trade was approximately $172. This does not include commissions, so your average net winner is something less and...

White, the thing that keeps me from overtrading or taking trades that are not set up properly is my trading plan. You must have strict rules that you follow to enter a trade. I keep my entry and exit rules next to my computer and review them from time to time to make sure I do not take a...

One thing that has helped me a lot is to keep a record of all of my trades. Usually, you can go back and review your bad trades and it will be obvious where your mistakes are. Your goal should be to learn from your mistakes and use strong discipline to stick to your trading plan so you will...

JPB, If you are profitable in the mornings and giving it all back in the afternoons, I would suggest only trading in the mornings. If you are worried about losing trading experience, why don't you paper trade in the afternoons until you can prove to yourself that you can consistently make money...

Jim, I have been using Index Advisors for a little over one month now. So far I have been very happy. Let me know if there are any specific questions I can answer.
