Its my fault, I should know better than to download something I know nothing about. I searched my computer using the keyword "PRV" and found a document that was dated 2/23/2007. I put it in the recycle bin and emptied it hoping that would solve the issue but my BookTrader quotes are still...

Well, what I mean is that I have my booktrader up and the current ES contract now shows up with the wrong price (the prices showing are like 1.00, 2.00 3.00 etc). Do you have any idea how I can get it back to the way it was? Any help would be MUCH appreciated (damn I wish I paid attention in...

Oh crap, I opened that PRV and put my user name in and saved changes. Now my IB acct is all f-up. I'm an idiot :) Can anyone help me reverse these effects?

Nice counter to Mr. Balls's arguement (Harry Balls LOL). Its funny how ones behaivor at a certain times can reward us so greatly and the exact same behaivor at another time can be devastating. The market really is incredible at confusing us :) Those who claim they readily learn from...

It doesnt sound like you are following the syllabus :)

Its funny you bring this up, I was discussing this same exact topic with a buddy yesterday. Shaking the whole entry/exit mentality and the benefits of just being on "the right side" of the market. It DOES make things much easier and more fluid. I completely agree.

Here is an idea for ya....dont watch CNBC! :)

For a 17yr old with zero experience...probably not :D

In your first year, you should be much more concerned with not losing your initial 20K rather than how much you can make.

Cash, If you are still making newbie mistakes, shouldnt you just focus on those mistakes and fixing them? Who cares what the pros do, if and when you get there then you'll deal with new issues. Focus on dealing with whats in front of you right now. Baby steps, you'll get there. Steve

Thanks Pr0crast, that makes sense. Kinda what I thought you meant but wasnt sure enough to not ask a ques :)

Would you mind elaborating on this statement a little? How do you look at price and see this exactly? Thanks pro.

I agree, but I couldnt draw my channel correctly b/c I have data from yesterday which stretches out my chart and makes my channels "inaccurate". I am glad someone else brought it up b/c I noticed this issue too.

Am having the same issue as CC. Mak, I know you use esignal...do you have any advice about the aforementioned issue? Also, do you know how to set the scale to 2 pts? I have tried and tried but cant find a way to do it. I am technologically challenged :)

Are you at "Tool" fan? Lateralus is a GREAT album by them.

Spyder used pt. 1 at 3:40 (from yest), pt. 2 at 3:50 and pt 3 at 4:00. This is what I have and makes a nice carry over channel, w/ volitility expansion for this morning open. makes the FTT look nice too at 10:05. Can we use same bar for pt.1 and pt 2 for a channel? Maybe for a "tape" but I...

The carry over channel works great, only thing I see, and I may very well be wrong, is that there is no pt. 3. If you were to adjust it to have a pt 3, it would be a little steeper but fits nicely into todays action. Expanding that channel works great though, FTT very visable to me.

If this is true, thats fantastic! Only down 1.5k after 6 months is nothing in the grand scheme of things. If you are a full time trader, trading 5 days a week, 20 days a month for 6 months and you only find yourself down 1.5K you should really be proud of yourself. I think you'll find...

You need another 4-6 months experience imho. If you are breaking even/losing a little/making a little right now you are on the right track. Keeping your head above water while you learn is a good sign. At some point, if you constantly evaluate and learn from mistakes, you'll start to find...

It does, and I am sure with time and experience I'll be able to identify these more quickly. Thanks!
