Canyonman, Do you use the Earthlink wireless connection for trading? I'm wondering because when I looked at their site, it shows various data limits (5,10,15... each one is more expensive) per month. With charting software running every day, and a trading platform, plus all those ET pages, it...

DOW E-Mini. Symbol: YM. Each DOW point is $5. There is also a $2 DOW contract, but I think it's dying. Liquidity is good, but nothing like the ES. CBOT is giving free data to encourage traders to look at it. Cheer, kp

One of the 'online data services.' :D

How long did it take for life in the United States to get back to 'normal' after winning the Revolutionary War? How long was it after Lee surrendered to Grant for hostilities in the South to end? Reconstruction? The Klan? What about Germany after WW I? WW II? How long did it take to...

"Pit Bull" by Schwartz

Fits even better. :p :D Cheer, kp

Vision, A couple thoughts. It seems to me that it is desirable to be out of the market, and take small bites--like you describe in your journal. 'Chronicles..." Increased time in the market means increasaed risk. If you are holding for a longer period of time the odds of being hit by a 3rd...

Why did Brother Bright blow a fuse? It's what keeps brokers and sellers of market training awake at night: fear of independent audit and verification of their claims, calls and results. Maybe our friend with his spreadsheet meant no harm and might have even been a disciple of the Bright way...

Surely the answer depends on your trading strategy. If you're a big trend follower then it would probably work, but if you're trying to scalp or trade for a couple points here and there, then you could find slippage is huge. I'm sure that sometimes the SPY chart leads the ES, but I would bet...

PLUUHEZE! Doesn't Netzero also bombard you with ads and have their own software you need to dial in with? For $9.95 a month good old Compuserve will give you a dialup internet connection. Although they were bought out by AOL, I recently discovered you can still get the service. I cancelled...

Hey Chasman, Do you find that J-Trader takes forever to load on dialup? It does for me, and I'd like to know if you have the same experience. Cheer, kp

Just remember, if it was easy, everyone would do it. If it was a matter of following rules and logic, computers would do it. If it was a matter of brains/intelligence then the smart people would succeed. It it was art, then those types would make it. If intuition was the key, then women...

Huh? If you know English, it shouldn't be a problem. :p Seriously, it is well-written and easy to read. He repeats himself quite a bit which helps to get the message across. "Trading in the Zone" is definitely one of the most-important books for a trader. Cheer, kp

Oh, one more thing... The spoils go to the backtesters. kp

My friend, be realistic. The failure rate in this industry is around 90%. I know I'm going to be flamed for this, but you must plan to fail. By that I mean your current $40K will be gone in the next year. If you don't like that, then don't trade! If you can deal with that reality, develop a plan...

Here's a conversation I had not too long ago. Q:So, What do you do? A:Oh, I do a lot. Q: Yes, But how do you make a living? A: Oh, I'm a peddler. Q: Peddler? A: Yeah, buy and sell stuff online. Paper, pigs, coins, that kind of stuff. Things peoploe need and like to collect. :D Q...

Remember, the spoils go to the back-testers! Cheer, kp
