If you want to save yourself some money paper trade both strategies with live data, and if after 200 trades you are nowhere near the projected profit (which will most likely be the case), you will know what I am talking about. The most important thing is: During your paper trading, you must...

That's an interesting apect I am just now starting to observe: Since I have been trading I feel my mind has opened more and more. I am still quite anal, but definitely improving.

I should really do that. I don't have children, but I sometimes find myself excessively criticizing other people. While it probably won't hurt them as much as it would if it came from a parent, it might not be too positive an influence on their lives.

Good point about success in general. What I meant in this particular case, was if I ever get to the point where I can take those comments from my father, and while they may still bother me, they will not influence my trading anymore. I feel I am getting there, but it is very difficult. The...

On the other hand, I know two things about US immigration: 1. If Satan has ever actively inspired anything on this planet, it is the US immigration laws and related government practices. 2. No one, not the people who made the law, not the ones who are responsible for implementing it, no...

The rate at which this thread is growing deems to indicate that this is a very common problem among traders. I have lived through most of this with my father, and I have not found a solution to the situation yet. The one thing I would like to contribute to this thread is: At first I...

ortega, I don't think knowing the exact text and interpretation of the rules is what you should focus on. Just experiment with limit orders until you get a feel for how it works. My experience lately has been the following: If there is a large print a few cents away from the market and your...

Interesting point of view.

What an amazing load of opinions! While I admit I have never even thought about scalping AOL or LLY and have never made much scalping GE, there is still no reason to believe a specialist would even have any motivation to keep any particular trader from buying on the bid and selling at the...

fan27, This might not apply to your situation at all, but one thing you have to be very careful about is this: If you look at the eminis and "take your signals" from them, then you might be making money only off of slightly slower traders in SPY. By that I mean, if a huge buy order takes...

Unless you are trading 100 shares of BRK.A And even then it will only make a difference if you are not a multi-millionaire.

Think about this: If you work at MCD or swipe the floor or something you can easily make more than $2000 per month if that is all you do. If you buy a small car you can pay it off within a few months and after that all you need is $600 per month for food, rent and maybe a little gas. That...

Some strategies are too complex, and others are just a little too simple to work. In my opinion, the latter applies here.

So you are.

Or (if that one is still not complicated enough for you) you could use (-high-low)*.5 + low + high I personally prefer (exp(2*i*pi)*high+ln(e)*low) / sqrt(4) * abs(sin(1.5*pi))

Now I can see it clearly! Only a fool could have difficulties seeing it in your chart. How DID you get esignal to display all the relevant indicators in one chart? Not bad! But only visible for those who use esignal's most advanced features. I have to agree with you on that point.

That's the spirit! T minus 16 hours and 34 minutes...

That's a pretty strong statement. But reiterating it doesn't make it any stronger or any less wrong.

You and I know it has to do with exactly what I stated, and those who don't happen to understand German will never know since for some reason you chose not to translate your quote. I will leave conclusions up to the astute reader. Now let's get technical about your invention of the word...
