    There seems to be a contradiction in terms with the above statement...Perhaps it could read "I was gonna give a spirited defense of traders who are making money BY runNING chatrooms"

    email

    yes, this is definitely not a good idea...I think I speak for many in saying that hotmail and yahoo e-mail accounts are our primary accounts and are actually quite effective in reducing SPAM, viruses, etc that are commonplace with the standard ISP accounts...

    The best asset those guys had was Goran Yardanoff...Even if the guy was a bit cocky at times, his analysis was humorous and typically pretty original, not filled with cliche analysis...Carolyn Boroden was also decent, but she is leaving...Saliba could be good, and I have read other stuff by him...

    Conviction and averaging down

    I swear that every two or three months we have the exact same debates on this forum...THis is probably the third or fourth time that the scaling versus averaging down debate has been argued... Each time I read this stuff, I am reminded more and more how each and every trader believes in their...

    ES Volatility Study

    Maybe you would want to remove the intervals in which an economic report was announced, since those skew the sample a bit...After all, you would probably not scalp a one minute chart at the exact moment a number is released anyway

    Who are daytrader's counterparties?

    As a follow-up to Darkhorse's theory of passive index investing and its implications, I found the following editorial by Fleckenstein: http://moneycentral.msn.com/content/P32406.asp

    40yo's new career or bust

    I agree...Of all the various aspects of your trading plan, the one I most admire and believe will be of the most assistance is having your spouse share the duties...After all, that is how the great Marty Schwartz found success in the early years... Trading alone is definitely a unique...

    Who are daytrader's counterparties?

    There is no way one could answer this question with a quick and convenient answer...It depends on any number of factors...Included in the big equation might be trend strength and duration(time and price)...seasonality(including earnings announcements, end of quarter stuff)... Personally, I...

    Who are daytrader's counterparties?

    Your assumption, I believe, is way off base...You think only small fries are in the minis?...No way...There is very large money running around in that market

    40yo's new career or bust

    I wouldnt make any comparisons to Aphexcoil...That is apples and oranges...Aphie might be 25(who knows really) but he has the emotional intelligence of a 16 year old... You have good capitalization and maturity...I think the maturity part is a big issue...

    40yo's new career or bust

    As debilitating as some of the comments are from guys who are seen as bitter, cynical, etc, etc, most of what they say is very true...Trading, in and of itself, is very tough...Trying to learn how to trade with financial obligations somewhere down the line makes it that much tougher...The...

    Bonds vs Stock Index Futures

    IMO, the bonds of 2002 are far more like stock index futures than vice versa...They used to trade "thick", but these days they are just as reactionary and volatile as the index futures...There is plenty of movement and I dont think that it is a slow drawn out process...It used to be that way...
