    Deciding when to take profits (I let most of my winners turn into losers)

    is it possible to identify when it is or is going to be chop and just sit out on the sidelines, then? Or is this the reason successful traders scalp; so trends dont matter?

    Deciding when to take profits (I let most of my winners turn into losers)

    The only indicator I'm using is a 60EMA. Go long when the price goes above it, go short when the price goes below it. It looked like it would work so beautifully in looking at charts. I didn't know the chop would be so bad. Seriously. I thought I was on to something because I wasn't...

    Deciding when to take profits (I let most of my winners turn into losers)

    Ok this is driving me nuts. I have a methodology that I've been working with on the YM and NQ. It produces large winners, especially in the first and last hours of trading each day, but then in between, or even sometimes during those "good" hours," I get chopped to hell and I end up negative...

    This is a tough business, but I still love it

    What broker are you using? What strategy are you using? I think most FX people I've talked to stick to one currency pair. Give this a look if you get bored one day: http://www.aussiestockforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8896

    Is there a reason to use HLC bars instead of OHLC bars?

    I cannot think of a reason why you would want less data than more data. Anyone use HLC bars in favor or OHLC bars?

    YM/NQ crew: Has this month been pretty typical?

    I've been using a demo account this month to trade the YM and NQ and I was just wondering if this month's action on those two contracts has been pretty typical or if this month has been a crazy outlier compared to normal, and if it's been different, how has it been different from "normal?"...

    Who offers stock trading demo accounts that DON'T require your SSN?

    Ok it looks like my ToS demo is actually displaying data in realtime (comparing with QuoteTracker/Scottrade on my other monitor). Weird. I'll just ignore that part that says delayed 20 min then.

    Who offers stock trading demo accounts that DON'T require your SSN?

    I just got it now. Maybe it has something to do with the market being closed right now. But that shouldn't matter, should it? I'll try again tomorrow I guess.

    Who offers stock trading demo accounts that DON'T require your SSN?

    I have a demo account with Open E Cry that is awesome, but it's only futures. I signed up for Think or Swim's demo account only to find that data is delayed by 20 min. Useless. I heard Options Express had a good demo trading platform but they're requiring my SSN. I understand why that...
