You are NOT alone in hitting the wrong button or seeing the wrong price. You know its time for a little break when you start talking to yourself wondering how you could be so stupid to lose a bunch of cash within seconds because you didnt pay attention and just "fired" away. Good Journal...

cover IVGN @ 28.97 + .11 got busy with futures trading so I closed it out. Target was 28.85 and it did move past (under) the target.

Well it took a while to get a good signal again but I received a Jenna today. Shorted IVGN @ 29.08. this should be a 10-20 min trade

I too use SWP for the scanning. As I use multiple monitors I have found for me the best is to use qcharts for the level II, charts, T&S and well basically anything it can. I also use on another monitor SWP scanners ONLY. I have found that combining scanners as much as possible has helped...

Hey Huios, I too enjoy reading your posts!! Keep up the good work. Tom Demark in his second book called " New Market timing tech" has a method for calculating the daily range. While I use many of his methods in one form or another the daily range is not something that I use so I can...

:D LMAO:D 2funny

With a couple of solar panels and a satellite dish for an internet feed you still could be trading while eating your rabbit stew:D

How do you front run a market short order? dont they get out first regardless of your price as they first put in a market order?? Thanks in advance for the info.

I too much rather short, especially stocks as it seems like there is less risk ( seems they fall faster than rise so you have a better chance to get out of a loser with your "shorts" and shirt still on) IMHO

Best yet. you have to have a winning percentage of trades in terms of the amount of winners vs. losers. figure out where to enter, where to exit (win or lose) and based on those numbers you need to be making money(positive expectation). THEN you need the money management to execute the...

I enjoy reading your journal!! Do you plan on trading again this week or are you taking some serious time off? Best of luck

good time of year to recharge the batteries!!:D

As someone who trades the ES I would love to beta test

Very Well put!! I too think the grass is greener, BUT the increase in stress level from trading is a big price to pay. Perhaps a good idea is to trade part time while you test some of your signals. You can always have stop losses put in place and see how "real money" changes how you paper...

thats sooooooooooooooo funny:D :D :D :D :D :D

Maybe another idea is to have your quotes on one internet connection and your IB acct on a computer with dial up. The low bandwidth of the IB (assuming no level II with IB) would (may)give you more current bid ask pricing and orders may hit the CME a little quicker via a dial up vs dish...

SWP works for screening hugh amounts of stocks for formulas that you program. I dont know of any other program that does this for the same or even close price. SWP "crashes/locks up" almost every day at least two or three times. Usually doesnt require a reboot of the computer but sometimes...

You may want to look at "shotgunning" two or more modems together to give a bigger "pipe" to work with. The best are hardware based but the software based shotgun modems are still a lot better than just one. also remember that a 56K modem is only 56K max coming down to your computer and...

I opened my first account when I was 16 ( parent cosigned) that was almost 20 years ago so maybe things have changed. I almost always lost money and did not really have a plan. I dont think you need to wait till your older as you dont need to be "old" to be able to play a guitar or do other...

Very correct. Its one of the reasons good traders can write books and not worry to much about their "signals" getting washed out.
