I think the "only profitably" qualification is going to limit the possibilities considerably.

That was hilarious.:D

In my humble opinion trading is 1% knowledge and 99% DISCIPLINE!!!!! You must set your rules for entry and exit and follow them religiously. It IS a kind of religion. The insidious thing about breaking rules is it is the mental damage done to yourself. You mention getting over the hump. This...

Short day for me as I reached my loss limit early on. Three trades, none of which fit my specs. Jeez. Just when I think Ive got it down pat I try to get cute. It takes an iron will to do this right. First loser in a few days so I am not feeling to bad and quitting for the day at my loss level is...

Not trying to be cute but I have to wonder why any trader would be interested in mainstream news? Lags the market significantly. Of course there are some nice looking women.

Ashamed of my performance today. I live for these kinds of days but could not get in synch. Positive but barely.

is it ib's fault? i think the problem is at the exchange

scary alright

Looks like the fed was a non event. We are right back in the range that preceded it. Now Im almost sure we will take out the DOW highs in the next day or two.

As they ran it up a bit before the announcement I began to feel it was going down but I did not attempt to trade it. As I said earlier the weak trin was making me suspicious of the up move. Interestingly Nasdaq trin is quite low but Ive never followed it enough to use it.

One long early on. Seldom trade afternoons and never trade the fed. +82.50

I would think youd have a much better shot trading stocks. Why futures?

I think we go sideways now until the fed but have no idea where its going after. I think there is strong sentiment to try and take out the highs if the fed doesnt say anything negative.

I am starting this thread for a place for people to express their opinions on the market at this moment. This is not for long term predictions but rather where you think the market is going in the next couple of minutes or next couple of hours and why. This morning I think it is kind of odd that...

Three trades. Two losers one winner. Should not have taken the first two shorts as they did not fit my plan. Two steps forward, one step back. Feel a bit silly posting these alongside some of these multi thousand quotes but my goal is only $100 a day at present. When I can do that consistently I...

Ive heard of snapshots but I think once every twenty minutes is sretching it.

Go to Options/edit preferences/timing clik on multiday chart setting and set it up like this: this will add it to your selections on the clock

You can set your charts to any times you want in QT. Unfortunatly it will affect all other charts with that symbol so you cannot run a 24 hour tick chart alongside a rth chart of the same symbol which I would like to do.

I just got the two points. (ES) It is aggravating to watch it move on down without you but you have to track the trades for awhile and see how many times it was better to settle for the two points to get a clear picture. I have found that over the long run I do better just taking the two points...

Im kind of suprised at the tone of your comments to me on the thread that was closed. For a senior citizen I find your remarks quite juvenile. I do not think my request was unreasonable and the fact that you have not and will post any proof that you are actually trading your method leads me to...
