I agree with Snoop here - the 'stockbroker' may be going to the waste side, but the 'financial advisor' is not. While we look at this stuff daily, MANY Americans do not want to even touch it. Just go ask some people what's in their 401k's. You'll probably hear 'I have no idea' or 'stuff'. It's...

The Saints did not look good - the Browns just played very poorly. Our OL was incredibly pathetic and that was all it took. If Braylon catches that pass on the last drive that game very well could have ended differently. Bush did look good though. Against a sold DL though, I wonder how he...

snoop - you are 100% correct that some are good and some are bad. I guess I was viewing the request on a trader forum and the post sounded like there was no difference in going prop or stockbroker route. There obviously is and if the poster would like to trade, he/she should look at the prop/on...

I can offer a little here - I was a stockbroker for 4.5 years before deciding to become a full-time trader. I can tell you this - you will learn NOTHING about trading in your stockbroker training. You will learn how to sell. And sell some more. The firm will tell you what to sell. Don't even...

Rearden - glad to see you in the Oil forum!! I don't trade stocks or options so while it was fun watching your other calls, could not really participate. On this trade a few questions: 1) At what price level would you exit this trade - profit and loss? I know you said if it gaps you will...

Bear - if you report his site to each vendor that he has pirated software from, that would be a start. If everyone here did it, it would get their attention that's for sure.

Thanks for sharing!

dan - could you break down what I am looking at here a little better so a 'newbie' to this indicator could grasp it a little better? Thanks!

-$1000 today on the ES and QM. No point of the woulda, coulda, shoulda. Very acceptable loss, just have to get back on the horse on Tue.

I put a couple things on Ebay last week and the Larry McMillan package has garnered a lot of interest. Currently there is only 1 actual bid, but over 25 people watching this item. If you are interested, don't hesitate to get your bid in place before someone gets a heck of a steal...

cash - many good replies here and my suggestions are basically the same: 1) Simplify your charts!!! You have WAY TOO MUCH junk on there. There are only so many indicators/oscillators out there and many are basically the same just slightly different. 2) If you feel the need to have an...

Dan - I glanced at that website, but by this comment you are saying you have found the first and only indicator out there that uses past information to predict the future consistently. Perhaps an indicator or 2 inside of a trading system with rules and such is a different story, but to say this...

chi - take some time and go thru these forums. I am not saying that indicator(s) are bad, but they are not a solve all. Expect them to fail. It's not going to hurt to learn 2-3 and then learn them inside and out. Popular ones appears to be Stochastics, MACD, RSI... among many others. Some...

chi - I guess I will start this off by saying this is no perfect indicator and/or timeframe. Part of your learning experience / tuition is going to be finding what works for you. Keep in mind that all indicators are lagging.... Good luck!

Mark - I will say this, you sure do thoroughly analyze every situation while coming to a conclusion. This is off topic to this thread, but I always enjoy reading your posts even if I may not agree. Good Trading!

Trend - great idea!! It would save some time if everyone did this... I will try it next week.

I use SnagIt and it's a very useful tool for taking screenshots and editing/adding stuff. www.techsmith.com

Hey guys, First time poster to this thread. To help make myself more accountable I thought now is a good time to start posting my P&L. For any lurkers out there, don't be bashful and post your P&L as well! I know for me, being held accountable is something that really pushed me in my prior...

I really think ET can be a good site if the complete losers would just stay off of here. I am not one to start a new post asking for someone to be banned, but please take a look at this thread: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=76127 You will see that this "Tommy" came...

Right, I think if it's a designated newbie area, we know going into it that these are going to be simple questions (even stupid by some people's standards). And instead of flaming the person, since it's a newbie area you can expect it. I do really like the FAQ thing as well.
