    CTS T4 Users...who do you trade with?

    Who did the guys at T4 recommend you contact? Been a long time since I used T4 but was a very nice platform at the time, I'm sure it's a lot better now.

    What members write about Bearice. Read

    Only allowed to post in certain parts? That's pretty funny. Has that ever been done around here? Regardless, great decision. Forum a lot cleaner.

    CRUDE OIL TRADER MACBOS system

    Can you clarify whether you think trading is easy - ie, see this thread and where you've posted theoretically big profits - or is 'day trading a losers game' as you illustrated here: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=220746 or 'day trading difficulties' as you...

    Question about futures brokers with continuous contracts

    You do know he left in 2010, right? He now plays for another team. It's 2011. You're a little late on the lbj jokes. You'll also note my username is not cavsfan, but brownsfan which might indicate which sport I'm most interested in. I don't expect you to grasp any of that though...

    Question about futures brokers with continuous contracts

    Continuous contracts are only for charting purposes. There is no actual ES #F contract being traded. That's esignal's, TS, etc. way of giving you the option to use 1 chart for the contract -- HOWEVER actual trades are placed on actual contracts. So at rollover time, you must liquidate your...

    Software that will shut you down after x amount of losses?

    I'm guessing if OP is asking then that part is not working up to par. :p Good news is that there are options so apparently this is a requested feature on platforms.

    Software that will shut you down after x amount of losses?

    If you are talking about creating your own risk manager - shut down after a dollar amount of losses - some software does that. I believe Open ECry has this, although I've never used it. If you want it to shut down after so many losses regardless of the $ amount lost, not sure if that's out...

    CL Redux

    My rule of thumb - trade the contract w/ the most volume. It's quick and easy. Watch volume on the CL the 3rd week of every month and usually Wed or Thu is when you should roll to the new month. Yesterday M started with more but as the day went, the gap narrowed and then today it wasn't even...

    First time on a Simulator

    WTF does that even mean? You are one nut job emg. Your comment makes zero sense - as usual. Fact - OEC is a great broker. Fact - your broker's website looks like a kid in grade school did it as a homework project. :p

    Is it advisable to do this?

    You just have to decide what you want to risk -- 1) Risk your capital in stocks 2) Risk not outpacing inflation in cds/savings There is no right answer, only you can decide that. Sure the dividend yield looks nice on some stocks, but your principal can also decrease on those (as well as...

    My DAYTRADER story

    ANY career w/ the potential to pay you handsomely has risks, is not easy and many will fail at it. The cost of entry in trading is so tiny that anyone w/ a computer now can give it a go. Someone go find emg quickly so he can link back to this post.

    SIRI: is this a real short squeeze, or a trap?

    Wait, are you saying a stock moved since last Wed? That's amazing. I'm going to try this game - I think CL (oil futures, not Colgate) will move up or down from now till the next time I post in this thread. You are welcome. Take that straight to the bank. And my call will probably...

    Day Trading Is A Dead End Job

    emg and hood need to start a support group for each other. What's going on lately w/ the burnouts? I'm not seeing reason(s) for the recent 'trading hurt my feelings and I'm going home' posts here. Just nature taking it's course and weeding out the hobby traders?

    First time on a Simulator

    OEC's simulator is good at judging where in the queue you might be. To guarantee your fills though on any simulator, place your limit 1 tick above/below where you want to be filled. So if you want to go long the CL @ 98.60, place a limit order @ 98.59 and if that gets hit, your .60 would...

    Youtube scammed me, how is this even legal.

    So you thought youtube, which is owned by Google, had a required survey to watch their videos and then wanted your cell and email address? ... :D One is born every minute. Lesson learned - sometimes common sense has to kick in. Sometimes it takes a bit longer for some people...

    Why do 95% of retail traders lose?

    Simple - misery loves company. Some people would rather drag others down to their misery than just move on w/ their life. It's clear how often emg posts here about the same crap that he just wants to know that he's not the only failure. This way he can look in the mirror and think - see, look at...
