Treat trading like a hobby and it will pay you like one. This is a serious business and not a hobby. Another 'stat' for emg to hang his hat on - a hobbyist quits. Shocking. Hopefully this can be a reminder to all future hobbyists - trading is a real business w/ real people that want...

There's a blast from the past. Scouring through the archives of ET to find that one gem of a thread. :D

That made me chuckle. But -- there are plenty of 'investors' out there that still work the fundies whether directly or through their buy and hold brokers / mutual funds. Buy and hold is alive and well outside the trading community.

http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/04/15/us-gambling-idUSTRE73E6HW20110415 (Reuters) - The owners of three of the largest Internet poker companies operating in the United States were accused on Friday of tricking regulators and banks into processing billions of dollars of illegal Internet...

ND - unless it varies by broker/software, as soon as that price is touched, your order should turn into a market order. Of course you know the potential slippage involved when sending a plain vanilla market order. http://www.investopedia.com/terms/m/marketiftouched.asp

You clearly have not watched oil that closely then. A $1 move can happen in the blink of an eye. Good luck finding that on the ES. As always, this forum can provide some ideas but you better verify it for yourself as we see here that Wallace is providing very poor information. He stated...

I would just use http://tinypic.com/ then copy the code under "IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards".

Swan - just an fyi - all live accounts at Open ECry get all the data they offer for free, which is quite a bit. Very convenient whenever you just want to pull up another chart to peak or start to seriously consider it. I got more data than I know what to do with. I know a couple here also...

:confused: Says who? Where did you read this? Perhaps a noob to trading is making assumptions about something they know nothing about?

These constant posts from emg are very old, very quickly. FACT: Trading is hard. FACT: Many get into this thinking it's a get rich quick scheme. FACT: Some treat trading as a hobby, while others treat it as a business. FACT: Entry costs are incredibly low and just about anyone can 'give...

The #1 reason I've heard over the years is the perception (fact or not) that you get into your trades quicker with Xtrader. I used T4 for awhile (an xtrader type knockoff) and since being with OEC, I have not seen any difference in order fills whatsoever. You had a good platform at OEC that...

You like trading markets that are difficult for you? It's 'more fun' to trade something more difficult? :confused: IMO the ES holds nothing over oil, but w/ that said if it was 10x easier to trade the ES, then I'd be trading the ES...

If you are testing out platforms, Open Ecry's offers quite a few options for your chart setting - time (incl sub minute), volume, tick, momentum and range bars. http://www.openecry.com

Who uses alt-left arrow besides computer nerds?

In a highly liquid market as the ES, the only way to ensure your limit order gets filled is for it to trade through your level. As the above post says, if you are at the back of the line and there are hundreds or a thousand people in front of you, just have to wait your turn in line. Options...
