    Trading lunchtime

    IMO you are asking 2 questions: trading lunch and trading the PM session. I break the trading day into 4 distinct trading hours: Pre-Market, AM, Lunch and PM. You have to find how your system performs during the different sessions throughout the day. Stopping at 12pm EST is a perfectly...

    Dell Ultra-Sharp 24" Monitor Sale

    Very nice, esp since it's VESA ready. I found from trial and error the pain of mounting if your monitor is not VESA ready: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=228751 Saves time and money if the monitor is ready to go out of the box. Even if you get 1 or 2 now, having...

    Dad's Kid Day Trading Journal

    Assuming your mentor is successful at this, do what he says. Do not change anything right as you go live. Bwol gave you horrendous advice. You practiced a certain way w/ certain charts based on your (successful) mentor's plan. Do that and do not change it. Just follow the plan your mentor...

    Worst Trade In NFL History, Pt. II

    I was watching this intently as the Browns were rumored to be the 2nd team in the mix. I can't see going out 3 drafts and I think that's what killed the deal for the Browns. I've read they would have given up 3 #1's, but 2 of those are this year. Time will tell, but I think it said for...

    Mirus Futures - $500 Commission Credit for Account Transfers by April 1st

    I agree about the existing customer thing, but most financial firms do this -- they entice new customers and give a big f' you to existing customers. I guess they don't care about pissing off current customers, they just want to get new ones.

    Stock777, right yet again. Tim Sykes unmasked.

    ... therefore implying Sykes has access to shorts that no one else does? What uber secret broker is he using? Assuming Covestor tracks based on real money, that would then imply he's shorting stocks that you are saying cannot be shorted. See the issue there? Either Sykes has access to...

    Finally a buyable pullback.

    Spot on. I did exactly that years ago and it worked like a charm. Mutual funds marketing departments are great at showing the market always goes up and you should get in today!

    Al McWhirr and E-miniscalp

    Good questions for any system vendor. Expect the majority to say it's not possible, not 'legal', etc. Always an excuse as to why they can't show it really works.

    ES is the Place to Be

    It's all relative - some see potential, others will not. The actual market is irrelevant. The amount of volume traded there daily does suggest that there's a few people out there trading it. The ES is very tradable IMO along w/ other markets. Is it 'easy' as the OP stated it once was...

    POLL: The death of daytrading

    Daytrading has been dying since I joined this site. Those that can't do it, love to bring others down w/ them or justify why they couldn't cut it. At some point people realize trading from home is not a get rich scheme working from your pajamas. It's serious work and not easy. Same with full...

    $ES_F on twitter has some good posters. You can weed thru them to find what suits your trading style. Some even post blotters, entry/exit prices. Twitter is real-time, more interactive than a forum post. You can post instantly and get instant responses from around the world.

    Can a work 401K be rolled into self directed IRA?

    See what funds are available, check costs and performance, and see what's the best available. You cannot roll until you leave the job. I would imagine letting people roll while in their current 401k would create quite a papework/tracking mess. Not to mention, how would those mutual funds take...

    Heavy Duty Quad Monitor Stand - Used

    Stand looks nice, but no reviews on it. I looked at that one before I bought this one: http://amzn.to/xsFTg0 $104.90 brand new w/ shipping. Or used $122.98 w/ shipping on a stand with zero reviews. Maybe someone will bite, but a stand with reviews and brand new costs less than yours...

    I think if you check remoting it should work, but ask OEC directly - send a support ticket or try their forum.

    Instrument for late US session

    2-4:15pm is usually good for a nice move or two on the indexes. Doesn't fill your entire available time slot, but there's some good money to be made on those hours.
