Whenever someone asks me to teach them how to trade, I am going to start by showing them these charts!!!

If you pull up the dow weekly, the market was on a tear since the 90's up to 2000, then consolidated, corrected, now it's breaking out again. From a technical standpoint, it looks like it's gonna keep going up. From a psy and econ standpoint, it's too scary to get in but if you build your pos...

1. Your capital is too small, you will never make a decent amount of money to live off but it's enough to get the ball rolling. If you choose the prop route, you might get better leverage and more money to trade not to mention you wouldn't be restricted by daytrading regulations. 2. I...

Daal, How nasty are the tax laws in your country? Is it Brazil??? US tax laws are nasty enough trimming 30-40% of the net most daytraders bring home. How much is your country taking????

On dead days, you follow stocks that are trending and not following the mkts but as far as trading indexes...yeah sit out for now....

THE NYSE hybrid and reg nms have been pretty pathetic as far as filling orders. Instead of getting price improvement we are constantly getting filled outside the spread even on small lots like 500-700 shares. I hope they get this fixed.

A "proven tested method that outperforms" involves money management therefore....you're wrong!

With a pathetic gdp growth rate of 3.7% a year, the brazilian index skyrocketed. We are ranked 15th in growth in Latin America. We are behind Guatemala, Panama and we were actually next to last before the brzl government reviewd the gdp numbers. Foreign investments are near high, risk is at it's...

You must add a papertrading plan in there and trade your discretionary system until you are comfy with it. I honestly don't know any successful discretionary trader out there so you must find a couple of setups and papertrade them first to build your edge. Not to mention, your system must...

I am down 700k on NEW alone....I think it's time to create a new account!!!

Most brokers had problems this week so I'd give your broker another chance. Mine (hold brothers) was a nightmare.

It looks like nyse fixed that later in the day. The charts were smoother...and tradable.

NYSE almost doubled its daily vol the last two days...it's seriously overwhelmed so I would not blame the providers alone but NYSE and NASDAQ as well...

Been using the graybox software for 5 months without a single hitch...Fast and reliable period. Yeah during fed announcements we do get some issues but so does a lot of companies out there. Feel free to pm me or reply if you need more details.

I trade at HB in midtown and I don't have a problem with them as far as reliability and tools to trade with but their compliance department is slow as a mule and it sometimes annoys the shit out of me. Other than that, no problems at all.

Will the computer always remain on a local network? Do you still want to access this web site from anywhere with a login and pw? E.g. home/work/world? Should not be hard using the MAC address of the network card. Pretty easy and inexpensive setup.

The expo was okay to fool around to see what was out there. The blonde at the forex booth definitely made me sign up for the free seminar...but the guy's first question...what's your buying power was definitely a turn off...I actually enjoyed some of the seminars especially Brian Shannon's and...

Rasl, have you considered a long break from trading? Your problem is not whether you pick bottoms and tops. Burning your hands won't make you profitable or more disciplined at this point. Take a long break from trading and come back with a fresh attitute towards it.

If you guys are curious to know how I fixed my monitor issue, I connected my second monitor straight to the onboard video port instead of the second vga head of my video card. I was able to configure the resolution on the onboard card. Good luck to all and thanks for the feedback.

Oh shit I hope that's not what I need to get going...
