    Only 1 Futures Daytrade per day: $200-$1,000 profit goal per day

    Yes, but the point we are making is that you are changing your game plan on a day to day basis and you are not demonstrating discipline (1 trade per day, $200 min profit target). This is a sure route to failure, and that is what you are hearing. Stick to your plan unless it is not working...

    Only 1 Futures Daytrade per day: $200-$1,000 profit goal per day

    Hmm... think your risk/reward formula is backwards... maybe try and relax and don't watch every tick...

    Worst TWS Yet?

    That's my plan also. I had to downgrade to 882.2 awhile back because of performance issues and freeze ups. Since downgrading, I have not had a single problem since.

    What will Congress or senate vote on oil speculation at 11:00 ET?

    Good question. Lawmakers rarely ask such logical questions before passing sweeping legislation. Oil is a global market, so ultimately these gimmicks will have little long-term impact. The only thing they are doing is trying to send the trade overseas for good. Why would I care where I trade...

    Don't trade alone

    I agree it is nice to have a social circle but why pay for it? Try and develop friends who have an interest in trading or network locally within your community. I am just saying avoid pay trading groups as a general rule, they usually don't help.

    Don't trade alone

    Who needs to pay $200-$400/mo to be a part of these groups? I know that Oscar is interested in signing up members to his brokerage firm and pay $50/rt per contract but I have never understood what value you get out of these chatrooms. Anyone remember Tokyo Joe? Same stuff, different name. Do...

    Don't trade alone

    We've been aware of Oscar since he started making his annoying videos in January of last year. Are you a shill?

    Which countries have low taxes and have balanced budgets?

    Hmm... strict bank secrecy that is unless they employ any disgruntled I.T. workers who download account holder data and sell it to other interested countries (e.g. Liechtenstein and UBS case). You can pretty much throw out bank secrecy without better internal controls at these banks.

    20 reasons why Oil to NEVER hit $135.00 again...dated: May 22, 2008

    ride a bike. look how much people have already cut back. demand is way down and prices are reflecting that. unfortunately it takes a crisis to get this country to do anything.

    20 reasons why Oil to NEVER hit $135.00 again...dated: May 22, 2008

    yeah, increasenow coming back has to mark some kind of short-term bottom in oil (j/k). I'm pretty neutral on oil right now after the last two days, at least until further confirmation. it's getting too dangerous on either side imo.

    IRS wants millions hidden in Swiss accounts

    The law is called the "big stick" statute. Basically, the SEC and Treasury can just threaten UBS' with loss of their US securities license I suppose. I'm sure that would get UBS to pay attention at least.

    TRADER MONTHLY BROKE? doubledown folds???

    I'll miss the Trader Monthly top 30 under 30 issue. It was quite good at naming some of the complete and utter tools of Wall St. Besides, Timmay, remember Zach "Eigenvalues" Michaelson?

    TWS unstable since Thurs 6/19

    Well, I have called and was told last week that there is some undetermined issue affecting performance and stability with 884 and to downgrade to 882.2 with Java 1.5_15 until it was determined what the cause was. I haven't tried 885 but 882.2 is working fine for now. Thanks.

    20 reasons why Oil to NEVER hit $135.00 again...dated: May 22, 2008

    Current quote is 140.97/141.02. So much for your "super-resistance". You must not actually be trading this because I don't see how you can keep getting your calls so totally wrong and keep posting them publicly. I think you are really just trolling for comments at this point. At least you...

    TWS unstable since Thurs 6/19

    The problems I was having with TWS were with the stand-alone version not browser version. Can you confirm if the latest stand-alone version of TWS is stable with the version of Java you are recommending?? My experience is that it is not stable at all with Java 1.6 (I have not tried it with Java...

    Which poker should I learn?

    Well, the obvious choice is Texas hold'em which is most popular in tournaments and live play. I would also recommend learning Omaha, which can be much more complex due to the hand combination possibilities and is fun for short handed play. You should be well-rounded though and not just focus on...
