About 1/3 of new online accounts that I am seeing are being opened by woman, and nearly half of our members are woman, so I think a more appropriate question would be "Why dont more woman interact with the community?" That is not a hard question to get an answer to. You can read the contents of...

Everyone is curious as to what books they should read. I'm always interested in what books others find useful or entertaining too coz there is no way to hear about them all. I will start with my list of favorites, and anyone else please post too. Market Wizards (all, though I think the last...

The presentation that Mark is refering to was a live one I did in Tampa and Orlando last week. Im not aware of any transcripts. I will see if I still have the log for the class I gave on ET. Brandon

<i>What are the benefits on being part of NFA ?</i> NFA members can only do futures related business with other NFA members. Everyone on the exchange, and the exchanges themselves, are required to be NFA members. Brandon

I think there are a lot of woman traders, they just may not be out there and as visable as the guys. About 40% of our members are woman. Brandon

If you use a $10,000 margin requirement per Emini S&P500 contract a return of 2 points a day is $25,000 per 1 lot. That does not seem too bad too me, and I would bet that there are less than 15 people on this board that put up that kind of yearly return and can show it for the last 5 years...

I love 45 and 180 tick charts. They help me to get very sharp entries on bigger picture patterns with a low level of risk. Brandon

I think entries are overhyped, especially by people giving seminars and writting newsletters. Entries are very easy, but I've never made money on an entry or lost money on one either. It's always been on the exit. Anyway, great topic for a thread, sorry I will be out of town all week and wont be...

Anyone trading over a few hundred contracts a day should lease a seat, they will save money.

The biggest thing to keep in mind is to keep it simple if you want it to work. Make sure it relies on natural market tendancies. Brandon

Whats to say that the system A) will not rebound right at or near the 25% point, and then you are starting to use system B) just as its drawdown starts to hit. It would seem to me that the way you are suggesting would almost gaurantee failure. Trading is about finding something that works and...

They will not reissue it because Crabel will not let them. He trades a 100% mechanical system that is supposidly more or less put to print in this book. Brandon

The theories are great. Some of the specifics of the aplication of changed, but the books core, from my understanding, still forms the basis of Mr. Crabel's money managment business. Brandon

I had two copies so I sold one on Ebay. A 10 bagger on a book :) Brandon

Because the SP has been around forever, and the DOW is a relatively new contract. People got used to using the SP and have just stuck to that. The CBOT is working very hard to bring public interest and participation to the contract though with things such as lower commissions and some rebating...

I don't believe in crystal balls, but if someone had a gun to my head and said I had to pick long or short over the next few weeks I would not hesitate to say short. Look the charts. Brandon

Every trader I know who has been successful over a long period of time is 100% confident in their system. Not in each trade, anything can happen in a single trade. If you are not confident in your overall system though you will not make money. Brandon

If you trade more than 200 a day, just in excange fee's you will save money by becoming an IOM member. Brandon

I have found the product to be very good, but the tech support is very bad. I guess 1.2 cent a share doesnt pay for much. Brandon

I have done this on all of my trades since 1997, and I was never successful until I started doing it. I use a regular notebook (mead) and draw a picture of the chart and make notes about the trade. I have boxes full of notebooks in my office closet. Brandon
