Finally able to log in again. been about an hour and a half I was disconnected. I'll be sure to post on here if I happen to be disconnected ever again. I'll post every single disconnection issue I have on this website. I'll post as it happens. Thanks

I've had NUMEROUS disconnection issues with them over the past three or four months. Been with them since April. I have so many other accounts with different firms that I know for a fact that this issue is OEC specific and not a problem with the ECBOT or with my internet connection (which is...

I am currently a customer with Open E Cry. I hope this forum can serve the purpose of sharing our disconnection issue experiences at Open E-cry. I've had numerous technical problems with the OEC trading platform over the past few months. NOTE: PLEASE WRITE THE TIME AND DATE OF YOUR OEC...

That's funny you say that. I thought I was the only trader not functional in society...

Think of it like this: bad vibes can turn your vibes bad too. Being around positivity can influence your own attitude in general and can positively influence your performance. Constant negativity from your broker CAN RUIN YOU or, in the least, make your life as a trader even more difficult...

I have heard some pretty bad things about TransAct. a few friends of mine have had bad experiences there. In particular, I've heard the dumb software they have never calculates PnL accurately. Also, Overall there seems to be some pretty bad vibes coming from the brokers there. While I'm not...

I posted this in the psychology thread because it really is a psychological issue......if you think you have bad karma, you can trade against yourself...

Do yourself a favor: DO NOT average this position down. As an independent trader, you probably will do it anyways if your conviction in your position is strong enough. But hey, you can lead a horse to water..... Are you short CLV6 (PIT) or QM? just curious What else do you trade?

Oil is making new highs and you are short.....I'd say you may very well not be in your right mind.....Or, you could make a killing if you picked the top.... I wish you luck on that speculative play nonetheless...

Statistically, what you've done is near impossible. That said, i'm not a big fan of statistics anyhow.... Congratulations. But remember one thing: a fool and his money are easily parted... Don't let the markets catch you sleeping again...

Simulator is like a video game.....trade a small account with real money...then you will know what it is like to really be a trader....We only come to know our true selves when real money is on the line....simulator is a waste of time in my opinion....unless you use it primarily to familiarize...

As long as there is turmoil in the middle east, oil will continue to rally....i firmly believe that... The only bet I'd like to make on oil is to sell as much as I can when it hits $100......

I really don't think $100 oil will be sustainable actually. However, the whole market wants (or now expects) oil to go up to $100. I do believe that we will see $100 touched.......I feel pretty certain of that... the sentiment as well as general global conditions are getting many people to...

I don't think oil will be coming down until three things happen: 1. war in Iraq starts to bear fruits in the form of a self governing independent nation forming 2. Terrorist threats to oil pipelines and oil refineries decline dramatically 3. a new administration takes office (not...

Here is a joke with implications that ring true..... An engineer, a chemist, and an economist are stranded on a desert island with no food source but the ton of canned goods sitting on the beach. They are trying to figure out how to open it using only the sparse vegetation found around the...

I like that quote taken from the swedish army training manual. My point is simply that you can not produce accurate models of risk. Risk of a blowup is always there no matter what. The only way to limit risk is to reduce exposure and this is precisely why most of my hedge fund friends...

I always introduce my self as speculator....."trader" has a very bad connotation to it these days...

Like trading, economics is a social science. There are theoretical, abstract, frameworks within which markets operate. There are no hard and fast rules that say when so and so number comes out high, this or that tradeable security will do this or that..... I've always been quite skeptical...

I bought six AOpen F2925 monitors and they each have their own speakers. I'll be using all six for trading. I want all the speakers to work. Any Ideas? I only have one audio output jack on the back of my PC. Is there a wire I can buy to accomplish this? Will my pc be able to supply power to...
