I cant be there. Will there be a transcript available?

The put/call ratio recently reached a higher high than the Sept. low numbers. Generally a pretty good indicator of at least a temporary bottom.

It appears there were quite a bunch of us trying to short this runup. Cant win em all:)

Nihaba Please post your trades for Friday. I only see one, possibly two, short setup on the NQ Friday. I dont doubt you, I just hope to learn something.

Vulture I agree up to a point. I still think it is a mistake to short a NEW high(over yesterday's high). I will short the first failed test of a new high in a heartbeat but the majority of times that I don't wait for that test I get burned. This almost always happens when I go into the day...

"I find that serious loosing spells can really wreck your ability to think right and make you question if this is the career for you." This is an interesting point that I think about a lot. My losses hurt much more than my wins make me feel good. The fact that this statement was made by...

I consider myself a fairly intellegent individual and having been around for a few decades, I thought I knew myself fairly well. Trading has changed all that. I know how to trade. I know the setups. I know the rules. I know beyond a doubt that they must be followed religiously. I know it is...

There is only one answer my friend. Trade setups, not hunches. If only I could follow my own advice.

Hi Magda I am not easyriders girlfriend, just a young girl who wants to learn to trade. Easyrider is helping me by letting me sit on his lap while he trades. He makes lots of noise.

While there is a lot of noise on the one minute time frame I believe it is playable. I actually switch to the quote board when I think something is going to happen. There are patterns in the way the quotes cycle and I am getting better at reading them. You can see momentum building or fading...

Huios If you get it figured out let me know because I have the same problem. I really believe that if I turn off the one minute charts and wait for clear setups on the five minute chart using a reasonable stop I would probably make more money. My problem is I love the one minute chart. I...

I chat with myself when I'm trading. Mostly stuff like "you friggin idiot" :(

Diz I find it pretty impressive if you have a 70% win rate using a 1 point stop. Have you calculated your average gain/loss figures?

I would never, no way, have bet that the market would go up yesterday. Every time I think I know what the market is going to do I get a lesson in humility. If I cant get it right for one day I sure as heck am not going to try a longer guess.

I have used IB a number of times at work where we have a large network with firewall, using their browser based TWS.

I should have included that I am using Starband on one computer for my charting software (esignal) and the 56k is on another computer. The only thing on that one is IB TWS. No level two, no charts, nothing but quotes for the eminis. I have not noticed any difference between the quotes 99% of the...

I just want to say that I am using a 56k modem with IB and MSN as an isp. I do 10 to 20 trades a day and execution is almost instantaneous. I am totally amazed at how well it works compared to previous platforms I've used. I live in the boonies but I think this works for me as the phone line is...

In my dreams.

There are several threads on this subject. Satellite is ok for recieving data, lousy for executions.

To me, the market is music. Some times it rocks. Some times it rolls.:)
