You will find that the majority of respondants will be flat out of no value. It somewhat corresponds to the failure rate of traders as a whole. SO there is 10% here who are value added to what you are trying to do. So here's my $.02. If you are willing to spend some time figuring out how to...

:p :p :p :cool: Was gonna allow folks to get whatever it is off their chest until they disappeared. It usually takes a while and has been cyclic for as long as I can remember. Thanks Baron...

Successes are so important. It's what allows one to build upon it. Judging from the PM's I got, it seams as though most folks have a problem of knowing when to hold them and knowing when to fold them. The FOMC fortunately put an end to the inactivity and really got things rolling right through...

A voice of reason! :cool: I just hate to hear ignorant things. I'm not sure why it is a struggle for some folks to be civil. It makes my blood curl more than a losing trade. Losing trades do not even affect me oddly enough... We will truck along since I now have these folks on ignore. The...

Are you saving the application before you close it?

I picked up the 2405fpw for $680 with tax earlier this week (ie. brand new, not refurb). Trading is not complicated. I run everything right now from a 2G processor and rarely notice lag... Then again, I'm a techie and can work with pretty much whatever machine I have. It's just a matter of data...

If the vertical margin around the LCD were 1/4" (ie. on my 18" there about 1"), I would not have a problem sticking to more screens at smaller sizes as opposed to fewer screens at larger screen sizes. My own reason are personal and I have data windows that I prefer to stretch across the entire...

Well, I am willing to fork over $2K for the monitors. My machine can already handle the dual-link vid card requirements...

For trading, widescreen all the way. I've got dual 2405fpw and a 3rd one is in the mail. Believe it or not, I'm actually contemplating trashing all 3 and going for the 30" (ie 3007) and running vertical 20" on the ends of the 3007 as depicted in the following link...

My comment was to point out that upticks/downticks are flawed by design. All transactions that occur at the bid are SHORT ticks (ie. ticks where the transaction is a SHORT). All transactions that occur at the ask are LONG ticks (ie. ticks where the transaction is a LONG). Upticks/Downticks only...

Ordinarily, I do not make strong personal comments. However, I track the progress of a number of folks in ET. It is easy to track given their posts. You can detect their consciousness about what is at hand and where they are. For me, it is primarily a way to find new things, somewhat like going...

Whoa! No need to do it now. Weekend, next weekend, next month... Just think about it and where it fits in. At some point, it will just click and you'll just get it. You can actually condense a whole myriad of things from just "getting it". None of these things are missing pieces so to speak...

:cool: :cool: :cool: GET TO WORK!

just a technicality since I notice quite a number of folks make an oversight of this miniscule detail. When saying an up/down tick, are you trying to differentiate between a new BID/ASK pair or simply a lastprice to lastprice comparison between sequential ticks... Let me explain a bit. For...

I didn't have camtasia running on the particular day of the attached gif, so here's a snapshot. This is circa Monday's close. I did not trade Monday but I had the tool running nonetheless to ensure that there weren't any glitches. Take a peak and look, think, and overlay the "sexy idea"...

In a broader sequence of things, the objective is to reach a point of continually knowing exactly what is going on at ALL times. Knowing what is happening allows the trader to be relaxed and participate with the activity. In the spectrum of things, most traders look at 3 items enter/hold/exit...

Hmmm... Some thoughts since you too are working hard at this. Definitely good to exchange thoughts... Using IQFEED DDE I presume you are pulling down the dividend amounts and dividend dates for all 30 symbols which is straight forward... ie. =IQLink|mmm!'div rate'/4 = '$0.46'...

There were various other comments about Maria and her impacting INFO and how some folks had non-anticipatory "reactions" to some EXTREME issues. I have been out of the US markets the last 2 days due to the other business I juggle. If you're a beginner, there is plenty to feast on in just the...

I personally would use +/- .5 (ie. 2 ticks), however, I recall that you liked +/- 4 ticks which is +/- 1 point... MAK
