Hi no_pm: I've been reading your thread and found it very instructive. Coincidentally, I used to be a working musician myself. I worked in L.A. with Tedesco and several other contractors for about 10 years before going back to school. From what I see you are doing what a lot of us used to do...

I've had a Blue Cross policy for years. Cost has gone up recently from about $240/mo (2 years ago), to a current premium of just above $600/mo. PPO policy pays for everything however and I get to choose my doctor(s). I take a couple of meds and the premium pays for all except $30/mo. From my...

Gentlemen: Most of the time I just monitor these posts but tonight I thought I would offer a comment. I make a living trading Emini, Bonds, Currencies and Grains. I trade the Emini using outright positions intraday, and for the other markets I take positions of varying duration using options. I...

Chinook: Sorry to be so late replying, I trade overseas markets and often am sleeping while you guys are online at ET. I am using Sierra Charts (www.sierrachart.com) and Mytrack for the moment. This seems to be right for my purposes. What I would suggest is that you look first at the markets...

To all thread subscribers: Just for the record, I have closed my Tradestation account after less than a month. No access to important markets (DAX and Eurostoxx50) and very little response to my concerns about platform problems during fast markets. Seems to me that the program has some problems...

This is an addendum to my previous comment. I just went to MBF's website. I notice that they ask that you call them to get a subscription to services. I am guessing that they want clients to pay for the research regarding daily volatility as it relates to individual instruments. My...

Hello: I learned ACD from Mark quite a long time ago. In my opinion, most traders reading this will not make money with it, because it requires discipline, and an account sufficient to trade several markets concurrently (for diversification). Also, anyone trying to use it will need to...

Larry Ellison has a snowball's chance in hell of really understanding Black-Scholes. I would bet $100 that someone had to tell him what to say on this subject.

Joetrader: Your comments re Tradefactory interest me. I gather from the text that in addition to having the account size, you need to have a concept that will trade profitably with high frequency. That means stat arb, institutional programs trading fair value, and/or a number of other...

I am in process of activating an IB account (Futures) and would be interested in Mobile Trading. Is there anyone who has experience with this option who can give a thumbnail sketch of how it works. Thanks, steve46

Fin: Your quote doesn;t relate to me. I didn't have unlimited money. My last name isn't Gates. As I stated, I made mistakes, learned from them and here I am. I agree we owe it to ourselves not to be conned (sure there are con artists out there) but I still think you have to take chances in...

To All Subscribers: This is really very interesting to me, because of the path that I have had to take to get to this point. I started with a sizable account and lost a big chunk of it immediately. My accountant took me aside and said, hey look, if you don't wake up and get some kind of...

db: Basically I think you are right. I feel like asking for the last 15 minutes of my life back. Nothing constructive to show for it. Thanks Steve46

dpanic: If I wanted to direct a comment to you, I would use your name. My comments are directed to anyone who has a problem with pulling the trigger. Used to have that problem myself. If you have it worked out, thats great. Steve46

Boys: Page 79, second post under the name Vienna, Entry.gif. I pay attention very well, and the words "please explain" are what I responded to.

Thunderdog: I shouldn't speak for Linda. I subscribed to her chatroom for a number of months and found it useful, but you need to have a basis yourself to make money. That basis, in my opinion, is some idea of what style you are comfortable with. Linda scalps and swing trades. Because she has...

Vienna: Top of your chart clearly says "please explain". Having a rough day? Don't worry, it wont happen again. By the way, if you just look up, you will see that the sky is blue. Steve46

Vienna: Saw your request for clarification. I took the first entry, had an adverse excursion of 2pts (I have a 3pt stop loss) and then it moved into profitable territory. I can understand some folks not wanting to take the trade. I used to be one of those people. If you (or anybody) have...

To all subscribers: Noticed a second sell signal at 7:55 am PST that is already profitable. Too bad I wasted my time posting to this thread. Like several others I am going to say "sayonara". Too bad this system is so unprofitable. Hope I don't go broke trading it. Regards, Steve46

To all subscribers: Especially for those who think this system is unprofitable. I took this opening signal, selling 5 at 1006.50 covering at 1002.75. I am done for the day and since it is 7:50am here on the west coast I am going to take a nap. $900 before going to work, not bad for an...
