    I'd say not losing money in your first couple of years would be amazing.

    Haha, I agree, and I've traded YM as well, so that is nothing.

    Jesse Livermore's trading

    Dang it, I had just got my hands on the book.... now I just kinda spoiled it by reading this. Maybe someone should write *Spoilers of Book* or something on here. I thought he was going to dominate the market by working hard and fail a few more times but come out on top by keeping on trying...

    Looking at a CRT vs. LCD for long period of time.

    I already purchased the Dell 17" monitor. It was 15% off for tonight only, deal is probably off now. I paid about $250. Probably would have ended up paying around $300 without the discount. So not a bad deal I'd guess.

    Looking at a CRT vs. LCD for long period of time.

    I rebuilt my computer 3 times, but never once touched the monitor. This thing only goes up to 60hz. It's a Compaq CV535. It sucks :) Which is why my eyes suck too.

    Looking at a CRT vs. LCD for long period of time.

    Awesome. Plus the old 15" I've had for about 5 years now, and it only did 1024 x 768, so it extremely difficult to fit a chart and a platform up at the same time. So I'm hoping with 1280 x 1024 that I'll be able to make use of the extra space. I was actually considering purchasing the...

    Looking at a CRT vs. LCD for long period of time.

    I'm pretty much at my computer 10 hours out of the day minimum. Just curious if an LCD would be better to look at instead of a CRT. Being that I was always interested in technology ever since I was 13, I pretty much have 20/200 vision (baaaaad). But I've been over at my sisters lately...

    Goal Checklist for Struggling Trader

    I have a feeling that list did nothing good for you, but what it did just do for you is put you under pressure and will infact make you a worse trader. I tried the same exact deal and it did not turn out so pretty.

    Esignal Software Behind IB TWS by 15 Seconds !

    Today was checking out the YM. Lagging at least 2 seconds behind my CQG Trader platform charts. WTF is going on with Esignal???? I pay over 100 bucks for this program, so do many others. Damn, I hate big companies that screw their customers. I hope in the future there are more options...

    Graphical Trading

    Haven't seen anything like this for trading stocks. For Futures, TradeMaven, I THINK might have something like that. Other than that, have not seen anything else. Would be nice to see the ability to just click on a chart and put in a limit order and such. I know there was a Forex...

    Successful Traders, How Long Did it Take You?

    10 months here. I have not yet made it. I need to work on it to make it happen soon, otherwise trading will be a part-time thing. I'd say an average of 2 years to possibly become consistant is a good average. No big deal though, just stick with it! :)

    Any help is appreciated

    Well if Forex wasn't for you then, then it certianly isn't for you now. Trust me. I know the other posters are trying to persuade you to go Forex, but don't listen, Forex is just.... not going to cut it. Swingtrading. You could either swing trade futures on a long time frame...
