Wha? Your original post had a mission statement. After multiple arguments on the matter I decided to bring a bit of objectivity to the field of continuous holy war and demonstrate some of the actual performance achieved with use of a couple simple TA signals. Will I prove TA has some value...

So many posts for so few trades. Problem solved, have a few losing sessions. People lose interest FAST. But it will give the OP some peace and quiet to concentrate on actual performance. Btw, where are the charts? I thought there was gonna be actual explanation of why the trade was taken...

Suggestion, think of some project that might be cool to try. Keep it simple. For instance, pulling 2 minutes quotes from IB and persisting it to a database. If you find what you build useful, it makes the project much more fun. I actually started out as a programmer but haven't done it...

One of the poster in 2+2 thread mentioned 60 minute segment said Simon makes $25-$50 million in residuals a year. Tilly gets $5million a year in alimony. 20 year @$5 million = $100 million. Even if it was half that, $2.5 million is a lot of cheddar.

You are correct, sir. Haven't looked at the N225 in a while. Lots of action past few months. Damn thing is up like 30% on the year and it was higher after the recent correction.

I think the DAX has good action which starts around 3am EST. It trades at 25 euro per tick so at current exchange rates, you're talking $33 USD. If you can handle that, it's a nice instrument to trade. Nikkei starts around 9-10pm EST. But it can move slower than the ES. Btw, I...

Straight from the horse's mouth. Dude, you are batting 100% today. Sam Simon says Tilly could get close to $100 million on Howard Stern

Tilly is apparently worth tens of millions if not hundreds from her divorce from Sam Simon. So even if Laak did take a dump with his savings, he would always have her as a backer.

Just finished the article. Pretty cool read even if it was posted in 2009. Even though I really didn't like his Unabomber shtick when he was first televised, I respect his playing ability and the fact that he started as a trader. I also liked the part in the article where he was disciplined...

Broke?? Where did you hear that? For one thing, I heard him and Tilly each put up $250k to stake Esfandiari in the One Million One Drop so they made out like bandits. I seriously doubt he's broke.

A post I did back in 2006. It was called the ER2 back then but still applies today. The indices, more or less, have the same directional momentum. So if you knew there was going to be a big up move, generally you want to put your money on the TF since it will have better ROI. Bang for...

Kicking myself for not seeing the long play midday. 1) It hit previous high ceiling around 1600, which is now support. 2) Low happened to coincide with pivot point as well. It was definitely worth a couple points as a stoploss. Risk 2pts for 20pts. I would say that would have been...

LMFAO! Plz dude. Just be glad people didn't get chopped out yesterday.

Long at 981.3 TF. It's one of those stretchy days. Hoping for at least 5pts. edit: welp, that didn't work. as high as +3.5pts but stopped me out breakeven. looks like this thing wants to go down.

Bad sign, another 7pt down on the TF so far. NQ looks weak. Dow looks strong. ES is about flat but weak. I think we are going down.

Choppy action on the TF. 5pt down, 6pt up, 8pt down, 12pt up.

Maybe you are right about Monday but I kept thinking Friday that it was the start of "Sell in May and Go Away". This year, it just came later. I think June is going to be a down month.

I was using their free services like the video reviews. If you are a complete novice, it's an inexpensive way to visually see some techniques applied to the market. The cynics don't think he can trade well enough to support himself. Since he's selling himself as a master trader, it doesn't...

If nothing else, Carter has a logical approach to the market. He converses with many traders and I think he's smart enough to see the good ones from the bad ones. The good ones can show him what they are doing while the bad ones will show him what not to do. I heard Hubert isn't very good...
