    Pictures of your trading stations

    Actually, that's a myth. 10 is merely a limitation of the built-in Display Properties applet, not of the OS itself. Third-party apps such as UltraMon can handle as many monitors as you'll throw at it. I've seen reports of 12- and 16-display setups put together, at least under XP. Now, can I...

    How to decrease AMT?

    Practical methods of reducing your AMT liability in a given year primarily have to do with timing certain AMT triggers, such as cap. gains and estimated state tax payments. In addition, charitable contributions are exempt from AMT and so boosting them helps. The only good news is that...

    CFA 2007 June

    OK, I see those quotes in the FAQ now, thanks. That's a change. In fact, according to, e.g., this Schweser page, for nearly 40 years since the CFA inception (in 1963), there was a 7-year time limit: "Prior to 2001, CFA Institute policy required candidates to reregister if they did not...

    How Much Would Do 'It' For You?

    Agree... worth taking very seriously. It's called "Infinite Wealth." Van Tharp (probably) originated and developed that eminently useful concept. Make it your business to get it or you won't get 'It.'

    Anyone have a "night job?"

    Well, Marty Schwartz, a trader's trader if ever there was one, didn't quit his high-paying DAY job as a pharma stocks analyst at E.F. Hutton's Institutional Research. Even though his wife also had a good, management job, which could've supported them both indefinitely. No, he waited until he...

    How to calculate a P&L in Excel

    Hans, example1.xls already calculates P&L automatically. To calculate exits (yes, a good idea), you'd still need to specify what the exit rules are, consistent with your actual exits. See my earlier comment regarding trades 1 and 2.

    One simple solution attached, using the old reliable Vlookup function. Since you can have multiple trades exited at the close of a single day, yet want to track each trade's P&L separately, I'd recommend having as many Exit and P&L columns as the largest possible number of simultaneous...

    "more shares" than what? For every one share bought, one share must be sold, and vice versa.

    Does anyone know where I can find a spreadsheetlike this?

    What's the deal with such a slow and conservative progression of trading size in that table? Patiently waiting to make a whole $500 P&L before adding another contract... no, no... too much fear, not enough greed.
