    How much $$ is required to be Scalp Day Trader ?

    500 RT/day? Holy Mary! :eek: Which programs are you using for trading simulations and scalping strategy testing? Do you have a fully functional trading platform with simulation capabilities that can record day sessions to practice on at night? ~Scientist :)

    How much $$ is required to be Scalp Day Trader ?

    You callin' me cobber? LMAO! Haven't heard that for ages man! :p Anyway, you're wrong. It's not a common misconception. I scalp the ES everyday. You're just not paying attention. I repeat : You quoted me: And that's precisely right. Read again: 1T per side = 2T/RT. Plus 2X $2.40 commish...

    Quote from Error 404: Scientist, I just wanted to chime in here to say I think you made some very good points both in specifics and in general. Thank you brother Error 404. I'm only reflecting what others here are already thinking, anyway. I should say that this reply of yours is most...

    How much $$ is required to be Scalp Day Trader ?

    Quote from alfonso: Scientist, again I would ask you hold off making absolutist comments like that until you've made your millions. You're right, I'm sorry, brother Alfonso. I have nothing against day trading (I do use it, too, in a bracketed approach). I suppose every trader thinks his...

    How much $$ is required to be Scalp Day Trader ?

    Scientist: I'll just do a new discussion experiment here and comment on this via blue font, so it's clear who's saying what. Alfonso is originally replying to esc_tader here: esc_trader is black, Alfonso is red, I am blue. :) esc_trader: Second, scalping is simply trading in a shorter time...

    How much $$ is required to be Scalp Day Trader ?

    Indeed well said. Smallest risk in the industry. I'm almost scared of 'day trading' as they call it. Why 'sit through' drawdowns etc if you could trade them instead? I'm afraid there's a LOT of people out there who don't understand this style. It's actually pretty simple logic : The smaller...

    The Stochastic Indicator

    You're using low-quality stuff. This can cost you a lot of money once you trade seriously! I've got the eSignal & IB deal, too. I've tried eSignal, OT, TradeStation, Ensign, Investor R/T - You name it. The best out there by far is eSignal. Once you get it, you'll never let go of it. I'm...

    The Stochastic Indicator

    If you really can't look at 1-min, you could also use 2-min or 3-min charts. I like the 3-min. Just 5-min is a little slow-paced, but good nonetheless. Much more "reliable" either way, particularly for volume. Also I'd suggest you look at the YM, ES and NQ market depth as well. Nothing shows...

    Hershey's Equity thread

    I'm not getting your point, brother electron. Quality / Quantity - It doesn't matter. Only you yourself can most objectively evaluate that. If you don't, then that's probably due to laziness or lack of objectivity. You want it the "easy way" by live demonstrations etc - But you'd still be no...

    Hershey's Equity thread

    What the heaven are you on about? :confused: The deletions of the 2 pages were none of my business. You're so full of thought-up nonsense. You realize I was joking? Regarding the quote of dbphoenix : I was actually on HIS side in that argument. I said there should still be enough left after...

    Hershey's Equity thread

    We should get dawg over here. He's one of Jack's star apprentices, and an ace trader using his strategies. Haven't seen him lately, though. Should we PM him over? I'm not writing much here, I'm just a silent "lurker" on Jack's threads - LOL. I'm getting all the stuff, though. Read through...

    Hershey's Equity thread

    Hey - No offense, please. This guy is on the floor now, anyway. I'm out of flamer-land, this is my last post to him, now that all his lies and BS are exposed, he can write whatever he likes. I was requested to reply to his post on this thread, so I did. Best Compliments ~ The Scientist

    Hershey's Equity thread

    Great. Get some psychotherapy, I think it really is necessary. I've also posted yesterday's post here, so you read it again and realize your BS'in again. I never "indicated I like being called an aussie". You're full of nonsense, boy. Full of it. Please post a link to the post where I said it...

    You'll never stop flaming, will you? Man, you're so stubborn. I actually saved that reply to you from yesterday. Great, so I can just post it for clarification (and demonstration of you lying again). You're just so lucky that inandlong keeps removing all your flames constantly, otherwise we'd...

    How much $$ is required to be Scalp Day Trader ?

    This is kind of a one-sided point of view - The point that all non-scalpers defend, so to speak. Commission costs: Yes, they can become quite a lot - but 50% of the trade? My god who do you trade with? Starting with $4.80 /RT at IB, you can move on to VelocityFutures and FFastTrade, getting...

    What do you mean by that? How about the National Association of Securities Dealers' Automated Quotron? It's all electronic - right? Best Compliments, ~The Scientist
