    ideal monitor setup

    Nice stuff, ElectricSavant. Excuse my naiivity, but how can you run a desklight (75W?), 3 computers (1200+W?), 3 monitors (200W?), router & cable modem (25W?), and fridge (600W) off a 1,000W generator? As you can see, we're long over 2kW there. Maybe I'm wrong, but i.e. my workstations run...

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

    Main advantage of mini's is the amazing liquidity. You really need to do a lot of size until you stop losing velocity, and you can always get in & out immediately, no routing, no limit orders as requirement (you really get filled at market - no manipulation). Main advantage of stocks would be...

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

    Good point. But nothing sounds as "promising" to make you rich in the future as "futures", does it? I traded stocks for a while, then went to the emini's. I'm doing very well on the mini's these days, but the stocks might be the easier choice of path now, ditto less effort = less risk = more...

    ideal monitor setup

    Make sure you get a good UPS to back yourself up for a possible multi-hour failure... This one would've gotten you right through the New York outage last week... ~The Scientist

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

    LOL! :p This is the biggest joke I've heard for a while, seriously brokerj, could you give us a live demo of your superior performance? The answer to the guy who openend the thread: $25K is enough to start with I'd say. Build from there, don't put in anymore. Remember, you can use a...

    Hershey's Equity thread

    How come you're insulting brother AngryBull? He's a very good trader and possibly better than you! At least he has brought a lot more valuable contributions than you have! "Exercise in sanity"? "As clean as nononsense"? Are you serious about those comments? If so, you probably need...

    Is it really an Edge?

    Agree. There's enough left after all the deletions to answer the questions I think. Plus I persist on my position on randomness, since for example from a system programming point of view this is important. Particularly the newbies shouldn't be allowed to get confused about what randomness...

    I'm Taking a Break

    Great stuff, newtoet! Could you post a few more links, for all of us? :) ~The Scientist

    Is it really an Edge?

    Yeah that's pretty accurate. You're not getting the point here. It's not random. Why the close of the bar and not the high? Which stock / why? You have no timeframe preference? So a monthly chart is OK for you? The fact that you're drawing a line somewhere doesn't make it random either. I...

    Is it really an Edge?

    Fine. But AFAIK none of those people understand probability vs randomness as well as brother dbphoenix does. All feuds aside, this is more his field, anyway. It's not a random entry. It is biased. The fact that you drew a line and then enter above that line automatically makes it non-random...

    The Stochastic Indicator

    Well - First to say : Great you're back! I would have been surprised if you had a bunch of losers just chase you away forever. We know who they are - LOL. Great elaborate post on Trendfader; This post alone should clarify to anyone what an idiot he is - Something most of us already know...

    NQ/ES Pair Trading

    This is a true observation. The answer why NQ is the leading one is because it's the speculative market. The spec market tends to lead the others. Basically, there's the speculative market (Naz), the primary market (Dow) and the S&P finds itself wedged right in between. They tend to...

    The Stochastic Indicator

    Jack is gone. Well, what can I say? It really was to be expected. Finally, trendfader and all the other losers and attention-seekers succeeded in gruelling him out of ET, too. Completely annoyed to death. I have gone through large amounts of Jack's material, not only on ET, but already...

    Gold?

    Well, or to make something very nice out of it. If you were a Jewellery Designer, for example. Most amazing metal in the world. Worked with it for years... Still got some reserves, though. Not just because I like it. ~The Scientist :cool:

    Mental Ceilings and self fulfilling prophesies

    yeaa na warries moit... :p Soros' Reflexivity example is really excellent... Life in Australia can be quite crazy sometimes, even in the "finer" places. Today, I worked in my Jewellery Design business to see how things are (hadn't been there for weeks now), and some of the people that walk...

    Mental Ceilings and self fulfilling prophesies

    That's absolutely right. I never suggested that, either. It's you "with the market", rather than "against the market". However, I want to ride the flow of the market and then take in advance the positions of other traders by predicting their stops via stop-paths. This is an approach far superior...

    Mental Ceilings and self fulfilling prophesies

    Fantastic post OddTrader :) The Reflexivity Theory is one of the potentially most valuable to understand for a trader. I believe that without constant review of his own level of reflexivity a trader cannot become fully accomplished, that is reach a state of maximum objectivity as opposed...

    Baggerlords Journal

    LOL. I didn't even read this thread regarding beggarlords blowout yet, until I got a PM about it if I didn't know this. Now I'm getting why he's hanging around in the "Mental Ceilings" thread abusing me and other traders and being a general stinkboot... Get a life, beggarlord, and stop...
