Well, yeah, narcissistic is correct. Absolutely. That's my personality disorder. But let's not get into all that stuff. I don't even want to know how to be able to have a lasting relationship with a girl. I would like to just know if there are people who have had a problem knowing exactly what...

I know I am doing something wrong, both with girls and with trading and with my life. That is why I came to this section of the forum to get some advice. So what is your advice? You two are telling me "you got problems and I don't". Wow, that's great. I bet you also go up to people begging...

There's people like me that... when it comes to picking girlfriends and trades, they have been used to challenge all their life, trained to race, that if you have it all set up for you and all you have to do is pick the money or the girl, you don't go for it. You'd rather go for an almost...

This problem that you (referring to the author of this thread) and I have, has motivated me since a few years ago to work on developing an automated trading system, so to have something that will trade consistently no matter how much it wins or loses (the system won't get bored, tired or...

Here's my advice, for your psychological problems. You have a problem because you trade out of frustration, out of boredom, just like sometimes we eat out of frustration or boredom. First of all, you should realize that you can do anything out of boredom/frustration, but whereas scratching...

Thank you for your help.

I just wanted to make sure that if anything went wrong (I got sick, I was in a coma for a month), I wouldn't get a train full of potatoes delivered to me. 800 dollars per lot? What is that for 1 contract? Just 800 for 1 contract? As long as I don't lose 100,000 dollars, it's ok. So I made...

Thank you very much. You made an error due to distraction and you paid a lot of money for it. Ok, my question is exactly how much money do you lose if you make a mistake like that? Say you have a NYMEX CL contract - how much do you lose due to a mistake like that? 1000 dollars or more?

What happens if I am holding one of these futures (agricultural and such) and they reach expiration? Are they going to deliver the soybeans to my house or can I still cancel it? I am using IB TWS and on some of these futures there's no warning of expiration ("roll over" warning). In case I...

I found out and I will write it down here for future reference. Gold is this (in my opinion): expiring every 2 months: at the close of business on the third to last business day of each odd month, the even month contract in place is replaced with the next (ending odd month + 3 months) even...

Hey guys, my fault - I had it all wrong and I have to take it all back. Tradestation was giving me a "20002 error" ("error creating new report") for ALL data and not just for the disktrading.com GC and CL data. So I reinstalled tradestation over the previous installation, solved the error...

Well, all right, I'll give them a call. Sorry if I sounded disrespectful to you - I just wanted to state that the site was not too clear. But since you are saying they are the best, I will try harder. Thanks for your time and patience.

Thank you for the link, even though I'm having a hard time understanding what data they are offering. This data vendor claims to be the best data vendor in the world. I would even trust them, however, their web site is not at all user friendly and it's built like a labyrinth. That seems a...

It seems ridiculous to me, but I can't find a place to buy NYMEX Gold and Light Sweet Crude Oil data. I bought it from disktrading.com for 20 dollars each, but it has problems and no matter how hard I try, tradestation won't produce a report on it. I checked at NYMEX.com and they don't even...

No idea how it works... May and April contracts actually coexist...

Thanks for the info. What about the testing? Do I have to test all these contracts every year? Any news for the Crude Oil... Here's a link on the GOLD contracts...by the way... October is also there. So you might have forgotten it. It is then 6 contracts per year...

Excuse my ignorance. Can anyone tell me why the NYMEX Gold and Crude Oil futures have contracts for each month of the year whereas futures such as CME ES and forex futures only have contracts and rollover every 3 months? Did I see right and why is it? Also, please tell me how do I go about...

I needed 1 minute data. I am trading with IB. Their data only goes back two years. Thank you for the link.

I got it. Maybe I will look into this: http://www.eurexchange.com/market/historical_orderbook_en.html http://deutsche-boerse.com/dbag/dispatch/en/kir/gdb_navigation/market_data_analytics/30_historical_market_data...

If no one wants to trade this data, please tell me where I could buy it. Thanks.
