    Simple Profitable Method

    electric, This is a typical ER2 Friday, although worst than most. Usually good moves occur within 1.5 hrs of open on a Friday then the remainder of the day sucks.

    Simple Profitable Method

    Electric, 1 tick = $10. ER2 is a great instrument to trade when it's moving but you need a way to filter out the chop, such as ADX. This morning is a perfect example. I've been in a no trade zone since 8:45. I use a 12 unit ADX and stay out when it's below 17. I might add that I trade...

    Agree! I like the guy but I feel myself silently encouraging him to complete his thought process as he speaks.

    Questions about Tithing

    Vhehn, If I may add my 10% here, tithing is biblical (described in OT and implied in several NT passages) but it’s not required in the New Covenant (NC) (relationship between God and Christians). Maybe that’s what you mean by it not being biblical. You are correct in that it’s NOT...

    Questions about Tithing

    Math_Wiz Tithe as you take money out of your account(s) for personal use, such as paying bills, mortgage, etc., not as you extract money from the markets. Again, tithe as you take money out of your account(s). Don't tithe based on account balances at the end of week or month. If you have a...

    Worth switching from IB to Tradestation for the platform?

    mightymight, It's a feature rich tool with only tutorials and help files to learn by. I like being able to practice and become familiar with tools before using them live. I'm sure there are others that jump right in but that's not me. If it had just 3 or 4 buttons (buy,sell,close,cancel)...

    Worth switching from IB to Tradestation for the platform?

    I use both. TS for charting and IB/ButtonTrader for execution. I don't use the TradeStation Matrix but it seems to provide all, if not more, functionality as TWS. The primary reason for not using the Matrix is because TradeStation does not provide a dummy account to practice on before going...

    DSL or Cable for fast Trading?

    You should have backup systems for both internet and power, especially if you are trading out of your house. For internet connectivity I use both cable and DSL with a hotbrick dual wan router <url>http://www.hotbrick.com/produto.asp?tipo=2&codPro=22</url> for failover protection. It's good to...

    Strange question for traders at home

    AAAintheBeltway, Since this is Easter weekend, I’ll go easy on you in my response, and keep it short. First of all, FVK OFF! You know nothing about me or my kids, who by the way are 18+, and then make absurd assumptions about their behavior, my neighbors or anything else about my...

    Strange question for traders at home

    2 college kids living at home and they want to “experience” the college life…..at home. Translation: I’m up till 1 to 2AM on most nights and get up by 7:30. The hours are killing me but I can’t sleep until they’re home. 2007 will be great when they go off to college. Typical...
