    Will war actually be bullish?

    Yeah, expect a sucker rally and I do not think the war will be that easy this time. Saddam has much more at stake this time than it had before. For him it is a death or life situation. It was not like that in 1991.

    Charting Website

    I can understand that hoopla: QT is free even intraday if you are connected to IB or Datek or some other brokerage that QT supports. One problem with QT though is backfilling and keeping intraday historical data. This cannot be done with QT, but for many that is not a major problem. BTW, what...

    if saddam were to die

    No, I don't think so, but they may have weapons as deadly as Saddam would ever get, but that is of course irrelevant because freedom=oil.

    if saddam were to die

    It would rally at first so that the big boys could get better fills for their shorts... You are right that the war is not about freedom, but I am not sure it will really help to jump start the economy, I mean for a long run. It may help for a while, but then what? Another war? With whom?

    "Ready" to Start Day Trading...

    Ditch's idea seems quite sound to me, have been experimenting with something similar lately but for 1.5 ES pts. It can work, but I am not sure if I would like to work all day like that. One to two hours at most, after that you may lose patience and start making mistakes. Nitro's scalping does...

    Seeing a psychologist

    This is a very important topic, but it should not be under Chit Chat unless you want to invite moronic responses to it.

    Whoa Baby! What happened?

    Of course not, are you kidding, who would trade then? Who would be willing to take a risk like that. It's worse than a Russian rullette.

    The handsomest? No... The most pathetic... Yes!

    Is $4.00 a round turn a good rate?

    You have them for market orders, at least. You just need to define hotkeys to get this done.

    Seeing a psychologist

    They are not bad, but they could have been better, I believe. She poisoned my life and that has had some negative impact on all its aspects, trading included.

    Short Time Frames Losing Their Edges?

    Yes, you are right and that explains why Bill Gates, the founder of Microsloth, did so well in his life. Because his father is also Bill Gates.

    Seeing a psychologist

    Yeah, man, amen. Same with all relationships. Get involved with an immature narcistic nimfo and you will see this in your trading results even months after it is over.

    Futures-Trader, a Simulator for papertrading your IB account

    Good programming job, although I would really like it to be a bit less of a hog on the processor, as it sometimes slows down my SierraChart, especially in a fast market. No other program does that to SC. Of course, I admit I use an inferior OS, Windows 98SE. :D But at least it works for...

    My Losing Trades

    you will most likely be told that you are full of it, so I guess posting your losing trades is a better thing to do.

    Why my threads are the most popular on ET

    It's called a negative selection.

    Short Time Frames Losing Their Edges?

    I agree with you. This could work well in, say, poker and it certainly does. As we all know bluffing is an element of the game and in fact without it the game is not optimal as everyone whoever studied the theory of poker will tell you. I happened to do that for a living a few years back...

    Pray for the families of our lost astronauts

    There are more and less important things, you seem to be lumping them together. The space exploration is probably the most important thing for the future of our civilization unlike exploring Antarctica. The latter is certainly a noble thing to do as well, but not of the same magnitude of...

    market reaction to space shuttle incident

    Well, this accident shows that this country is more vulnerable than you might think. Accidents do happen, but to me these people are true heroes because they undertook this mission knowing that this might happen. Personally, I would like trading to be suspended for one day to have people...

    Regarding the "I'm a Loser" threads

    Or they would tell you that you need to switch to the newest OS as if the system itself was to make you money. I do recognize this type of people, to them edge is something very external. In fact, it is also very internal. Your strategy sometimes can be so simple that you may even not need...

    Regarding the "I'm a Loser" threads

    even if you have a successful strategy. If you cannot take it you should not be trading. Many people expect an immediate success, when it does not happen they quit. That's when they lose. Of course, some are compulsive gamblers, but that has nothing to do with trading. Gamblers have no edge...
