    EMDR - a good way to reduce Trading Anxiety

    Gee, you even don't need to go to a gym to work out. If you really want you can do this at home. Frankly, I used to do over 50 push-ups in one series working out only at home (my record is 57 push-ups in one series), but recently has gotten pretty lazy. I guess, it's time to get back in shape.

    This is not fun...

    I agree, but I would say it is more a matter of discipline than a personality. I do not believe that there is a strategy for every personality, but with enough discipline and perseverance you can make trading profitable no matter what your strategy is as long as it is not completely off base...

    Nobody could be THAT stupid!!

    everything on others or on the market? It's getting a little bit old, I would say... And it's not a very good substitute for a good strategy. Not all things work all the time, so perhaps what worked before as described in the books you mentioned does not work any more. Have you thought about...

    TRIN and es

    I would caution against using the SP500 data to test ES systems that involve stop-losses. You can get different results, although I believe that you can get a good idea whether a system works or not using only the SP500 data which is more easy to get.

    This is not fun...

    The first 30 min strategy is very good and it works. Today it worked too, in fact it would work great with a 62 FR setup I proposed here some time ago, but even without it. Yes, you need to be flexible and seek new ways to improve your strategy in order to adapt it better to ever changing market...

    This is not fun...

    I disagree. Yes, you can make money in the morning and in the afternoon, but the remaining window can also be exploited if you know how to do it. Most people just prefer to do what others told them to do. It may work and it does many times, but so can other ways. Of course nothing works all the...

    TRIN and es

    That's what I do too. Bollinger bands and stochastics, but I use it along with TICK which I find more relevant. Using TICK without TRIN can be dangerous.

    human elements and colorful pills.

    It does not have to be computerized, but it helps to have it automated or simple enough that you can follow it easily. That's what computers are good at: making some tasks very simple, but if you design a system simple enough and easy to execute you really do not need a computer. But again, if...

    where to begin?

    I too think it is a good book to start with. It covers things that are basic yet important, such as indicator divergences.

    The last one I tried was 2.14c. Yes, ActiveX is/was enabled.

    Ib

    Hmm, really? I cannot get quotes from IB. Do you have an idea what might be wrong? I can get quotes via Auto Trader though and via SierraChart as well, so the problem seems to be related to Bracket Trader.

    Ib

    Bracket Trader sucks in some respects... I used it, now it does not even work under Windows 98.

    Ib

    Sounds interesting. A few questions if you don't mind: 1. Does it work under Windows 98? Some other programs of this kind don't. 2. Can I place a MOC order in an OCA group with it? 3. Can I place more than one order with it? For instance, Auto Trader does not allow you to place a new order...

    where to begin?

    It is more complex than that... you must have a strong discipline to follow your system. Many don't and then they blame that on the systems.
