    discretionary entries but automated exits

    I was wondering if someone might have a link to software that allows for automated exits on trades. I'm an equities trader who has been struggling with psychology for years now. I find some great trades, but once I'm in, my objective analysis goes out the window, I stare at level 2 and the...

    Prophet.net

    Yeah they are brutal. Their scanning data often shows the previous day's results. They don't seem keen on fixing it. Unfortunately the feature of theirs I need is all the mini charts below any watchlist or scan. It saves so much time when you want to look over tons of charts at once. If...

    Can somebody shut up ALAN GREENSPAN?

    this thread should be titled "who had a bad day in the markets". What a bunch of freakin whiners. I'm sure if greenspan's remarks caused the markets to go up you'd be giggling. You people are the same as traders who blame "market maker games" for their losing trades. Face it, you suck, and...

    Finding Canadian Gappers

    Unfortunately there's no premarket for Canadian stocks, which makes it tough to see what's in play. Anyone know of any software or resource to help see what's set to gap up/down before the actual open?

    What is the best country to leave the US for?

    Nobody cares about any of your political views, seriously. Minds are not being changed here, it's a big waste of time. So unless anyone has more info to contribute on living in far away lands, then someone do us a favor and close this thread.

    What is the best country to leave the US for?

    fatrat, this thread would have been much more useful and far less time consuming if you stuck with the question of living abroad and left your politics out of it. Something to consider for next time.

    What is the best country to leave the US for?

    Elitetrader.com....the most hostile place on earth. Anyone comment on Central/South American destinations for a single 30 year old who wants to get away for 3-5 years to avoid taxes, practice spanish, new experiences, etc. My main concerns are safety, quality of internet, and friendly women...

    Tmta...lol

    shorted a bit this am, flat now. Looking at the deal, the $150 mil initial payment is more than the current market cap (139 mil), plus $20 mil a year on top of that, might there be some value here? I'm mostly technical so any thoughts would be cool.

    Trading fulltime retail with $50k

    just re-read your post. If you haven't done much intraday trading, then DO NOT start with real money. And if you do, trade tiny tiny shares.

    Trading fulltime retail with $50k

    50k with leverage is fine, if your technique is solid and you're in complete control of your emotions, not to mention emotionally detached from your money. But initially it can be tough. Many had/have this problem including myself. When you step out of the box and NEED to make money to...

    "Portable" computer with 3 screens

    God I'd love to get one of those. I'm going to need a portable setup shortly. Have a laptop, getting a triplehead2go, and probably a few of these (though it's hard to find sellers) http://global.shuttle.com/product_detail.jsp?PI=92 Unless anyone has a better solution. I imagine the Acme...

    Moving from "Futures" to "Stocks"

    I switched from futures to stocks and it helped quite a bit. I like fast momentum, so while the futes were great some days, I'd get chopped on the low volume days. I find with stocks there's always something in play that suits my style, it just requires constant screening to find them

    How often you withdraw profits from your account?

    50k at 10:1 leverage is 500k. So doubling 50k is really only a 10% return per month on trading capital. You think nobody can make 100-150% in a year? Try and see past your own limitations.

    64 vit vs 32 bit

    Installed Vista 64bit. Started freezing in the middle of the trading day, only happened when I had all my trading aps open which is quite a lot. Couldn't figure out which one was incompatible, so I went back to 32. Too bad, I was hoping to get the speed boost with all this 64 bit compatible...

    China revaluation imminent?

    The most interesting prediction I've heard is that a rise in the Yuan will also cause an upward spike in all other asian currencies as they are more likely to trade with china's currency than the US. The ensuing huge drop in the US $ will cause foreigners to dump US$ assets including debt...

    Hey Jacker Slackers

    No worries. On friday you mentioned about looking for point 3, thought maybe you wanted to discuss things in real-time. But if it's not something that would be of value, then no point. I guess the novelty of posting charts hasn't worn off yet.

    Hey Jacker Slackers

    He's stated he doesn't start threads, but offers his critique when he sees mistakes. He likes to jump in and out it.
