Agree 100%. Sometimes not having to worry about money is all you need. To each his own. BTW, I just say I'm a trader. They usually ask "daytrader?" I'll say "usually". Sometimes the convo stops right there, other times I'll make the effort to explain how I use different...

OK, not to veer away from the environmental rant which is so entertaining, but... I stopped feeling guilty when I realized daytrading is simply a game. If others want to play with me and lose, that's their problem. The stock market exists for people to make money. Why is the time frame...

Just read this on Brett Steenbarger's blog: "Among the predictors of trading success, a "passion for trading" is grossly overrated. The successful traders have a passion for markets, which is very different from a passion for trading. Indeed, a passion for trading in the absence of passion...

April 12th. 2:30 pm. 45 degrees latitude. 33 degrees fahrenheit. Light snow. I hereby poo poo on your global warming theory. At least the Masters is on TV. And Oh yeah, Thank you to whomever for that whole beer invention thing. Much regards.

I love you. My daughter is 15. Again, I love you.

It is April 10th at 9:30 pm, and there is currently a thunder snowstorm going on outside my window right now at 36 degrees. The normal high temp, for this date, at my location is 53 degrees. I normally have 4 or 5 rounds of golf in at this time every year because of the occasional 60 or 70...

Years and years ago, when I was young and irresponsible, a Sherrif came to my door, and handed me a very official looking form. I called my manager and asked "So that's it then?" She said, "No, if you are able to pay in full, I am still able to cancel the eviction." I think this is up to...

It's nice to know I'm not the slow learner I thought I was. "5 years","thousands of screen hours." They're not just cliches. I read an article in SFO mag a while back which stated 10 to 20 thousand screen hours are necessary to become truly proficient. Although this seems high, and...

Ditto for me... thought it a tad strange...

Yep. I thought my computer was retarded, until I saw some of the usual threads popping up.

Let's see: 1. Not going against the trend. 2. Cutting losses. 3. Letting winners run. 4. Rarely exposing yourself to overnight risk. Doesn't sound like luck to me. Keep up the good work!

I'm real. Well at least I hope I am. If not, who's going to feed my dog tomorrow?

Mainly in an office in the northland, but remote when it's just too much of a pain in the ass to get there because of snow, or cold. (yes traffic sucks when it is extremely cold for some reason) God winter is getting old. A balmy 30 degrees at noon on March 15th.

So you programmed it yourself? Well, crap. I suppose it's time I learn how to do this stuff. VB? C#? Something else?

Thanks. But just for the record, I trade with Echo. Have for years now. I thought the sterling reference would have been a clue that retail is not an issue, but oh well. Thanks for the info though. I just wonder why the Telechart platform is so fluid (when it works), and registers higher...

Thanks, but that kind of illustrates what I'm talking about. The low tick on TOS is -1363, and it made it down to -1306 at 1:10 central time today. The problem is that TOS is slow, so it makes me wonder what the real lows were on the tick today. I don't mean to be nit-picky, but I'm...

Sterling is way too late and slow. Qcharts (Esignal) is slow also, The $TICK chart on Think or Swim is OK but doesn't register every tick (the actual tick may go below -1000 on TC2000 (see below), but TOS may only register a low of -850 or so). TC2000 Realtime is the best I've found so...

Is that Stock_trad3r?:)

I bet Grasso's laughing his ass off.

Very nice. 2 q's though. How comfortable is the chair? I'm not sure how I'd do with wooden arm rests. And what is that scraggly dead stick looking thing on the corner of your desk? thx.
