I would say it's the opposite. Entry, exit and stop would be examples of tactics -- the particular decisions executed during actual trading. Strategy is the overall trading framework, encompassing the planning and preparation for all of the above, as well as the choice of markets and...

Try Rubtsovskaya Nab. the ever multilingual, world-traveling Apex (who'd you expect, Viper? :D )

True, no weekly charts on Oanda. MT4 (any demo account) does have them. NetDania has weekly as well as monthly charts. Agree, Sunday open (Monday morning in Auckland, New Zealand) is generally not equal to Friday New York close. This week it was, within a couple of pips. I am not familiar...

What's important is that the OP has been able to obtain a most detailed, comprehensive and definitive answer to his original question, thanks to the always civilized, enjoyable and well-informed ET Hardware Forum Community. :D

Yeah, that's the ticket. Please see the Amazon product page link in my original post above... this is the same Y-splitter VGA cable that would not help Hombre at all. It's amazing how many people above have offered well-intentioned advice, addressing a question other than the simple one...

Joe Ross, "Day Trading" (2005), among his other hands-on books, going back a couple of decades. Some free materials can be found online, to give you a taste. Table of Contents * Please Read This * Daytrading vs. Position Trading - Why Daytrading * The Law of Charts *...

You didn't mention your time zone, but, in any case, your weekly chart is not off. This week's Euro open (which fell on Monday afternoon or evening in many time zones, rather than Tuesday) was indeed little changed from Friday's close. There was no opening gap. There are lots of free fx...

Sure, you can plug in two monitors with a basic VGA/SVGA Y-splitter cable -- as little as $1.69 plus shipping on Amazon, or try your local Radio Shack. But they will, of course, display the same image. Probably not exactly what you have in mind. Assuming you want independent images, I agree...

50 years? Make that 121. US financial markets have traditionally closed for a full day (rarely for part of a day), out of respect, for every dead president since the funeral of Ulysses Grant in 1885.

Yes, there are literally hundreds (and counting) of ETFs listed on non-US exchanges. Including 16 in Japan and 4 in Australia. Virtually all the ETFs worldwide can be found here: http://exchangetradedfunds.com/ They should know; they co-sponsor the annual Global ETF Awards.

Wouldn't it be better, more reliable and for a fraction of the cost, to get a dual Ethernet mobo for your next trading box? One for DSL, one for cable. Windows XP (and, presumably, Vista) will switch over if one connection fails. Other than load balancing -- something I understand very few...

JJ, I don't think that method works for longer threads -- anything over 1 page. File - Save Page As only saves the current page of the thread, i.e., at most 40 posts. Text or html, same problem. Instead, I'd suggest this method: Right-click on the Print icon at the top right. Then Save...

Yes. Regular close today for CME Equity Indexes: http://www.cme.com/trading/res/cch/2007newyears5490.html

Most major US exchanges will be closed for trading on Tuesday Jan. 2nd. One known exception so far: CME currency and interest rate futures. Those will be open until noon CT (i.e., suspended for only 4 hours vs. regular weekday schedule). Source...

There will always be (for the foreseeable future) an ongoing demand in finance for talented individuals who love the markets and whose skill set includes (and is not limited to) strong programming experience or training. Take a look at current "developer" and similar jobs listed, say, here...

Couldn't agree more. Let's think in terms of Van Tharp's powerful concept of "infinite wealth". Paraphrasing, what you need to accumulate, in terms of a specific (to you) combination of assets and/or streams of income, to assure that you'll be able to maintain a particular (again, to you!)...

Richard Schabacker... arguably the "grandfather" of TA, before Edwards and Magee: http://stockcharts.stores.yahoo.net/teanandstmap.html If you look him up on Amazon, recent reprints of his 3 books are available.

I'd say it ultimately comes down to what you are trying to do, for trading or otherwise. I would start by visualizing or even sketching out on a piece of paper just how you're going to arrange all your charts and other apps among the displays. Ergonomics and usability ought to be some of the...

Unlike commodities, a stock's price can go to zero.

Exactly. $5.00 is defined as the threshold for penny stocks on ET. No other reason needed, to delete a thread. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1239240#post1239240
