    Honestly, you should find another source of income. If you're a newbie, and you want to make a living trading, you honestly have almost no chance.

    I am very new and need help

    A woman walks into a shop that sells expensive Persian Rugs. Looking around, she spots the perfect rug, walks over and inspects it. As she bends to feel the texture of the rug she farts loudly. Very embarrassed she looks around nervously to see if anyone has noticed her 'little...

    Any alternative to Prophet.net charts?

    E signal end of day data is only 25 dollars a month. For an extra 10 bucks you can get many years of minute data, or for the 25 you get around 6 months of minute data. Thinkorswim.com is free is you have a brokerage account. Charts probably similiar to your other.

    Schools face big budget holes as stimulus runs out

    I've got to admit it's strange that we're building schools in Afghanastan an Iraq, and cutting funding in our own country. This also shows that we're far from recovery. Every company, city, and state is continuing to lay people off.

    What to screen for in stocks to swing trade

    I like to see consensus earning's estimates being revised up. Nothing better than an upgrade to give a boost to price. Usually analyst will steadily upgrade futures earnings estimates prior to giving an upgrade, so this way you can get in before the fact. You can check this at...

    Setting stop, Averaging down 1 time, whipsaw

    Instead of averaging down you could hedge. Where you would normally put a stop, put a line in the sand and short to cover your long. You will probably need two seperate accounts to do this. Then, you can keep taking stabs at the bottom or draw a line in the sand to take profits from your...

    Wells Fargo Looking To Add 1,400 Advisors

    Sorry to rant here, but the best salesman is a salesman who believe in the product their selling. Newlings will, seasoned dogs will just have to lie, so they won't be as effective.

    Wells Fargo Looking To Add 1,400 Advisors

    But they want fresh meat that will buy at the bullshit they're about to feed them. They don't want a seasoned dog who'll be too opininated. They always snatch up newlings.

    Index Etf

    Also, verify how closely the ETF will actually follow the index it tracks. Bear ETFs can great fail at tracking, as can triple or even double ETFs.

    Pro Traders...please tell me what I'm doing wrong - how can I change it ?

    Here's some advice from Larry Williams. 45 year futures trader, inventor of the bollinger bands, and a man with style. Stop trading. If he can't do it, don't be surprised that you can't. Check out his track record for his newsletter with futures entries...

    eSignal 11 Preview

    I love E signal too, but have found the data too be unreliable lately. I have to use my IB to double check all quotes. If E signal were free it would be awesome, as a paid service, I expect accurate quotes. I think E signal needs to focus on quality of data and quotes, and forget about the...

    Latest Broker Ratings...Is A Joke

    I think alot of the IB bashing comes from the smaller futures brokers who want to convince people to use them. If newer traders find out they can trade for the same commission and get better fills, then they'll be out of business. I never have a problem getting filled, and I never have...

    Iran leader says Israel's destruction 'imminent

    Israel will need to bomb Iranian nuclear sites before Russia arms Iran with an anti air system, otherwise they won't be able to, or it will atleast be much more costly for them to. Oil should spike, as should companies selling I hate Jews signs. Also rock quarrys should flouish as...

    eminidaytrader.com - anyone ever use it?

    Almost any system will make money if you don't have to deal with getting knocked out just before a big runner, or having it run a bit in your direction and then turn back to take you out, just before making a nice move. You know how it works. In hindsight every system is great. That's...

    Candle print question

    Thanks for the reply but I don't agree. I think it's a blatant mistake on E signal's charts. What if the 5 minute candle in question was the 9:30? If at 9:30:00 the very first order is a sell order at 1000, then the open would be 1000. If it 9:29:59 there had been a buy order for 1 at...

    Candle print question

    It does matter if you're waiting for a signal for fire off. I use E signal and thinkorswim don't accept data feed from IB. E signal manages their own data from the exchange and cost a lot of money. I think E signal should quote accurate candles if they're charging so much for them. The time...
