Whenever I've wanted to learn something I've always found schools to be much too slow.

I notice one little quirk in that the emini charts axis labels are scaled on the price of the big contract with increments of .10 rather than .50. Its not a problem tho.

Please keep us posted on your progress. Good luck.

The peculiar thing is that the monitor that is maxing at 1024 x 768 is one of the ones on the dualhead. The ATI card is ok.

I am running three monitors on one computer w/win2000. On two of the monitors I have 1280 by 1040 resolution. The third monitor has a max 1024 x 768. On my other computer I am using a single monitor and it had resolution above 1280 x 1040. I thought, "aha, I will switch monitors so I can have...

The wonderful glorious market is a living thing and it adapts and changes with the environment. You want it to back up? If you cant outrun the tiger, say your prayers.

I switched to Esignal from Qcharts after reading some posts here. At first I did not see much difference but after almost a month I have to say that Esignal seems much more steady. I cant recall one stall in the last two weeks and they happened daily on qcharts. I am posting this for those of...

Cab driver Dishwasher Waiter Truck driver I could come up with a few more in a pinch.

I was doing a variation on this theme. Over the last couple of years I got several offers from credit card companies allowing balance transfers at 0 % interest for six months. I didnt make any money from it but saved a lot of money using opm for needed purchases at 0 %interest. Lately these...

Is it possible for me to set up TWS where I can place a trade, put in a 4 point stop loss and have that stoploss move with the market if the trade goes my way? I missed a lot of money yesterday when the market moved my way big time then retraced before I could get back to my computer.

I think you have about the same chance of becoming a succesfull trader as a high school athlete has of making the big leagues. How could it be otherwise? I am grateful it is so hard. I really dont think it has much to do with the state of the market. So many are failing because so many more are...

I think most of the action these days is from "pros" churning each other. As they grab their profit quicker and quicker the oscillations diminish to the point of flatlining. Until the public gets back in again, its going to be tough to make a buck. You have to wait for those days with some kind...

I changed out every component on the darn thing and finally got it to install when I used a different cd rom. Go figure.

Thanks faster. Ill scratch the chipset. Bullfighter thats pretty much what I did. Bare essentials. The new motherboard is a Soyo and it came with the cd but if you cant get the operating system running how does the cd do you any good?

I was using the standard opinion that 9 out of 10 traders fail. I, personally, think the odds are much higher. I really should have asked how many points he was making now. I assumed, perhaps incorrectly, that he was a new trader. If he is presently making a few points a day then I suppose, ten...

I cannot get win2000 to install on one of my computers. It is an 850 Athalon. The peliminary installation will proceed normally until it tries to start for the first time and then I get a fatal system error indicating a hardware problem. Today I bought a new motherboard and tried it again and...

The odds are at least 10 to 1 against you even breaking even.

"with the retail imput of the eminis causing so much noise - i am not sure time is such an important factor with emini trading" I agree, especially with NQ, totally erratic on the micro level.

Build your own. I've built two of them and I'm no expert. I bought a book, "How to build a computer" and followed the directions. Learned a lot. It was really pretty simple.

"when don bright started talking about daytraders doing pairs, i saw the writing on the wall... " LOL. I've been thinking the same thing. When everybody's doing it you better start looking for another strategy.
