    Free Live S&P Squawk Box

    Thanks V I just loaded it...that guy is a bit too fast for me. Can barely understand half of what he's saying. I used a different service last year which was better IMO.

    Competing Objectives...Who Wins?

    I think successful trading firms realize that they will make a ton of cash if they have a ton of successful traders. There have been many firms after the fast buck. They do not train traders. They think they made a lot of money. I see so many existing firms that have the opportunity to become...

    Echo Trade, one of the best firms out there

    Normally, I would not continue in a thread like this...but I could not resist. 1) Let me be clear, I like Echotrade. I've been with them for over a year. If I had any major complaints I would have left already. I've had countless offers at other firms for lower rates. 2)I update my software...

    HELP! my winning days are killing me!

    This is a problem that plagued me for a long time. And it still does from time to time. What works for me is: you absolutely must calculate your target and stick to it. If your risk reward is 1 to 3 then once you set your stop, set your target order. And then I walk away from my desk. I'll...

    Echo Trade, one of the best firms out there

    I've been with them for over a year now...and really have few complaints. so I guess I'll have to agree with you. If I had one thing that bothers me is that certain fees have actually been going up (software)...seems like they used to be more competitive . Other than that, I'm a happy...

    FSG/Sterling Trader

    Sterling is not a good platform for stochastics of any kind. I tried running RSI on the charts for awhile, but it just didn't seem very accurate. I don't think you can customize it the way you'd like. To be sure, contact your firm or better yet Sterling www.sterlingtechnologiesinc.com...

    I want my HDTV

    I recently purchased a new TV , and considered buying HDTV...after some research it really didn't seem worth the $.....it might be in 3-5yrs. So I went with a standard Sony Flat CRT. and digital cable with S-Input. Really nice. Good Luck.

    bull market?

    surf- would you mind sharing some of the patterns you see? 9000 Dow (which is 6% up) would not surprise me, what is bothersome is the earnings outlook. Companies are cutting down future business to meet today's Wall St. numbers. S&P still trading on the high side on trailing 12mo P/E basis...

    zagged when it should have zigged

    Same here....except it was (SPY) , thankfully I was in very small because that 200d MA was staring me in the face. Hopefully the market will just chop sideways all day. (i say this because usually what ever I wish for, the opposite happens) :) Happy Trading. TGIF

    One if by land, two if by sea, three if by air

    hii- Enjoy your march. And while you're walking along the Charles or where ever you might be in our beautiful country, think about how lucky you are to have the ability to protest and express your feelings. And when you walk to your home, and have a nice hot dinner, consider yourself lucky...

    Is this week much tougher for anyone else?

    I've been thinking thesame thing....one thing I've been doing (only thing that has made me $ in the past 2 days) is putting a $10 in a can everytime the DOW crosses unch level. The last 3 days ..all week for that ...has sucked...went nowhere slowly. On the bright side, it's Friday!:D

    Bad Ticks, How do you handle them in the charts?

    depending on what software you're using, you may be able to erase a bad tick with ease. Try right clicking on the bar...or if you can get each trades in a window for that bar, you can erase that bad tick. I know you can do it on Realtick. Good luck.
