All of them, if others use them on intraday charts. And also all of them for my own use on daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly charts.

I have said it before and I will say it again: It's not how many monitors you have, it's how you use them. Moreover, and I have said this before as well, I'd rather have one monitor running at a resolution of 1600x1200 than four monitors at 800x600 each. Another thing that nobody here...

I would be more interested in another question: Has anyone ever made a system that was something like "if the stochastic crosses above 20 and the MACD is positive, enter long at the lower BB ...", then mechanically traded that system and actually made consistent money doing so? Or does...

How do you know I can only make money in a trend? How do you know I'm not a MM?

That is very true. And as a matter of fact, I have to ask myself if I personally can afford to wait for the good times to come back. But the decision is a little easier when I look at the current job market, especially down here in Florida. But I have actually been shifting my resources...

On the other hand, the theta isn't exactly miniscule...

I'm glad you say that, sine I am long March PEP premium over the weekend and was starting to feel really stupid...

I think they do.

Interesting that you don't raise the bid. I am willing to pay 50% of all net profits, every 200 trades. But I keep full control of position size.

Wow! This is a good one. Why can't I come up with ideas like this?

which is still 1.8 too many

How true. Just when I started to really get into it... I have to agree on that point as well. If you are able enough to make $50-80k as a scalper, then you could very likely make a lot more money in a "real" job. My personal reason why I would still not chose a real job is it's not about...

Obviously, too many of us had found the market that fit their needs. That's why they are taking it away.

Yes, who really IS getting those fills? Maybe it's just the specialist himself. That would actually worry me a little less than the alternative...

You wouldn't happen to be employed there?

Of course I would be interested, but I'm afraid I would be merely a "parasite" in such a group. On the other hand, maybe we could use my ideas as contrarian indicators. It seems like whenever I place a (simulated) forex trade, it pulls back just enough to take out my stop.

No, he should be allowed to rack up hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of credit card debt at a convenient 29.99% APR, have the right to a firearm, be able to shoot a suspected trespasser without any legal consequences, but God forbid he were thinking about placing $100 on a bet that EBAY...

I would not be so sure about that.

Hear hear! It's the expert talking.

While I was an even worse trader than I am now (and losing money) there was a long period of time when I had around 90% positive days. The problem was, on the one losing day I had every other week I lost ten times as much as on my average positive day.
