Hi Nod, I agree. being disciplined 99% of the time is not good enough. I would guess that most active traders are less than 90% though. The very top money makers are probably better than 99% I like the sim trading. I used to never take it serious enough. Now i have been able to put...

Thanks for saying so. Hopefully the chips will increase in size again shortly. Best to you Robert

Correction. RRC and INFY where WW signals not W2

Pretty good day today I partially missed one trade today due to multiple signal alarms going off. I made a change to make the B8 have a different sound as some of the alarms are for non important things if I am not actually trading the stock. At least I was able to get a small piece of it...

Was for the most part a slow day SSYS didn’t do much for me by carrying it over. It came to just better than my basis and then stopped me out. Later in the day today I was watching it for another short but never received the signal. I will be watching it tomorrow to see if it closes above...

How many more quarters can the USA have losses (budget deficits) before it goes BK might be an even more important question. They are probably the same as the US appears to be totally backstopping C in order to keep the wheels from falling off the cart just a little longer. C is kicking out...

I should be able to get caught up in replies within the next few days. Some really good posts and comments so thank you. I am playing catchup with school as my books came late and SSYS took way more time today than I thought it would. Mixed day today I only had one trade today and it was...

I wasn’t able to get much today I came in with a much different attitude today and tried out the sim trade that IB offers so that I could test the other trading features instead of just using booktrader. It was worth doing but its difficult using both live and sim trading at least for me...

Hey TraderSU, I have to agree and never took sim trading seriously. What I intend to do is practice the trades and practice doing the stop outs. Its all about doing the stops. I am limiting my trades with actual money and will continue with WWs in sim mode. My idea is that I will do it...

Thanks NoDoji, Yeah, its EVERY trade that makes the difference. I put up a sign today too. "Losers average losers" in big bold print. Anyone who has seen the Paul T Jones videos knows what I am talking about. Its always the dumbsh*t that gets me into trouble. As if I go from super...

Hello Oraclewizard, The signals are not based on news so looking at it would turn it into discretionary trading which is my biggest problem. Its very easy for me to see what I did wrong after the fact. I had a WW signal that has a valid stoploss that is very small and I choose to ignore the...

Traded poorly today I broke a couple of rules today and paid for it. Firstly I tried to trade BIDU which in itself was not that bad via options but then I refused to get out with a small loss. As this was not a fade there was no reason not to get out but I hate to admit it I didn’t want to...

Started out the day with SNE and ILMN I made a little with each but I came back once to often with ILMN and ended up giving it all back and then some more. SNE was a gap up trade and I ended up scalping some as it was a pretty slow mover. SNE + 41 CRL gave me a B8 short signal and the only...

Much slower day today I took a lot of stop losses as well. I ended up doing ok in the end with MMR but it was up and down all day. I started out great fading the opening but then I received signals to trade that was stopped out several times reversing the gain and putting me in the red. The...

I am on a 200 year program to get a law degree. After all what the world really needs right now is another lawyer !!! : o ) I still plan on trading though as that's my first love Best Robert

Thanks SU !! I am sure glad the market is back to its crazy self again. that Prozac it was taking in much of November and December was was to calming.... have a great 2010 !! Robert

Not a bad day I do start school again today but have not actually started anything yet as I was trading all day. I guess with a day like today I can’t complain to much. I had some winners and losers. I was stopped out of my carry over with FNSR pretty much at the high of the day. I...

Mixed day with some winners and losers. + 1744

Was given a few nice trades today. I did miss a short entry by three cents as I put my offer in three cents above the at that time HOD (might still be the HOD). I never like it when that happens but if I don’t get them once in a while I also know that my offers are too low when I am fading...

Ended the day in the good as well as the week. +576
