Green: I agree with you. It takes effort, a thoughtful approach and patience to learn this game. A little luck wouldn't hurt as well. If you are interested, you may want to look at some of the charts I have posted. They show a method for trading the ES, that I continue to use today. Also...

Hello: We had a person doing something similar here at ET. For all I know it may be the same person. Offering to sell or facilitate a sale through a third party for a price of $6,000. The material that was offered was kludged together from several sources and some of it was copyrighted from...

Yes I did read your comments, but found them misleading. In addition, new traders would not benefit from your wise counsel since few of them are "automated" traders. Finally, if the signal feed is too slow, it doesn't matter whether they are automated or discretionary, they will still be on the...

Okay then, you use Esignal, and you monitor ticks, however we shouldnt use Esignal for any Tick related signal because they are too slow?:D heehee, I love this. Yep, thats not vague at all. What a generous guy. This way you have a bunch of newbies struggling along trying to make trades on a...

Yes as I mentioned in my previous post. "@Risk" is a good program. Palisade has (or used to have) a student version available for less than $100. Adapts to various distributions including fat tails. Also comes with a nice training manual (if a little brief). definitely the best of the class...

You know what, you are absolutely right. Please do continue as you were Good luck Steve

Hello: When I am kidding, you will know it. Certainly you have a right to your opinions and I support your right to exercise them. Finally, in order to be on the "right side" of a trade, you need to have some basis for knowing (or at least making a good guess) which side is the "right...

Hello: Couple of comments. First, you folks don't seem to be paying attention to the important issues. Its like you read the posts but didnt take time to really look at the charts. Also no one seems to be interested in asking the "right" questions. What are they? Well, instead of asking...

Alan: I always enjoy hearing from you on this subject. My approach is similar in many ways, probably because I have listened to your prior comments. I observe the following: You look to minimize risk first, then you focus is on consistency of returns. This is what professionals do...

Hello: Because of the title of the thread, I thought I would mention a couple of things. First, your "subconcious" state, is your underlying mental set. It is already "designed" or setup for you. It has been there since you were an infant. It is the result of your many experiences in the...

In my opinion, there is very little risk in sharing a trading idea with ET members. Just by reading the posts over a period of time, I know that very few ET members have any real trading skills, and those who actually have a trading account exhibit very little discipline. For anyone who...

Hello Kiwi: Again I know a bit about this because of the conversation I had with my attorneys. You have to understand that for most folks, it is not financially viable to "go after" violators of the copyright law. Take the example of Samson for instance. Although Linda Raschke could go...

Hello: I would like to comment on the issue of copyright and intellectual property. This is in response to Guy's post suggesting that it is okay to code another person's (Elders) indicators. First, let me say that legally (and I have looked into this at length) it is not enough to simply...

Wow that was a lot of words to express a very simple concept Here it is: Bennett and De Los Santos got greedy. They formed a business "entity" to park uncollectable debts (and in the process make themselves quite a bit of money). They obtained the cooperation of several other parties...

It is amazing I think, all the side trips that people will take, and all the resources that they will mobilize in this effort. Apparently many of us will do, and try almost anything except do the hard work of becoming professionally competent. For those who are interested in this idea, let...

Hello: Just wanted to inject a little bit of reality into the discussion. Chelsea is a Stanford graduate (History degree) who went on to Oxford to get an advanced degree (foreign policy I think). I don't know her personally, but my dad work for hers (military) and I remember that he thought...

Hello: The main difference between a blog and a proprietary forum like ET is the latitude that you have in expressing yourself. If you publish your blog on your own site, and you are a resident of the USA, you have near complete freedom to express "your opinon" as guaranteed by the US...

Hello: For retail traders, Option Vue is nice. It is expensive, but the support is good, and I think it is worth it IF you intend to continue to learn as you go along. I have used Peter Hoadley's software and I thought it was quite good. It does not have all the features that OptionVue...

Program does not allow automatic download of (realtime) data from CBOE. Cost is about $350 min. The repair wizards are good in theory but ultimately you will find that trading the options market(s) requires experience that can't be found in a program. Not a bad program if you have a...
