    ib server down as of 11:55 Aug 16

    Hello: I have a personal account with IB. Frankly I don't use it often, and this is the reason why. Although it has been a while since I lost my connection and services, when it does happen, I generally have to call their broker (RJO?) office to close a position. Cost to me that last time I...

    Traders having ADD?

    You folks are kidding right. I don't know what kind of "trading" you are doing, but my trading business involves research, extensive use of statistics and probabilities, strategic and tactical planing of all kinds, and at the end of the week accounting work during the review of my brokers...

    Mark Cook & Linda Bradford Raschke reads

    I've known Linda a long time. I would say she has improved steadily each year. That is probably why her seminars are "expensive". Personally I think the issue of expense is a matter of perspective (more about that later). She is one of the few traders whose seminars I would actually recommend...

    Revenge of the SIF

    Hello Nitro: I understand. In my view it is your prerogative to do so. I am sorry to see it go this way. I hope you will understand what it is that I object to. I don't have further comment on the original subject so I'll stop here. Thanks for your patience. Steve

    Revenge of the SIF

    You have balls I will give you that. Unfortunately no intelligence to match. Your a scam artist. Period. I've had enough of your bullshit, I've received several emails from folks you have scammed. You have screwed with the wrong folks I think, cause now, they are getting pissed. I...

    Revenge of the SIF

    Now that I think about it, who gave you the authority to tell anyone of us what to do? After all you are a fucking pretend trader, and apparently one with delusions of grandeur. As I understand it, the moderator, or Baron, will decide what can or cannot be posted here. I will trust them to...

    Revenge of the SIF

    Samson Based on your comments and lack of expertise, I am pretty sure you are a liar and a bullshit artist. Is that harsh enough for you? I suggest you ignore my posts. Steve

    Revenge of the SIF

    "That's all I want to say. Anymore and you might verbally tear my head off toooo" Not much chance of that. You know it seems to me that you are one of the folks who are willing to work at this. I think eventually you will find a way to get to your goal. One cant help but admire that...

    Revenge of the SIF

    Hello: I haven't called YOU "Stupid" but based on this post, one can't help but think that the possibility exists. I don't know what the "self whereabouts" means. What I have said is that this job (trading) is difficult, and that to make a living, I advise people to obtain good...

    Revenge of the SIF

    Actually, The concept of a train moving down the tracks was meant to present the idea that there are precursors to price movement, and that thinking of indicators as though they were extensions of the five senses might help traders trying to work in a difficult seasonal environment. The...

    Revenge of the SIF

    Sure, I understand. I took a quick look at Thursday's chart. To me it looks similar in the sense that the last hour's action included a sustained move up starting around 2pm followed by a quick reversal. While I could mark up another chart, it seems to me that either way my point is going...

    Revenge of the SIF

    Ok I took a moment to look at the NQ chart. What I see is a very ordinary chart. When I say ordinary, I mean that this is not unusual action for this time of year. I could offer a lot of observations, but I think the chart speaks for itself. There are many possible ways to interprete a chart...

    Revenge of the SIF

    For the folks who post comments like "no you can't be right" or "I did that and it didn't work", or "its not that simple". I suggest you ignore my posts. Obviously I can't help you. Good luck though. For those who may have "got a clue", the next step would be to ask yourself, which...

    Revenge of the SIF

    Hello: I guess if you got your ass whipped it is natural to talk about how the other guy was much bigger (stronger, faster, etc) than you. Fact is you folks had choices to make, and apparently you made the wrong ones this time. I am all done taking care of the children on the site, but...

    Calculating Sharpe ratio for intraday futures strategy?

    Hello: Interesting that no one responded to this simple question. Seems to say a lot about the education and skill level of the crowd here at ET. I'm not going to say that they are a bunch of idiots, but the thought does cross my mind. First, you need to understand that Sharpe ratio...

    Trading for a Low-Paying Living

    Hi: I guess its either distrubing or funny when people don't listen. Perhaps the voices in your head are distracting you. I said I could tell if a person was an engineer. Thats what I meant. Sorry about using analogies. I don't want to get too complex for the audience. and people wonder...

    Trading for a Low-Paying Living

    Remiraz: I was originally trained as a mechanical engineer. Upon meeting another engineer, we do not ask to see each others credentials. Because we share similar training and experience, during the course of a 15 minute discussion, we can quickly determine our standing within that profession...

    Trading for a Low-Paying Living

    Hi: There have been plenty of posts about this subject. The unpleasant truth is that retail traders generally lack skills, education, discipline and capital. Couple that with poor risk management, and lack of judgement, and you have a train wreck waiting to happen. Successful traders...

    Ah yes, more commentary from folks who couldn't be bothered to read the thread. Too much trouble to do that. What if I had to learn to program (gasp!). Also there's that bothersome problem of having to go into different sites to read that material. What if I get lost? Personally Spyder, I feel...

    Hello Smash Und Grab: Sorry to be so late in replying. Actually my "attack" was not meant for the "weak", but for the lazy. The bible says "The meek shall inheirit the earth", and I believe they will (after I am done with it). In the meantime, I would like to urge the lazy and the apathetic...
