They also (possibly falsely) assume that an MBA graduate knows more about fundamental analysis and how to get info out of companys' management than a "typical" successful trader. When looked from a different angle it's a very interesting observation. Larger hedge funds tend to hire folks with...

Do you have Aero enabled?

There are 2 points here. First, fund managers that loose money keep being paid because they have running costs. They hire staff, lease an office etc. So, these running costs have to be covered before a fund can start functioning. If the fund manager has a large chunk of his or her own wealth...

Ghost of Cutten, you need to add to the list scaling in and out of the position. In a long trend it' feasible to scale out and scale back in multiple times.

Clearing furms in the strict sense do exactly that: they keep electornic "paperwork" regarding your trades. To use a clearing firm you need your own market access (presumably as an exchange member) and your own source of credit (if you need leverage). There are a number of firms that...

I feel obliged to point out that a few of the suggested interpretations go to the contrary of the sprit of the book: I think this is totally wrong. You don't need to know what is likely to happen next all the time. In fact, most of the time you may have no clue regarding what is going to happen...

What cstfx wrote is very thorough advice. One more thing to consider is whether what you are doing is sensitive to fills. If you do only market orders many ECNs offer pretty good simulated execution. However, if you heavily rely on limit orders, in particular you may alwasy try to buy at bid...

A few traders in London run a similar arrangement http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=180747

I record most shows I want to see and watch them later. It takes only a few seconds to skip forward through 5-10 minutes of ads.

The way you describe it, to me it looks like the scaling out in the execise is working as expected. Namely a) It rewards the trader emotionally for making a discipline decision; b) It promotes the attitude that trading is similar to gamling (not roulette, but, say, poker) in the sense you never...

You can download some of the earlier TWS builds from NinjaTrader Web-site. They only have 906 and 900 (and many more earlier builds though) http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/ninjatrader/TWS/

That's an interesting view on Trading in the Zone. It explains why people, who have already resolved most of their psychological difficulties, often find themselves, let's say, unimressed by the book. My takeaway was totally opposite. The main idea of the first few chapters is with any amount...

And the screen isn't as good as on iPhone 4 either. It's all about battery life. As it is, it's already way too heavy to be used as a book/magazine replacement. Think HTC Desre (recent Android phone). It has bright screen, proper multitasking... and with a few aps running in the background...

I guess traders come from various backgrounds. Some come from nuclear physics...

If you add a worktop to a stove some start calling it "a kitchen." I guess it's a marketing ploy too.

In this case iPhone is a computer too... as well as many of the iPods or blackberry.

As a few posters have mentioned above, Dell offers a very good price if you go for one of their "deals". However, if you go for any extras like larger RAM or different graphics card, the price quickly rises through the roof. Some of these are still a very good deal for users who are happy to...

"Simulation" trading account is sure cheaper than loosing real money :)
