    what kind of trailing stop are you using?

    This is the final piece of the puzzle for me. Exits are tough. At present I am using fixed number of points but am not too happy with it. Of course some discretion is always neccessary. I will always exit into unusually fast buying or selling or high tick readings on high volume. I doubt that...

    eSignal wish list : the dedicated thread

    When are they going to make Keltner channels a standard indicator that you can adjust? Those three in the formula library dont cut it. Does anybody have them set up with 2.5 x ATR?

    Should a novice play the ES or NQ?

    Why limit yourself. Trade both. Some days one is better than the other for many different reasons.

    "...Live Fast & Die Young, Its Better To Burn Out Than Fade Away..." LOL. I can very distinctly remember saying that I did not want to live past 35 when I was a teenager. I didnt really hit my stride till I was 40. At 50 I was starting to get the hang of things. At 60 I started trading and...

    The 7 Deadly Sins of Trading

    I would have included overtrading on the list. For a long time this was my biggest problem. I would take anything that faintly resembled a setup just because I couldnt stand to be on the sidelines for any length of time. I am an action junkie and slowing down is like pulling teeth but the less I...

    tampa's "short skirt" trades...

    Tampa Have been looking at the Keltners this weekend. Could you clarify how you define an impulse move using them? I see a lot of penetrations of the bands that dont go anywhere. p.s. sorry for going back to the thread all:)

    GURU/Audited Track Records

    Nihaba is a pretty good trader but his methods are complicated. His problem is that he thinks everybody else is dumb. I stopped by his website awhile back but he zapped me when I wouldnt answer a question. Have you ever seen any of those Sienfeld episodes about the soup nazi?

    GURU/Audited Track Records

    Nihaba You have the primary trait needed for good trading: consistency. Almost every post you have made on Elitetrader is a direct critique of some other guru or website and an indirect referral to you and your website. Its getting a little old.

    Brandon I admire your persistence. I trialed your room and liked it a lot. I dont need anyone to make calls for me so I do a lot of trials just to get some conversation. The free rooms suck for the most part. I really enjoyed yours while it was free. You have every right to charge though...

    Chopiness out the a$$

    I see a lot of people on this board complaining about choppiness, etc. and cussing the market. This is a losing attitude. The market chops a lot. That is well known. If this bothers you, quit trading. I cannot remember a day that there has not been a least one good trade and that is all you can...
