The problem with forums is that you dont see facial expressions and vocal intonations and it often leads to misunderstanding. I didnt read anything sarcastic in BondTraders remarks. I read his remark to mean he considers bonds the ultimate trading vehicle.

This thread is too long to read through so if anybody has already asked for Keltner Channels to be added to the indicators I would second the motion.

I have no problem with a trade getting away from me. I always put in a stoploss after entering a trade and I never remove it. I am religious about this. My problem is my daily stoploss. I never keep that. I wish there was a way to place a mechanical daily stoploss. Someway that would shut my...

When I first started I figured I would be making money after a couple of months. After a couple of months I figured I would be making money after a year. After a year I figured I would be making money in two years. After two and a half years I still am not consistently profitable and am not sure...

. It is extremely frustrating to exit and watch it move on without you. At present, as long as I get at least 2 to 1 on average I am happy. I dont think it is reasonable to expect much more than three to one so my exit is really determined by my risk on the trade. I take the trade when the...

Nick is no dummy. Maybe he'll buy a basketball team with the profits from the sale. Some people know when to get out.

For regulatory purposes Im not sure but imo you are not a pro until you make your living at it.

Tony You need to get past fretting about leaving money on the table. I think a short term trader needs to forget about the big moves. Our job, as LBR says is to "take small pieces out of the market". All you need to do is get a couple of small pieces a day consistently to make all the...

GG Hmm. It uses delayed data to function so I wouldnt think it be available when the market is closed but I may be wrong. I seem to remember trying to get it on the weekends before and not being able to do it. In any case Ill bet you can get in Monday.

Do you have the Java installed? p.s. I dont think its available on saturday if your trying to get in this morning. Try it again Monday.

Ive been putting my spare cash in gold for awhile now so you know what my opinion is. Zeal thinks its possible for gold to hit $5000 an ounce someday. lol.

Yesterday I was totally convinced the market was going up after a small pullback in the morning. The big gap, the Iraq news, etc. I very seldom pay any attention to the news any more and I usually prefer to fade gaps but I really thought this was a market mover. My system told me to short around...

That is the nature of forums. I have been on a number of them and they are all the same. You either grin and bear it or move on.

My definition of overtrading is this: Is each trade you make entered according to your system? Different setups occur more frequently than others so the number of trades varies. If you are taking trades that fall outside of your guidelines you are overtrading. If you have no guidelines you are...

Kymar hit the nail on the head downtickboy. If you are making money consistently then tell us exactly how you are doing it. A lot of people would be happy to be in your shoes.

Downtick You are putting words in my mouth. I was merely asking a question . I probably should have started a separate thread with it because there may be benefits to sharing strategies, I dont know.

In another thread someone mentioned using differnt length tick bars. I have looked through the help section on Advanced Charting and dont see how to get ticks on an advanced chart. Anybody help?

Free my a$$. Registering is a form of payment. They want your email address.

I was thinking about things this morning and was trying to see if there was any other business out there where you would want to help your competition to become more competitive. I couldnt really think of one. Anybody know one? I guess what Im asking is: is there any benefit from helping other...

I have a copy of Williams "Trading Chaos" for sale cheap.
