i trade with 1 monitor. so sometimes i have to do alt+tab or something to change windows before i make a trade. just that right there slows me down. now, i'm not a scalper or anything, so all this isn't really that big a deal to me. eventually i'll get an additional monitor or so.

i know this is not addressed to me, but... the fact that it is illegal right now is absurd.

i'm not saying USA should suddenly go 100% libertarian--that is not going to happen. however, i do think our country would do well to move in a more libertarian direction. http://www.garynolan.com/issues.shtml http://www.badnarik.org/issues/ http://www.harrybrowne.org/...

what i find appalling is this line from the article: "It's ridiculous that the government allows this to happen." government should have NOTHING to do with this.

i use a free program called VNC to access old networked computers running SETI@home. these computers have no keyboards, mice, or monitors. i can access them from my main computer and i see pretty much what would be on screen as if i was using the other computer with its own monitor. the...

yeah! :cool:

actually, at the moment, my system has a better than 50% win rate. i just used 50% as an example. anyway, yes, in the example i know each trade is 50/50, but still, long losing streaks should not happen often. that is the point i'm making. in other words, say you have a 50% win rate and...

this isn't anything ground breaking, but i still think it's good. if you have a way of trading that makes money...and say your loss rate is 50%, there is only a 6.25% chance you will have 4 losers in a row. when you have a loser, or a series of losers, what you should think to yourself is...

well done

i just made over 9% in 3 days. now i know 3 days doesn't necessarily mean much, but at year end i may reveal my year result and shock ET.

thanks, i didn't know... i'm on IB's site now and they also list this option: "Automated Clearing House (ACH) (Only available for US dollar currency withdrawals to accounts at US banks that will accept ACH fund transfers, 1-3 business days to receive)" is that basically what the Datek...

free electronic transfers to banks. years ago, when i traded with datek, they had a thing called, "fundsnow." i entered my bank account # and routing # on their web site, and i could withdraw money from my trading account, right to my bank for free. i think it only took a day or so.

in the spirit of this thread (http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=15079), i decided i'd do an update (10 months later)... win rate 62.5% average win is 4.12x average loser with these trades, i have made +9.05% of my account in 3 days. YEAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the real issue is, do you care about what people think of you, especially if they have a misconception or are stereotyping? if you can trade and know you can, do you care if someone thinks you're probably the 80+% who can't do it? some people know they can trade, so they don't care what...
