    POLL: Are you troubled more by losing trades or decent moves missed by your method?

    If I worry about missed moves and make bad entries..... well, then I have more losing trades! I could vote in both categories really. Today I decided that if the frigging market doesn't want to give me money on my terms then I'm not going to beg, I'm not going to chase.. same as a couple of...

    is CNN black minority owned now?

    What's racist is continually supporting Blacks with public monies. They are being treated like inferiors that cannot compete in private sector jobs.

    No clue how this works

    There are buyers all the way down. In the crash of '87 lots of traders bought the dips and were stopped out repeatedly until they were broke. I like my screen trading capability with my charting package. As soon as I get filled a stop market order is placed. I can't be caught with no stop in...

    Muslim Mindset: 'The hatred is in Muhammad himself'

    Watch "Total Onslaught" videos. If anybody seems to be well-researched on the subject it's the speaker in those videos. He asserts that Islam was invented by Jesuits to use as a weapon in the Middle East.. I wonder if it didn't get out of hand a bit.. pretty funny if that is the actual case...

    Love of the game

    I loathed the idea of screen trading for the longest time so I worked on automation. Recently I started screen trading and wow, I look forward to it. I'm on the West Coast so I start early, I tip the coffee shop big to know that when I walk in they can start my breakfast and coffee, then I can...

    POLL: Are you troubled more by losing trades or decent moves missed by your method?

    I'm still developing as a screen trader. I focused on automated stuff for years but went to the screen to get further education... my next evolution has to be to get past worrying about losses, my Risk/Reward is about 1:3 and the success rate is very high.. losses [getting stopped out] should...

    **Huge Problem with Orders** in IB

    The YM and the ES both trade on the Globex. I can place a stop-limit order on the YM with the limit either side of the stop. When I place the same order on the ES I can only place the limit at or beyond the stop or IB won't place the order..

    Physics proves the earth is only thousands of years old.

    Evidence doesn't phase evolutionists really. Their text books have thing in them like "the strata is calibrated by the geologic column" and "the geologic column is calibrated by the strata".. there is no calibration there at all. Calibration is comparison to a known standard. I learned one...

    If the economy collapses, are you prepared?

    I was looking at backyard square foot gardening but the b%^ch of a wife forced me out of the house. The current GF loves the outdoors and lives in a campground on the California Coast though, I could go do that, our only overhead would be ammo and food really.. we could trek up a creek from the...

    what is the easiest language for automation?

    I've done VBA, Easy Language and C#. Once you master C# things are much easier and faster to code up than in the other two.

    Why not just reduce taxes for poorer people

    Currently the poor don't pay income taxes so they vote for more government. It's not coming out of their pocket. For that reason progressive taxation simply leads to more government which is what the proponints of it want. That would stay the same with the FairTax. A flat consumption tax is the...
