    TradingTheOpen.com Free Video from 9/15: Winning Alerts, Real trading

    In addition to what Chip Shot mentioned I think a watch list with open positions only would help viewers keep track of what you are doing. I noticed that the page is very busy and I couldn't keep track of which positions were open and which you had closed. I was never sure if you were in a...

    Sure they do. They manipulate price and/or volume to make them more visually pleasing.

    How to Let Your Winning Trades Run: Got ideas?

    Cut looses short; let winners run. Sounds like a plan but hard to do. There is nothing wrong with taking profit at your target. Nothing bad happens when your sitting in cash. A successful trade; you followed your plan

    How to Let Your Winning Trades Run: Got ideas?

    I don't pre-set a target. ( I don't day trade) I do have a plan with specific criteria of when I will exit a trade. When that criteria is met I'm out. There is no wondering what I should do. The trade is over and what happens afterward is something I have no control over. I can only control...

    It doesn't sound like he has a target. I'm not sure he has a well thought out plan for each trade, seems more like a seat of the pants trader.

    I don't disagree with anything you said. Indicators manipulate price and/or volume to make them more visually pleasing. Price has to move before the indicator moves. No one knows what tomorrow will bring. You trade price based on what it has done in the past. No guarantee, only a probability...

    How Melatonin Helps With Fat Loss and Muscle Gain

    Cut back to 1.5 mg (1/4 5mg tablet) Deep sleep has increased to an average of 25 minutes and seems to be increasing every day. Also turning off all electronic devises an hour before I go to bed. No tablet, phone or TV; relax and read a book. Seems to help.

    since we know that all trading courses are bullshit, what would you actually look for in one?

    My point is indicators are tools. It depends on how you use them. To come out and say they don't work is like saying a hammer doesn't work. I'd like to see how you use it to see for myself that it doesn't work. Tweak the above system by either going long or short only depending on the trend...

    Ok; show me a system you backtested that didn't work. Actually I find that the best way to test any system I come up with. Try to find proof that it doesn't work. If I can't prove it doesn't work then I forward test it.

    Books for learning the reasons behind market moves

    It's really simple, supply and demand. You cannot possibly know why traders or investors decide to buy or sell. After the fact you can speculate as to the why but you can only guess at what might happen tomorrow. Go to your local auction to get an idea of how it works.

    Accountant in Toronto Canada

    No; So far I'm claiming Cap gains. It is to my advantage slightly. If I elect to claim gains as income then I can write of expenses so it is pretty well a wash.

    Accountant in Toronto Canada

    If you start making more trading than as an employee they might take another look. Best thing is a good paper trail of earnings and expenses.
