+1 Just draw a monthly equity curve, write some stats like win ratio etc. compute and put monthly sharpe and.... mention different strategies that you use. That should be it. As Attachements - put in broker statement (just put in 1-2 pages and say rest can be given if desired). Buy a...

Short 1421.5 will hold overnight, target 1418, 1419 and 1420.

volume spike on nq still going strong....wonder what does it mean!

I am doing tightening on multiple fronts, including a lot of points covered in the book "Prince of the Pits" about the trading setup: 1) Getting a new monitor - one monitor will be for research and another for trading. 2) I will unlock my trading platform only when a trade presents itself...

Too many responses so its hard to reply individually. Basically, I moved to a larger account after trading a very small account and I got hit before I could settle myself. I normally trade ES and FX. My biggest single trade loss came post AAPL earnings release. I miscalculated leverage on NQ...

What a week! Lost half my account. It is clear that I have jumped with the larger account without tying all the losing ends. This week has set-me back by a long period. Positive thing is that I got hit in the face in the first week itself. This weekend - my sole focus is to tighten all the...

Lots of reasons - Used double the leverage that I should have used, missed a trade early in the week that affected my psyche for the whole damn week, traded NQ post AAPL release - it was a bad decision. And was too eager to get long, without waiting for a clear bottom to form. Had I waited for...

Thanks, that was funny and I laughed. Was pretty stressed out after sitting in such a Drawdown. LOL.

out for a 2.5 point loss. This is the 4th day in succession when I have tried long and my direction was incorrect and had to sit through deep intraday drawdown, even though I managed to get out with relatively small losses at the end of day. Very hard trading for me the last 4 days. Now short...

As far as hack attempts are concerned, I think normal ET population need not worry about it. Only highly profitable traders who post their PL in the PL thread or in their journals need to be concerned. Guys who come to mind are like lescor etc. It is definitely plausible to think that a...

I am trying long again today. Long from 1408.75, Target 1415 and 1419.

Hi there, I have no idea how serious this hacking possibility is. Maybe Spectre has some story to share. Let us see what he says.

Spectre, Can you please post more information and your experience with this thing. This seems pretty serious info and I think I am hearing it first time on ET. Follow up question: How did you come to know that your system is being hacked? What counter-measures did you adopt, if any. Thanks...
