    is this too much or just enough computer

    Personally, I'd go the used workstation route. I recently bought a back-up one for my last generation machines... $90. Newer version with Xeon E5-1650 V2 CPU... like this HP Z420 from Newegg, $599...

    do you typically wait for a "confirmation candle" before going short?

    Yes. And even when you got the confirmation bar... it sometimes failed shortly thereafter, invalidating the "confirmation", did it not?

    do you typically wait for a "confirmation candle" before going short?

    The notion of "confirmation" is a myth.... there is no such thing. Of course you'd like to get some kind of "reinforcement" that you're SURE you're doing the right thing with risking your money.... as would we all. Unfortunately, there is nothing like that.

    Give up my guns?

    Nothing hotter than a great looking, bikini-clad woman wielding a 50-cal hand gun!! :)

    Give up my guns?

    As for the "recoil of an AR-15"... total hogwash. While it's loud (high velocity round = loud noise.. DUH!), it's got little more recoil than a .22 varmit rifle.

    Dennis Gartman... GREAT Lesson In Trading

    My reference to Gartman is ONLY that he has the sense to trade with stops.... no reflection on the accuracy of his calls. Regardless of how smart a trader thinks he is or however convinced about a play, it's a mistake to not use proper stop discipline.

    Dennis Gartman... GREAT Lesson In Trading

    Successful trading is not conditional on having a winning percentage. But it's also true that if you have a large losing percentage, it's going to be very difficult for your winners to offset all of your losers. If your winning percentage is much below 50%, you need to work on your...

    Dennis Gartman... GREAT Lesson In Trading

    If you get "99 losses", you're not doing it right. And as for "let 1 winner ride forever".... unlikely. The market will do PLENTY to make you spit the bit and turn a possible HUGE winner into a small one.

    which moving avgs do most traders use?

    Note the mention of "sometimes"... In your own posted chart....prices sometimes cross back and forth across MAs (especially in sideways markets). During those times, the MA doesn't provide support or resistance.... nor convey oversold/overbought... that is, the market "passed through them like...
