Good post Ramoutar. I have realized that I have almost zero fear of losing trades. It is fear of "missing out" that is my fear. This fear is by no means out of control, but it does cause me to take the half ass trades that are part of my setup, instead of just waiting for the good ones. I am...

Miami Vice : 10:00 am eastern. I usually make money when Crocket and Tubs are on.

The book is excellent at explaining the practical application of fibonacci.

hello Mr. Market. I was only able to play flag football and indoor soccer as a youth. My parents had no interest or money for me to play tackle football with the cool kids. Therefor, football at an Ivy league school was never a possibility. As a result, I feel far inferior to my fellow...

I just went to the ATI website and installed the latest Driver for the Radeon 9000 series. Hopefully this will work. Thanks

I have a Radeon 9000 and I am experiencing the same problem: About every other day my machine freezes. Could it be an application program that is causing the problem?

Sounds familiar funky. I have been at it daily the past 3.5 months (2 years position trading before that) and I have been breakeven the past 2 weeks (usually a couple of up days then a down day or vice/versa). The thing that is helping me is I only trade one method and am trying to become an...

I trade SPY and take my signals from ES. One thing I am realizing is that success in SPY will not equate to the same success in ES. Given that I might make 5 to 10 trades a day and enter Breakouts from trend consolidation patterns, The larger Tick increments in ES would affect my bottom line...

Trade Your Way to Financial Freedom by Van K. Tharp.

I trade SPY using breakouts out of consolidation patterns within the context of a trend on the 1 minute chart. I use super tight stops, therefor, I have many very small losses. Given that, my methodology is dependant on 2 to 3 large wins per week. I use a 2 bar trailing stop (1 minute chart)...

Check out loopholesoftware.com. Their software in conjunction with Sockcap 5 worked like a charm for me at work. Do a forum search on loophole and you will get the information you need.

After updating my TWS this morning, I was suddenly logged off after about 30 minutes (My internet connection was working fine). I was unable to log back in so I started the Browser Based TWS and it is running OK.

Sorry about the previous link ( I included a . at the end) http://www.vtoreport.com/sentiment/sentiment.htm

Check out this link to see the insanely shortage of Bearish sentiment: http://www.vtoreport.com/sentiment/sentiment.htm. We are at levels not even seen during the height of the Bubble. I am really looking forward (when, I don't know) to trade some large intraday down moves.

Thanks Yars. That's exactly what I was looking for.

Is it possible to enter a limit order in TWS (using hot keys) and automatically have a fixed amount added/subtracted (depending wether you are buying or shorting) to the limit price? I trade SPY on breakouts out of trend consolidations on the 1 minute chart and have been using market orders...

Hey Trend Fader, I used to scale out of positions until I read "Trade your way to Financial Freedom" by Van K. Tharp. He discourages this method and I decided to crunch the numbers myself. I couldn't come up with any realistic combination of wins and losses in which it was financially...

I have 2 dell 19' LCDs with one running through a digital input while the second runs through an analog input. I can tell no difference between the two and neither can my friends.

trend lines are often broken, only to be re-drawn once a higher high is made.

My first stock purchase was Nortel Networks (NT) in late 2000. I bought because it had a S&P 5 star rating. I purchased 25 shares for $45 and sold it about 10 months later for $8. About the time I sold my shares, the guy in the cube next to me mentioned something about technical Analysis. I...
