I am not against higher learning. Actually, I think most people should get normal careers like I did when I ran IT operations for a large company after I got some specialized certs after graduating from college. What I am saying is you don't have to be a genius like me, maybe it would...

I agree with much that has already been mentioned. I will assume you have a desktop for sake of argument. As noted in some other posts, replace the CPU fan, the new one should come with some heat sink paste if not you will need to buy some. Also, I would replace any and all fans you have in...

Obviously, if you just turn on the computer and start trading with real money and no plan or edge, you will probably not succeed. If you have a plan, an edge, good money management, you will succeed. To find an edge, you can get a mentor, read some of the real books, practice on sim, and...

With good trade setup and an edge, going for 1:1 is fine. I had a trade today, I made money on a scalp, and would have been stopped out if I held it for longer. However, if I am able to get in at a better position and recognize I am getting in at a good position, then going for more than 1:1...

Good CNBC show on oil right now, I was able to make a small scalping profit long before the big boys or robots tried to mess with people and spike their stops on both the long and short sides.

Yes, 64, but it came with an older bios.

I was able to solve the problem. As noted I previously upgraded the BIOS. I then tested memory with Ultimate Boot Disk. While memory passed I noted a strange thing, it showed only 1512 GB of memory while running the tests. I shut down the computer. I took out both memory chips. I then...

The OS is 64 bit, the Vostro 3555 is this year's model. It's just a cheaper laptop.

My main laptop is down, and I ordered a replacement. To be able to trade I am using a cheap Vostro 3555 from Dell. The problem with the Vostro 3555 is that it had only 2 GB with 1.48 usable, so it was slow. I upgraded to 4 GB of RAM, and it now shows 4 GB (1.48 usable). The usable memory did...

I got long at a bad place today on my 1st trade, after going in my favor it reversed and I got stopped out. I now wish I had a tighter stop on this trade so I would have been stopped out sooner. I then watched the market, saw a better setup long at a lower price, and went in again, and made...

Well, you would need an edge. For example something that has a high win% which suggests with high probability the direction of the market over the next 10 min or so. Now, its very unlikely that someone who spent many years and money finding this edge is going to tell you what it is for free...

Ok. I will have to look at AMP's intraday future margin's for ES, CL, gold, silver, and currency futures plus amount to open an account, unless someone wants to post it here. Sunday was so bad on my CL charts, I traded by memory alone instead of using charts. For example, I remembered...

Congrats, how hard was it to pass?

Also, notice now when I connect ES data is fine, but need to wait 5 min or so for CL to become synced from chart being displayed to actual prices being printed in real time.

Well, this kind of sucks. I use zen-fire for Ninja Trader with Mirus, but can't get $TICK. I e-mailed zen-fire and they don't support it. I don't want to pay $ 50/month just to get this from someone else.

Market looks like chop to me now. Looking for a long at 1361.50 which probably will not come. I guess I should have traded more on Thursday when there were more setups. Looks like I will have 2 days of this week with no trades, and 2 days with trades that were both winners. Will have time...

Their software sucks and they are just snake oil salesmen. You can get free charts from NT and many other trading platforms without paying for useless mentoring courses. In none of the videos are they calling live trades nor do they provide a verified track record. Basically, they offer a...

"Learning how to draw trendlines is pretty straight forward. A trend-line is a line drawn between at least two points on a stock chart where price has previously found support or resistance. The more touches a T/L has the better, as this shows confirmation of its value." Of course seeing the...

I guess my trades would be considered more of a scalp compared to you guys since your stops are much larger than my profits, but very happy with my long blue sky trade on CL May. Goal for today was for full target and to walk away with a win or a loss. I got the win. I also was able to get...

My thoughts: 1) No setups work 100% of the time, so you need to identify win% of the setup based on stop and target selection. 2) Once you have developed that you have to apply standard statistics. For example, lets assume a system has a 50% chance of winning or losing. Can you have a...
