    How to manage so much information of Forum

    Imagine if you go to a college class lecture, what software do you use to take notes on your laptop? I use Microsoft OneNote (part of Microsoft Office). I don't think you would need to capture everything in a post typically. Perhaps just highlight the paragraphs you want to save, then...

    Matcha's Dow E-mini Journal

    Just remember that there are days that there should not be any shorts. And there are days that there should not be any longs. The market environment is important. That's like the tide current flowing under the Golden Gate Bridge. Going in the direction of the tide is so much easier and...

    TOS update??

    I don't use TOS. But this story reminds me of Schwab's take-over of CyberTrader. I loved CyberTrader a few years back. But since Schwab took them over and did the "integration", they managed to turn Cyber into crap.

    first basic home trade station questions

    Back to that question upthread: what is your requirement for your box? I agree that if you don't do heavy number crunching, an i5 processor box would be plenty. A ready-to-use box is about $500-$700. The only thing is most of the boxes I have seen offered only 1 available PCIe X16 slot...

    New Dell Setup - Is it overpriced ?

    It does seem that over in Europe (and other countries as well) computer things are sold at quite a bit higher price. More than the costs of transportation alone. Maybe it's the cost of doing business over there? Import taxes/controls? Can one buy over the Internet and ship international...

    first basic home trade station questions

    Which one? And... You said "your builder" picked the components and built (or was going to build) a system for you. (And sell to you at $1400+?) If you already are going to have this, is there any room for pick-and-choose? Are you using his list as a model and are going to build it...

    Working on Consistent Profitability

    Draw a reference line of 1.0 on the TRIN chart. 1.0 is neutral. Generally... TRIN below 1.0 is bullish, above 1.0 is bearish. A bullish day, you typically see TRIN around 0.5 or so. A bearish day, you typically see TRIN above 2.0 or so. It has to been taken consideration into the...

    Will PC trading software migrate to ipad?

    What would be the desirable points in running trading software on an ipad? So you can trade from the kitchen walking to the living room? That you really like no-mouse and no-keyboard set up? Not being an ass. Just want to the know what the driving factors are for people to use ipad.

    first basic home trade station questions

    I was a bit surprised by the price for the case too at first. Then I realized the case includes a 750W power supply. Then it is not too far off. I bought mine separately. The case was about $100. The 650W power supply was about $70, somethinig like that. Not too far off. RE: 1...

    Matcha's Dow E-mini Journal

    On a day like this... (Dow +200 to almost 300, bullish from the get go)... Forget about any idea to short. Just FORGET IT. The right mindset should be trying to look for a "bearish" moment to long. Shorts are not going anywhere. Tomorrow too. If there is a moment near the opening...

    Working on Consistent Profitability

    Same question that I posted to Matcha: Today... $TRIN = 0.2-0.3 most of the day Advancers to Decliners Ratio - 6 to 1 Why do you want to do a short trade???? Is this like moths always need to flock to the candle light? The right mindset should be trying to look for a "bearish"...

    I have thought about visiting Shanghai this year to catch the Expo. But after seeing footages on TV news before the opening, and saw the big waves of people and lines... I had changed my mind.

    Yeah. Those mantis shrimp have very little meat inside. I am not that fond of them. What did you expect? Come out from the car and take you to "yum cha"? You are lucky he didn't cuss out at you loud! :p Welcome to the reality of Hong Kong. The non-touristy side.

    Matcha: 1. Welcome back! I presume that you had a great time in Hong Kong and Shanghai! 2. Did you look at today's market internals? $TRIN = 0.2-0.3 most of the day Advancers to Decliners Ratio - 6 to 1 Tell me again WHY you want to do a short trade???? Sorry... see this as...

    the sexual life of a trader

    How can an insensible opening post be turned into something sensible? "How many times do you do it with your wife, GF, (whomever)?"... Come on! It's nobody's business. If the post was something about some reports saying per "scientific studies" having sex >n times a week with a partner...

    Things that identify a bubble/Top

    When you see a brokerage firm running commericals on TV touting that you can drive a tow truck and trade stocks on the side and make enough money to buy an island.

    The bottom is in...

    What would you suggest? If you look at a price chart, you are pretty much doing your Technical Analysis. I am not talking about indicator/no-indicator. Analysis on a price chart, in its broad definition, is Technical Analysis. Are you trading like Buffett? You analyze the company's book...
