    How many different resident trolls are on ET?

    I do remember receiving a death threat from the c-kid in late night hours in PM. Hopefully the other psycho is harmless. :D

    Matcha's Dow E-mini Journal

    Remember what I said upthread... I see price moves in waves. Typically three waves. It will need to have some rests before resuming. That's why it is beneficial to look at price movements in different time-frames. Lower time-frames give better granularities. You will get a better...

    Matcha's Dow E-mini Journal

    Matcha: a few points: 1. Don't give up too easily. Trading is never easy. 2. Get used to losing days. They happen to even the most experienced traders. Channel the frustration in learning something about the losing trades. See if you can spot a behaviorial pattern. You need to...

    How many different resident trolls are on ET?

    How many different resident trolls are on ET? Is the troll who keeps posting something about UN, Israel, conspiracy and one thing or another the same troll who posts anti Jack Hershey stories (or same single story really) over different forums?

    You are more likely to become a top Hollywood actor or popstar than profitable trader

    I appreciate your post, TSGannGalt, I really do. You are one of the reasonable voices. If we cannot even define what "day trading" is, then why be someone such a hardliner "no day traders can make money" - and that is unconditional, in no-uncertainty terms? I know there is a transition...

    Matcha's Dow E-mini Journal

    That's good. I thought Dow and ES wouldn't be too far off from each other.

    during the day "Run to the bank to wire funds into your account" you ever do?

    From my experience... the best thing to do is to liquidate your position to meet your margin call. Sending in money to keep a losing position would typically cost you to lose even more. And wiring funds, though probably the quickest unless you can take your briefcase of cash to your broker's...

    Matcha's Dow E-mini Journal

    Thanks for confirming this and your kind words, ~~~. I know the boom-bust stock cycles in Hong Kong. When you see restaurants offering Shark Fin Mixed with Steamed Rice, bottles after bottles of Remy Martin XOs along the wall... and that older folks and house wives lingering around the...

    Matcha's Dow E-mini Journal

    Do you play with Fib? (Sorry my example is done in S&P as I don't have emini Dow feed. But the concept is the same and the price moves are very similar.) Friday ES down 30 points or so. With a move this big, the following day should be moderately-bearish. Mark Friday's high-to-low (US...

    Trader’s Expo ?

    From a price standpoint, paying $200 to $300 to attend a fee-based presentation for 4 hours seems reasonable. Because typically a formal class runs about $800 to $1000 per day these days. Years ago I attended a "live trading" event (fee based) by Larry Williams. I was totally lost as how he...

    Apple getting bit

    I heard on radio news that the new I-phone allows you to download movies onto the phone. And EDIT them on your phone. My question: Why?

    Here comes the 12 monitor video card

    Those 2 cards look bigger than your desktop chassis. Are they in production now? What kind of bus type connection?

    Argh new Vostro 3700 Dell Laptop has a high pitched noise

    The other moving part is the cooling fan. If failed and not fixed, it can cause overheading on the chip/motherboard.

    Trader’s Expo ?

    Can you trademark something like "trade the market"? :)

    Floored

    A few of them sure live in very nice homes with expensive deco. Made a lot of money, they sure did. But some of them struck me as unsophisticated. Do you think they collect arts really because they truly appreciate the art? Or they just follow "Gordon Gekko" to do it as a show-off and an...

    Trader’s Expo ?

    Here are my takes: Known snake oils to avoid (or I don't think much of what they said anyway): Oliver Velez John Carter (TradeTheMarket) These are good. I would attend theirs whenever I can: John Person (National Futures) Merlin Rothfeld (Online Trading Academy) Toni Turner...

    Floored

    Just finished watching it. I agree with that. The only interview I like was with Linda Bradford Raschke. And it's good to see Rick Santelli too outside of the CNBC frame.

    Argh new Vostro 3700 Dell Laptop has a high pitched noise

    High pitch noise, from my experience, is usually the hard drive. Only moving parts produce high pitch noise (vibrations of some sort). Electronics either works or burnt. If I were you I would do file backups very often because there is no telling when the drive would go out.

    Any Operating System recommendation?

    A box is not that difficult to build these days. I built mine in 4 to 5 hours. Software is a harder question. To jliu21 buddy: I have put Win7 64-bit Ultimate on my new box. I use it for TradeStation 8.7 primarily for trading. I did not see any problem so far - for over a month now...
