My opinion and advice to you (OP): You are a technical trader. Leave those financial newspapers, CNBC/Bloomberg channels, picking service to investors. They won't do you anything. Zip. That's my conclusion of subscribing to those in my first 4 to 5 years of trading. Anything...

After hour trading is only done in ECNs. No market makers participate (or they do so in ECNs but they are not required to post an ask and a bid as they are during regular hours). The "bid" and "ask" prices that you see are posted by ECN participants. They are only available as long as the...

You kept missing the point. Your assertion was not logical. Absence of proof is not proof of absence. Or perhaps you didn't have any training in science or logic. You are like saying: I have never seen a pink dolphin. Therefore pink dolphins don't exist. Using your own suggestion...

You meant Neke's journal thread? Or this thread that asked if Neke has blown up? Neke only posts an update once a week. And he doesn't interact much with the readers.

I have an existing Compaq box: SR5710F, which has a processor: Athlon X2 (B) 4450e 2.3 GHz (45W) I just noticed that this box is not fast enough to compute some of the more sophisticated indicators I developed. I need a faster CPU. When shopping for some of the newer desktops, such as...

The issue is: people make generalized statements with no qualifier. It's one thing to say: Daytrading is very hard, or I doubt that there are very many successful daytraders out there, or most who attempted daytrading failed, myself included. Take a look at what "crgarcia" posted. Most of...

English is not your first language. Then you should be very careful when you make a post with some bold statements. What you said: Just in case anyone has any doubts. Like you are the authority figure in the field of day trading now? You haven't met a day trader who can make money...

I can certainly understand that you don't make the cut as a daytrader and why. crgarcia: I suggest that perhaps you print the above 2 statements in super big letters, and paste them on a protest sign, and go to a nearby Goldman Sachs office and walk back and forth outside with it. There...

I would not tell you I started in year XXXX. You can guess or look up in Google. This makes it more fun. When I first started... - Stock prices were quoted in fractions. And went in 1/4 increments mostly. - Jerry Yang and David Filo were studying at Standford. - Tokyo Joe was...

No.Heat you said someone has taken the communication to lower levels... how about your own statement: The moment you add indicators to highlight price action is the moment you add crude oil to Whiskey, you basically, fu** it up. Is that a communication at a level that meets your high...

No. What you thought is the average "daily" range. Not the true range. The ATR formula is a little more complicated because it takes the previous bar's values into consideration: Excerpt: The true range is the greatest of the following: The difference between the current high and the...

It doesn't usually work like that. What it does usually work like, is this: You used 2k to open your account. Your made your first trade. Wow! Got $400 in a few days. Your eyes opened. Then you rolled again. A few trades or few weeks/months later, your 2k became 4k, or 5k. That's...

Remember some said "compounding makes me mad".

And out of those 85% who don't know any better, 20% of them will look join ET to ask questions. LOL jk

No I disagree with this. I believe percentage does matter for traders. Because trading performance is a measure of a trader's efficiency in utilizing his resources (mainly capital), whether the money is managed money or one's own money. If you have only access to $10k and you can make...

Sorry I got mixed up. The 2 USB-VGA gadgets that I bought are: 1. Diamond BVU160 USB Display Adapter 2. IOGear GUC2020DW6 USB to DVI External Video Card

Loner loser posters will remain loser posters forever, since they can't get the connections with the real world. I am sorry that you couldn't get over your trading losses.

Let me summarize what some of the posters were saying. At least that's the impression I got from their posts. I am not agreeing with them, but found their point of view interesting. - Trading performance is not measured by percentage gains but should be measured by absolute dollar gain...

Looks like this one will work. [b] This is only a splitter. Something like what you already have. Two monitors displaying the same image from the same VGA port. [b] This is only a cable. The street price for those USB-VGA gadgets should be about USD$60 to $80. I bought...

There usually is only one external VGA outlet on your laptop (if it has one). Whatever gadget you hook up to this VGA port there will be only 1 set of display image no matter how many splitters you have. If you want 3 different screen displays generated by your laptop, most likely your...
