    Biggest Trading Challenge?

    I can't remember if it was my biggest challenge or not, but I had a heck of a time stopping to try and find a way to trade every single price movement under the sun. Wasted a lot of time, but on the other hand learned what not to trade.

    Is it really possible to feel the markets?

    Yes, it is the 21st century. But I would still rather have a barber cut my hair than a robot. Having been brought up posting charts manually, I feel you have a somewhat superficial view, and lean more to glancing, when seeing charts on screens. Possibly through manually posting you develop the...

    How did you learn how to trade?

    I'm in my 4th decade of researching and learning. Glad to hear I'm not alone. Those who learn all they need to know about trading in 3 days and 2 nights don't know what they're missing, do they? Of course they'll just say we're slow learners! Checked your profile. You ain't old. Getting old is...

    Schaefer's Journal of Nikkei 225 Mini.

    I don't have TWS in front of me as I switched to the local brokers which offer much better conditions. However, it sounds like a problem in the settings for BookTrader. Have you checked that? Yet the preopening indication time hasn't changed .If it were an oversight by IB, it would have...

    Is it really possible to feel the markets?

    What you say is true. But the 'feeling' that I referred to was not the emotional type, but that which one may develop through the manual posting of charts. Please see my previous posting below. [Having started before the days of computers, I manually updated about 300 charts daily. I believe...

    Is it really possible to feel the markets?

    Please re-read what I feel about 'prediction', below. While analysis comes first, you could say that a 'feel' for the price movement would be of value when your setup is somewhat less than picture perfect, or in determining a better entry/exit point. Additionally, in a more precise analysis of...

    Is it really possible to feel the markets?

    Predicting the price of the next bar, today's close, tomorrow's open, the Dow on your dog's next birthday etc, must be one of the greatest pitfalls in investment and trading. Prediction is equivalent in worth to the Dartinpaper method of stock picking! But as the OP questioned, feeling the...

I too made that mistake before realizing GB (and under many other aliases) is just looking for someone to provide the answer to quick easy money without any effort on GB's part. Years ago I said that would lead to nothing, and it obviously has!! And while...
