I had never heard that term before. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=omega%20male I especially like the part about the rams. :cool:

I am still occasionally lured into changing the time frame on a chart to make it look good so I can satisfy my manual trading addiction once in a while. It's about a break even endeavor. This is why I'm automated.

Aren't the outliers what these firm depend on? Bring in fifty new traders with ridiculous risk management parameters, and one makes it and the firm gets a huge percentage of his profits for a few years? I'm sure there are a select few who are happy there, and I don't want to bad mouth a...

Black.

Good night, dude. I just don't want any young guys get sucked into shit they can't get out of. I have not "been there, done that", thank God. But I feel many will. It scares me for some reason.

Good. I thought I went too far with that. But like I said, it is the truth.

Sorry to be harsh, but the same thing was pretty much told to me at one point.

Dude, I have had enough of your fucking whining. I live in rural western Wisconsin where latency is high and knowledge is low, and i still somehow made a way to win this silly stupid game we play. Some how I found echotrade or it found me. I don't really remember how and I don't care. I am a...

No one is screaming at you. I commend you for doing what you have done. It is not impossible. Anyone can enter. Few succeed. Everyone has their niche. You just need to find it. Night.

Here's your dream contract: I opened an account with echotrade years ago with 10K. They sponsored me for my series 7. Started trading, and after a very very very long while, decided I sucked at manual trading and became automated based on the advice of a colleague. I've been hooked. All...

This is what I will oppose with a passion. This is possibly the easiest business to get into, while possibly being the hardest at which to succeed. Don't ever say that again.

I tend to trade the equities which are moving unusually on any given day, and I would never trade futures, but that is an excellent point. Did not know that. But why would he do that? He's starting out with 5 shares per trade. He can't afford a futures account.

I'm not one to crush anyone's dreams, but it seems like they are feeding on kids who are desperate to become traders. I have to tell you, the way I trade, I don't think I would meet the goals. I bet Szeven could come in and kill it, and be trading 50 shares in no time. Lol. But I have to be...

Mav, is this contract as crazy as it sounds? Thankfully, I haven't had to deal with many over the years.

Gee, thanks so much. Didn't think of that. I called him right after it happened, and he said "Dude, don't worry about it. It's a tv. Start shopping and let me know what you come up with." Btw, he was in the left seat in the cockpit of a Southwest 737 and about to pull back from the...

A few friends of mine and I tried this on earnings stocks a few years ago. Fully automated. But even when our programmer got co-located, the slippage was insane. But maybe if you are willing to have a small percentage of your trades be huge winners, and hang on to them longer than the...

Been there, done that. Of course, I was 19 at the time, but that's ancient history. Ever wish you had a time machine?

Good point. I loved that TV. (before I destroyed it with an elbow) But I was thinking smart TV for the convenience of netflix, etc. Maybe it's not worth it to go smart right now.

If it was a couple of months from now, it would be ok. But don't the people who created these holidays understand there are traders in Wisconsin with nothing to do tomorrow? Seriously. You can only fill so many bird feeders and clean the driveway with the tractor so many times. But We're...

After reading your post, and the first half of the article, I am assuming the reason for the price difference is for people who want the newest and the best, regardless of the cost. I have a buddy like that. Constantly buying the newest and brightest, just so he can say he has the newest and...
