    With rules there is nothing to do.

    tallen03, there are some golden nuggets of wisdom in some of these responses. But so far, I have to agree with Handle123. Nothing beats experience. But if you're new, I don't think there is anything wrong with being purely systematic. Gotta have some sort of a foundation to learn from and...

    I hate holidays when the market is closed

    There was a time when the market was open on Saturdays. There are times when I wish that was still the case.

    Luck vs Trading

    Sounds like a difference of opinion as to the definition of "luck". I don't think anything you just described has anything to do with luck. Granted, you need to continuously put yourself in a position to be lucky, but watching a movie and missing a trade has nothing to do with being...

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=sDTGWEXFwcI It seems like she would do well at anything in life. Edit... I know the music sucks, but after seeing her on the NFL network this morning, this is the best vid I could find based on number of views. Sorry.

    successful traders: did you have a mentor?

    I agree. I won't share what I've learned, because that would be nothing less than a slap in the face to those who have helped me. And these guys would never EVER sell their advice. They're too good for that.

    successful traders: did you have a mentor?

    I've actually had some pretty amazing advice from some guys on this board though private messaging. You may be surprised at how helpful the rock stars of the past will be. They're still around. But my programmer is also amazing. I'll come up with an idea, and he''ll take it ten steps...

    Does your broker help you be profitable ?

    Dude, you're pretty hard on yourself. "Making it" at a prop firm, IE Echo, Bright, etc, means having some capital and overcoming desk fees and commissions. Granted, many don't get there, mainly because of shitty outdated strategies, but if you're a little innovative, you can "make it" But...

    Does your broker help you be profitable ?

    You crack me up.. I've always figured I'd go with IB if I wasn't with a prop firm. But I have to say yes. As Maverick 74 has said, commissions and slippage can destroy a new trader's hopes and dreams.

    What would you do in this situation?

    I think i would win the competition, but then come clean in the end by saying i found an inefficiency in the system, and exploited the hell out of it. Some will initially call you a cheater, but some will see your motivation. There is definitely a learning experience to be had here for...

    Which Tick Charts do you prefer for Day-Trading?

    Yes. And that's why the desire to know where a bar opened or closed is also silly.
