    It's a bad habit of his. You must be new here. Thanks for the inspiration Red. I need it right about now.

    Trader P/L 2009

    One stupid, amateur mistake yesterday in GS cost me all of my profits thus far in the new strat. Didn't follow the strat to a T, and let that lunch time rally yesterday carry me away. -148 in that one. +45 in it today. +13 since the start. No trades in other strats today. Strange.

    Trader P/L 2009

    When I predicted Friday would be interesting, I didn't know it would be due to sitting in a dentist chair in the morning with an abscessed tooth, and feeding myself Tylanol 3 in the afternoon. No trades. Mixed results on the new strat today. Flat today. +323 overall.

    Only traded in the afternoon the last 2 days. Mon & Tues were both up a smidge but not worth posting. Doing 100 share lots in a brand spankin new strat I started using Tues afternoon. Up 75 bucks in it so far. Running 3 strats now. 2 MR, 1 TF. I expect a full day tomorrow. This could...

    The Future of Day Trading

    I rolled my eyes when I first saw this, but after reading it, I have to say it's refreshing to see someone in the business express caution, rather than the usual "come trade with me, you can't lose" bullshit. Congratulations on the child by the way.

    Yes. At that commission rate you would be net positive on your fees if you always provided liquidity. Not a bad deal. But regardless of your base comm rate, it's an ECN rebate which is normally credited to your account at the end of the month.

    ARCA pays it for providing liquidity. http://www.nyse.com/equities/nysearcaequities/1157018931977.html?sa_campaign=/internal_ads/callouts/nysearcaequitiesfees No. I don't trade retail. But I'm pretty sure IB gives rebates, but someone like Ameritrade, or Etrade? Forget it.

    The Sexiest Customizable Algo!

    I don't know if you're asking me or him, but I get a small credit every month because I provide more than I take. I'm not trading the way I do just for the credit like people used to. Just the my strat works. And that credit is nothing to write home about.

    The Sexiest Customizable Algo!

    Even though it's not a new idea, I can see it still being valid if you start with a position with a direction in mind. But since I suck at directional trading... Pertaining to the second video, it seems like a directional move would kill you since, in an up move, you are getting less long...

    what indicators do you use?

    I was going to imply something like this, but: 10,000 hours in front of the screen, price/volume analysis, and some automation may get you there. It's that simple. :cool:

    Trading is a fools game - you can't win

    Seriously, how many aliases have you had on this board? But I do believe much of what you say in your post. Although, your grammar leaves something to be desired.
