As another post or two said, if you are a successful trading and making good money, just come up with a great sounding line - financial analyst, private wealth manager, etc etc You can create your own title and get your own biz cards printed to show them! And when they ask you to trade...

Interesting read. In their 70's and now want in the stock market. WOW. Guessing those cd's and fixed annuities aren't holding up too well against inflation after all! Should more and more 'dumb' money flow in, the indexes could head higher. Since 'dumb' money usually only goes long, could get...

http://www.247wallst.com/2007/02/the_next_versio.html Word has been circulating for several days that Microsoft (MSFT) is already well along in work on the OS that will come after Vista. Steve Ballmer has promised that future Windows versions will not take the five years to develop that...

The same can be said of Office, but what I have seen so far of Office 2007, I am looking forward to using that product. So while the eye candy stuff is negotiable, I think a product like Office, when improved, is well worth the upgrade. I guess it also depends on how much you use it. If you...

KS - I think people put too much into backtesting and then are shocked that it doesn't work in real time. Fully automating a trading methodology is not easy to say the least.

I read an interview with Ballmer at MSFT and he said they waited to long to get Vista out and focused too much on fixing XP. The 'plan' at this point is to crank out new OS about every 2-3 years. So, if they go ahead with this plan, it should make it interesting when it comes time to upgrade...

blast - sounds like you have a plan in place, but just don't want to admit it! :D Just kiddin - if it works for you to be 'lazy' or just more laid back, more power to you. I'm sure all of us could use that sometimes!

So I assume that the 'FACT' actually has no research or merit to back it up? We'll just assume that yet another vendor is quoting 'FACT' that actually has no factual evidence?

Hmmm...so, a Series 3 or Series 7? MAYBE - DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU TRADE. POA is Power Of Attorney, correct? YES And lastly, how does one go about setting up a fund? Is there any sort of insurance involved? THERE'S COMPANIES OUT THERE THAT WILL ASSIST WITH THIS, DO A GOOGLE SEARCH AND SEE...

Depends what you are trading and how you want to set things up. Example - if trading futures, you will probably need a 3. If trading stocks, probably a 7. You can set up a fund or have POA's on accounts. Depending on how many POA's you manage, you may not even need a 3 or 7 or others. You...

And joe, do you think that if someone 'in the know' would openly share this here on an internet message board? You really think they would do that? The point you are missing is that there is no such thing as manipulation. Simply, you are saying that the NQ was moving and either 1) you were...

Where has this FACT been proven before? Of course vendors, such as yourself, love that stat but where has the CME or CBOT published a report detailing that 90% of traders fail? And does this stat include the tiny $2500 accounts that get blown out in no time or does this stat/study factor into...

joe - if you are trying to look for manipulation in the NQ at 4:46am, I'm sure you will see some interesting stuff going on there. With little volume and trading going on, anything is possible.

If someone is buying and there are no offers, price will rise to find offers. That's called supply and demand, not manipulation.

100 pts in the ES in a quick move??? Ummm.... it's time to actually learn about the market you want to trade before saying something so silly. Spend some time at www.cme.com and www.cbot.com

Partly due to daytraders that need to exit positions before 4:15pm EST. If you are a day trader and need out, the clock is ticking.

sax - I hope you read these posts before putting real $ on the line. But if you do, make sure to start a journal so we can see how it goes with real cash on the line!

Never thought of something like that for day-trading. Seems like you'd have to be very timely in all your planning since you can't do it all from your futures dom. Having traded options in the past, I think this may be difficult to do successfully in a day trading environment. A swing trading...

Another idea - maybe tick charts aren't the answer? How about volume charts? Maybe a higher or lower volume chart setting could help weed out some chop. Just brainstorming here...

defermark - nice tracking and thanks for sharing. Is there a way to break the trades up by 'session' - AM, lunch, and PM? Perhaps there's something there since the mornings can provide some great volatility and action and the lunch and pm's can be hit and miss. Maybe it's just sitting out during...
