I guess it's a little *too* good. Looks like we killed it. :cool:

Damn, why're you trying to call a top? I bought 2 breakouts today and rode 'em all the way up to 1.3000.

I've been looking at intraday PnF charts myself, on YM and ES using QuoteTracker. One thing that jumps right out at you is the suggestion of sensible stop placement. PnF charts are really cool. You could either set a stop at 43.25 which is the top of the double bottom pattern, or 42.00...

Ooh, what's in the beta elitetrader that's different from the regular one?

You mean Warren's babes?

I trail by hand, watching price action and support/resistance levels. Also, I might sell 1/2 and move the stop to BE, depending on the overall market action.

I've been trading with Oanda for a few years now and singing their praises until the last few months. Things have become pretty unreliable lately. Now I'm looking seriously at GFT and IBFX.

Battlefield 1942 didn't like my new widescreen! Everything looked streeeeeeeetched out.

Yeah, now all I have to do is start making money consistently LOL.

You must mean *day* trading options. I trade options but could do it with dial-up because of my timeframe.

It has the tightest bid/ask spread and it's the one I watch constantly. I won't say I'm "familiar" with this pair per se, but I'm most familiar with it among the other pairs. I've found I can do best by focusing on one vehicle instead of jumping around.

EUR/USD exclusively.

Yep, I'll second that. Always enter as a spread, always try to get a fill at the mid at first. If you're not getting filled after a few hours, adjust the order a little at a time until you're either filled or you give up. Sometimes the MMs just won't give it up and you have to let it pass.

Nothing. I'm trading forex micro-lots myself. :cool: Micro-trading *is* probably better than paper trading since you're at least getting a tasty cookie for your winners and some pain for losers Plus you don't have the option to reset your account. Sooner or later, you've gotta decide you...

Either path can lead you to being a "driving range Arnold Palmer". Micro-lots are real money, but it's still nickle slots/penny ante.

Huh. I just finished watching this really, really violent (and good) movie last night. I found out on imdb.com that Josh Brolin is supposedly a day trader. They said he even started the web site marketprobability.com. I just thought it was kind of weird running into a tid-bit like this at...

With such a small account, you might consider switching brokers. That $14.95 ticket at OX is a killer. If you're serious about options, look at TOS or IB.

Hmmm. "Scaling in" is definitely something I don't do, at least based on the normal definition. I see it as adding to a losing position. Now, I do like reverse scaling in. i.e. adding to *winning* positions.

Here ya go, a whole thread devoted to this: "Scaling out" is inferior behavior
