    So, is it a bull or a bear?

    Oh, so wrong. Buy homebuilders, REITs, anything related to residential real estate. In 3 years you'll thank yourself. And you'll thank me, too.:p

    Shortseller Doug Kass Going Long on Banks

    It depends on your time horizon. Banks are excellent long term holds right now. Buy the fear, sell the greed.

    Single or Multiple Timeframe Strategies?

    I use a higher timeframe to help judge the strength of a signal, which for me translates into position size, and profit expectations for the trade. This is by no means scientific, but it's a guide that I've found helpful as part of my intuition when going into a trade.

    More pain at the hands of the house 'pimps'

    Agents are paid by the sellers, not the buyers. The buyers of these homes paid no commissions to agents. If they are going to get any refunds at all (and they shouldn't), it should be from the mortgage broker who put the deal together and took a hefty fee. The very idea that home buyers...

    100K trading account?

    Never ceases to amaze me that guys like you think that trading is such a walk in the park. Go out tomorrow and buy yourself a new 911. A much better investment than your "strategy", and you'll have a lot more fun.

    Suggestion for Baron - A Pay site?

    The business model of this site is to sell eyeballs to advertisers. Nothing wrong with that. It works. And anything that interrupts that, such as any kind of a registration process at all, is not good for Baron. However, I do think that some type of rating system is an excellent idea...

    Best Choice Software www.bestchoice.com

    But that information is available for FREE on many internet sites, and is the entire purpose of traditional backtesting software, of which there are many flavors available, at a tiny fraction of your cost. What gets me boiling hot is sites and presentations like yours that present...

    Should I start day trading?

    I still swing trade stocks. But like you, I wanted more intraday action, as my swing trade setups were not everyday. My first instinct, like yours, was to move a few stocks to an intraday picture. I didn't like it. I found that even more than on daily charts, the equities were being...

    Should I start day trading?

    Those are decent numbers. Stick with your program. But if you are also looking for some intraday action, daytrading equities is a very tough business. I'd suggest that you look at Index Futures. Especially ER, the Russell 2000. You'll find it a lot easier focusing on one instrument...

    How different is trading index etf (SPY) against SP ES-Mini ?

    Look into ER. IMO, much easier to trade than ES, with more opportunities. Good luck.

    Best Choice Software www.bestchoice.com

    In my 5 years on this site, it has never failed once. Ask a software vendor or the promoter of a signal service to produce a record of results... ...and they vanish like a flash. :eek:

    Pitch this crap to your retirees in Florida. It doesn't belong here. If you aren't prepared to post gains AND losses of trades generated by your software, then take a hike. Put up or shut up.

    What would you do?

    As the OP - who incorrectly named himself "gratitude" - has only one post and has not replied to the many helpful comments here, I suggest that we kill this thread.

    Backtesting Vs Trading Index Futures

    Download Investor/RTs demo. There isn't any actual "coding" involved, in the way that you'd think about coding. It's an excellent backtesting/charting/trading package. They have a monthly lease program. You'll need to also pay for data, although they have an IB connection for free IB data...

    Writing a training program, your input pls

    LOL. I'd love to know how you define a "high calibre potential trader"! Is that someone who is (A) Breathing, and (B) Has money to burn on commissions?

    What would you do?

    As a mature and experienced trader, I will have to second those who have given you the advice that it would be a damn stupid thing to give up your current income (with 3 kids!) on the very off chance that you will succeed in trading. However...if you have the itch so bad that you're about to...
