    Help! My searches are being highjacked.

    I don't know. Just know it reported a few infections that were then deleted. As reported here by others, Adware and Spyware blaster let it get through and could not delete it.

    Help! My searches are being highjacked.

    I'd appreciate some help from a knowledgable gearhead. When I use Google or Yahoo for a search, results appear that seem legit when presented. However when I click on them I am directed to crap sites. Something is hijacking my browser. I am running antivirus, etc., and have erased...

    Those July Lows

    Ah...remember thinking about those S&P lows in July and wondering if we'd ever break them? Duh.

    The Learning Curve

    If you're with a prop firm I assume you're trading equities. I can't imagine trying to trade stocks in this environment. I assumed one of the advantages of working at a prop shop was having others around you. What are their experiences? Are there no managers in your shop that can give...

    One Man's Journey: A Path to Homelessness

    Not to detract from your problems, but....you're young. There's a zillion things you can do. How'd you like to be facing this economy when you're 55 or 60...like many thousands of people. Your home has lost 20%, your 401K is down 30%, and you just got a pink slip. Your retirement that...

    Need a program for a breakout trading method

    FYI, you'll blow out quickly trying to buy highs or sell lows intraday without a stop in place. If your 'system' doesn't backtest profitably with stops, then you don't have a system that will permit you to survive huge drawdowns.

    Questioning backtest results

    You always need to check your backtests against the charts to be certain that your backtested entries and exists are valid, and would have indeed filled at those prices. And as you have found, if any backtested results seem unusually strong, they are suspect and need to be checked very...

    Reassuring my Wife

    Based on this information, your wife has a right to be concerned. She is probably concerned not only with monetary loss, but opportunity loss. Are there better things you should be doing to keep the family secure. That's always a wife's primary concern, and it shouldn't be ignored. And...

    Pandamonium outside my window

    Blacks helped build this country. Their ancestry here is much deeper here than most of us who are 2nd or 3rd generation. They deserve to celebrate. And I hope that black men can now get their act together and act responsibly in rebuilding their culture.

    Trying to let winners run for 4 YEARS, so depressed

    I think anyone reading this thread would be inclined to agree with your assessment. But, knowing that you are in fact a fool gives you a head start on most of humanity. And now you've got nowhere to go but up. Unless you are the type that just keeps talking, and doesn't ever listen.

    Daytrade Futures C2 system

    Look at the extreme drawdown on some of the trades (which indicates no stops), add the fact that the system is new, then factor in that he hasn't taken any losses, and you have all you need to know.

    TF - Russell volume

    I'm really happy for you that you're willing to trade "much smaller size" to put up with the ICE/NYBOT TF contract. Personally, needing to scale down to safely trade the POS isn't my idea of progress when ICE took on the contract.

    TF - Russell volume

    TF spiked this morning almost 2 points, and filled my stop over 1 point beyond where I had it set. Cost me some serious dollars. Still untradable. What a shame, as ER used to be my main trading instrument.

    I was just thinking about how Real Estate Broker Scum are getting a pass

    Your post is so typical of many posts here on E.T. Folks making statements when they haven't the slightest idea what they're talking about. Most people - obviously including you - are completetly unaware of the cost structure of the industry, and of working as a Realtor. You don't...

    I was just thinking about how Real Estate Broker Scum are getting a pass

    I know the industry. It won't work. There have been all kinds of plans/business models to give rebates, etc. etc. to buyers and sellers. They don't work, and the reason is because people want things that are simple, clear and traditional. There is a lot of fear for the typical buyer...

    I was just thinking about how Real Estate Broker Scum are getting a pass

    Oh, blah, blah, blah. Can't tell you how many internet solutions to buying and selling are already out there, and failing. Your "friend" is missing the entire point about buying or selling a home. It is a very hands-on, human transaction filled with emotions, and most people simply can't...

    I was just thinking about how Real Estate Broker Scum are getting a pass

    Sounds to me like you've been dealing with Realtors who are doing their jobs, and who've learned from experience that most mortgage brokers sit on their ass and don't get things moving. Ask any Realtor what their biggest roadblock is in getting to a successful closing, and they'll tell you...
