If someone actually had been trading that long, all to blow it, then the fact is... that they still shouldn't have been in the game in the first place, because they should have been able to switch to other markets, or had the ability to adapt to new things, that is why having a simple but...

Above stuff continued....... ====================== Also, you need to realize when you are just in a drawdown period, or if your system/strategy/advantage has gone away. You need to be able to change and adapt when that does happen...... because if you don't, your just like someone selling...

Yup, some people go so far as to say that having a back-up plan is a true way to cause your own failure... I say they are idiots. There is nothing wrong for planning for anything. Never let anyone tell you different. The whole "If you think you will fail, you are already done thing" is...

Woohoo, lets go dancing in the streets... Oh wait, my SIMPLE bug when i detatch a screen from the main program still remains. Hmmm, I guess 5 to 10 minutes to change a single line of code is too much effort for eSignal, how depressing. People, seriously, switch to better alternatives...

SEE... that is why I say commissions given on a personal basis can be a good thing... now you actually got someone that can hook you up :cool: It all works out in the end. I wish I had 3.80 RT when I was scalping... haha, I was stupid back then trading futures. I'll give futures another...

I have a pellet gun under mine... do you think that will work in my case (I got a big head :mad: )

"Whenever I call a broker and ask them what their commission fee's are, they just say to me, "what do you want to pay"? I don't think that is a good answer. They should not charge different commission prices for different customers. I'm looking for commission fee's" Although I must disagree...

Alaron Trading Corp is a great broker for your kind of trading. They send out checks in 3 - 4 days, and had been with them for a year, and just closed out my account 4 days ago to take out all my money because I'm pretty sure it's going to be awhile until I go back to futures, but they were a...

Did you read the second post in this thread, I have been arguing it the whole thread :p That is exactly what I have been arguing.... fact is....... Trading without a backup plan is stupid, you have to plan for what could happen. You are exactly right, you have to plan for failure...

We are slowly coming to the halfway mark of the year. I started another poll about how traders rate themselves. Now I wanted to start one more poll asking traders if they are profitable this year. Are you profitable?

Yeah, I asked a lot of questions, he hasn't bothered answering any.... If you don't mind.. Can you look above at some of my previous questions and answer a few, I'd like to find out why you have failed, and you can help out a lot of people. 2nd page

What would you HONESTLY rate yourself as a trader. This does not necessarily mean by measure of profits either. Do you really put in all the effort you could/should/would? Do you feel that you could always do something better? Do you think you have it made? 10 being the greatest and...

You get the idea... EDIT: Great movie btw :p

This is another one of those excellent posts that I get to print out. I have a poster on my wall to the right of me that says "PLAY THE GAME FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME, OR THE GAME WILL PLAY YOU." It's purpose is mainly that of someone that plays sports, but in essence, it can mean the same...

You got a good point batman, and he even said he feels bad that his friends have graduated and moved on. Either it's that he feels he hasn't lived up to his friends expectations, or infact he is lonely. Heck, my three best friends moved away, so I'm lonely anyways. I have to go out to VA...

Even though you feel as if you should give up. In trading........ you never have to really give up. You can go get a job, and get back in the game. If you really do love this game, there is always something different you can try. I know you said you had done this in 5 years. So i'm just...

What type of trading did you do? Scalping, swing trading, position trading? What market did you trade (equities, futures, forex)? How did you trade (automated, system, discretionary)? Did your systems fail and you couldn't adapt, or what? I'm just curious as to why you failed, you...

Yes thanks Rip.

They have CQG Trader at Alaron Trading Corp. I like the firm, might want to check them out. They send checks the next day and you get them in 3 - 4 days.

I don't know about Refco, but I used to trade Futures through CQGTrader. I liked it.
