Oh no, I've tried 'em all. Futures, Forex, Equities. The only thing I have tried live is options. I started with Equities, I didn't have enough money to do day-trading. I put 2k in an account, and then left my eTrade account *for reasons I wish not to discuss* with 1k. Then I went and...

Completely agreed until you learn a platform. Simulated trading does not teach you psychological barriers of trading. I was confident on demo, then I switched to live in Futures, and got creamed. My confidence was so high that I started with 2 contracts instead of one. Once you...

Demo trade on metatrader. StrategyBuilderFX has unlimited demo as long as you keep using it. I'm using that right now. Have not really gotten that far with Forex, but determined to learn it. I really want to learn as many markets as I can. But just come up on a few ideas how I could...

Yeah, I still wonder why no futures traders ever post there. Maybe one, once in awhile will stick around for a month or so, but sooner or later, it stops. Same for currency traders. You'd think since they are apparently the new "hot" things to trade, more people would post. Just...

Whatever it takes :cool: I had been wanting to be a trader since I was 14 - 15. Finally got my chance when I hit 18. Going to be doing this forever.

Ok here are mine: 1. Started learning how to "really" trade with Futures, the YM (mini-dow) first off. Very painful experience psychologically and made my wallet a bit more thin. 2. Read stupid books on indicators and all that. I believed that in order to win in this game you had to use...

You are seriously pissing me off man....

lol... never ask people that are paid to "think and act intelligently" real questions about this stuff. You'd probably be better off asking here on the forums first.

I don't like eSignal's set-up for price based alerts. I had been looking on Tradestation's website, seems like amazing tools. Might want to check them out first. Plus... i hate eSignal, don't let that company screw you out of your money.

I like equities better. Sometimes it gets to me that sometimes I don't get filled or Laser will let me know that I can't short a stock or something like that. But, I don't feel stressed out when I trade. Trading with futures, I was at a 4.90 r/t, and I sometimes risked 50 - 60 dollars a...

I still can't find any information on who developed and maintains blackwood... Do you know what company develops it? Or is Benchmarq developing and maintaining it? Bighitter said this to me VIA PM a few days ago: "by the way blackwood software is an old piece of software from 2000 and...

Yeah, like I said, I'm going to have to try it again. Have you ever tried Sterling Trader Pro FaderTrader? I really liked it when I was using it. I also liked Anvil, they told you on the trader report all the stuff about if action happening on the Level 2 was good or bad, which is good...

I couldn't find out how to use hotkeys to directly enter an order. I believe from trying it you had to press the key to set-up the order, and then click the button to execute. A second or two difference can make or break a trade for me especially if removing liquidity. I still have all...

Here is some advice... read this thread: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=68647 You don't really have to pay attention to what I say, but pay attention to what the original poster had said. May save you a lot of pain if you properly interpret it correctly and take the...

I remember watching that on TechTV. Too bad the guy that owned it and turned it into G4TV. WTF were they thinking? TechTV was a great channel, Leo Laporte was amazing, i still listen to him online with Patrick Norton and all them. I miss The Screensavers. Now they have video game...

BTW, what is your favorite book MarketSurfer... I see you got a lot of them.... Got any favorites?

I'm getting close to 1000, just you wait ;) Good luck with the monitors. You only trade forex right Kastro?

Well if it's anytime within 3 - 4 months, don't necessarily take that as a good thing. Hopefully you understand what I meant by that. Ciao, I'm off to go do watch some tv.

I pretty much give up here, I've told all that I can. If you don't listen, it's because the gambling mentality you have, will not be overcome from you. You may make it big on wall st. only to lose it all. Regardless, good luck. I personally don't believe in luck, but maybe you do. I'm...

Oh giving up already. Damn, I was just having fun. Owell, good luck with your trading. I always love stirring things up here on ET.
