    No f*cking way...you would have pry my dead hands away from my 3 powerful indicators. I've got a trend indicator, a momentum indicator, and a price volume indicator which is my crown jewel. All of these are custom coded...by me. They're not the typical crap....RSI, MACD....those are all...

    Poker player moving to trade/advise please

    I don't agree with those who say there's no comparison to poker. It's simple.....from Kenny Roger's song: "You got know when to hold em, know when to fold em". When you are in a trade, you gotta be riveted to the price action.....and if you are wrong, just get the F*ck out... and if you are...

    ES/NQ Trading - looking for solutions

    Started about 3 months ago and what a learning experience. Solving the hardware, software, data feed, broker problems were EASY. First 2 months were a disaster with a 25-30% win rate. Obviously my entries sucked. Every time I entered I trade, I was immediately down.....soon to be stopped out. I...

    movie about HFT traders

    ES/NQ. 20,000 contracts per month....figure 1000 R/T's per day. Ah, so renting a membership in the CME may be a good move. I could then go with IB's tier pricing which is favorable when trading over 500 contracts per day....

    movie about HFT traders

    NO COMMISSIONS OR EXCHANGE FEES ? My gosh, that's not fair. WTF. I'm on IB's fixed rate right now at $2.09 per contract (Commish+Exchange)....and it's killing me.

    movie about HFT traders

    What kind of exchange fees and commissions do HFT's pay per R/T ? I guess they all have seats on the CME, right ?

    TopStep Trading - summary please....

    Thanks guys...that's the feedback I was looking for. I thought for a second, "hey, this is a legit prop firm". Now I don't think that really exists. I'm looking for $30k so I can add to my current IB account and trade 10 lots in ES. I guess it's best to go with some cloud funding website....LOL.

    The book "Trade Mindfully" by Gary Dayton...Psy.D

    Thanks guys.....this tome emphasizes defusion and a concept known as "feeding the tiger". I've learned a lot from it, but unable to absorb such a large body of psych knowledge and terms.

    The book "Trade Mindfully" by Gary Dayton...Psy.D

    Has anyone read this book ? I've found it useful, but it's such a tough read and long read, I find myself spending more time with the book than my trading workstation....LOL. It is simply huge and monolithic and requires constant reading and re-reading.
