I'm all for "feeling like a computer," yet I know NOTHING about electronica or trance. How about some suggestions?!? :)

"sys"? No, you're not the anti-Christ. Far from it. The anti-Christ is evil. You're just an imbecile.

Yeah, and your next PM to me: What a class act. Baron, this pussy obviously has no respect for ET or your authority.

A bigger question is why this 777 person has been banned yet you are allowed to essentially spam and flame every thread? In the course of a few minutes I have received 2 PMs from you saying the following: All merely because I asked why you couldn't post your gifs and large font posts in...

sorry, I don't do miniatures.

No it isn't. Why can't you post your large fonts and little gifs in the Chit Chat forum? There's already a thread there for music, which I see you've posted on tons of times.

I've only been on ET for a short time, but it's become very apparent that certain posters (you know who you are) enjoy posting comments on threads just to irritate others. The intention of this thread was to find out how traders feel about listening to music during market hours, NOT to start...

Is this a bad idea? Some posters on other threads have said they listen to music as it helps keep them in a groove and is part of their daily routine; others consider it a distraction and possibly damaging as it may result in missing an important news event on CNBC, Bloomberg, etc. If...

Just wondering if listening to music while trading is a no-no in your book or a must.... If a must, what are you listening to?

I was having a decent day then, inexplicably, I let a long position go against me further because futures looked good, the birds were chirping, I was feeling good about my previous trades, blah, blah, blah. Bottom line is instead of a 10-cent stop I ended up taking a 20. Pathetic.

I was informed today at the computer store while that a PCI card such as the Appian Rushmore would run erratically on a P4 system. The rep stated that the Rushmore worked fine on Pentium III systems but not P4's - they called Intel about it early this year and were told that the P4 systems...

Good post. I came in today confident and totally prepared to act decisively on any set-ups that met my criteria, and then my prop firm (Echo) has quote problems for an extended period of time during the morning session. Ugh. Aw well, there's always tomorrow.

I recently got a 17-inch Samsung LCD, model 172N, that was manufactured in China. It has one dead pixel in the upper-left corner. Tolerable, but I'm going to try and make sure if I get another Samsung it's made in Korea.

momo, this is the BEST post I've ever read on ET. Your early indecision is exactly where I feel I am now. Thank you! I got away this past weekend and was able to think things over and clear my head. Upon returning home and reading your post it has compounded the decision I've made to TAKE...

Good food for thought. I'm going away for the weekend - will take the opportunity to clear my head and think things over. Thanks for all the input. p.s. Momo, when did it all turn around for you? What was the catalyst?

Perhaps my problem is that I HATE to lose, so taking a loss, however small, is hard for me to deal with. I know that without a doubt I have to get over this. Heck, reviewing my after-hours charts I realized that had I taken all the trades my set-ups gave me, I would have taken about 3 losses...

Shorted SNDK at 9:44 when it broke down through the previous close. Mental stop was a bit higher than the high of the previous 3-minute bar. Just like yesterday, when I was in the money I panicked when the price started to come back up and my P/L was shrinking. Covered for a measly .18...

If doing this is it better to do a clean install rather than upgrade? All I have on my computer is trading software and the usual Microsoft Office applications. What about driver issues? How about DSL connections? Are they affected in the transition? Also, XP Home or Pro? I'm not...

It certainly does help. Thank you, Natalie. :)

I'm guilty of breaking my trading rules today as well. I shorted SNDK at 48.96 at 1:06 PM as it had again broken down through the previous close. My mental stop was at 49.10 and my target was 48.60-48.50. It wiggled and wiggled, and came close to hitting my stop but didn't. Then, for...
