He could try to pretend it's the real thing, but he'd know it's not real, therefore, the psychology wouldn't be same as trading with real money. I think he'd learn far more trading micro futures with a very low stakes account. If he never learns risk management and continues to blow out, (which...

Exactly. It's also what almost no one expects, which makes it the far more likely scenario.

No, LeeLoo does not subsidize. From their website: You will not be trading a Live account. After successfully trading an Evaluation Account, you qualify to trade a Leeloo ‘Performance Account.’ Our Performance accounts consist of you trading a Simulated account, and the opportunity for Leeloo...

I tried E2T and LeeLoo Trading and I'd recommend the latter over E2T. LeeLoo's $74 ten day challenge is inexpensive and there's no additional "subscription" BS. If you bust out, you can reset for another $74. Of course, read all the rules. Like E2T, there are a ton on 'em. One major...

It's like chess. A short time to learn, much longer to master.

Also don't consider if you're a "climate change" dupe.

Definition of a gold mine: A hole in the ground with a liar standing next to it. - Mark Twain Good luck.

Original info about the tapping technique the kid was referring to can be found at www.emofree.com. There's a link to an updated site there. I've never heard of anyone having the effect he experienced. By overcoming the one issue, it sounds like he uncovered others.

I've got the recently released version 2 and I love it. It's fast, reliable, easy to use and now has charts (although they are area, not OHLC or candlesticks). For me it's also perfect for position management when I'm traveling - I won't miss dragging along a laptop.

Maybe the MarketZar folks and PFG would be willing to loan Baron their site and sim to run the contest since it looks like they've given up over there.

. . . and, can you PROVE you gave specific direction about your decision?

Still chuggin' along. Tough day but still pulled off a win. Have only had two down days since starting.

I still have a day job in the Pacific time zone, so I'm looking for trading opportunities where there's decent volume and order flow for trading during my evenings. I'd appreciate hearing about the pros and cons from anyone trading Japanese, Hong Kong or other Asian or Oceania based markets...

I've found waiting for a retracement to the 9 SMA works best for me. If the move takes off without me, so be it. BTW, I concur with M that everyone has to take responsibility to work with this - it's a starting point.

Beats me - like you, I found it good for a few laughs.

JJ, thanks for the suggestions. I used ZLT some time ago and it was very good. I'm finding OEC's chart trader, combined with OCO stops and profit targets, is now working well for me. Thanks again for the ideas, and also for your contributions to these threads!

That's for sure, and thanks! For me its "three greens, no reds!" Pilots know this is a good thing to hear during a landing checklist, and for a newbie day trader, I'm liking this a LOT after day three and up $833.80 overall. (I'm also up $195.20 in my IB account today using booktrader, which...

Results from day two. I slid my total PnL over into the window to be visible and hid my account number. I've been a position trader so adapting to day trading has been painful. I made two idiotic trade execution errors today that cost me $200, yet I still ended up green for the day...

I took the same short in the ES almost the same way, but I waited for a touch of the 9 period SMA instead of the 3+1. On the chart the green line is the 9 period SMA and the dashed blue line is the 3+1. (This is OEC's platform.) When I'm more comfortable with this, I can see a benefit to...
