Rolling to Sept, raising stop on 1 to 1248, other stays at 1255.25.

He meant bend over alert Har Har. Seriously, you don't know what rollover is? Isn't this a futures journal? June ES rollover is tomorrow, volume will be declining into expiration next Fri. Nevermind: You've been here since 04....you trollin :)

Sure thing man. Yes, it's problematic if you want to do stocks and account is < 25K. You could trade 1-2 contracts of ES with 10K (or 1 with 6K) but the moves are going to be bigger than with stocks. I had a friend who had a small account ($5K) and he did alright daytrading (actually...

Congrats on your results and your excitement about trading. I have zero experience with the sim you are using but ... Paper trading does not simulate the most important element...your emotions once you are in real trades. Luckily most people don't emotionally discern between small and bigger...

I'll take one off if we hit 62 again. But it's a swing trade so I'm looking for at least 100 points. So if I'm wrong, at least the risk reward was decent. I'd prefer 1420 before 1262 though :)

Yeah, oversold and overbot are pretty useless...I just view it like an elastic band....things get stretched too far, they usually snap back a bit. I figure 50ish ES points in a day and a half is overkill

BOT 2 @1266.25..swing trade. We are WAY outside range (drop thru 200 day, no retrace) Stop 1245

I'm trying to get Interactive brokers to email me a monthly statement automatically that is encrypted. In the account management settings, it is greyed out and the help page says to call IB sales to set it up. I called customer support and sales and no one has ever heard of this. They're all...

Is this a serious question? Obviously tradestation would be better (and I don't like TS). Etrade? Does anyone trade futures with Etrade? Why don't you just daytrade your IRA with Scottrade, makes about as much sense.

I'd be very interested in this too. Only anecdotal info i can offer is my friend has a macbook and a macbook pro (the macbook is a ccfl screen) and they couldn't tell a difference except the quality on the pro's screen being better. I've heard that ccfl is toward the blue (cool white) end of...

LOL Windows Mobile

IB runs on Linux or Mac (Java Based). So does TOS.

I got back to you, just click on forums at the top and it'll tell you you have a new message. Or go to "your account" in top right and one of the first options on the far right is view all pms

Haha, here come the jokers. I've used meetup in the past, I met a couple of good trading buddies on it. Unfortunately most of the people on there are get rich types who migrated from some real estate scheme to an investing scheme. At least on ET I am narrowing it down to trading only schemers.

Fair enough. What he said. I've been around a while on ET, I'm not a spammer etc but I understand there is no reason to believe me. Anyone interested respond here or by pm. I've got about 4 interested people...much more encouraging than I was expecting. We'll see how many are flakey :)

Hey guys, Usually we meet up around Marina del Rey (seems to be the midpoint for all of us). Some of us are around West LA and downtown, others are down around Hermosa/Redondo. If that changes as the group grows, we'll be flexible about the location. PM me your email addresses and I'll...

Really? Day and swing traders could discuss their front end setup, books/articles they liked/influenced them, how their charting setup is, what setups they look for (IF they feel comfortable with that) and shifts in the way markets are behaving. I do both (though more swing trading) and I...

I'm located in Los Angeles and was wondering if there are any LA traders here. A couple of buddies and me occasionally get together on the weekend to chat about the markets (mostly monthly) if anyone else is interested. Some traders are position, some swing, some daytraders. Almost all...

If you just want data and software, it's pretty much eSignal or CQG. Those are the well regarded options. I guess you could try Sierra Charts, I have no experiences with them but they have good reviews http://www.elitetrader.com/so/?action=view&SR_ProductID=64

Perhaps you should lay out more clearly exactly what you want in the package? In your previous posts I saw nothing about needing forex data. I always found Sierra Charts website/pricing too cryptic and confusing to figure out. If you just need in depth equity futures data it should just...
