Well, a nice warm fuzzy hug is all we trader mentors really expect right? Isn't that what trading is all about? :)

Light travels in all directions at the same time so it serves as a bad example; because of its dual nature as a particle and a wave (its particle nature allows it to travel in every direction at the same time, BTW), we find it difficult to compare it to objects that are ruled primarily by...

Well, let's just say you need to start making money right from the start and be extremely conservative with losses...

I'm sorry for FORCING YOU TO READ IT. You are a fool. The fact is that most traders at OEC probably do not compare the OEC DOM data to other platform DATA. I'm telling you that I see major size print off in OEC DOM but no such major size printing off in TT DOM. If you were smart enough, this...

Jesse Livermore repeatedly stated that his best trades always worked out from the start. I suppose this would be true because it is easier for a train to continue moving 95mph in one direction than it is for the train to stop, and move backwards at 95mph. so when you get in, the trade either...

Maybe that was it. But now I am having an even more serious problem. See below Another issue I'm having seems more serious. I'm seeing size print off in OEC DOM but the same size not printing off in my TT DOM. For example I'll see 800 print off at 28s in the 30-yrs on the OEC DOM but only...

anyone else have this problemo?

Another issue I'm having seems more serious. I'm seeing size print off in OEC DOM but the same size not printing off in my TT DOM. For example I'll see 800 print off at 28s in the 30-yrs on the OEC DOM but only 25 print off in TT DOM. I'm going to start recording my screen from now on so that...

Please answer this poll IF AND ONLY IF you work (or worked) for a retail firm and have inside knowledge about trader statistics. I read somewhere that 99.999% of retail traders fail. If you work for a retail firm and have inside information on statistics like these, please answer the poll.

I appreciate that. Thanks

Hello all, I was wondering what software you traders use for monitoring performance (PnL) and calculating all of the various ratios that are pertinent to hedge fund managers (i.e. sharpe ratio and etc...). I was going to create an excel spreadsheet and manually program all of the relavent...

I'm leaning toward leaving Open E-Cry because of the disconnection Issues I've had. Still weighing the cost-benefit though. Truth is, I pay a hell of a lot for TT.

Problem is that the disconnection issues at Open E-Cry occur about once every three weeks. So I would have to trade from this other location for over a month perhaps. What I could do is re-activate my DSL connection with a different ISP just for a few months. I think I'll do that actually...

TT has been pretty reliable (the last time i had a disconnect issue was this month when the ECBOT had technical difficulties but before that the last time I had an issue with TT was way back in March or April of 2005). Difference is that when I called TT customer service, they were able to...

Here's my setup. 4 PCs with broadband cable connection plus (30mbps rather than the standard 15mbps) PC#1: For trade executions in my Open E-Cry account. I have this entire PC dedicated to this one program alone (well, excel, word, also installed but used rarely). Open E-Cry is my...

...Now that is what we call NAIVETY... You are entitled to your own opinion but you are not entitled to your own facts.... - Daniel Patrick Moynihan Former Senator, New York

Take it from me, it is important to have chart data which is independent from the data provided by the broker you trade through. As you gain more experience in the markets, you will understand why this is so important. Personally I use CQG for my charts. Another very important thing to do...

I agree completely that any loss in my account is my fault. Whenever you open an account with a broker you are taking a chance; i knew the risks when I opened the account. The little over $3 in commissions I pay per RT for the bonds and $4 for ES is low considering there are no monthly fees...

Oh I've contacted them many many times over the past 9 or so months. Always told that the problem is with my ISP. Nobody else on this website seems to have experienced a problem; this is quite different from your statement that no one else experienced a problem. Obviously I don't trade...

It is true that my thread is 100% geared to draw attention to my problem. Are you saying I want revenge over a measly $1200 loss? Please man get real!!! I am not saying that OEC did this intentionally. I would only want revenge if they had done this intentionally and if that were the case I...
