I've been here on ET for 10 years, but must end my visits due to an unexpected development which can not be remedied. While I've not contributed much to ET, I have enjoyed reading many posts over the years, and sincerely thank those who provided me with that enjoyment. And most of all I would...

Prediction is one of the biggest pitfalls in chart reading. If you want to know where prices will be on your dog's birthday, ask your dog not the chart.

Importance of trading plan! Chefs have recipes, builders have blueprints, drivers have maps, and traders have plans. Now ain't that a brilliant observation!:D

About it , yes. About it is one thing, and the PM itself it another! Heart vs pulse! Sell over 70%, buy under30%, yeah I got that. So easy. Great for some. But if you think that discretionary traders don't have rules to follow, well I just don't know what to tell ya. You might want to check...

I've always looked at price movement as being the heart, and indicators as being the pulse. I'd rather have the doctor listen to my heart than just feel my pulse. Wouldn't you too? Face it, indicators can't and don't provide the detail that's found in price movement analysis. However, it is...

Get the same feeling. @John9999 You've received excellent advice and ideas from a number of posters. And it surely doesn't appear as though you're 'eating this stuff up' as you should be doing if you are truly interested in improving your trading. What a waste. Maybe it's the required effort...

CPU could be running high. Check your Task Manager to see. Could also be lack of sufficient memory. When you lose complete control of your mouse and /or keyboard, disconnect the power cord and hold down the power button for 30 seconds. Your problem could be a slight version of loss of complete...

So true. If somebody's granny with only, say, $5000 can turn a profit every year、how is she any less a pro than GS and the like? She knows her stuff. So she's a pro!!

@John9999 Believe the above. It'll save you some bucks!!

And as your friendly stockbroker might say, "This could be your last chance to buy at these prices!!"

Ah!, someone who shares my opinion! Maybe you could expand on this point as I tried to do last year in the following post. Maybe you can do a better job than I did as nobody seemed to pay attention to what I(we) believe is valuable...

Correction to post #10: After all, you didn't regret not entering that trade at the very bottom, did you?

Don't regret it when you didn't exit at the top. After all, you didn't regret entering that trade at the very bottom, did you? Excuse me, but I'm guessing that you haven't studied TA to any great extent, as you currently can't answer your own question. And am also guessing that you don't intend...

Show me a pro baseball player who doesn't do it. That's your homework for the weekend! Figure it out and you'll be a better trader come Monday!

One of the world's greatest traders once said: Sim trading is to the trader what swinging at thin air is to the batter.

Has machine learning, AI killed killed short-term trading opportunities? Let's check.........Sold Nikkei at 23620.........hold on a second............................................exited at 23615. Ok, short term trading is still alive!! Short term trading opportunities will always be there as...

I have friends who were security analysts at major investment banks. Now on their own, I asked them how comfortable they would be analyzing companies etc. with only the fundamental information available to them as retail traders. All agreed that they would be just as well off following their gut...

As comagnum said, liquidity is not a problem. The MM's keep the spread to 1 tick. I've traded both and the Mini is considerably more active and it is so much easier to get filled.

When price is in a range why do some people buy at the top? Because they don't think like the 2nd mouse!!

So I guess you were using version 10 at that time. They built a new program from scratch starting with version 11. It was a significant improvement, lead by the Project Manager at the time. But when he left the company everything fell apart. It is still excellent in many respects. But it looks...
