    **Almost in Tears** Need Mentor for Futures Market.

    Soap opera. Gentlemen, I have something to share. I think BnB is a dishonest whiner. I had a thread, with similar topic, I was looking for mentor, although w/o tears. Guess, who wanted to mentor me? BnB! My claims can be backed up by mods, I have all private messages. I post this not to...

    How is this for a strategy since 95% of tradres loose

    Brilliant. Broker makes extra $ in savings in spread/commissions AND takes the other side effectively. Broker would have to target pool of small new traders... ...Illegal

    JSystemTrader (Java/IB)

    >>>Testing IS a big deal. Depends on goals. IB should just keep an eye on the project, rest of the job is up to community. >>>To start with who would write and maintain the test plan I will. I have outlined a minimal scope: 1) new JDKs 2) new version of IB 3) run few basic test...

    JSystemTrader (Java/IB)

    I have read through just 1/2 the thread, sorry if this is repetitive. I think it would be good to get IB(!) interested in initially maintaining the project on SourceForge or Apache. Their responsibility can be just testing on new JDKs and testing for compatibility with newer versions of IB...

    Looking for mentor

    For the last few months I keep all my cash in CD account. I believe it suits best the looming uncertainty of the market. Do you think I am successful and will my method work for you? If you don't, lucky me I told you my strategy upfront. ?? As you can see some people might end up...

    Looking for mentor

    100%. gg12, artes, I understand that this is free BB. I do not own this thread, so anyone can post their opinion. My opinion is that you distract this thread and your level of expertise and integrity is nowhere near the level of a senior profitable trader. This is very transparent.

    Looking for mentor

    Quote from TSGannGalt: ... Anyways, I think you have the "basic" background and skills to apply for what you desire. I wouldn't limit myself to trade automation because a lot of discretionary traders aren't so logical. They use the conditional "feel" to describe their trading. (most will...

    Looking for mentor

    I'll start off. 1. One of the factors of developing a trading model is to extract a certain tendency of the market. Simply/Obvious, right? Trying to find a "System of Everything" will not work. Look at Opening Range Breakout, there is a definite fundamental reasoning for it. The Equities...

    Looking for mentor

    1. A good way to find a mentor is for you to provide them with computer support and in return have them teach/watch them trade. Most discretionary traders can't program. Go in as a trader assistant using your IT background. This should be a fair deal for both sides. I can certainly help...

    Looking for mentor

    1) How much time will you commit to trading? I used to swing trade, which is easy on West Coast. And easy to monitor. I took 1.5 years off work for research. I can devote a lot of time. I prefer not to stare at the screen the whole day though. 2) How much money do you have to devote to...

    Looking for mentor

    1. Can you elaborate on why you think you're not profitable yet? I could list many potential reasons, but I don't know real reasons. Guess: 1) tracking multiple markets instead of just one - I did it because I wanted my system/approach to be applicable to multiple markets 2) poor price...

    Looking for mentor

    Common, why such bitterness and aggravation? Again. NOT LOOKING FOR TURN_KEY SYSTEM, NO ONE WILL SHARE IT. Looking for skill. If this offends you, don't read the thread. How much money can I give upfront? Some, which may be not enough for someone and plenty for another. But that miniscule...

    Looking for mentor

    traderNik, why did you choose to misquote me? I am not asking for a turn-key system. I am looking to observe/learn a skill. And if successful, give back. Normal behavior. If that does not work for you, I can understand that. But it just may work for someonelse. I thought about putting a...

    Surdo, no need to bet. I read his thread and created my own. There are many duplicate threads outthere. Not very original, yes. But true. If you really want to bet, I am up for it.

    Hello, WHERE AM I IN REGARDS TO MARKETS I studied markets for 7 years. I am a breakeven trader with temperament suited for swing trading (futures). I read many books (Toby Crabel, LBR, Tharp, Douglas and others) and followed ET for a while. My emotions are in check and I am not stubborn...
