Yes, you can send it to nebeno@woh.rr.com Thanks!

Hello, I was wondering if anyone would by chance have some 7-minute data for NQ available? I only have data back to 1-8-03 and would like to do some system testing further back. I'm using Ensign, so that would be best, otherwise ascii format would be fine. Thanks, Ben

I am very happy about todays trades. It was another losing day, but I am very much at peace with the trades I made. 9:47 1272.00 10:04 1280.00 These where a couple trades that I wanted to take, and probably would have had I not been held back by the strict rules I made for myself...

Daniel, thank you for the reply. I do want make it clear though that the war of which I speak is only against myself, not the market. This is actually an analogy I have used before in my way of thinking. I so often lack discipline, I can speak for an hour on something (trading or otherwise) that...

I love that, and understand completely. As I have found in trading as well as life, The only flaw of my logic, is that I am illogical. It's good to know I'm not the only one without a no-brainer day. Ben

Thank you for the replies Commisso. I agree on flipping positions, in that circumstance it was a good trade. What I have done however, is used the logic that if it does not move my direction immediately, then it must therefor move the opposite direction. The only reason for the flip is that I am...

WooHoo!! broke 10000 characters, had to split up the post. Sorry for making it so long :) Summery (I want to start adding this to sum up the things I've learned through the days trades) Lessons Learned: 1. Never, never, never, never, never, never Overtrade. I'm certain I should have...

Ah yes, it is certain, yesterday was surely luck :). This was at first an attempt to do what I did yesterday, just basically scalp small trades. However, what I realized is that as opposed to yesterday, when I was for the most part trying to get in larger moves and just get out after a couple...

I don't doubt at all that it was luck :) I had a couple decent trades, but for the most part I think I just got lucky to not have any losers, mostly I did some lousy trades. As with paper trading I hope I can look at it as good and bad trades based on if I held up to my 'rules' and didn't trade...

Ok, now for my first question. I know there have been a lot of discussions on Discretionary vs. Mechanical trading. Honestly I enjoyed the safety of knowing what every trade was and the exact reasons I got in. However for the past couple weeks I found that I can just tell when a move happens...

Forgot to post the chart. Ben

I wish to write a journal here, from the very beginning (yesterday was my first day live trading), in hopes that I may gain insight upon myself, and that I may help those who also are first beginning to trade. As I obviously have limited knowledge, this will probably become more closely a...

Anyone see the one for Etrade (I think it was) that aired during the super bowl (awhile back). Started out with these two old guys sitting in a little garage in a suburb just staring into space (looked either retarded or drugged), then a chimp starts dancing on a trash can between the two for...

I would agree on building your own, beside the fact that it is generally cheaper, I have gained a great deal of knowledge through doing so. And as you have built it all yourself, I find it easier to diagnose problems if they occur becuase I know exactly what I did to build it (and also shopping...

I have been using Esignal for a couple months now. Honestly though, I mostly just use it for the e-mini's, and had only used Nextrend's free service before so I don't really have much to compare it with. I really have not noticed any problems though. If I want to look at a tick chart there are...

Here's a list of some educational sites I have found and used while learning, hopefully they are still helpful (have not been to several of them for awhile). <b>Favorites</b> http://www.daytradingstocks.com/ http://www.tradingmarkets.com/index.cfm (with the free trial)...

I do not believe I have heard of Danial Zanger, what trading record does he hold?

Based on the number of customers and the amount paid that looks like at the very least $150,000,000 made there. My question is, why would anyone not pay a piddly $5 million to make the FTC happy??? Is it just pure greed or what?

Was fun except the very first chart I got was just bouncing in a small range, and then gapped down 12%+ on the very next bar after what I could see. Shoulda seen that one coming :) Ben

I would most definitely agree with freedom. Though this is more likely due to my brief experience in sales, in which I hated the job, and much more so, hated the bosses (as did everyone in the company). So I'm sure there are good jobs out there, but I honestly cannot imagine myself working under...
