Yes, it's like playing in at pokerstars.net. A bunch of kids playing with play money.


Quote from Icarus5:

That's a very bad example if you're trying to prove Apex82's legitimacy.

That's a blotter from NinjaTrader, and anyone who uses it knows that there are two rows of information, the top row is for the SIM account, and the bottom row is for the trader's real account.

Maybe that 100 lot is real, and maybe it isn't. You never really know.

Just realize where you are, try not to be naive, enjoy the experience for what it is worth, and take everything on these boards with a grain of salt.

Good trading,

I
 
I honestly dont care if you believe me or not. I understand its only normal to be skeptical in trades/calls I have made. I amaze myself everyday.. so I am not surprised in the slighest if someone thinks I am BS. All of thousands of posts on this thread I have made have been honest. You have to remember that this is a thread and not all fills can be perfectly executed to the tick as planned in a post the prior day. When I am trading I am reacting at a blink of an eye and there could be differences of a tick here and there. I do my best to keep it clear and concise as possible. Your just wasting mine and others time with this perfect fill stuff.
 
Just a thought or two.

First, if a newbie trader is trying to learn this game, "fills" are the last thing they should be concerned with.

What a newbie really needs to know, is how a profitable trader "thinks" about trading the night before and after the first half hour. How a trader attacks the day. What the thought process is when they take a loss. What their risk management rules are. Why and when they decide to stand aside.

There is plenty that a newbie can learn, and not just from Apex.

The rest in my view is just silly bullshit from people who are having difficulty managing the frustration and uncertainty that is inevitable during the learning process.

Give it a rest.

I have been following this thread for a while and want to thank everyone that post here for their insight. Hope to learn a lot more in 2008 and be a better trader.
 
apex, were u wearing your pajamas when u made that post at 12:30 in the morning,were u wearing your slippers, did u have milk and cookies, was it california time ,ny time,chicago time, who cares.Your input along with 3 or 4 others is why the rest of us visit this site, we need your help, those who come here for help ,keep coming,those who creep in here like a fart, stop fartin
 
one of the things I was trying to show is the compression on the 240 minute chart... 1470 or so expected minimally..or 1468, 1468 has been a crucial number, it has represented a pivot of sorts.

spec, if you take the tops of those low congestion areas around 11/25 and 12/14 and connect them you come up with support for thur low,don.t know how to put up a chart on here,sorry, by the way ,all these calls on here are great and too good to be true,remember that fundamentals can blow charts away at any given moment ,so if your newer to trading and you dont have your stops in somewhere you could wipe out your whole year

screenrifle is a shareware/freeware, its very useful to capture screen shots or setups to file for reference.

I like camtasia studio, going to be recording key numbers and dates to keep a journal of sorts.
 
tried to watch the one you put up here yesterday with 3 vertical charts and saw your arrow moving around on screen but had no sound ill look up that last suggestion thanks
