Quote from Spectra:

Its really hard to say what ever pulls out. Ie: Today we pulled 30 pts on a short setup. Most of the newbies jumped out after 10 points or so. I set my trail stop and let it ride. The problem is most newbies will sit with huge stops then only take out small profits on good positions. Our trading record is 'newbie' friendly and shows a worst case scenario. So when you see a 10 tick trade it may be 30. We have different skill levels for different traders in our room. Newer traders are not there to rake in huge profits. They are there to learn while not losing their shirt.

Check out a trial if you wish, you'll see what I mean.

Quite confusing indeed, so why did you start recording trades not issued by Alex, like maxspan,retrace.

How is anyone suppose to know how many lots were traded on these trades?

How many account are needed ?

Cajun, not trying to flame here but I have a legitimate question.

Do you consider yourself a newbie or a seasoned professional?

Spectra · May 3, 2007

Sure. I understand.

I actually consider myself somewhere in between. I've only been doing this for years, not decades. Now I consider Alex to be a seasoned professional.

well seasoned in the chatroom perhaps.

Trading in general, not just eminis

I've been in the game since 1999, Alex has since 1970. He's got a few more years of experience on me. I'm glad I can benefit from it.

what other markets do you trade besides the eminis?

Spectra · May 15, 2007

Alex will be starting to provide alerts on corn. He used to trade it years ago. There is a lot of interest in corn right now due to ethanol.
