Quote from Cariocas:
Hardyard's talk about volume reminds me of marketdelta.com HD, is that an accurate assumption?

I mentioned in a post earlier that there are several matters that I am not prepared to discuss, software being one of them.
It may at first seem to be mean spirited but I can assure that it is not.
The principal decision that we all eventually come to in order to trade well and enjoy the exercise( no matter how we entered into the world of trading) is this.
Establish who you are; what makes you tick; what time frame suits you best; etc etc.
In other words we need to profile ourselves.
Once this is completed in an honest sense, the rest will flow. The most suitable software will surface with the help of google & ET and so will brokerage, order entry, entry points, exits etc etc.
I started out with a selection of programmes and invested huge chunks of time jumping from one vendor and supplier to another before I came to the conclusion above and turned the PC off until I had written a complete trading plan. When I say complete, I mean that it easily fits onto one page.
I started out in business almost 30 years ago and my business plans were quite different to my trading plan now.
A new business startup involves taking a well founded idea ading capital, good people and a huge amount of energy to achieve a critical mass. Once the business arrives at this point, it is driving you as much as you are steering it.
Trading is similar in a totally different way. The biggest difference being the infinite number of trading ideas that tend to overwhelm us all in the begining.
What markets to trade, what time frame, what software, what broker.... the list is endless.
It is this reasoning on my part that keeps me from discussing software and several other matters although I will leave clues to those who wish to pursue them.
