wjrusnak started following Chat Junkies

I am. Had to take a two month trading break for boards tho.

It is fairly random with this skype deal. Sometimes the chat is running full swing at 11pm eastern. Check it out if you'd like.

To add to that, you would still benefit from switching brokers. From what I remember... you can make 3 day trades per 5 business day sessions when you are under $25k. That is probably how you're getting away with it now. Anyway, you can also trade forex and futures from an IB acct, so I'd advise making the switch soon. Also, I can't help but wonder... did you come up with a solid strategy and test it (either sim or back-testing)? You'll probably hear it more than once on this forum about how important that is. After reading your posts, I was honestly surprised that you immediately opened up an account and started trading... day trading at that. In any case, good luck to you.

FYI... I wasn't subscribed to this thread... bitch

If you're serious about charting and have the need to use indicators, then I would use a better platform. I haven't traded stocks in a year, but I know that Interactive Brokers has TraderWorkstation included and also TradeStation is a good platform for just about every instrument, but a bit expensive (you have to trade 5000 shares/mo. or pay $99/mo. to use the platform... but only 10 round futures trades!). Anyway, I would certainly avoid using free (EDIT: cheap) tools for such an important task.

We're still pals, though, right?
-
Well I take that back... It's semi-active.

I must be reading this wrong or something. You are where to learn how to trade above the norm? Traders Lab... because well that's here not there. And I see Nial Fuller... um... you're welcome brownsfan. I think we found his agenda. EDIT: To Add: Many professionals make a living off "lagging" indicators. Don't become an idealist
-
Possible yes, but why do all that work? The point of a chart is to graphically display what price did over a certain time, so that you don't have to remember! If you decide to try this, you probably don't want to be at a site like Traders Laboratory, which emphasizes a lot on price action (candlesticks, support/resistance, momentum, indicators, moving-averages, automated trading, etc.), as all of them highly depend on a chart.

A broken record man...What is the obsession with real time calls? We never have any issues with that. We're all in the room trading and talking about why we took a trade or what we're looking for in another. Then when trading gets slow, we B.S. about health, airplanes, and television. We're not selling shit and we don't want people to believe us. Ever since DbPhoenix didn't release his P&L, you've have this weird fetish with traders releasing their results. Let it go man. In any case, DbPhoenix came to the forum and released a ton of good information that only helped this forum (and I imagine drove a lot of traffic... wink wink... business men). FWIW, here is my P&L for the week. Now everyone come watch me trade! I'll make real time calls for all of you. Then again maybe I won't, because it's fairly distracting to have to type my entries into a chat... or even talk about them aloud... And then again, I'll remember I'm not trying to capture a following or selling a book, so I don't care what people think. The idea of this forum is to help people... not to force them to become transparent. Information...traders helping traders. I guess this boils down to: what the hell is your problem? **Disclaimer: Results may be fabricated and this may be fake entirely. You'll never know. What is the point of posting a P&L after the fact. If your bank account grows, proving yourself to other traders on a forum is probably the least of your worries.** (was going to post it on your thread, but it didn't look like it was active)

Hey... anyone that came to the chat room was immediately alerted of what happened. No secret knock required. P.S. What is your skype username?
-
And then maybe we could quit sending emails about puretick.com. No offense intended, of course. I understand there are bills to pay.
-
You really think we would leave Bil out in the dark? C'mon brownsfan... you know we're better than that!

"message in a bottle...."

I'm on page 74... I stopped reading it a while ago because I read Db's material first. In other words, Db did a hell of a job summarizing just about everything you would need to know about Wyckoff (before he went into exile that is ). Aside from that, the book is a good read, even if just to review the concepts, which at this point I feel are essentially the basics that any trader would know (i.e. trends, support/resistance, springboards, hinges, etc.). Like the guy in the video says: its so simple yet so brilliant. As for End of Day (EOD), the book is teaching you how to trade stocks EOD. So you're in luck. Buy it and read it. I'm sure it'll have something valuable to someone trying to "catch the trend and not just swings". Good luck.
