I request Tlab Staff to please do something about stopping such spammers - http://www.traderslaboratory.com/forums/forex-trading-laboratory/13572-can-u-please-tell-me-how.html#post166574 They will literally ruin the forum in left unchecked. Thanks

I second that. Just have a look at what this spammer has done in the past few minutes -- If such guys are allowed to spam in this way, the forum quality will go down the drain. :crap:

He posts his weekly predictions based on his STOPD levels here: Weekly Outlook | DaytradingBias.com I want to know whether he has EXPLAINED the method / reasons / logic behind these levels and other stuff that he posts on daytradingbias. Why and how he calculates these and what are the practical importance etc ? Or we simply have to believe in these levels without having any understanding of what they are and how are they calculated etc. ? Does those paid pdf books contains the proper explanations or not ? If anyone has got these pdf then can you please answer that. Thanks a lot

Thanks for your valuable replies guys. I appreciate it a lot. This guy is actually the owner of Neoticker and he mentions that he works a lot with the big institutions and have done lot of research work for them. That's why I thought that maybe I should ask the opinions of fellow traders on the forums about his research work. He has got a few other research papers / reports for sale on that site as well.

Has anyone of you used this STOPD written by Lawrence Chan of Neoticker ? Please share your views or opinions about the same. Thanks

Thanks MightyMouse. It is very interesting. Tracking the positions of certain market participants as a group. Then Anticipating their probable response at important price levels and taking advantage of it when the opportunity occurs. Although all this is very subjective and I do not think that such stuff could be automated. It is more like the Market Narrative kind of homework exercise which Jim Dalton recommends. Thanks

Keep Two To-Do Lists, One Electronic and One Paper, To Help Prioritize Daily Lists http://lifehacker.com/5943264/keep-two-to+do-lists-one-electronic-and-one-paper-to-help-prioritize-daily-lists

How to Prioritize When Everything Is Important How to Prioritize When Everything Is Important You know that sinking feeling you have when there's too much on your plate? When you try to tackle your tasks by priority, but it feels like everything's important? Don't get overwhelmed—it's a problem that everyone faces at some point or another, and while it's difficult to skillfully juggle multiple priorities and competing responsibilities, it's not impossible. Here's how. It just so happens that there's a career that focuses specifically on juggling competing tasks and priorities: These people are called project managers. And as luck would have it, I was a full time PM for many years, PMP-certified and everything. In that time, I learned a number of helpful tricks that can help you manage your workload at the office as well as your ever-growing list of to-dos at home, with your family, or with your friends. Here's how you can apply some of those techniques to your everyday life.

Thanks for the suggestion Eddie. Yes, I am looking for such self management / time management tools only. Thanks

Neoticker has a pretty powerful pattern scanner as well - Why Use Pattern Scanner? Pattern Scanner, especially its ability to utilize multiple indicators in its scan, is very useful for the detection of complex setups. Pattern Scanner is also very flexible in terms of its ability to chain the scanning, send its results to quote window, etc. Making it the tool of choice to identify trading opportunities across many symbols.

Thanks for the very interesting discussion guys. @MightyMouse, Could you please tell which particular software do you use for breaking down the volume into 4 groups ? Do you use some tick level database tool or if you do it on the chart itself in the form of some indicator etc. @joshdance special thanks to you for the valuable inputs.

And here is the youtube channel for the GTD Videos GTD® - YouTube

For those who are new to the concept of GTD, here is some basic information from wikipedia - Getting Things Done - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Getting Things Done is a book by productivity consultant David Allen that describes the method/procedure that he created with the same title name, often referred to simply as GTD. The Getting Things Done method rests on the idea that a person needs to move tasks out of the mind by recording them externally, so the mind is free from the job of remembering the tasks that need to be completed. One can then concentrate on performing the tasks, instead of remembering.

CME, burned by MF Global, 'monitoring' Knight Capital | Reuters CME, burned by MF Global, 'monitoring' Knight Capital (Reuters) - CME Group Inc (CME.O), which regulates Knight Capital Group Inc's (KCG.N) newly acquired futures brokerage, is "monitoring" the embattled trading firm after an error wiped out $440 million of Knight's capital. Confidence in the futures industry's ability to safeguard customer funds has been shaken after two financially pressed futures brokers in less than a year have been accused of improperly raiding customer accounts for as much as $1.8 billion, despite regulatory oversight. Misfiring technology at Knight, a large New York Stock Exchange market maker, caused a rush of orders on Wednesday for dozens of stocks, roiling prices and undermining already weak investor confidence in U.S. financial markets. While securities regulators are looking into what went wrong on the trading side, the focus from the futures industry is on the estimated $411 million in customer funds that were part of Knight's purchase last month of floundering futures brokerage Penson Financial Services. That amount is slightly more than Peregrine Financial Group reported having when its CEO last month confessed to stealing from customer accounts for years, in part to keep his company afloat. Regulators say Peregrine's CEO misappropriated more than $200 million of customer money. The October failure of much larger MF Global resulted in a customer asset shortfall of $1.6 billion, the bankruptcy trustee has said. CME, which was MF Global's main regulator, has blamed misdeeds by management at both firms for causing the customer losses. "We are monitoring the situation with Knight," a CME spokeswoman said, declining to provide details. Knight said on Thursday it is "actively pursuing its strategic and financing alternatives to strengthen its capital base. CME says it did everything possible to prevent customer funds from being misused at MF Global as that firm dealt with a liquidity crunch following revelations of a bet on European sovereign debt that investors worried would turn sour. Within a day or two, CME had auditors on site checking MF Global's books, which showed customer funds were intact. Days later, CME found those books were wrong and MF Global had siphoned customer money from protected accounts to fund corporate needs, according to a CME account of the events leading to MF Global's collapse. Knight bought Penson's accounts on May 31 for $5 million, plus a cut of future revenue, a Securities and Exchange Commission filing shows. Penson had $411 million in customer funds as of that day, the most recent report from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission shows. It was one of a dozen or so independent future brokers that are only a fraction the size of the Wall street broker-dealers that dominate the industry. Separately, securities regulators are looking into Knight's trading error, the chief of the biggest U.S. options market said. "Our understanding is that the SEC and Finra are reviewing what happened yesterday," CBOE Holdings Inc (CBOE.O) CEO and Chairman William Brodsky told analysts. "We're obviously reluctant to get ahead of the regulators on this ... I really think we ought to let the facts come out and then see what happens." Knight Capital, one of the largest firms that buy and sell stocks to provide liquidity to the markets, blamed a "technology issue" for the problem.

I agree, the goal should be to gain overall fitness, rather then just loosing weight.

In my views, in the context of Trading, discipline is certainly necessary but not sufficient. It needs a combination of many different factors to be consistently successful in this game. In regard to other fields, I would say, it depends. There might be some profession which does not require a lot of intelligence / smartness / imagination / creativity blah blah blah... which is more like a mechanical type of work,, there one could be successful based on discipline.

Sorry but I do not have it currently.

Hi ! Which software do you use for managing your "Tasks to be done" lists ? I have tried using Excel and Mind Maps, but they are not very efficient at it. While searching for the solution, I came to know about "GTD - Getting Things Done". I wanted to know if you guys have any experience with this ? Which software do you use for managing your priorities properly ? Thanks for any input
