I’m at my parents’ house today, visiting for Thanksgiving. I missed the early morning gold action because their firewall was blocking tradestation and I had to troubleshoot that. After a couple adjustments, I got it to work fine on their network (note to anyone who cares, since it’s not obvious in their online help: you need to open up TCP traffic on ports 11xxx).
I’ve never traded in front of my parents before, and I must say it’s a little intimidating. But, I made 2 trades so far for 2 wins in the first hour, and my mom said she wanted to quit her job and trade along with the eotpro.com folks! So, I’d say that was a positive reaction.
I didn’t let the computer trade because it’s a wireless connection here, and I really don’t want the parents to roll their eyes at me as my computer throws away hundreds of dollars. “But mooooom, it usually makes money, I swear!” But, my computer _would_ have made 1 trade so far for over 2 pts of profit. Damn!
I forgot to bring my headset, so I don’t know if I will be able to make any videos for the rest of the week.
[edit: I stopped for the day shortly after this post, because I think the cash markets were going to close at noonish... don't know if there was any action later, or not.]
