Guest Post: Prosperity Game Day4 + Day5: The Ultimate Daytrading Setup

Posted on January 28th, 2007
Written by Phileo

Good Trading begins with a good trading environment. One element of a good trading environment is having the right tools. I’ve been reading about Boogster’s Daytrading computer system. It’s a pretty nice setup, with bonus advice on LCD setups thrown in for good measure. But for my Prosperity Game, I need [...]

It’s Day Two of my $500-increment prosperity game, and that means I’ve got $1000 to spend. I’ve been learning French in my spare time, somewhat slowly. I’m listening to lots of podcasts, etc, but still I think I could use some help with pronunciation from a teacher. So, I’ll sign up for [...]

As mentioned in the kick-off article, I am playing a game where I have to spend some imaginary money regularly (nominally each day, but we’ll see how close I can track to that). I have decided to go in $500 increments. Today is the first day of the game, so I have $500 [...]
