)I think forextester is super great and its cheap for what it does. You can also just use the f12 button with mt4 and it will go bar by bar. Both are viable depending on what you are looking for, I have done both in my backtesting

Thr f12 button is ok to spot the patterns but you know, you can't trade... I could use vhands but I think forex tester is best

I am very sure Cyrus is interested in these kinds of posts. 
(i might link/refer to these posts in a possible future psychology-related thread)
perhaps two-word description for these people is having an analytical mind.
I agree (although the above are sweeping generalizations, i believe there are outliers, like Jduester said).
Just to add, i believe it's also about pride/humility.
the faster a trader reduces/removes pride & adds (more) humility [open-mindedness], the faster the success (in trading) will come.

IMO, if you're have a mathematical mind,.. are a programmer, dentist, physicist, have PHD in engineering, your chances of succeeding in this business are ultra slim. If you're an HR person, a psychologist, shrink.... you're miles ahead from others....

Seems too simplified to me.... Maybe I'm an outlier....

For me I usually just put my laptop in hibernate, so I have it up on the same page when I open it. If not though, I add a link to where I'm at on the "favorites bar" in internet explorer and delete my old link

Not directed to Jduester, SP or anyone else here.,
When these people arrive at a point where they get to know that the Degrees they have earned by studying their A$$ off for past 16-18 years, Have nothing to do with the trading skills they need to acquire, They need to make a decision, either to screw up and keep mixing the both, or to put down there ego and start learning from ZERO.
This decision would be Pivotal for there future in trading.
P.S: Het SC Long time Bro.

Hey guys and gals,
I'm in FLORIDA. My father had taken ill over the Holidays and has recovered so well that he was fit enough to return home to FLA. So I drove both my parents down here over the weekend and will stay for a bout a week.
Goodby Michigan snow . . . . at least for a week.

I believe that was the northern part of the state. I'm down in Vero Beach no snow here.
