Autographed Steidlmayer Book Prize!!

[Soultrader 12]

Hi fellow TL members,

 

Today I have obtained two autographed rare copies of Steildmayers "New Market Discoveries". The book was translated into Japanese and released several years ago. The book is not available for purchase anywhere and is limited to only those within the financial industry.

 

I am keeping one for myself but would like to give away an extra copy with free shipping charges. Steidlmayer has signed the inner cover of this book. (not a print but actual signature)

 

I would like to a start a contest for this exclusive copy. Here are the conditions.

 

1. Post a broker review

 

OR

 

2. Upload an original trading video

 

AND

 

3. Must have 10 posts or more to qualify.

 

For those interested, please post here once you have met the above criteria. I will have a random (trust me it will be random) draw for one lucky winner out of all that participated.

 

Contest closes March 14, 2008!!

 

Thanks!

I've been meaning to do a review, so you just gave me motivation to do one James.

Great and yeah, make it random, James. Try not to pick any names except moderators. Try not to pick names that don't start with T. Try not to pick users with have less than 1000 posts... you get the picture!

 

(and don't make me say "oooh, ooooh, pick me, Mr. Cotter!!!!"). JK. Good luck all! Should be a good book to brag!

I've already posted a couple of reviews, does that mean my name's thrown in as well.

Yep, you are good to go.

[mister ed 10]

OK, so to post a broker review its pretty easy, just write one and post it up here. If, instead, you are going to upload an original trading video its going to require you have screen capture software. This can be expensive, but there are a number of free alternatives:

 

1. Camstudio

2. Jing Project

3. uTipu (thanks to heretodaygone… for bringing these last two to my attention)

 

Everything about how view, upload and share a trading video at Traders Laboratory can be found here.

 

Good luck everyone.

Shreem,

I find it odd that you rated Oanda 5 stars in everything but state:

 

Cons: charting software very not great and really need improvment, big widening spreads at news time

 

The cons are: - charting sotware is really not great and need lot of improvement. - big widening of spreads at important news announcement which can be annoying.

- no traling stop functionality.

 

I'm curious how a broker that has poor charting and wide spreads can get a perfect review....

 

 

What rating would they get if they actually had good charting?

[brownsfan019 17]

James - where is the best place to put questions/comments for the reviewers as I did above here? I do not see a place in the actual review area for this, so just wondering where comments/questions should be placed.

 

Thanks

[MC 10]

I've been all over the Tradestation review page with my issues with them.

Not sure if that qualifies, if not I'll gladly do a bigger write up to get in the mix here.

 

I've already put an ad in the local paper for a translator in anticipation of winning. J/K

 

Thanks for the chance James.

[shreem 10]

Hello Brownsfan019, thank for the question. Yes, it it true that their chartign are very not great. However, this is not a big issue since you can find easily available charting package for forex either free or not.

 

So, for me this is a not a creteria for removing a star to them. The same for the widening of spread at new time as I dont trade news anyway.

 

So, overall, very happy with them. The only thing is they dont offer future trading and i will be moving to trading e-mini so will need to find one for future

 

Sincerely

Momentom, I read your review, and the one above it of the same broker. We have a market ... albeit one with a wide spread!

[robb 10]

I just noticed this contest. Cool, does the review of Jack Broz and the Marlin chat count?

 

Thanks.

Nope. Need to post a review here.

[MC 10]

Nope. Need to post a review here.

 

I added a full Tradestation review and paid for a translator to read me the book. :o

 

Good luck to all in the drawing.

My Infinity Futures review has been posted.

 

Also, could you add EFXGroup (http://www.efxgroup.com) to the list. It is the Forex ONLY branch of MBT. I could write a review under MBT but EFXGroup has a separate office (different customer support) and is currently rolling out their own software and charting so the review should be separate.

[robb 10]

Nope. Need to post a review here.

 

Ok thanks, no problem....I just came back from Chicago from Pete Steidlymayer's seminar....he has changed from MP to a new "CapFLow" software style of trading anyway....

Thanks.
