Ok guys this is a little bit of the adventure we had in Mexico Andrew, Carlos and myself.... We arrived to Mexico City on Tuesday afternoon and then we went to the our cabins located at the town of Amecameca, in Mexico State, about 1.5 hours drive from Mexico City. After checking-in in our cabins we went to a nearby forest to look for Fireflies and we were surprised with a lot of them in their mating ritual in the dark. For dinner, we had delicious Chiles en Nogada, right know is pomegranate season in Mexico and restaurants use it to prepare this great Mexican dish. Thursday we had a Cecina (meat) breakfast before a 11K / 2.5 hrs hike around Paso de Cortés (3,600m) to get some acclimatization before the real thing (Iztaccihuatl volcano, third highest peak in Mexico, 5,286m). In this hike we went through Apatlaco park where we admired a fall and some creeks After the hike we went to see some places around Amecameca and finished the day with a dinner and a hail storm. Friday we continued with sightseeing Amecameca, got some supplies and we head to Iztaccihuatl volcano base to set up our camp to spend the night there to start hiking Saturday 6.00 am. Saturday night we had a very heavy rain and thunders for the most part of the night so we got poor sleep. Of course this rain covered of snow the Iztaccihuatl the day after. @ 4:00 am we woke up to break camp and pack up. 6:00 am we started our hike to Iztaccihuatl. After about 6 hours hiking, Carlos and I made it to the “Los Cien” retreat @ 4,780m and decided to head back to base while Andrew continued the hike to the summit (5,286m). For Carlos and I the Iztaccihuatl was our first mountain (in this case, volcano) so 4,780m wasn´t that bad. For Andrew, having done Nepal before, Iztaccihuatl wasn´t a big deal lol… Next day, Sunday evening, we meet Leland, who flew from Tijuana to México City to meet Andrew, and Fernando @fdo.smo, from México City. They shared their own motivations to get into day trading, some reports from the field and had a great time.

To update your software, I recommend first doing the following: Make sure you've saved your Desktop in DAS. Next, go to Tools>Back Up Settings. It should save a copy of your DAS settings to your PC/Laptop desktop. Finally, I make a copy of the entire DASTrader Pro folder located on my PC's hard drive and paste it somewhere else. If something goes awry, you can always copy everything back over to the folder and not miss a beat. To update, go to Tools>Auto Upgrade. It will prompt you and complete the update to version 5.2.0.31. Good luck!

Hi everyone, I've seen most people calculating shares to trade as a quick estimate. I like to trade a fix risk percentage for risk management and my brain unfortunately struggles to do the calculation in one second! Below is script for buy and sell that you can configure a hot key with to automate the calculations for you. What is important is that you enable 'Double click to trade' in your chart settings (Configure). Double clicking on any area in the chart will save the Price, which is your stop loss price. The script will then calculate the amount of shares required, and open the trade for you in one go. The 125 value in the script is the $ amount you want to risk. Change this as your account grows. Hope it helps, and let me know if there is a bug in the scripts. Buy Price=Ask-Price + 0.01;Share=125 / Price;ROUTE=SMRTL;Price=Ask+0.10;TIF=DAY+;BUY=Send Sell Price=Price-Bid + 0.01;Share=125 / Price;ROUTE=SMRTL;Price=Bid-0.10;TIF=DAY+;SELL=Send

Hi Rebecca. Welcome to the family. It can be daunting at first but with time it will seem much slower. Re-watch the videos and just keep doing sim as long as it takes to get comfortable. There's no rush to go live. Make sure to ask questions. There are many awesome helpful people in the group. PJ

Hello Everyone! My name is Rebecca and I live in Sherwood, Oregon....just south of Portland. I joined last week but today was my 2nd day on the simulator...I watched all the videos, read Andrews book, thought I was so ready, got on the simulator and kinda froze...I didn't know what I was doing, everything was going so fast. I am now re-watching all the videos again..then maybe again... My son gave me Andrews book to read and he was right I really enjoyed it - I am very excited to learn from you all and so happy to be part of the Bear Bull Traders!
