+++++++ I am aware of my feelings while trading. Pay much more attention to working the trading plan + price than my feelings. Sounds like a smart idea for some;speech comanded trading.
The mouse is good for many things. But the keyboard is much better for fast, reliable, high-stakes trade control. Most specialized, scalper-specific software is keyboard oriented. It's much faster and much less error-prone. A two-year-old can accurately press a selected key on the keyboard the first time. Mastering the mouse takes extensive practice. I can hit a tennis ball with reasonable accuracy. Given the repetitive task of placing balls in a bucket, I would rather stand next to the bucket and drop them in. Especially if accuracy confers a monetary reward. It's better to be correct rather than stylish when money is at stake. Repetitive tasks, such as trading, attract errors. Every tool and technique employed to reduce those errors will pay dividends over time. Many view keyboard-control as clunky and old, so many broker programs don't support it. Fortunately, the better one's do. Richard
A keyboard you say? Ahem. I hear my cue. Trade with a gamepad instead- http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=18655 <img src="http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=270335">
You're actually using voice recognition? I worked with some very good software for a while and was not able to get it to work satisfactorily. Just think, even if you get 99% successful recognition. That 1% can cause you to: buy or sell the wrong stock enter the wrong price Enter a market order when you wanted a limit order All that much more power to you if you have voice recognition that works 100%!
