Hi guys, I made a little search and I got this:

http://www.camstudio.org/ (download the software from http://sourceforge.net/projects/camstudio/) -- this is free and should meet our purpose. cementman, please try it if you're comfortable with it.

I'm not sure if it can do live broadcasting. If it can, cementman would just turn on the screen&voice broadcasting anytime he is looking at the charts and comment for us while we would watch it and listen to it online and send him questions through any chatroom (he would answer them verbally again - why type when you're speaking into the microphone anyway ). Check http://www.woodiescciclub.com/options/ -- there is archive of such live online classes by MPlay (the Q&As from the audience are only at the end of each session though).

If it can't go live: This is trading on H4 timeframe. I guess cementman just comes to the screen every 4 hours (around a bar close), does a quick analysis, and then either goes back to have some fun again or stays at the screen to pinpoint a good entry/exit on lower TFs. I.e., his activity is not high, and therefore he could just come to the screen, turn the recording on, show us how he does it (screen&voice again), and before leaving the computer, turn the recording off, and quickly upload the video to the internet so that we can download it. Since this wouldn't be real time, the questions could only be answered later.

Then I found this: http://screenplay.huelix.com/
It can do both live broadcast and records but it is not free and we don't want cementman to have to pay for all this stuff.

For the people who asked the same questions or still have it in there minds here and any where else about my drowdowns average wins and profit factor and all these kind of questions please read the following..here is an answer that i answered another member in another forum who asked the same questions

"Thank you for your contribution X-Master and to answer your questions,

1-there is maximal drawdown wich is the money you were down from your initial capital and didn't exceed 5% and there is relative drawdown wich is the money you were down from your initial capital + profits at a point of time and this could go all the way to 10-15% but generaly as i said in my first post i don't allow my self to lose more than 5% in a day and 10% in a week and 15% in a whole month and thank God it never happened at least in the few past years maybe in the beginning of my career when i didn't have a certain plan..so if i had a loss more than 5% in a day i stop and the same for the week and month and go do something else until my mind is clear and also if it went the other way..i mean if i already made my 100 pips target or my money target for the day or week i stop also..but some times i leave a position or 2 running and trail them but only after i secure my target so it go both ways if you know what i mean i have a plan for wining and losing and the most important thing in trading is to have a plan and write it down so you could commit your self to it..to make a long story short i only had one losing month and it was about 2% in the past years and that was during some circumstances that i only traded few days and i didn't trade the full month to end up a winer also i'm sorry i don't trade metatrader platforms unles its one of my clients and i have to..but i do my analysis on it,so thats why i don't have the statistics that shows up in the metatrader like drawdowns and profit factor i'm answering you honestly only from my memory.

2-My average succes was from 5% up to 40% in my personal account monthly..but some of the people i trade for sometimes ask for more aggressive trading so i open it up a little and i do a lot better percentage and i mean a lot i have statements that went from 300,000 to 1,200,000 but in the futures market and that was during my job as a trader in the company i've talked about in my first post..and i have other things to do sometimes i'm teaching people some time i'm studying my self or as i told you i spent a month at the states taking a trading course and i might travel again to apply for series 3 license or working in a company , so all of that sometimes keep me from trading my personal account and sometimes i'm trading for people or giving advice and recommendatios like now ..but most of all sometimes i don't feel like trading or i'm in a bad mode and let me tell you something that my mentor once told me if you had a fight with your mother in law or you had an accedent or a bad traffic day even..just don't trade most probably you'll lose, trading needs focus i for myself have a trading din and i keep a bed in it and no body is allowed to enter or disturbe until i walk out even my phone is switched off most of the time..please try my advices it will help you a lot in your trading these advices i payed money for.

3- As for the profit factor i don't have a statement like the one in metatrader that shows a number like 3.2 or 2.1 but i can tell you roughly from the memory also i have 2-3 losing ones every 10 so you figure it out i'm not saying that to tell you that i'm good but as i said also in the first post i don't rush the trade to happen if every thing doesn't look perfect i just walk a way from the screen but i never twist it just to trade, and thats why sometimes a few good trends skip away from me but i never regret it caz to miss a trade is a lot better than to jump in a losing one like releasing 1000 criminals is better than to send one inocent to jail..see thats a part of the style, fighting your human nature its phsycology and there is a lot of good books on that subject but its a shame that most of people don't read they only want to know a system and to make money fast but what they don't know that these subjects like money and risk management and phsycology is 80% of your succes and the trading system is 20% and even that depend on the trader by 10% at least so thats why you give the same system to 2 traders one of them will blow his account in a month and the other will come thanking you because he became a millionair after a year or so..not only one could be a trader thats why when you work for a reputable company and they put you in assesment center they study every thing about you,your IQ your handling to problems under pressure and a lot of stuff and when you're done you'll find that a lot of the people you thought you were sure that they'll get the job is back in the street and you succeeded.

I know i write a lot but i want to pass my experiences to the people caz i see a lot of wrong thoughts and there is no one to say guys stop this is not the right way i hope that more and more people read this and one day say that a guy called....told us that a time ago .

Thanks for your thoughts. What books do you recommend on psychology? I read Mark Douglas...

As far as the software... 1.2 MB per 20 seconds is not bad; however if the software has a feature to compress the video without substantial loss in quality, it wouldn't be bad also
Other than that, if you're comfortable with it, I'll try to take care of webhosting where we could store the files OR through where we would broadcast, if possible. Or if anybody has good access to any good webhosting service, please let me know. Then we'll get moving.
Plain text chatroom can be set up anywhere, there's dozens of services... I'll pick one as our last and easiest step.

See you tomorrow

Thanks cementman... please take a look at the software whenever you have time and energy

Also I have next question. I would like to have a simple setup on which I could excercise my discipline. As a matter of fact, I think it is Mark Douglas who recommends it. It should be reeeealy simple with as little judgement as possible. However, I think it would be bad if it didn't have any judgement at all. It should be profitable (I don't care how much or little) or it could be something that doesn't make money or lose money -- with the equity curve oscillating around the initial deposit level with as little drawdown as possible. And it should be robust -- a setup for multiple pairs or maybe even other things like stocks or futures.
I don't want to work on it very much. I would just do a quick backtest to see if it's give or take working and then I would go live -- not to make money, not to lose money, but to excercise my discipline and observing the market when there's my money at stake. Meanwhile, I would be demo trading the more advanced strategies that I've been working on and that are harder to trade and more judgmental.
When I see I've become disciplined at trading the simple setup and, at the same time, when I feel confident going live with the advanced techniques, I'll stop trading the simple one and start trading live the advanced ones.

Do you think this is a good approach? What simple setup would you recommend to me? Of course, I like SimbaSystem but that's already an advanced thing, IMHO. For now, I need something even simpler with the very basic indicators or patterns like CCI, RSI, MA, Bollinger Bands, trendlines, supports, resistances, or any other basics. You say there's many profitable setups available... I know that but most of them look overfitted to me and not profitable in the long run on multiple markets. So I need a hint. Do you think it could be the daily Fozzy Method? Or do you think that I can pick anything from the Stock Market Wizards book you mentioned? Or do you recommend anything else? I don't care what it is, just give me one and I'll go do my excercise

Give me any car. One that's easy to drive, easy to park. It doesn't matter that I'll have the slowest car in the city, I just want to go out to real traffic first time in my live, to excercise usage of the clutch, stick shift, steering wheel ... and to excercise the traffic rules. I just want to excercise and return home safely. THEN I might get some faster wheels but not until then.

Thanks
