Glad to see the posts back! I've had shall we say 'technical difficulties' with my account for the past week and am now able to start trading the Q's again. Think I'll wait for a more pronounced direction before entering again though. (prevent those technical difficulties).

I love these days when the Q's only move one direction, but I hate mornings like this morning when it opens up over a dollar and I wasn't holding it from Monday's close. I was just getting to like the simplicity of shorting the Q's on a daily basis though. Know we may have to think about...

I feel that WCOM should have hit it's bottom this morning but I am concerned that the enormous volume of the day helped support a price that will not hold when the volume tapers off over the next few days. On the other hand, has this stock become a daytraders play toy and the volume will stay...

I think it is worse than most traders can imagine. Not only were there no stops in place ( if they knew what stops are) I know of people who viewed price drops from the hundreds to the teens as buying opportunities and purchased all the way down. Dollar cost averaging is their mantra. I live...

If the price is really moving in a single direction, it seems that you would have to give up picking your price and just jump on board with the market order. By the time you cancel one limit order and enter a new higher one. the market will can you in the dust. I had a similar case with...

Ya' know - sometimes it is good to have someone remind us of the bigger picture. I think you have summed up the current downturn quite well. What company trader, follower of the pack, would dare invest substantial funds in any of the currently falling nasdaq stocks. Results - no bottom here...

Enjoying the posts, also following the QQQ thread. Very Bearish -

So, looking at the attached chart for nasdaq ( above link), exactly how does a person establish the lower line showing supposed short term support? Short term resistance level is obvious, but the lower end seems rather arbitrary. theShadow has been proven to not really know what lurks...

I meant to type 30.65. God I hate when that happens, especially as I type in a trade. A golden rule of on-line trading - Always read what you entered BEFORE confirming with your password. Part B - do not disable the password confirmation process for the sake of speed. ( yes it cost me $...

WEll today I finally worked up the nerve to trade the Q again. I was about to type in my password to confirm a short sell when I realized I had not confirmed a definite down momentum. I keep loosing the first 20 cents of a direction waiting for an indicator to assure me of the direction for...

d'ya think? :D

Just what I needed, MORE advise.:D I believe the advise to exit the loosing Q position was right. I was wrong to have entered without taking the time to view the charting. I was at work, noticed the price and decided to 'take a chance' on a inter day bounce. Won't happen again. I was...

So, being a novice chartist, I'm curious. Just which chart should I believe when looking to find if the Q has really bottomed? Does theShadow REALLY know or was it a lucky guess? A 5day/hourly MACD says we started an uptrend today. A 10day/hourly MACD says we started an uptrend today. A...

So, how did theShadow know?

It is an awesome responsibility for one mere mortal man. I can wash my car to make it rain. Went on vacation and ended the northeast's drought. SOLD MY Q's ON MONDAY AT A LOSS AND TURNED THE WHOLE DAMN MARKET AROUND. I don't know why I go on at this. :confused:
