I'd recommend Seanotes journal from a couple of years ago...

BOJ said will end intervention

I love boxing but decisions like that make me wonder why I bother. I'm actually a Shane fan but the verdict was a farce. These fights are supposed to be judged on a combination of clean punches, ring generalship and effective aggression. Oscar was way ahead on two out of the three categories. If...

T - run a search as its come up before - I seem to remember Jem had something interesting to say.

100% agree with Brandon - I've chatted with him via email and he's a good guy - I've also noticed that he often makes a point to tell readers to email him if they don't understand something he's talking about and you can't be fairer than that.

Not a bad idea - ok here is one - DNA - consolidating at 2 year + highs on the daily, volatility contracting, shown good RS & no signs of distribution. Breakout players did try and run it up this morning but it fell back. All that being said I'd be very careful with any longs that are not...

that's cool - thanks Jai

Hey Jai, Don't know whether you'd be willing to do it but it would be useful to see how you used MA on the Qcom trade you posted the other day. It's pretty obvious that the intra day breakout where you first established your position was confirmed by strength of volume but I am sure there is...

Real Tick is far more reliable during market hours whereas I always found Real Tick to be a nightmare when scanning post market. By the way if anyone wants to break their scalping habit there isn't a better way to do it than using QCharts!

100% agree - a public banning of a couple of the worst offenders would put a stop to this.

Seanotes journals are the best thing I've come across on this site. Unfortunately he doesn't post anymore.

I happened to check the link that Nitro posted and did a little bit of searching and came up with this post. http://groups.google.com/groups?q=Lying+for+a+Living+-+Falsehoods+from+Vendorville&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&selm=01bce0c3%24b36c6040%244eda9ad0%40hiyield&rnum=1 It dates back to 1997 but...

It's probably going to take trial and error for you to get a good sense of where these should be. Based on my experiences I'd say 3:1 R:R is a little ambitious intraday. You may want to think about taking partials before then and getting your stops to breakeven. As far as stops are concerned...

Not only is strict money management vital but if you don't already do so I'd recommend starting with as small a size as possible in whatever you are daytrading. Even now if I'm looking at a new setup I'll trade 100 shares or a one lot for the first month and evaluate my progress - if things are...
