    Trailing Stops

    I don't use trailing stops anymore, I just use regular stops instead. In most cases I set the stop a little lower than some important technical point such as a 50MA, 10MA, ATR or whatever else it may be.

    One trader's story, with returns history

    Can you please be more specific about the day job that you have? You obviously must have a lot of free time to trade during your day job to have those kinds of returns?

    relocation from U.S. to U.K.

    Heh, yeah. But it's where I was born and where I spent a good chunk of my life. It's the only place where I feel very comfortable and completely free and you can't put a price on that. Not to mention the fact that I can live very comfortably on $600-800 a month, which is perfect for a trader.

    relocation from U.S. to U.K.

    How to convince wife to let me trade full time?

    I'm sorry, but this guy deserved what he got. Making $750k a year and only $500k in savings? There's obviously some very very bad money management going on. He said himself that he didn't care what anything cost he just put in the cart. And the $30k a year private school tuition? That's...

    anyone see this movie on trading yet?

    So a bunch of Joe Investors got their asses handed to them in the market and they made a movie about them crying about it? It's not really a secret that Sirius "investors" are some of the dumbest people on this planet, you don't have to go far, just look at the Yahoo message board. This is...

    Please comment on my day trading plan

    Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. I don't think I've ever met anyone that was successful trading based on volume and news.
