Sorry, realized my post read random exit too. I meant random entry and systematic exit.

Why don't some of you system programmers out there write a system with random entry and exit in TS or WL or something and post the results besides spitting out statistics theory that if anything, we all know does not apply to real life situaions. MUChris

Why don't you just take some of your money and trade it, and some of your money and buy and hold something. That way, you can't say what if I did one over the other

Aphie, a suggestion: Take the paper you printed your studies out on and wipe your ass with it, because it's worth shit. Dude, wake up, how many people have to tell you to stop studying and trade. Seriously, just watch the market, get a feel for it. Shit, I can tell by 9:45 if we're in...

I love the way he rides his losers down to shit. He has like 20 losers in his portfolio right now. He must be net negative since he started even with all those wonderful gains. Its not like you're the first person to ever trade CANSLIM, but the way you ride losers, I think you're the worst...

I paid for the check. I later found out some people argued and ended up not shelling out for it. Talk to your Managing Director and see if he will make a call for you.

This gave me the biggest laugh from any post on this board, it doesn't help that a Cybertrader commercial was on CNBC when I read it.

There are only 7 or 8 firms left that employ specialists, a list can be found on the NYSE website, but considering the job market, even if you have that MBA from Harvard:D , its still going to be tough to get noticed by these guys:( . Happy hunting, MUChris

The only thing a man deems impossible to understand is that which he does not yet understand. Sorry, I was feeling a little philosophical. MUChris

22, graduated with a BS in Economics/Business. Worked as a stockbroker through school, and like someone else who posted earlier, I caught a case of the Conscience. Started trading about 3 months ago full time with Worldco.

First of all, I implied WHEN it appreciates. Obviously if it doesn't appreciate, no wealth is created (for those that are long). Second, its not MY "magic," its aphexcoil's. I was NOT implying that everyone makes money in the stock market no matter what. I wish you people would read...

Its called the wealth effect. And not just the stock market, any time you buy an asset that appreciates (stock, bonds, coins, stamps) you are benefitting from that "magic."

Aphexcoil again proves how little he understands about market mechanics. For the stock market to be a zero-sum game there has to be someone short for every long. If you ever read a book on technical analysis you would know about a number called short interest. Short interest is the number of...

Stock trading is not a zero-sum game. Futures trading is a zero-sum game. You have to remember though, after commisions and fees, both often become a minus sum game for all participants. This is b/c with stock there are finite shares so the value can rise and everyone theoretically can all...

Ron, Trading at a prop is basically the same as trading from home with a few differences I can think of: Prop firm expects you to trade volume if you want stuff (good quote services, monitors, etc.) Prop firm give you access to greater leverage than IB stuff In a Prop, you have...
