    Thank you for sharing your political and economical viewpoints. They are not only valid but also interesting. The area I often have trouble to believe are statistics throwing out by all sort of parties. As you know numbers could be manipulated by leaving out conditions, intentionally or...

    What is the deleted earlier part of this rant? Would be interest to read. "Wider volatility swings make holding a position for a longer period of days-weeks -a real challenge to one's Risk parameters- because- as they say- the market can remain irrational longer than a trader can remain...

    Hi SD, First I want to applaud to you that you have reported your gains and losses honestly for us, readers, to learn from your successes and mistakes. I also want to apologize for not making myself clear. I did not mean to give you sympathy but empathy for I understood having many small...

    Really feel sorry for your loss and even more for your not knowing why. However I am sure you are not alone. I bet many traders feel the same today, even some gurus. As of me I have found that trading is not easy. I am looking around for a different approach. Found the following link...

    Thank you for charting the price and volume with coordinated color. It is much easier to evaluate. All five charts appear to me need more volumes to push them either higher or lower. None of them indicate obvious direction. They are hanging there. QQQ seems having more momentum. MCD has two...

    *EXPERIENCED DAY TRADERS*how would you recommend starting out as a trader?

    It is unbelievable, I take the same approach, except waiting for 30 minutes and trading with real money. My results so far are close to JoshLowe005's, also with 30K invested. This must be my lucky day to stubmble in this thread. Can't wait to read more posts from J_Smith, Ken Busch, EPrado...

    long term position trading -primarily etf's-

    This is a fast moving, uncertain, and insecure market. Since we do not have the stomach- nor the resources- to sit through a possibly wider market decline, we need to sell into strength whenever it is possible, even the profit is small. It is not easy to trade with small fund. Once we...
