    Head and Shoulders violated

    Take a look at the 10 year weekly chart of the SPX. Massive head and shoulders penetrated near the 950 area this summer. We plunged from 1150 to about 750 and then had a rally in August to the 950 area. That's approximately a 50% retracement right to the neckline with a subsequent failure...

    Post your prediction for the Dow!

    I think the Dow retraces all the way back to 1994 levels. Why ? Because that's what we do in post bubble periods. We give back all the gains to where the mayhem began. It all started with the rate cuts back in late '94 to overcome the asian crisis. We aint seen nothing yet

    Overtrading

    Go to a high commission broker. That should take care of your problem. On a more serious note, I think a lot more people are vicitims of overtrading than you think. I sometimes find myself watching the level II too closely and exit on any downtick. At that point I sometimes step back and...

    Help with multiple monitors

    I just added a second monitor to my Win98 setup. For my style of trading, its enough for me. I bought the Radeon 7500 video card from ATI for 130 bucks from Comp USA, installed it in 5 minutes and that was it. I got a second monitor from a family relative and that was that. 130 bucks for a...

    firm a fake?

    From what I know about this company, they gather traders, group them and refer them to Broker Dealers and negotiate a lower commission for the group. I don't believe they are a scam, just pioneers in the industry. Don Bright, you do not need 25k to start. On the contrary I believe this...

    which is best the direct access broker

    lol. Yeah I've seen the new commissions but I still think its because of my dazzling looks. :D How is the platform you are on? I've never looked into it but I would contemplate stepping up to it. I think its about time I call the boys at prophet. Did I lie about those guys being...

    This can't be good for the market

    My feeling is that we have not seen anything close to a bottom yet. Call me a permabear or whatever but I can't see a post bubble period ending this quickly. I see the markets giving back all of its gain from 1994, which in my opinion is where the feds went wrong. They pumped too much...

    QCOM...the next to fall

    Yes I am still short on QCOM. Hopefully it can close near the low today. Looks like flat support in the 25 area with a downsloping trend line, or a descending triangle. A good break of the triangle usually takes place 2/3 the way to the point where the triangle lines converge. It seems like...

    ARCA Listed Routing SUCKS!

    I too am confused about arca exec. on listed stocks. However do think the market is moving faster than we see and that the size has actually been bought but not updated in the quotes? I see time and sales coming up quicker than the quotes sometimes.

    Swing/Position Trades

    My swing on this has a somewhat longer time frame so I am using a little widers stop. If closes near the low today, I think the counter trend rally that its been in the last month could be done. JMO

    Swing/Position Trades

    Liking FLIR here for a short, with a a stop of 46. Countertrend rally over the past couple month hopefully stall near the 20 and 50 ema which are in the 42 area. Longerterm this could be forming a massive head and shoulder top.

    WIll Day Trading ever stop being profitable?

    I can't imagine the sec making it easier with their regulations. They hate daytraders. In my opinion, the markets will be flat and volatility will be low in the later stages of this bear market, which may be 5 to 10 years away. Like someone else on this thread said, there is way to make...
