Thug, let us know if he has a subscription service. I would like to subscribe, but only if he rules the freaking future with monster mashing cachingos by shortboy:D xstek

I don't know. How about someone here, give me a salary of over 1m so I can find out:D xstek

Let me understand, Mr. G is calling shorts in a Big Bad Bear, (whether they are questionable or not I don't know) and people pay him for this.:confused: Newbies, please read Elder, every other book on trading psychology that you can get your hands on. Then learn to trade for yourselves:D ps...

Mr. Bright, outstanding observation. So many are looking for the Holy Grail of trading, that they don't realize that the Grail sits between every traders ears :cool: To be a successful trader one MUST understand the basics. Back in the roaring 90's, I even knew people that, according to them...

"My thought is basically if you have conviction about the trade, don't sweat the penny (pennies). Why miss a trade with an unfilled limit order when a market order would have given you the certain fill?" I would like to thank Mr. Bright and rs7 for your comments. rs7 your comments regarding a...

According to PointDirex, they will be adding arca and inca to their bookviewer feature in the platinum platform. Bookviewer allows me to see only ECN's. Makes it easier to follow. Hopefully this will add some more liquidity to the listed stocks. xstek
