    Recommendations for 6 screen computer system? DigitalTigers or Naplestech reviews?

    Yeah, I have been stoked about my Macbook Pro running the XP OS BUT it needs the extra monitor. I had thought of picking up one of the Maxtrox multi-monitor adapters but not sure how well such work or if my viddie card is sufficient. Also, whilst it has been running well enough, I get the blue...

    Recommendations for 6 screen computer system? DigitalTigers or Naplestech reviews?

    For someone that is fairly inept (and lazy) at putting together systems beyond plugging in the VGA/DVI cords, what is a good route to pick up a system that will work efficiently as well as be exceptionally kind to the eyes? If it helps in the advice, I run 36 Esignal charts of different time...

    Trader P/L 2010

    $2100 on 41k shares, 22k of which were on PEP which continued to bounce off of 67. Beautiful stress-free Pepsi scalps shorting just under 67 all day (same as last Thursday)and whilst I may not have gotten the larger moves with real size, it has been a gift to see such a staunch seller hangin'...

    PEP showing strong resistance at 67

    I noticed it after PEP bounced off of 67 a few times on the 23rd and 24th and shorted it there on the 25th a few times for small scalps and small size for the bigger move (it bounced off of 67 30+ times on the minute chart on the 25th). So far today, it is still showing to be a good place to...

    Well, you may be able to narrow it down to 100k pairs as there probably isn't too much correlation between ADBE and ABT except that they kinda follow the SPX (and even that, ADBE much more closely follows the Qs). Totally man, if one can't build what sounds like your gargantuan beast of a...

    Pair Trading Strategy Journal

    In the case that you are like me and equally incapable at C++ and Malayalam, this other site has helped me immensely in finding pairs http://finviz.com/screener.ashx If you will be considering fundamentals at all, it is great as you can plug in all sorts of variables like perhaps relatively low...

    Hey there Raj the omniscient, try whichever one works best for you http://clearstation.etrade.com/cgi-bin/Itechnicals or as you requested http://biz.yahoo.com/p/s_conameu.html which I arrived at by pulling a stock, CVX>>profile(left column, halfway down)>>BASIC MATERIALS(under...

    Trader P/L 2010

    One strat OK and the other, riddled with too many opinions, thus not enough objective reality. I probably will take a wee break from P/L posts as i noticed it creeping into my mind late in the day and I am challenged enough without adding something else to obscure my already 20 140...

    Never add to a losing position?

    Great point, BillyBob the piker guy!! If doing overnights with spreads, I would not be able to sleep without having the risk spread out as wafer thin as possible whilst somehow simultaneously avoiding the exorbitant haircut on the crazy capital required to finance these great quantities of...

    Never add to a losing position?

    Hey bro, I was thinking you may have been referring to one of the index ETFs as they are the easiest form of diversification you can easily(and inexpensively) get into and out of (as opposed to similar mutual funds). However, as there is much more in the trading world that i don't know than i...

    Never add to a losing position?

    Okiedoke brother V, it seemed as if the thread had degenerated into a debate over IF you should add to a losing position. My bad:) If you don't mind, though, what would be an example of a diversified instrument and would said instrument be hedged against systemic risk? Regarding hedge fund...

    Never add to a losing position?

    I am just talking from an intraday perspective but the probabilities are good on well correlated/cointegrated spreads coming back in from one ATR. If it goes out to 2.5 ATRs before 2 on no news and without volume indicating a gigantenormous institutional order, there is a great likelihood that...

    Trading in The Moment

    Truly beautiful piece, Mister Joe, but I just want to dissect it a little as I am seeing it from a perspective that says it should be in the "Psychology" or maybe even "Religion" forum. Anyway, from a Buddhist perspective, IMHO, it is impossible to be truly IN THE MOMENT and trade because we...

    Never add to a losing position?

    It would freak me out to add to a news engendered ripping trend fade but adding to losing positions in some RTM strats is not unusual if there is no wack news, aberrant volume or anything other than "business as usual" for that stock/spread.

    Trader P/L 2010

    Ignored MOST of the inner whispers (or yells) that were throwing in the countless reasons why "this time is different and you need to just hold it a bit longer. Really, you'll see that you didn't need to stop out, i mean yesterday's high is just a couple more cents, why not short a bit more...
