Thank you.... I agree 100%. Learning also includes learning about one's self. I learned about some critical characteristics about myself, after debriefing or doing a post-mortem on all my trades today. I broke one of my cardinal rules today by trading a stock outside my stable. Although...

Ahh. I see, I understand and will not ask.

Thank you SIRf :)

My pleasure...glad you're enjoying!

Yes I am serious. That's my opinion of course. The specialists, "specialize" in much more than maintaining a fair and orderly market. I don't complain much about obstacles, I just find ways to work around them. When time permits, I'm here. ET replaced my time watching reality shows on TV...

Excellent reply harmonicpatrick. We may be some distance away from the abolition of open outcry but it will take a while. I have very few listed stocks in my trading stable, they're just to aggravating. The Big Board has stonewalled transparency and has failed to conform to the order handling...

Volume has everything to do with TA: 1) Volume dictates price. 2) Volume + urgency= Momentum 3) Momentum is a fuel 4) The best technical setup is worthless in the absence of momentum May the trend be with you...

When Block blew up many of their traders went to Momentum. All-Tech moved prop, ATTN and NOCI to Domestic Securities. They're doing quite well. Harbor is gone, and they recently resurfaced when an alleged Russian mobster put money there. Tradescape and their platform Lightspeed was...

I appreciate your feedback, Candle. Unfortunately, I suppose many ET newcomers make self-serving contributions, and can fit your aptly put description. Sharing my experiences may help some traders here on ET, and perhaps give them food for thought. I'm glad that you enjoy. We're all here to...

Very interesting thread here. I have viewed my entire life as a trend. Thankfully, it has been an uptrend. Higher highs and higher lows. The fear of failure and fear of success are very different yet, they are almost the same. That fear is really a fear of leaving the comfort zone (going higher...

You began an interesting thread. As we all know, trading for a living is something that very few people understand. Frankly, I don't care whether people respect me. Remember, most of the people who don't respect traders, neither know what trading is, nor can they do it. The only place where...

My daily goal is to follow my plan and keep disciplined. I stopped focusing on becoming profitable years ago. My focus is follow my rules, keep the risk reward ratio in my favor, enter the trade, manage it, and exit at the stop or target. I recently applied that way of thinking to my golf...

The opening is perhaps the best time to trade, and is when emotions are at their highest. I trade gaps with smaller exposure, and usually close out a large piece of a swing trade into the frenzy. 80% of the time the opening trend reverses between 9:50 and 10:10amET. Many traders get caught in...

From my experience, nowadays, it works better with larger spread, and or less active Naz stocks. When trading in smaller timeframes, I put bids and offers slightly below and above the inside price, at support and resistance zones respectively. Getting hit through these zones gives me an...

Interesting question. I'm sure it's on the minds of many. Tomorrow will be a very tough day for alot of folks, and perhaps the volume will be light. According to what I have heard, many floor traders attribute the lighter volume this week to the 9/11 "cloud". I don't have a plan for...

I believe this list is updated on a weekly basis... http://www.nasdaqtrader.com/dynamic/SymDir/mrktsym.txt Good luck!

Thanks, Chinook. I see demons as handicaps. I find it difficult and sometimes impossible to eliminate them, but if I acknowledge and respect them, all I do is learn how to work around them. :)

Does that come with a spit cup and a dental assistant?
