What makes you want to be long AAPL right now? Just asking because I look at the chart right now & don't have a clue, but I sort of suck at trading. :) The only thing I see that means anything to me is the big reversal/engulfing bar that formed on Tuesday morning. The low of that bar...

That is just depressing to read. :) If you actually made it as a trader & accumulated some wealth you should be proud of what you did. It's just human nature to say I'd rather have become this or lived there or done that. So if you actually made it as a trader just accept it & be at peace...

I was trying to figure out your reasons for this trade, so here's what I came up with. This was all easiest to see using a range chart. Am I anywhere close? Price made an overnight low of 1371.75. Then after market open, even with all of the volume kicking in, it only got down to...

Thank you also ! All I can do is laugh at my math skills tonight. I'm completely exhausted, so the brain isn't working well. :) I sent the broker an e-mail to get the commissions lowered, so we'll see what happens.

Thanks for correcting my math. :) 6 trades was 6 round trips trading CL - Oil. I didn't understand exactly what you were saying............is $5.64 the "all-in" price? Is $2.82 (price per side) the number I want to compare to other brokers? Thanks.

When a futures broker says they'll match or beat any published commission what exactly does that "commission" include? My statement says: Total Commissions & Fees: $33.84 Exchange: $17.40 NFA: $0.24 Clearing: $6.00 CQG Trf: $1.20 Commission: $9.00 So if I take 6 trades &...

You could have something there, but even on the bigger timeframes I still find it difficult to get those 3:1 trades. Maybe something I need to look at a little closer.

Don't you think, at least for a new trader, that a 1:1 could work just as good as a 3:1? Over many trades the 1:1 trader will have a better winning % than the 3:1 trader. The 3:1 trader will have a better win/loss ratio. Price chops around so much sometimes that 3:1 is tough to get...

As far as, " Stick to winners at least 3x the average loss or you wont make it far.", won't that destroy you if you get a choppy day or a choppy week even? It seems like you would need to recognize the conditions & maybe go for 1x loss, or 2x loss at certain times. If price looks like it's...

I've done way too much computer shopping today, and still not sure what I'm looking for. I want to stay under $500, so I found a this one on the Dell Outlet site: How's this one? Inspiron 620 I5-2320 Processor 6 GB Ram 500 GB SATA 7200 RPM HD $469 new or $439 refurbished...

Please excuse my possibly dumb questions, but is there any really good reason to get a desktop instead of a laptop? I've never owned a laptop so that's why I'm asking...........don't know much about them. I was looking at this laptop on sale at Staples for $550...

Is the refurbished one a good idea? Isn't the hard drive too small........250 GB? I need to get up-to-date on my computer knowledge. :)

What about one of these Inspiron desktops from Dell? This one is $449 new on the outlet. You've kind of scared me away from Gateway. Processor Processor: Intel Core i3-2120 Processor (3.3GHz,3MB Cache) Operating System Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium Base Inspiron Desktop 620 Hard...

I don't think I need an I7 as I didn't really have a problem with my old computer with the following specs: PROCESSOR: Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 1.86 GHz Link MOTHERBOARD: Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 Link VIDEO CARD: PNY Nvidia GeForce 7600GT Link MEMORY: OCZ PC2 6400 Gold Edition XTC - 2GB's...

My computer died, so I'm looking for a new one. I don't think I need anything fancy. Not really into gaming. Just trading, spreadsheets, internet, watch the occasional movie. This one is on sale for $489. Not sure if it's good or not for my purposes...

But I think if you do your homework at night you should have some kind of idea what "may" happen the next day. You still have to react to what happens, otherwise you'll end up sitting in a losing trade because of what you "think" rather than getting out because of what is "actually" happening...

Predicting what the market will do is a good idea in my opinion...........much easier to make short-term predictions though.........which is really all a daytrader needs.

It's obvious that price stopped going down & started going up.
