I still own it. I have 400 shares, so I am down about $4500. I can handle this loss without knocking me out of the game. As one of the guys said, no one knows what the market or a stock is going to do, at least most don't. A few insiders know what a stock will do for a short time but...

I scalp but am very cautious. You ask what we scalp. Why not tell us what you have been doing, the stock doesn't matter as long as it has the volume. What are you looking to gain, how many shares what time of day etc? What's the size of you account approximately? are you a daytrader or...

Do you still own it? If you don't mind, how many shares? If you still own it, there is a good chance it will recoup some of could be recouped if it bounces a bit during the week. A lot depends on your account size. In other words is this loss going to put you out of trading, or can...

What makes you think this is going to start moving. Volume near doubled, but no direct news, and other than most oil and energy related stocks moved up a bit on Fri. and it's about time for a little bounce. don

Depending on the reason it's dropping I trade them for the bounce. But it can be very risky Don

I don't think you have mentioned how many shares you are buying? Is it the same for each stock? don

You should have added the Catholic Church. Very Very powerful. Not sure why they wield so much power, but they do. don

Steve Tvardek I do, I trade full time so its easy for me to not have to use physical stops. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// I too trade full time and generally one equity at a time. Over time I've learned that if you put a stop market order you have no...

Depends on your style of trading. For me Since I deal with the top 10 or 15 stocks either moving down or up I can't afford to take my attention off the particular stock I pick. I you are trading sector stuff and they start moving in a different direction if would probably be safe to short or...

Paper trading is okay to learn the system and the tools your broker is providing. You can see how many different brokers are listed at this site. IB seems to have the most users, but others see value in using other brokers. I use Cybertrader. If you are going to daytrade you have to use a...

Modafini (sp) and provigil are the same thing. Also it requires a prescription and the cost is normally around $3.00 a pill . I use it but not to enhance trading although it may be unknowingly helping me. don

I voted to stay with one qualification. That is speed. If one of their main purposes is to be buyers when there are none and sellers when there are none or few. I don't see the help they provide it it takes them 30 seconds to make up there mind. They give themselves 30 seconds to see what...

I say stay, but speed it up. If they are supposed to be buyers when a stock is dropping and no one else is there then do it it. What I don't understand is if that is part of their purpose why do they need 30 seconds to make up their minds. If no speed up then I change my vote to go.

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////// timmyz i think you misunderstood me. i was hoping someone would give an example of the "born talent" that's required for trading that's comparable to the examples i gave...

I use CyberTrader and to my knowledge there is no extra charge for hidden orders. Not all ECN's offer hidden orders. I have a question about why you would hide an order of only 176? What were you trying to hide from? What were you trying to accomplish? don

Thunderdog set aside only 25k, which he would allow to compound at the suggested rates of return, that 25k would compound to well over $7 Million after a 5-year period. //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Those figures are so far off it's hard to...

I don't think you can daytrade with only 10,000. Some can do it but if you are new I would not quit my day job. It takes time to gain the experience to be able to be consistent. With only 10K you will be trading with a great deal of fear, and that ain't good. What type of broker are...

As I said there are many ways, but you can be rule safe as far as I know by shorting from the asked priced. As the stock moves up or back up on a dropping stock. As long as you feel that it is going to continue dropping, short on the asked rather than the bid, unless you are fast and there...

The guys have given you a lot of good suggestions, let me add three more. 1. You can get glasses especially made for computers that might help solve your problem. 2. Try different fonts as well as font sizes, most programs allow you the option to change whatever the default you are now...
