well as your indicators told you that earnings would not be good, i'm sure you made a ton of money shorting it. on a serious note this stings for a few reasons. I had a profit which I did not take this afternoon and was one click away from selling above 130. also because I posted it here...

ok

There is no one size fits all, I worked at a place that didn't require any capital besides for a 500 dollar one week training course. 200 a month software fee which came out of profits... They did have very good technology though. An average trader will end up paying about a dollar per thousand...

No I don't know of any. Can you explain me the basics of recognizing whether or not the large order is legitimate. When I was scalping I would see huge orders dissapearing, switching sides... Are you using indicators, or do you just feel it?

no i am not, and that is why i don't backtest, i don't know programming, I never took statistics... i just trade, maybe beginners luck, maybe not. buy low sell high, sell high cover low. a strategy this simple doesn't need to be backtested it's an axiom of the market. there is no telling...

“I’m jumping up and down and telling my dad to buy it,” Hintz said of Goldman Sachs’s stock. http://noir.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aUuUmm_02YAw&pos=2 somebody please keep me posted once gs passes $170.

ya it's hard to accept at first, you'll get used to it.

haters: whatever it is that everybody starts to use and becomes very popular, i.e indicators which have worked but stop to like ema, rsi, stoch, there will be bigger money going against this strategy and getting everyone out of their positions. or for example when EVERYBODY in et was short the...
