this strategy is retarted. there are so many factors which can make this not work, the first thing that comes to mind is the institution that posted this huge block of shares on one single penny can remove their order if they are holding back the stock, then they'll just sell later and...

If I were you I would chop them after hours at 153 and change. I don't think you're getting 155 tomorrow at any point during the day. First of all there will be tons of sellers, everybody that loaded up in the 130's. Second it's options expiration tomorrow. My call is GS closes tomorrow below...

when scalping worked, probably 40 rt's if you are very focused all day long, placing orders on every level, reposting on every fill. look at the 1 day chart of qwest between 12-2 and see how mostly every order takes place mid-penny on low volume, those hours are impossible to make money. qwest...

i'm 19 years old, i don't go to school but i do know alot about stocks and trading. so i have a good percent of money for trading, trading anything. like 3x etf's or leveraging out. i'm willing to take risks when the reward is there. at the same time i get out as soon as i feel i'm wrong.

100 shares was just an example, ya that would be rough. i funded my own account with questrade/ib.

real scalping is holding a position for 2 minutes or less on average. you are using a stock which is low priced, has a 1 cent spread between bid/ask. you have the level 2 quotes of the stock your watching as well as the time and sales right in front of you flashing every sale price and quantity...

real scalping is dead. q, s, and c are all scalpable though even in this low volume, quick moving market

nice simile.

If anybody claims to have shorted this stock, please provide a screen shot, or update my possibly expired belief that IPO's are not shortable within their first thirty days. Also, if an IPO is not shortable and it goes below it's opening price does this necessarily mean that insiders or...

wow...borderline plageriasm, maybe I should read the thread before posting, I pretty much just repeated what most of the earlier posters said. anyway, I share the same opinion.

If the stock is trending and you have a clear cut stop, then you could and should be averaging down. But as long as the stock stays within the trend it is safe to take positions until the trend is broken. take a stock that's been between $75-$125 dollars for 6 years straight. If I buy 100...

that is a great short. In my opinion the eur/usd is back to the 24's before it even touches the 28's.

...did some reading, interesting.

yup I play; texas, omaha(hi/lo)... it's true that with experience and skill and at a table with players of all different skill levels you do have an edge. you still need a roll to withstand the times when noobs crack you on the river with their 3 outers. or worse a guy who doesn't even know...

...and if the post was misleading I never had 800 in profits, I had 1050 total.

pocketchange, you're right, my greedy side got the better of me

So it was the weekend and I had a bit too much time on my hands... I hadn't been to the Casino for about 6 months before yesterday and I had no interest whatsoever in going back...until I got this idea. If you are familiar with Sic Bo, skip the next paragraph. In Sic Bo, among other...

I graduated high school 2 years ago, went to college for a year, hated it, left. I got a job driving a truck, doing deliveries around the city for about 10 months. It was ok, I saved some money, but I knew I wasn't going to do it forever, and I was already getting backlash from my parents...

don't use the kitchen table as your trading desk.

I think rim will top analysts expectations. It's true that the smart phone market is extremely competitive, but at the same time the worldwide demand for smart phones' is huge and getting bigger. Apple has a good product, so does motorola, so does rim. I think there is room for all three...
