Most of us predict, but it's the trade management afterwards that really matters. A 50/50 win rate can be extremely profitable if your wins are 2-3 times your losses.

Good week overall... +5500 +500 +1700 +3800 -500

Journals are your friend.

Always assume on filing an extension if you are with a prop like Assent. I've had to every year for a while now. They will probably get it to you in the June-Aug months.

Tough end to a tough week. -3100 -1000 +6200 -5500

Another good week... +6300 +500 +1400 +200 +1300

"Don't trade what you can't afford to lose." "The less you are afraid to lose, the more you will make." Both true, and neither apply to you. This is really a terrible idea with the pressure you exhibit. Papertrade or trade tiny lots until you can make $. Like a previous trader...

There are some strategies that can be affected by liquidity issues, and there are others that are not. For 4 years I had an automated system that I had to keep quiet, and it was like an ATM until NYSE started making changes last year. Now I trade another even more profitable system that could...

nice trade....LCAV is a similar setup.

OK I'm out for a buck, good luck on your short.

I'm long, 40.50 stop. Could run all day.

Just get the S7, it's not that hard. It will open up your options. Any firm willing to give you the kind of deal you want probably isn't very stable.

Great week! +4300 -1900 +2100 +6400 +3100

Ugly today but the rest of the week was good. M: 1640 T: 985 W: Day off TH: 2675 F: -3200

Can't say I agree with that...care to expand? Are you applying this to equities?

If anyone wants to follow along, here were my closed trades today. GILD should have been a winner, I screwed that up. Otherwise it was a good day. Keep in mind the Price columns are average prices. MBI was unrelated to this strategy.

ARRRGGGG! I can't load anything over a 6 min chart right now. Sad to see what used to be the best in the biz go to crap.

In my opinion it does affect results significantly, especially the way Rich is trading only long. Overall I'm about 50/50 long/short which I prefer.

There's a million ways to trade these things, really it comes down to whatever makes you comfortable. I was trading all the same stocks as you today and ended up $1k, so today you win :D I'm taking tomorrow off, but am interested in following your plays. I'm sure there's something we can...

Yes 10am est. Anything that gapped on decent volume has the ability to move later in the day. NTRI was going to break one way or the other, and the chart looked so weak that the short side seemed pretty good. Just start with a small test position and add quickly when it turns out you are...
