    China revaluation

    Using a currency revaluation alone is very hard to slow down an economy *unless* it's coupled with changes in tax laws and import/export duties. Without knowing those other changes one cannot make an informed judgment.

    Whatever Happened to Timber Hill?

    Def, Sorry if you took it seriously, but I was REALLY just joking man. I think IB and TMBR do a damn good job. Us traders are just havin' some fun. People ususlly just give themselves credit when a trade goes their way and of course try to blame TMBR or the exchange when it doesn't...

    Whatever Happened to Timber Hill?

    Maybe if we extend this logic here a bit, if you get a fill from TMBR, exit immediately or reverse position because most likely you're on the wrong side of the market.:p

    Whatever Happened to Timber Hill?

    TMBR is still filling orders, just not yours. It probably means you're improving as a trader and so they programmed their system to only take the other side of your order as a last resort:D

    Questions from a Newb

    Better yet why not just ask the penny brokers' phone #'s. I hear a few of them are really nice guys and they'll even wire the money to your bank account. Of course, you have to request it! First though, you have to read "A Fool and His Money Will Soon Depart". Its a must have. The...

    50/125 SMA cross for low-priced stocks

    The problem with this analysis is that you're not accounting for the many that DID cross the mov avg and yet failed to proceed and would have caused you losses. I believe there's an appropriate description of this oversight but it escapes me at the moment. It's kind of like saying...you...

    When to call it quits as a trader

    Seems to me you're doing the right thing. Right now, the way I see it, the trading scene just has too many wanna-be 20 year olds with $5K and many others who've been around the block a few times but are fighting each other for nickle and dime scraps. Not a pretty picture. The number of marginal...

    Man, I tell 'ya, just when you thought you'd seen all the tricks in the book, a new one just pops out to net yet more little fishes into the net. 'Seems this ocean is just full of them suckers, don't it?

    My View of S&P Market for Monday, 6 October, 2003

    What's your point? Are you long? short? If not, where/when. If you have a position, state your stop or reversal. Otherwise, I don't see the point in your posts.

    Doug's Little Stocks

    Do you optimize the individual parameters for each stock traded? If not do you then apply the exact same system across all the stocks in your "trading portfolio"? I imagine what gives this strategy an edge is the fact that you hold overnight, would that be fair to say? Or would you still...

    Can't get filled on Short side ETF

    This is actually a common occurrence in lower volume etf's. You may just have to find another strategy or backup solution to counter this problem if you really need to short these instruments.

    Stock trading getting worse

    It's mainly the "smart" newbies and the rest are vendors in one form or another. There's people here whose agenda is to SELL. Many of the new idiots are gullible enough to buy. I suspect there are people here whose function is just to hype and try to create some liquidity from the suckers...

    finding an edge...simple?

    ...Problem is, MANY systems that were great in the last 6 years have recently been hit hard and blown out due to lack of follow-through.

    Good luck if you think you can pick the pockets of these Amex guys thru REIT's.

    Why actively trade ETFs?

    Deron, Your last post had been a month ago. 'Sure get the impression you're like one of those people who once in a while hit the jackpot at the local casino and tell all their friends about it. Unfortunately those same people quietly piss it all away and more hoping for their "volume...
