    Making my use of stops more methodical and effective

    I really got a kick out of the "spoof". From the viewpoint of a "market order trader" it was really funny. All market entries or reverses give up the spread as the price of having great timing and being in the fast lane. Also, I do not use stops since I trade on the "right side" of the...

    Vote in Poll Is the rally now over?

    Im glad to see you are keeping the conversation going in this thread. If you do not get a lot of votes there are reasons. Most have to do with the limited choices. You apparently have a market bias and that precluded putting up a fill range of choices. For quite a while there has been...

    Life after trading - busted traders

    Yes. Some of it is on file with the SEC. Check the "insider trading" category. All their citations were rescinded. When people post their trading, others do not believe it. Once prints are posted, viewers determine they are "photoshopped. Nitro taught me this. Then people want to...

    Position sizing

    There are several aspects of trading that come into play for position sizing. The market's capacity varies over the day. What I use to check this is the number of partial fills that comprise an execution. I feel most comfortable with under 8. The time lapse of the filling, I like to see...

    The Credit Crisis Financial Stocks Short Journal

    I think Tiger came up with a very good idea. He hits the balls less often since that is what is entered on the score card. He works much less harder than other players. For a while, I thought he had bigger balls that just went farther. From what I can see he plays in the middle, goes last...
