dude, i'm not whining. i'm just pointing out the flawed logic of your example. if you think you can scalp with same sized winners and losers, and only hit 60% and think that's a good return, good luck to you. i obviously disagree. (oh, and another thing about your 'size' scalping, you're...

.015/share ROUND TURN dude. and yes, you can get better, but .0075 is still considered a pretty good rate isn't it? (considering firms like Bright only hand it out to their highest volume traders)

i wonder if this thread will flop like most other sequels? (geez rs (what does that stand for anyway?), you remind me of one of those washed out singers still touring 40 years after they were a hit, trying to relive their heyday :))

$750 per trade? so for a 10c win you'd need 7500 shares? how many stocks can you do that on? (i don't know, i'm not that skilled to time it so good that i'll get my shares, not move the price (much) and still get follow through on direction. but i guess some guys can do it) your example...

I don't use high tech bullshit like a lot of the traders on here use, therefore no "market data software." My trading is pretty basic and primitive. market data is hardly "high tech bullshit". you get your price from SOMEWHERE don't you? (or maybe you're so good that you don't need live...

Quote from AAAintheBeltway: I have a lot of time for Larry Kudlow. This guy was on top of the world, crashed and burned in the most embarrassing way possible, yet had the balls to pull himself back up. He was an early supplysider and has fought the good fight for 20 plus years. If he's...

if i'd never gotten into trading, i certainly would have been. :( the trading quest has left me with a huge yearning. will i ever fulfill it? oh gawd.. i shudder to think i won't..

how is that an oxymoron?

to play a rearden: saving private ryan -- apart from the opening scenes, this movie is a total joke. crouching tiger -- what exactly was the point of this laughable screen play? strip away the make up (which reduces to corny dialogue, cornier story) and your left with an average (if...

oh man, don't say that! :( i hope it's just cos you're a bad tape reader! (no offence) i can't afford to let go of the idea that tape reading at a skilled enough level could reach 70%. what kind of losses do you have in mind? apart from the thick, heavy volume pigs that 30c ranges all...

lol. and gore was just mr visibility!

cos i hold you to a higher standard than the other rabble! :D i took your saying that trane "nailed it" to mean that you consider his selections as the last word on what the great movies were. (otherwise, what exactly did he "nail"? YOUR favorites too?) you mean you haven't seen my 80s...

lobster, there are opportunities right now. right now it's still possible to be pulling in BIG bucks day trading. i don't happen to think it's particularly probable, but a way could be found to do it, no doubt about that at all. but i really doubt whether the ones doing it are people that...

if you're paying the same per share rate, then commissions impact just as much. unless you have a commission cap.

that was a nice film. what ruined for me was when hoffman threw the diamonds into the sewer. i mean come on! sure, i can buy hoffman as a principled tree hugger, but it's just too much of a stretch for me to accept anyone just dumping that much $$...

what? LOL the definitive word in movies? gimme a break. i can understand someone else such a blunder, but YOU rs7? how in the world could you EVER come to a consensus on something like that? personally, i would immediately delete: spartacus (better then Ben Hur?), space odyssey...

ebay wasn't your typical "internet stock" (it actually has earnings -- what a concept!). but i just couldn't justify a 100pe on it. no way. it's had its moment in the sun. maybe if we'd never heard of it before, if it was breaking out on volume, if the general market was at least mildly...

i'm liking the pakistani market right now. you might not have thought so (given the geopolitical tensions in the region), but pakistan was in raging bull mode last year. pakistan chart wouldn't mind buying this pullback...

i didn't say inflation wasn't occurring, i said it's not at remotely a high enough level to become a concern. (stagflation requires HIGH inflation, not just SOME inflation) since that article was written the 'all items' CPI has risen 4% (dec00-dec02, using the bureau of labor's statistics)...

i don't think you'll find too many people worrying about inflation right now..
