atp pro sucks, but unfortunately i have been using it for a few years now. thanks for registering an official complaint. i made it a point to never download the updates, but unfortunately i did by accident last week and my system has been regularly freezing since then. If fidelity would...

yeah, it kinda sucks, i've asked before, but no one seems to want to give away their amazing strategies for fear that goldman sachs will steal them. i tried starting a best/worst trades of the day thread that could at least be a little more educational but no one posts on it. maybe if you...

new to this put perhaps: s/palm jpm/wfc

would be interested to hear some best trades today as there was a lot of great moves. Worst: jumped into citi short at the open got out for 11 cent loss then watched it tank. likewise got into csco since it looked strong, got out at its low, then watched as it shot up .30. Best: a few...

Waited for the Treasury Auction and bought 2000 TBT at 59.10 as soon as it made its first strong move after the auction. Sold at 59.50, bought again at 59.10 and sold again at 59.50. I guess it was a little stupid because I wasn't watching the actual yields, but it worked until the bond...

A new thread where traders can post their best trade of the day, if they had one, entry/exit points, and any other relevant information. Feel free to post your worst trade too.

He just got done telling you he made over 300k last year in spy options, just because a trader is having a bad week/month/year does not mean he does not have an edge somewhere buried in his trading skills. My guess as to what you call his "lost edge" is that he has a slight bearish bias and...

As a trader who loses a lot, it is important to remember to not let the amount you are down change your strategy (unless it is to make you more conservative). It seems when I am down, I lose all patience, do not wait for perfect entry points (like perhaps your CME trade today), but when I am...

i actually think bac has a decent shot to hit above 25 in the coming year in a best case scenario for the u.s./world economies (v turnaround, housing bottoms and starts to rise, financials take advantage of advantageous borrowing conditions). especially if toxic debt is dealt with, bac picked...

ok day saved a bad week. could have been the day i've been waiting for for awhile, but, alas i got out of my longs early. once bac didn't break 8.3 and gs didn't continue its downmove past 118 it seemed like a nice financial rally was in the works. so i bought 50 apr. 12.50 puts on faz at...

neke, first, congrats on the baby, good luck on the year, and thanks for taking the time to post and help other traders. i noticed in one of your posts you said you used ameritrade. Do you like it for basic stock and options trading? Do you watch a lot of graphs and does it freeze ever...

Been watching TBT for about a week and can't really tell if it leads or lags the market or if there is a correlation somehow. I know it trades according to yields on T-Bills which i guess is a measure of the fear in the financial system in some way, but for instance, did the sharp move down...

+1000, found today a little difficult to predict, except the moves from 1:40-2:15 which saved my -2000 day.

had my worst day, by far, yesterday (-11840) despite calling the final fall of BAC with 60,000 shares, unfortunately got shaken out after a quick .07 up move, then stopped trading and saw that in the last hour it dropped .70 from where i got out. Bounced back a little today (+4380), called...
