Chris, Thanks for the info provided to people's questions so far. Whether people post things here or on sites or whereever doesn't much matter to me. I appreciate the time devoted here thus far as I'm sure many others do. But if we can get the same info on your website, I'm just as happy...

ROFL!! liltrdr..that was most I laughed in a while..too funny.

I got 50% and also wasn't up to par. At least it was better than my trading win rate today..stinkin narrow range days..they are for the birds.<g>

Chris and Qwiktrade, Great information guys. Many of us truly appreciate the sharing of this issue of trading as it is one of trading that fascinates me more than simple buy here sell here trading setups. Chris, videos are excellent and I'm glad to see them consistently being done. It...

Two Trading Mantras that I read daily when I get into this kind of funk. Hope they help. Chris - Confidence. I don't know what the market does next. I don't have to know it. I know how I will react on anything the market does. I am confident in my ability to react right. I have a...

Here is the full book online if you have Acrobat...Reminiscences of a Stock Operator. Truly one of my top 5 books about trading and life in general. http://www.stock-market-seminars.com/downloads/ Chris

I'm with Gordon Gekko and Magna on this one. Livermore: There is no bull or bear side. There is only the right side. More to this point, Cory Johnson from Yahoo Finance tried to put me on the defensive when I was at the Nasdaq last doing a spot with them. I said, we've seen one...

Hey Tony, I think the hotel thing made it hard too. It was a 15 minute drive to get to anyone's hotel, and a few were pretty far from the convention center itself. Even when we met up with you guys after dinner at the hotel lobby bar that first night, it was a hassle to get anywhere unless...

I agree with this wholeheartedly Nicodemus. It's not about this or that way for viewing the "tape". It's understanding what you are seeing in that visual representation that shows how the majority is acting and how the minority should be responding. The tape could almost be a metaphor where...

Welcome, but let us know if it's worth it or not...I'm still kind of a believer in "you get what you pay for" with some of these things and with no personal experience or need for it personally, would like to know if it is something to be able to relay to people or not if they continue to ask...

So depending on what the scanner needs to function given certain parameters, this might not work anyway..this is what you gather?

I was looking around for cheaper solutions for those that want to run Scanners that rely on Realtick feeds. I have no affiliation and have no even used these guys, so no idea about reliability or anything, but it's an option if you wish: http://www.ird.com I think it's 50 bucks a month...

Those books already posted are very good ones to review. Of course, you can always ask questions here and there are plenty of posters here that understand the true reality of tape reading, not just using it as a buzzword to sound smart. Ask questions and they will most certainly weigh in with...

This information wasn't really to describe my trading strategy as it was to illustrate a point of why the tape is faster than the chart, especially on capitulation/euphoric alerts, and also an example of using the tape itself to identify areas of slow and fast movement. As a trading...

Continued... So how can we use this? In aggressive accumulation we are able to identify the beginning areas of stronger moves and add bigger positions as the stock moves in our direction, waiting till the public figures it out and unload our position to them. In passive accumulation, we...

Accumulation/Distribution Tape Principles. This is probably the best case where the tape shows action faster than the chart, but it is up for debate as it's just my personal opinion. Accumulation of a stock is when the volume ratio is leaning more to the sell side, but the price does not...

The chart for me provides the structure, areas of support, resistance both seen and hidden. THe chart by nature is a few minutes late as the data represented by the tape is put up to the chart. Reading it as it happens allows us to do one important thing: Combine the art and science of TA...

Tape Reading is one of the oldest methods of market movement interpretation. Like any other methods applied by market players, it's intended to show "what's behind the ticker". There is no tape itself anymore. It has been replaced by a scrolling Times Of Sales Window and Electronic Tickers...

Before you even start, I'd recommend two books: Reminiscences of a Stock Operator - will teach you about the realism of the market. Trading in the Zone by Douglas- will help to find a mindset that is proper for traders. As for tools, styles, setups, or whatever, everyone will have a...

I just got back from a casino boat from my friend's bachelor party on Saturday night. So much beer was drank, I could barely count my fingers, let alone cards. But I love the analogy and with this being my first time ever playing blackjack at a casino, I was immediately able to see how trading...
