Is this for real? I first heard of this on drudereport.com this morning. I then saw it on all the major news portals (yahoo etc,) but now its gone from all the major sites. How can this possibly be real?

I try to risk .5% to 1% of my total equity on a trade. I also cap my position in any particular stock to no more then 20% of equity. That means that if I am at maximum money in, if I lose 20% overnight, I only really lost 20% of 20%, which is just 4% of total equity. Losing 4% is huge...

nitro, Check out mythtv.org Its a homebrew version of tivo that allows you to network easily. Now that my wedding is over, I am going to get a 120 gig hard drive and build one, if I am allowed :)

You need to setup your route table. I suggest you do a route print in dos shell. Follow this with some route adds to route all traffic destined for the brokerage server through the dedicated connection. Default route should still be out to the internet

Pullback since friday hurt me. Put on a trade in MXO at 1% risk which stopped out. I am now keeping at 0.5% risk until I am 5%. Sold out of MO at >2x risk. Still in RGLD, and SCMR. KR is my stock, picked that up yesterday. Unit value is now $9.99, I blame the large loss in MXO for...

I am risking 0.5% on a trade. Thats $10. If I am good, I should be able to grow the account. If I am bad, well then the account will shrink. Risking 10% on a trade is ridiculous, and exactly why you are failing. Would you risk 10% of all the money you had on a coin toss?

over the long haul this will burn your ass. Since the 1970s that strategy has returned an unbelievable return if you do the opposite :) . A 1 day moving average crossover system is the most successful of the MA Xovers.

Still in SCMR, MO and now RGLD. Acct value is at 2305, unit value 10.17. New high watermark. Strategy: 1. Identify Major trend. 2. Buy(sell) pullback from trend. 3. move stop to breakeven at 1x risk 4. sell 50% at 2x risk. 5. Let other 50% run.

starting to use investclub.com software to track my swingtrading... So lets start this up again, starting from jan 1, my "Personal mutual fund" starts at $10 per unit, currently at 10.17. I had a bad time in jan, but I have battled back. Acct value is now at about $2300, highest since I...

I have been playing with http://www.investclub.com Free, and it seems to be able to do most of what you want. I have setup a club of one member- me. Cool graphs and reporting tools, you can immediately see what positions you have open, both long and short, plus you can filter performance by...

Its both... after 50mins of poses and breathing, you spend about 10 mins mediating. Its a great release.

I find yoga very calming

Have you studied hurst and cycle analysis? Checkout http://www.theuptrend.com . Attached is the current "panic zone chart" for s&p500.... it is another tool for knowing when the herd is getting too excited in one direction.

Sometimes I wonder if it might be a good idea to hire someone to be your risk manager... reviewing all your trades and making noise if you go outside of your well defined risk profile.

no they don't. You might have to clone your mac address in the router to make them happy.

dudes... you need to put both computers in the same work group. Then shared drives can be seen by each other. Also turn off zone alarm, black ice defender etc until you get this working. I just picked up a SMC 80211.b router for $80 CAD ($50 USD). Works fantastic

I have used this... it rocks: http://www.rendersoftware.com/products/camstudio/index.htm

centrino is just wi-fi. Do you use IB? If you swing trade, you can use their mobile trading platform (WAP based, through your wap browser on your cellphone). On IBs site they have picture of people trading on top of mountains thru their wap enabled phones.
