    Is trusting your gut more important than following your plan?

    My plan makes me good money. My gut makes me obscene money....when it speaks and I listen.

    Be afraid of blogs, be very afraid...

    Why can't you stay on topic? I said the room was free in response to the fallacy that no successful trader would give away his secrets for free. Simply put, thats not true nor is the idea that there are "secrets". So you encountered something else. Okay fine. Apparently you weren't able to...

    No, the reason most failed was because they couldn't follow the plan plain and simple. For whatever reason people always want to complicate things.... make the extra trade, lower thier size at the wrong time, increase their size at the wrong time and so on and so forth. Most just don't have the...

    "make my account double"....Thats a very odd response. I can see why you feel so let down. It probably explains why 90% of the people who where once in our chatroom couldn't make money, even though the other 10% were doing well or even great. What you really want is a money manager, not...

    LOL! If you only have 5K you're broke and shouldn't be trading period. To even ask such a moronic question says a lot about why you're a failed trader. FWIW, I started with 100K as I do each year.

    What if someone had a blog where- they didn't have 100 positions, just 1 or maybe 2 at a time. they posted their size, entries and exits in basically real time. they posted their thesis for each trade and went into great detail about the set ups they played. by following that person...

    This really is starting to feel like 1932

    Probably not actually when you consider all money spent on law enforcement, the legal system, prison, etc. Not to mention the fact that nothing of value to society came out of it. They ought to just legalize the shit or make booze illegal too. The idea that liquor, which is infinitely worse...

    broke/ unemployed and out of options so i signed up for the military.

    econ wizard???...Thats fucking funny. Trust me, if you're for real your no wizard. Just another stupid fucking kid who thinks a degree actually means they're smart. Btw, based on what you've said you'll either get booted out or killed because a failure is a failure plain and simple...

    How much is that degree really worth?

    It's just one mans experience, I know, but the highly successful self-employed people I know never went to college.

    Unemployment extension still undecided as over a million lose benefits!!!

    If I were in charge we would be at full employment within 1 year, because I would give everyone without a job 1 year to get one. Anyone unemployed after that I would have executed. There may just be too many people. Hey, I'm a problem solver what can I say?

    40% of Americans Have Nothing Saved For Retirement.

    They won't be penniless. What they will be is the single largest voting block of all-time. It's not a great time to be 25-35 years old and thinking about how this plays out.

    Finally...I agree with Jim Cramer...Obama needs to focus on jobs...

    Well I know a little about business, as my family has run one for 41 years and counting, and economics too. With that in mind I see nothing short of actually fixing problems that will encourage any meaningful job growth. It's but one example of course, but our business is going great. I mean...

    Finally...I agree with Jim Cramer...Obama needs to focus on jobs...

    Washington cannot create the jobs that are needed. When will people wake up to the fact that Washington is the problem not the solution?

    SEC sets unified stock-halt rule for drops of 10%

    Each time you post you expose yourself more and more as a piker wanabe. Anyone who cares to know whether or not your full of shit can simply google "market makers and 204T" and read the many pdf's from various MM legal depts including the CBOE that come up. Btw it's covered under rule 204a...

    Measuring trade intensity to detect reversals

    Close grasshopper, close...But no cigar for you. The funny thing is the key your looking for is right on your charts too.

    SEC sets unified stock-halt rule for drops of 10%

    I think you're full of BS. For starters 204T exempts firms who provide actual MM activity so your theory makes no sense whatsoever. Ghosts does though and like him I stayed away as did others I trade with for the same reasons-- obviously erroneous bids lead to busted trades and busted trades...

    SEC sets unified stock-halt rule for drops of 10%

    If you weren't such a noob yourself you would know that they intend to halt for ALL moves of 10% in 5 minutes whether up or down. Read, you ignorant ass, R-E-A-D!

    SEC sets unified stock-halt rule for drops of 10%

    If you read the prosposed rule you would see that none of the situations you described fit. It doesn't start until 9:45. The market opens at 9:30 for those of you who don't actually trade, so gap ups and downs wouldn't count. It only effects SP500 stocks so small bios wouldn't count...

    SEC sets unified stock-halt rule for drops of 10%

    Do any of you guys actually trade or are you just career poster's? How many SP500 stocks move 10% in 5 minutes in any given month? Not many thats for damn sure.

    If the odds are 50/50 why do most people lose ?

    Once I realized there are bad, marginal, good and great set ups my trading took off. Avoid the bad and marginal, play the good and hammer the piss out of the great ones. I can make 5x more on a great set up than I'll lose on 5 good ones that don't work because of the increased size. I just...
