could you add some text jonnyy. I'm not sure if you support my approach or are against it. I see 469 trades with $1085 gain. To throw my approach at that, is to say that I would only have to make around 2-3 trades (with much larger share lots then the 500ish this chart appeared to average) to...

In the sense that i can take that 500 gain and buy the same things as you, correct. But in trading I would say otherwise. If my 500 gain was from a million dollar+ bond gain and yours was from gambling all of your account at once, it is not. I know those are two extremes, but that is the...

this post is intended for opinions from scalpers; however, i welcome all comments so please distinguish if you are or are not primarily a scalper. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I've read left and right that scalping can be strenuous, hard...

i have been curious for some time now why traders aren't talking about results in percentages. Everything I have read says something along the lines of "the good/professional traders ALWAYS speak in terms of percentages"...I think you should always speak in percentage (perhaps with the addition...

i saw your ebay auction....wouldnt pay $350 for the lot though... would be interested at $200 +S/H drop a PM ~RT

hahaha nice. a chart with prices and some lines... and in case your screen is dusty, you can download and save the same chart to see after you clean it!!

learned 99% of everything I know. of course i'll say the same thing a year from now:D:p hopefully, us day traders dont have memories as short as the time frame we trade!

hmmm. indeed. well i guess no one's really a winner anymore:p

...i click the mouse button EXACTLY 72 times and must complete all trades with only 72 clicks. dont forget you need to set aside 3-5 hours at night to prepare for the morning rituals. cannot be successful otherwise:p

anyone with two-thirds of a brain could have called that... i did a month ago. (and have sometimes been acussed of "it not all there" in the head:D ) see...http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=59622&highlight=Goog funny thing is...it only takes like 10 minutes of...

I am currently (and will be for a while) a very short intradayer...looking at 1min charts...holding for 2minutes - 2hours....so I use around 90-95% of account per trade (usually only have one trade open at a time). So if you want to say I risk that much, then sure, but i find it very hard to...

sounds like people need this zero-sum thing cleared up. In THEORY, the market is a zero sum game. Because all theories have an actual begining and ending. So when the stock market began, and people began placing their money in the stock market (the begining), they are in fact entering a...

I have learned that savings in an IRA (traditional and/or Roth) are "untouchable" by the government. By untouchable, I mean if you are sued or file bankruptcy that the money deposited in your IRA cannot be removed. I am not sure how deep this goes... and i'm not quite sure how you would...

i agree with many of the others...the comparision is not so easy. However, for ths sake of argument, lets say they are comparable. Now that 5.9% is the average of the whole world of (registered) hedge funds. Now lets think of an average for only the profitable ones...i'd guess around 20%...

if i may add to the question....do you have a daily profit target, and if so what is it (percentage or dollar)? RT PS: I strive for 1% profit on my account each day.

sad, but true:( if i had to comment, i would agree with the 25k,25k,75k "plan" if you will. Then again, if you are leaving my assumption is that you can't trade profitably.

quite a thread...which is exactly why i don't trade large stocks on a strong trend like this (short term). Everyone is going every which way with their picks and reasonings that it just muddles the entire picture. Just because its "the hottest" stock doesn't mean I can't make similar or better...

again....where's the enforcer of discipline in this service/product?

the shorter your trading time frame, the more often you should follow the trend and vice a versa. i don't try to anticipate a trend change in intra-day....just wait for one to begin and hop on board.
