Great day. Caught some early upside action on RHAT and NGAS before it nosedived. Solid up on reversal of market at 11:45 EST. Good day/Bad week - but I am fighting back into the black!!!

Go and get (or check out) "The Master Swing Trader" by Alan Farley. The book is about $50 and should be on every traders desk. I can not say enough good things about this book personally. I do know that I would have drained my trading account three years ago if I did not have it. Tons...

+1089. Great day, specially after the earlier bloodletting this week.

A daily win limit would be a good idea for this week. Say your goal is to net $400/day - play 'til yer up 400, or down 400 - then quit while you are ahead or not too far behind. Nothing is more painful than being up then giving up your gain(s), no matter how great or small. Now if only I...

Anyone have any solid data for emini's, (specifically QM) for momentum trading. Currently using: MACD (12,26,9), and STOCH (1,3,3). I know that 1,3,3, is a bit short, but I can't seem to dial it in correctly. The stoch. gets pretty jumpy and the MACD to lag too much to be useful at this...

Sorry, I meant they would hold the sell order if price peaked, then fill after it went down, and leveled for at least 10 seconds. I HATE you Roger Riney! I freakin' hate you! (probably reminds him of his ex-wives). p.s. That hairpiece has to go, bud . . ."The rug doctor is in the house...

Scottrade sucks. I bought some calls (can't remember on what) once, and right after that the contract price shot up. When it peaked, I sold. Then it dropped back, after I was filled - I think the transaction was something like 9.10 BUY/9.60 Sell. After the 9.90 peak, I sold and was filled at...

Scottrade SUCKS for trading options. I have an account with OptionsXpress also, which offers Level II quotes for options. After being railroaded toward the exchange that favored Scottrade, rather than me (THE CUSTOMER), I stopped using Scottrade altogether. My fills were wherever the highest...
