    Anyone following Waxie (Trendfund)?

    I agree with both of the last posts. Waxie can be extremely annoying, and in the end it's what partially drove me away. As for why he ran a chat room, I honestly think he really enjoys it. Ken, at the time some guy challenged Waxie to prove that he really was making all this money, and if...

    Trading QQQs

    Just because you see AMEX on the bid/offer when isld has been easten up a few levels doesn't mean you will actually get filled at those levels. Try trading qqq's in a fast market through AMEX a few times to see what I mean.

    Anyone following Waxie (Trendfund)?

    I subsribed to Trendfund for a month to check it out. Waxie really was making a ton of money at the time. He had a $500k day once. I didn't follow any of his trades because they didn't fit my style, but it was fun to watch.

    Keeping up to date with trades for taxes ?

    I filed M2M for the first time this year. I just had to report my P&L and send my 1099 from Cyber (about a 6" stack of paper). My accountant also had me print out the file of trades from Penson (another 6" stack) to match it to the 1099. Not sure why I had to do that.

    My story!

    I know a trader that this happened to. He was supposed to be a pure daytrader. Then it was one long term position...then three...and so on. Now, 2 years later he is still paying margin calls on 10+ "daytrades" from 2 years ago. His retirement is pretty much wiped out. When do I get out of...

    Trading advice needed

    El Cazador, There isn't a right or wrong way to daytrade. Find the style that suits you the best. Check out praetorian2's thread at "great new pattern" to see his style: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=881

    Trading advice needed

    Hi Kevin, It sounds like the first thing you need is a plan. You described your entry plan, but didn't talk about your exits. Are you wanting 1/4's, $1's, $3? Are you using the futures as a guide? You can get a free S&P futures feed at Quote.com using the livecharts feature if you don't...

    Opinions on Esignal??

    Not going to make friends around here talking like that! 3/4 point on BRCD, AMAT or VTSS is no different from 3/4s on JNPR. Ed, check this link for my three monitor setup using w98. I use the E400's that Ken recommended. http://www.iwinfree.com/P3080037.jpg

    Nasdaq vs. Dow vs. Nikkei Crashes

    eltr, I am talking about what you see in the last hour (orange bars) of the third chart. RSI is unable to make a recovery, and and market just keeps falling. This would signal serious selling, and I would avoid any long scalps once I figured out what was going on. In normal market...

    Disadvantages electing Mark to Market?

    p2, mjt is acutally right. I fell in that tax bracket for 2000, and was able to deduct any expenses (computers, monitors, DSL, books, etc). This year I plan on setting up an S-Corp because you can stash away $30k/year into a tax-free pension...at least until the money is withdrawn. You...

    Nasdaq vs. Dow vs. Nikkei Crashes

    Tonight I created a chart using historical data from all 3 crashes (Dow 1930, Nikkei 1990, Nasdaq 2000-1). It turns out that the Nasdaq has fallen farther, and faster than either of the other two. Check it out: http://www.iwinfree.com/comparison.htm
