yup, the zero manipulation factor is important. the way i see it, the intrinsic value of the underlying quad Q components will (should) prevent it from ever crashing or doing irreparable harm to my account. that's why i can freely sling 1,000+ share lots of them while not having the cajones to...

yea, it is. but i figure, as long as they're easy to read, and responsible for half of my monthly proofits, i pretty much just hafta suck up the comms. i also use smart market order buys and sells to sweep all the little hidden orders inbetween the penny bid/offer spread that i can't see...

here's the whole printscreen. http://www.freewebs.com/mytradingjournal/7-19close.PNG i took it at 4:08:14. at that time, my 500 share open, overnight QQQQ position was trading at $39.25, 51.7 cents higher than the previous day's $38.73 close. e*trade calculates first in, first out. if...

what he means is, they can always show fake orders, and pull them. they'll place a big block to "show" s/r, then pull it, lower it, or raise it in an effort to reduce or completely eliminate their transparency. but sometimes, it is a legit order. which goes back to playing the odds. being...

Goldman just downgraded LU, and says there's no upside, and about 20% downside. i guess they front-ran their own downgrade by dumping yesterday's open. glad to hear you didn't get caught up in that 6+ million share collapse at yesterday's open, MK.

i've only recently started using nyob, and my listed trading has gotten much better since. if i'm trying to unload some BSC, i'd sit a BRUT sell order at $99.86, right beneath the 4,000 share, .87 resistence. a 4,000 share order is big for a $100, fairly thin stock, so i know should be...

after losing money yesterday (only $19), it was nice to crack 4 figures today. i dumped my Q's at 4:06, comfortably before INTC laid an egg with their aftermarket earnings release.. then of course i rebought 'em. hopefully, the analysts won't batter intel tomorrow morning, and we continue our...

the indices are: .INDU, .COMPX, and .SPX. i also have .NDX, .SOX, .XBD (broker/dealer index), and .VIX in my indices box.

that demo is nice, isn't it? don't forget, it's 15 to 30 minutes behind the market. don't let your real longs tank in realtime while watching them rally on the demo.

thanks for catching that link problem, NYSEProTrader. you too ManahattanTrader.. i knew i left something out. the betas are important, and i forgot to put that formula in. Carlos, i used black numbers for a second column of calculations on my spreadsheet (column E) to make it less...

yea, flip it and pretend you weren't the one whose latent desires unearthed, causing you to fem out, babble about some "gay" gym, and request the shutting of a thread. what are you so afraid of, buddy? why don't you stand up and face these demons that have you so conflicted. i can imagine...

haha, do gyms intimidate you? or is it the deep, repressed feelings that surface in your loins at the very thought of them that have you shook and are keeping you at bay?

i know.. my lats, traps, and especially my delts could all use some work. i get a little lazy every now and then. after knocking out my chest, arms, and crunches, i'm ready to go home.

lol, you coulda asked.. i don't think it's really a big deal anymore. i lift at a "dirty" gym in where alotta cops, firemen, and drug dealers work out. they're all cool with each other in the lockerroom and openly swap all types of sh*t. to me, that diesel look just wouldn't be worth the...

this post pretty much explains everything. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showt...34998#post34998 here's an old spreadsheet i made off that post. it's pretty basic. i'm sure there's a feature or 2 that the OO pros use that i left out. the bold white columns are the ones you have to change...

today was a snoozer.. but i'll take it. pretty much just surfed the net all day while trading was an afterthought. 10,100 shares traded.

nice opening. i see you added some nasdaq stocks to your oo basket. how have they been doing?

BSC and DIA both dropped the hammer, and sucked a quick $100 out of me at the close. still a good day, tho. 10,300 shares traded.

i had 2 accidental trades today.. one was 500 QQQQ @ $38.647. it turned out to be my best trade of the day. usually when i screw up a keystroke, it works against me. so mksummny, i see you're up roughly $33,500 in the 4 days you've been back.. not including those WBR rebates. that's just...

the 10.85 VIX made for a tough market. the Q's stayed in too tight a range to make anything substantial. still did well, tho. 12,400 shares traded.
