well, you need to decide what you really want to do. You say that you are thinking about trading, but what do you mean? Continuing to trade retail, prop, what? I'm doing the MBA thing right now, and I can tell you, it's pretty damn useless to trading. All I do is sit in class and trade all...

will you hold liability for your translation? to answer the question - I can't say this is true for me on all days, but I trade small lots - usually 100 to 500 shares. I'll measure upside potential to risk, looking for at least $.06 and risk .02.

ugh, i give up. I guess the ET answer is, "I don't know"

actually, I do just that on my swing trades. When I move my stop up, I usually buy a bit more at that level. But again, that's not what I want to know. How much would it take to move something .20? It was almost as if the esv specialist took it down .30 just for the heck of it. It went...

murray and deringer, are you evening paying attention? I'm not asking about the strategy in relation to my account. I am talking about the strategy as it relates to price action. I said that I don't average down, normally, so I understand your positions. Thank you for your concern...

$408.24 on 7,704 Very light volume for me today, but higher than average $! I'll take it every day! I only had TWO losing trades today (except for the funky thing that I did explained in the strategy forum earlier today, which doesn't really count because it ended up positive). Oh, and...

thanks. Let's assume that the offers were not hidden. I met the size at the ask as well as the price.... what then? This happened maybe twice, btw.

excuse me for being ignorant, but what's brut3? I do about 75% of my trades on that ecn.....

let me be a little more specific. I've heard of groups of traders ganging up on the ask to pump it up, but I have never really seen it in action. I was really hoping one of the tape readers could take a look, and give me some insight. It makes me wonder how easy it is to manipulate (and I...

yeah, thanks, that's not what I'm talking about. my stop was actually pattern based at .99 on the original position I'm asking if you think that my action of buying at the ask many times over effected the upwards price action

Alright, I did this on ESV just now, so you can check the T&S I want to know your opinion if what I did had an affect on the price action. I was in ESV at around 53.54 w/ 100 shares. It was in a channel, so I bought 100 more at the bottom of the channel. 20 minutes later it dropped to...

-$95.28 on 11,836 shares This morning went really well. Up until lunch I was up about 70. Came back about 1 and was up $112. Then, somehow I lost it all and then some! SNDK went the wrong way on me, and I was just stupid on AMGN As soong as "Stop Trading" came on and the word "Amgen"...

funny, four of these we hold in the fund which I help run here at school... I think they all suck. In what ways are they the "best?" the size of dividend, maybe?

I only look at ones i plan to enter. Use a scanner - either automated or by hand, set alerts for when the stocks hit your criteria, then execute not always that simple, but that's it in a nutshell. I have 5 Level II screens, no watchlists

$144.98 on 11,214 shares I was really smart today - finally. My trades were very deliberate, and I traded very cautiously. I traded 20 stocks today - more than usual, but the usual volume. I did this by keeping most of my trades on 100 share size. I had two or three that were 500 shares...

Joe, GREAT JOB! a 43k day and a 96k day - days like this are inspirations to crappy traders like myself! I'll start back again on monday....

friday before the third saturday, son don't be too harsh on him - it could be just a language barrier :D

LOLOLOLOL :D

-3318.85 on 8,200 shares 2nd worst day ever. I started out -2000, and floated around posititive $200-$400 all day. I made a bet on aapl buying around the low of the day figuring it would beat mean eps estimates, which it did. frickin' .65 isn't enough for people, I guess. Aside from the...

I was long some tech, and I got long more tech this morning. I was down nearly 2g's at one point, now I'm up about $200-400 inclusive of unrealized If the fat guys start shifting, all we little ones can do is ride the waves, no?
