It appears I type too slow...

One of Drummond's students (I think) runs a site where you can find info. www.tedtick.com I'm sure they also offer sone indicators for TS and metastock and other platforms. Also, the book "the ultimate trading guide" (george hill?) has a bit of info on Drummond geometry (not much, but a...

I define success as having the resources (financial, emotional,etc) to have and do the things that will allow me to grow as a person. By my own definition I'm still not successful because I have to spend some of my daily hours working for other people, which means I'm not spending those hours...

Don't worry, you haven't seen sarcasm yet. And from your post I'm sure you'll get some. What you wrote was the equivalent of my going to "elitebrainsurgeon.com" and asking" "I'm thinking of doing brain surgery for a living. Since I'm a beginner I plan to focus only on the...

the books by Christopher A. Farrell. I'm NOT recommending the strategies in the books 'cause they were designed for a time long since passed, but much of the info about the specialist system is fairly up-to-date. Best of all, they are pretty cheap books.

Generally speaking there is no good reason to be paying more for your broker - they all do the same thing. First you have to decide whether you want direct access or not (recommended!). The advantage of some of the online type brokerages is that in many cases the "flat fee" structure works out...

It sounds as though you are trading because you want to trade, not necessarily because you perceive the odds as being heavily in your favor. Even though you are just "training" now you should start cultivating the attitudes that will hold you in good stead for your whole career. Better to make 4...

there is no minimum for how many shares you can short. Though most people prefer to deal in round units (ie 100 shares) there is no law against buying or selling odd lots. I'm sure someone with their 7 will correct me if I'm wrong. Some stocks are designated "Hard-to-Borrow" (HB) which means you...

I'm no IT guy but this is what I'd do. The easiest thing is reformat the hard disk and re install Windows. That'll take care of most of your problems. If there is a problem with the hd then you'll need to buy a new one and plug it in. They're really cheap now. If for some reason you don't...

I had a few extra moments in a book store a few weeks back and flipped through the swing trading book and the Underground trader book. Please understand that I didn't have tons of time and my examinations were somewhat cursory. There are 2 new swing trading books on the shelves now and I...

Almost every day I see a post from someone saying how they are going to stop trading equities and make the shift to index futures. The reasons cited include, new shorting rules, exchange misconduct, PDT, lack of volatility, and so on. So my question is, if a significant number of traders move to...

I don't get it GG, even though Brandon has agreed to go through with your stupid challenge, what does it prove? I've never used Brandon's web site, but my understanding is that he posts real-time trades all day every day - sounds like he's confident about his trading. If you want people to...

Even though I'm a staunch anti-gun guy I have to admit your explanation of utility vs rights was very good and rather persuasive. It's by far the best argument I've seen to date. Many pro-gun guys don't seem to be able to articulate what you said as well ("Pry my gun from my cold dead hands"...

I must say I'm disturbed by your lack of a mature response. I think it was clear from my post that I was in no way attacking Americans - simply one administration's decision to pursue a difficult course of action. Do the benefits out way potential gains? Judging by the # of Americans being...

In terms of relative death toll the Iraq conflict is still probably well within reasonable limits. Certainly a more balanced war would have caused far greater casualties. The problem is, what do we (you Americans) get out of a continued presence in Iraq? What is the bottom line? In Vietnam you...

Who is Paris Hilton (or do you mean the hotel in Paris?)? More importantly, what's the file size on Kazaa?

I had a chance to go through most of the link you sent me. It was very informative. I see what you mean about the continued decline in commercial loans - it's not like the money isn't available! It appears that M2 might have peaked in the short term. I wonder if this will translate into lower...

Anyone know of any sites where significant insider buying or selling is published for free? I've found a few sites that publish the results for $20 a month. Of course the info is available at the SEC site but it takes a long time to weed through so many forms submissions.

Hi, Recently there was a thread about money supply growth and contraction. I'm wondering: 1. What's a good web site to get the numbers from in chart form. There were a few suggestions on the last thread, but I'm wondering if there are any "favorites." 2. Are there any rules of thumb for...

Thank you for your comments. I think you'll see that I wasn't trying to elicit a response from the TS rep. I was simply attempting to apprise everyone of a situation that myself and others have had to deal with in regards to TS's business practices. I'm actually not referring to the...
