The holy grail doesn't exist. But by carefully monitoring my automated strategies, I know when to get in or get out, or change them. The only requirement for me is to have volatile stocks . Up or down (as long as they are shortable, which isn't the case for TASR at many brokers). So I'm already...

I've attended several times chess sessions with blindfolded players who were playing simultaneously against 10-40 players. And in most cases they won all or 99% of their games. Blind people develop , by nature, an extraordinary memory. If you would apply this to trading I would recommend a...

I'm Dutch living near Monaco in France. I have a 1Mb ADSL for 35€/month (well, actually I have 2 just 1 for backup purposes). I think my ISP , wanadoo, is also active in Spain. TFD

I don't care . Although at my broker(s) I cannot short it, having my automated strategies running, on the long side, TASR still brings in a comfotble amount every day. Need more volatile stocks like that (up or down) to develop my strategies further. I'll appreciate any interesting ideas.... TFD

I'm a pure stragey trader. I've developed a specific strategy for TASR which brings me about 5-15% on my account on a DAILY basis. That's the kind of stock I need to optimize my stragegies. Well, anyway, if TASR stops moving I'll just jump on another one (good candidate IPIX)... TFD

what do you mean? 20% + 2% on principal. ? Could you please explain a little bit more in detail ? 20% on the profits? on what time basis? What in case of losses? 2% on principal? That's the "entry fee" when you accept the account? Or to be even more specific, how about an example? Somone...

I've had request from other people to manage their accounts. Now, apart from the technical and legal issues, if you accept a mission like that, how do you commission yourself? I fixed amount daily, weekly, monthly, regardless of results? 0 in case of loss, a percentage in case of gain? Other...

This morning I took a load of TASR at around 81. But it was hardly moving, so I dropped it. Only 15 minutes later it want from 81 to 95!!! I could have retired with the load I had..:(:(:(:(:(:(:( Really disgusted.. TFD

I have used a couple of platforms, and a lot of them have similar functionality. Personnaly, I think esignal and tradestation stand out above the rest. I have only reviewed and not actually traded with esignal, but I do with tradestation. Considering your requirements of back testing I think...

I was wondering if you keep detailed records about your trading performance? Some people say: "I just look at my equity curve". If it's up I'm doing well, if it's down I'm not doing well. Well, that is maybe a oversimplified statement but I know traders who use only that to "measure" their...

This thread remembers me of memories years, and years and yeras back when I was trying to understand how a short worked. But even when I understood it, I noticed that it was difficult to explain to people who didn't know anything about stock trading (or even some that did some casual...

I guess you all have a number of sites in your favorites list which you warch more or less frequently. Stock advice, news, training, books, etc.etc. I know there is a "resources" forum , but wading through a forum is not the most efficient way to find usefull links. Wouldn't it be interesting to...

I had no problem whatsoever with signing up with any broker in the US. But than, the relationship between the US and The Netherlands has been a little bit different then the one between the US and Iran over the past couple of years..:). I guess you're just born in the wrong country... out of...

I receive about 60+ spams a day. If I had used all miracles that they promised I would have a dick long 5 feet by now. In the beginning (3-4 years ago) I used the unscribe feauture. That makes things even worse. I now use filters in outlook. I have about a hundred rules to filter out anything...

well, looking only (and ONLY) at the graph, we have a marvelous triple top, which seems to go down to about 1.19. But I wouldn't bet a dollar ( or a euro on it).... (1.215 at the moment of writing) TFD Preparing my holidays for the states next summer so if you guys could push it down a...

next question: I'm trading with a 3 pips spread, is that good or bad? Can I get better? If so, where? Thx TFD

Funny, last week I had a discussion on this topic with some other traders, about what would heppen to the markets if such news would come out. And opi,ions where quite diversified. From "hardly anything" to "a VERY MAJOR shootup of the market". Now if you look at another MAJOR event, the...

you're right 50. No real free trial. But indeed, radarscreen (and the second option which is an option scanner if I remember well) free for one month trial, IF you open an acoount. TFD

What I understand from the TS site is that you can get a 1 month free trial. I'm aware that TS doesn't supply a feed for Paris. But I'll stop DT on Paris, cause volatility is close to zero. Just keep some stock there for swing trading for which I don't need a real time feed. Thanks TFD
