I have done a lot of calculations on regression channels and moving averages in the past. Found something that worked a few years ago using moving average, but never found anything using regression. Sure I found some stocks it worked on for a period of time, but never that was consistent in a...

Venturerider, Ive been part of several types of business in my life. Being a consistent profitable trader is by far the most difficult. This is an ever changing business which means hard work every single day. As coolweb says you get slapped around almost every day. If you feel like...

I believe the specialist are participating less and less in the opening print. Instead of opening the stock as far away as he can he opens it as narrow as he can. As long as there is no order imbalances he can do that as far as I know. Remember that this is a numbers game. If 1 do it on a 10000...

The OO strategy is dying as far as I can see. The reason why you make good money is because you are a good trader, not because of good statistics. It just isnt any imbalances anymore on the opening. There are too many who do the same, making it easy to create counter strategies? Im sure you have...

Hello! I am looking for a premium news service. One that cover all stocks in US market, and not a selected few. As such briefing is out of the question for instance. Anyone can direct me to one? Any help appreciated! ORM

The trend in opening orders is clear. Volatility goes down by the day, and opening prints gets slimmer. With more people doing the same it deterioates, and risk/reward gets worse. Sure you need more strategies and im sure many do well in opening orders, but that wasnt the point. The point is...

Anyone realising that opening orders are dead yet? I mean when you advertise a strategy on an open forum in a market with declining volatility and volume, and then hope it will last... Well the outcome is given. ORM

Anyone know a website that give information about the time new IPOs start trading on Nasdaq and NYSE? ORM

The problem with that analysis is that it doesnt count for fields that is getting profitable because of the oil price rise. By saying this tho I dont say dont go long oil.. By all means.. It seems they want to create another hype now. ORM

It seems the price is going up because someone want it to go up. It goes up on speculation, and when the speculation is not happening then it goes down a little.... Only to come back up on other speculations. The total consumption of energy in world is not only based on oil. At certain oil...

My hunch is too much size and risk. Being down 19 % in 3 weeks tells all about that. Start small and build size as you get better at it. Youll never make money doing what you do now as you will always take winners fast and let losses run. ORM

The rule of big numbers are very common among professionals. I dont know many funds who dont do it. They want to reduce unsystematic risk so they invest in many companies for instance. ORM

Good to see more scandinavians here. What are you thinking of doing exactly? Im trading US stocks from Oslo. ORM

May started poorly for me, but have turned out to be great. 4 strategies, and will add one more now in june. How do you manage pairs now Mike? Done research on it, and I find only poor risk/reward. Sure with maybe 20 pairs as you say you might get the whole edge out of it, but but but... It...

Please. Everyone can clearly see your just bitter and have no knowledge at all of what you speak. Why on earth would it be a conflict of interest that echo is owned by Pax or Echo for instance? So before you drag yourself even further into the mud, and this thread with you, just stop. ORM

I trade remote from Norway with echo. Put up 20-30k dollars and they give you a world of opportunities in US stock market. Ok commisions and great help from the staff. The only problem I have with them is the software which they should modernise to suit the 2005 trader. They are also...

Some things have to give to bring it down no doubt about that. The most likely factor is of course a fall in dollar or interest rate. But it seems like most people forget. The US are privileged in that most countries accept dollar as a currency. Meaning that they can buy goods for dollars...

I couldnt agree more Sammy. But I think the firm told him he could handle such big size, which of course no one can when they dont make money consistently. Just want to add that high size adds a lot to the mental pressure. I would also think Goodpunk that if you added all your loss from...

Your high size is burning your mind matey... You are being eaten day by day now.. Soon you are thinking to start increase size to take back the losses, and then your in a very dangerous trap. Find an edge. ORM

The reason I asked had nothing to do with comission. It is harder to relate to bigger size, and harder to endure losses. With a smaller size I wouldnt be so mentally challenged at least, and make more rational decitions. ORM
