    Ratigan nails how "dark pools" rip off traders: Dark pool trading = 10% of volume

    This whole thread is idiocy. Dark pool transactions happen at the same NBBO (the same price as the "regular" markets.) If a large investor wants to sell a block of stock that would drop the stock if they just dumped it on the NYSE, why not see if they can cross it in a dark pool and meet a...

    i am dying to get in the pits

    Trigger, you need to be careful. I'm going to say this in the kindest way possible, but you are looking like an idiot. You obviously don't have any idea how markets find prices. There is no "they" to fix the "problem" and there is no "problem" to be fixed. Your entire argument about daily...

    Is technical analysis getting the recognition it deserves in university studies?

    Surf, don't be an idiot. Prices are not coin flips. 5 minutes with Excel (if that's all you got) would show you there is serial dependency on some timeframes. Add that to some fairly predictable elements of volatility and you're close to having something interesting. This can be quantified...

    Technical Analysis College Course?

    I don't think you'll find it. First of all, I don't know how much finance is taught as evening courses. Second of all, the academic world doesn't think profitable trading is possible, and certainly not that TA works. I don't think you'll find a college level class anywhere teaching TA but I...

    Practice daytrading account?

    It can be a good way to practice, and I'd recommend you try it. However, be aware that it is TOTALLY different than trading. Just because you don't lose money in a sim, there's no guarantee at all that you can match that performance trading. The main problems with trading (at least for the...

    Would You Take a 4% gain in 3 days?

    that's an example of a total bullshit line. i've met tons of traders who lost money taking profits too soon, out of line with risk, etc etc. the world does not need more trading platitudes.....

    Market Monk

    The bottom line is this market monk guy was obviously a fraud and it became apparent as time went on that his gig was trying to get $10,000 out of a few people from the internet. This forum probably had quite a bit to do with him folding up and ending his scam so I think you need to keep in...

    A shoulder to cry on

    I hate to state the obvious... but if the market isn't following through much as of late, isn't it appropriate to fade moves? It is possible to make money daytrading doing nothing more than selling new highs of day and buying new lows of day. A few refinements can make that a very profitable...

    Market Monk

    I have to confess: I might have had something to do with this guy vanishing. Might have had something to do with me suggesting that collecting fees for "teaching" based on falsified trading performance could possibly construed as intent to defraud. Anyway, good riddance!

    Market Monk

    I made an attempt at being openminded by tring to meet the guy. His response to me pretty clearly marks him as a fraud. THe setup (his performance this year) is so outlandish that it alone pretty clearly says something is not kosher. However, is it possible? Maybe, with some element of luck...
