    noobie looking for guidance and advice

    Here's some GOOD advice, seek out those who are making money, and insulate yourself from the "negative" elements such as hydro and others on here. ( you can always put them on ignore) As for the market environment, there is plenty of money being made. In fact, nearly all the traders that I...

    Paul Krugman - National Health Insurance

    All this talk about healthcare, I can count the number of times I have been to the doctor in the past 10 years on one hand. I imagine there are many more just like me. In fact, everyone should self insure, and only carry some type of catastraphe insurance IMO!

    Paul Krugman - National Health Insurance

    National health insurance sounds great in theory but won't work in real world application. Take a look at a few of the countries that provide it and look at the quality of care. It takes months to see specialists, it takes a year to get an appointment for a physical, and this seems like a good...

    Tough Month?

    Like lefty said, the key is to do a lot of research. I would add that I look to trade the truely great opportunities in pairs. I have found a few different setups that offer a 4:1 or 5:1 risk reward on an intraday basis, and offer the opportunity to capture an overnight bonus. Managing...

    Tough Month?

    Lefty, What do you mean by "always buy the first pullback", to me it looks like the market is just running to new highs on the day. Does that mean buy "if the close of that bar is a pullback from the high, then buy it?" Thanks, Mike

    Don's openings and more for 2005

    Little tougher today, the liquidity to get out is not there on some of these stocks when it hits a good price, which makes for a lotta "coulda made more" 's. It also makes the OPG play somewhat "riskier". Up a little over a grand today! Good trading to all! Mike

    What are acceptable Performance numbers

    That's scary. Please start off small and make the system really prove itself to you before you "bet the farm", so to speak. You might find that your actual results vary greatly from your systems hypothetical results, and It never is a favorable variance. Good luck!

    Tough Month?

    Quit making excuses hydro, everyone always says it was so much easier trading back then, blah, blah, blah. The fact of the matter is that those who succeed in the market leave clues. Winners don't make excuses, they find ways. When others are whining and complaining, they are looking for the...

    Tough Month?

    I swear to god it's like crabs in a bucket on this site, perhaps it's time you step off the band wagon! It's no wonder many successful traders no longer bother to post on here.

    Questions re: going live with a system?

    If you are disciplined, it is not hard at all. You could set your system up with an audio alert so that you don't have to constantly stare at a computer screen. In between orders, you can do more research, set up spread sheets to model your account growth and count your millions of dollars...

    Tough Month?

    Hydro, Good luck with your pizza biz, cuz you ain't got what it takes to be a great trader! For just a few minutes, stop and think before you respond. A small trader has a tremendous edge over the large players who try to move positions around. The way I see it you have two problems, a...

    Tough Month?

    No thanks, don't do drugs, and won't ever do them, I don't want to turn out like you! :) Listen, even you could hold a combined pair portfolio of 200k overnight, capture a theoretical edge of say 12% and add another 24k to your bottom line. Could you use a 24k a year raise? Now add to that...
