thanks steve.thats what i was looking for.

steve,you're a nice guy a contribute greatly to this thread so bare with me with my lack of statistical skills. perhaps i should have posed this as a question opposed to a poll.

the poll is this: how many of you trade news/earnings ect..and play gap ups at the open opposed to waiting for intraday set ups?

how many of you guys tyrade news? earnings/upgrades ect.. pre-market when you guys rae looking for stocks do you gravitate towards those with news? that usually means you are playing gap ups. or do you do better just finding intraday set ups?

if they do it will only be 25 basis points and the market will sell off. i think the markets dead either way.i just do not see them doing 50.

RVBD lookig good today,BCSI was downgraded. anyone like either for a trade?

NY_HOOD said he was a good trader but deviated from his rul of not holding overnight. had he not dome that he would not be in this mess. give the poor guy a break. i give him credit for starting the thread as we have all been there.

great response about traders not caring about what the ameket does. i agree 100%,the market direction is not something i care about.

i think we have at least another year. prices still have'nt fallen enough. another thing to remember is loan standards are much tougher so those that may have normally qualified may have a much tougher time. lets not for get the psychological aspect of this as well with so many people reading...

i'd like to know as well.

unfortunately this is one of those occupational hazzards. It has happened to me a few times and each time is a learning experience. actually there are only a few rules that a trader needs to follow but paramount is understanding the true implications. for example,do not hold overnight. make a...

also,it begs the question. will a rate cut even help? could we be in a predictament where the economy slowed so much that lower rates will be ineffective? look at 2000 when the ded started to lower rates.

contrary to what some might say,the street expected a weak number but not one that was this weak. also,prior months were revised down. this was simply a disaster.

never trade pre-market or after hours unless you know what you are doing. you can really take a beating.i've seen more traders blow up trading extended hours than any other stradegy next to buying the open on a gap up.

for some reason its tough to get questions answered about market makers.

i thought the challenge was fun basically because the questions were easy and i can answer them. i actually don't see anything wrong with it and i am not a cnbc fan,i watch bloomberg.

its almost "revenge trading". a trader can become irrational and become fixated on a loss. does'nt matter if its 800 or 8,000, the same thing still happens as a trader wants his money back as soon as possible. i actually have a list of rules hanging in front of my computer that i will never...

was having a conversation about some of the bad habits traders have and decided to post one that really stood out. when a trader loses lets say 800 on a given day,he will go into the next trading day with one thing in mind:try and get that 800 back as soon as possible. that will just create a...

its been going up for the past 2 weeks and nobody has really taken notice until today. good article in the wall steet journal about it.
