You are not losing money on learning curve and you are unhappy camper... sheesh, what kind of expectations do you have?? :) Seriously man, you won't find many newer traders that could say this... Vad

BRCD, PSFT, NETA, SANM, EXTR... just some of those called today, can't call them illiquid, right?... there are less liquid, too, and there are those that like them better than widely followed. Let's agree that this is matter of personal preference and we offer them for all tastes. (Not...

yeah, that's tough game. I wouldn't be trying to do it on constant basis, this kind of scalping is not today's reality, it's rather from long forgotten SOES bandits times :) Vad

not necessary... all depends on approach and method applied. For instance, you play usual setups that you would take for daytrade, you just don't give stock too much room for wiggles taking your profit at 1:1 risk reward or higher, as soon as it weakens/pauses. "Nintendo" approach can be played...

Can I humbly withdraw myself from the gurus?... :) Honestly, I've grown to hate this word applied to trading. We at RT use it mostly to mock those that call the bottoms and tops until they get it right, or predict market direction in confident voice or hype their good calls to no end while...

I totally agree, this is IMO exactly the role of setup - not predicting tool but rather a structure, or, as you put it, part of the structure. Also, I don't think this is exactly right: Astute trader observing markets constantly can see the moment pattern weakens and start fading it. They go...

let me offer you one of the mantras we use for morning self-tuning. This one is devoted to exactly "pulling the trigger"problem. Please keep in mind that they (mantras) are based on assumption that you've got your tested and proven system and your problem is pure emotional barrier. Fear of...

I am glad to hear we were able to help even during simple 1 week trial. You know, interesting thing about alerts format... while I am doing many of them in strict " *** type of setup, trigger here, stop there", sometimes I slip into simple discussion of what I see and many of traders find it...

thank you for detailed answer. Gotta tell you, I really dislike voice part, we tried it and found it highly unreliable and potentially very confusing. Suggestion about graphics is very interesting, we are looking into it for some time already. Alerts... I think it's just about who likes...

This is not first time I am told this. Please help me understand what is unclear in alert "ABCD breakout candidate, trigger 15, stop 14.75". TIA, Vad

it's been really long time since I've studied odds theory... :) I guess there is distinction between odds and their distribution. While odds are not random if there is an edge, their disctibutiuon is, so outcome of each given trade is not predictable. Despite this trading results over a...

Actually in case with market it could be not as simple as with coins. If market movements are result of trader's actions, opinions etc, then there is some kind of "memory". For instance if certain pattern failed several times in a row traders are likely to start fading it more often resulting in...

Nice to see thread of HAPPY traders for a change! Congatulations to all, fantastic job. Vad

Let me offer somewhat different take on the question 'do TA work". Please keep in mind that this is just my approach and I am not adept in TA, so it might be of no value for some. To me, TA have no PREDICTING value, in a sense that this or that setup or pattern do not allow to tell in advance...

I don't really want them... first, I would like to see you talking like normal trader does whn other traders talk to him, in a calm and respectful manner. But just this once, to show you that bible stuff works... All plays are to be seen on 1 min chart. 1. 9:38, long INVN at 36.67 on break...

1. I never gave you any advice. It was not intended for you as I indicated in my post, and the reason was, I never believed you would read it with any other inclination than to dismiss it. 2. What I said was not taken out of the books. This is MY experience of dealing with slumps, and I've...

This post refers mostly to recovery after single heavy loss but most of it is valid for "regular" losing streak, IMO. I am posting it mostly for others to look at as Hitman doesn't seem to believe that his problems are on psychology side of things. Yet, I strongly believe that's the case...

QQQ trades are being placed in position trading room temporary, next week they will be moved to separate room. Sorry that your trial coincided with this transit period. About prices called on QQQ, most of them are being put within 5 cents interval, like: entry .10-.15 Best regards, Vad

making money off spreads, I was never fan of that idea even during fractions time, let alone now. But scalping is different animal, it's just old and mistaken stereotype, IMO, to liken it to spread trading. Scalping is as alive as ever and does have its advantages. Disadvtantages, too, of...

let's try this for starters: http://www.siliconinvestor.com/stocktalk/msg.gsp?msgid=13871087 It was written in July of 2000, some things sure have changed since then in both, market and my approach, but basics are the same. In addition, I have to say: - I wouldn't be trying to scalp...
