CCMP stopped out even. With a point in my favor, I entered two orders, one a stop at break even (73.70) and a cover at 70.55. I do this because sometimes I cannot monitor the position throughout the day. I have never had both triggered. I wish there were a conditional order entry that in the...

Meant to say, when it could not hold Friday's high, not when it did not break it, which it did.

SEPR is a prime example why not to hold stocks overnight in companies that are overly dependent on regulatory bodies for product approval. Specifically smaller drug companies which develop compounds. Major drug cos. can get whacked by the FDA and suffer only a 3-4 point blip because they have a...

With regard to swing trades, I would like to participate so I will post swing plays also and hope others will too. Today: Bot FLIR 40 @55.89. partial fill. Wish I had it earlier. This is thin n fast Think the market will offer better risk opportunities on pullbacks in the next week or...

Do you mean big money is lost by recklessly adding to losing positions?

What answer do you want? The catastrophic event you ask about would have untold repercussions. The scenario is so nightmarish trading becomes a past event, something in our pre-apocalyptic lives. How could you prepare for this as a trader-it's so extreme. What do you do? If you are...

I do agree that any time people are going long diapers and the vix is high really high, it has proven a good opportunity to load up. [/B] On Friday, Naz VIX had its lowest close since July. Hmmm. Kimberly Clark might have a sales spike in the offing.

D for my true 1st initial, gabriel for my middle name, a touch of the real and an alias in one.

I captured this RT page with just this chart using alt-print screen key combination and then saved it as a GIF filewith WIndows paintbrush (pbrush.exe) Let's see how it looks

MLNM looks uncertain for a swing trade, nothing to confirm a trend reversal. Two tails and sideways movement for a week. I'd wait until it turns up (or down), pauses, and then resumes and then I'd look for entry with the trend. With this stock now, the worst you could do by waiting for better...

"Why would anyone live anywhere else? No State Income Tax, free food, 5 bedroom house (brand new) for $150,000....great weather...and, most important......a great place to trade from.. " Because unlike that culturally barren wasteland Las Vegas, NYC has it all, and it is worth the extra...

But all these guys are scamsters. They could'nt trade baseball cards with an 8 year old.

Looks like Mr. Nassar had a good take on AMAT that morning. Nonetheless, I am leery of "trading advisors". I have met a number of professional traders and the one whose simplest advice has proven best. He said to me : "the markets naturally go like this" and he made a wave like motion with...

Sabena said: "Remember the day that our friend Soros made about 1 billion dollar in the British Pound." Yeah, he took it out of the pockets of the other players in the market. Go Forex

One trader's pattern failure is another's pattern confirmation. It depends on your expectation. A stock breaking out on the 5 minute charts might do so at long term resistance and fail abruptlyafter the breakout, offering success to short players on the longer time frame. When patterns fail...

Buy & Hold? That's a strategy - really a marketing scheme - put forward by the Mutual Fund companies which profits them. Keep the money tied up and they get their cut. Buy and Hold appeals to the retail investor becuase it requires they do nothing. It works well in secular bull markets but it...

For those traders who employ them. Do you always carry the option position with an end of day nuetral stance with the 3 elements of the bullet? Do you continually hold the options as you manage the equity position? When do you close out the position completely? Going into expiration? And do you...

Of course, a deal could be worked out with a firm that would broker the individual accounts like Andover or Generic/Carlin, etc. which may provide costs benefits to a small group and where the office is self maintained. One would not need a licensed person.
