Two computers. AMD 1500 Athlon, 512 meg RAM, $300+ 64mb video cards. Good sound systems to play music and alerts. A cable connection to one, a DSL connection to the other. Each computer connected to a single, huge flat panel display, at least 21". A reliable historical data source. A...

IMO Breaking news and analyst ratings are just what someone wants the general public to hear and have very little, if any, correlation to the price movement of any stock over any timeframe. If I had to guess I'd say that the best bet would be to do the exact opposite of what you hear, over a 2-3...

Limit and Stop orders. If you own a stock and want to sell it (get rid of it) Limit Order means- "sell the stock if it goes above this price". Stop Order means- "sell the stock if it goes below this price". Maybe the market price was below your Stop...

Anybody know of a service that provides realtime desktop limit alerts (I.E. "If the last price is under $20.02 trigger a popup alert") for large quantities of stock symbols? My discount broker has a maximum of 20. I need to keep track of several hundred. Thx Rigel

Check this out. It's a swing trading strategy. http://communities.msn.com/Rtharpsland/general.msnw?action=get_message&mview=1&ID_Message=756&LastModified=4675335299601056911 As far as risk goes, the way I understand it, it is important to be consistent. What you do is risk the same amount...

Neo, www.iitm.com Has a free trial game that you can download. It comes up with random prices (up or down), plugs them into the simulation, and keeps a running total of your fake "assets". Also graphs the assets so you can see if your winning or loosing. I think the random prices average out...

Thanks

I've been going through charts for a couple of weeks bar by bar and and accumulating data on several stocks to try to identify patterns. For instance, I'll start back 1000 bars and record the duration and percentage increase and decrease of every uptrend and downtrend etc. in order to identify...

Oh god that's funny! Joe Sixpack beats the market.

Jaan I haven't considered an alert service so far. It might be worthwile though, hadn't thought of it. Thanks Rigel

I've got one trading style that works very well in trending, volitile markets. I have a real hard time using it though (when appropriate) because it only triggers 2 to 3 times a month. An hours preparation is required each night for the following day. That means I have to spend an hour every...

Kevmeister Oh man. That hurts just hearing about it. If I was you I'd bail. The stock is worth exactly what it is worth NOW. It isn't worth what you paid for it. Until you have enough information to make an educated guess about where the stocks are going I think you'd be better off cutting your...

I'm not a lawyer, but as I understand it, while your working for a company your IRA is the responsibility of an "administrator" that the company is required by law to hire to manage their employee IRA fund. The administrator my former company hired was Kidder Peabody. Most administrators trend...

The price action would change directions. It takes time to get into a position and time to get out. Popping up order screens, entering passwords, the time it takes to be filled. A stock can turn on you and go 20-30 cents against you before you can get out of it. One time I just used a market...

I had some success buying one of the top 5 percentage gap-downers, which were usually 6-12%, placing my orders at 9:35am consistently. Held them until 3:30 or until they made 4%. Set my stop at cost. Did one a day for 25 days, $4k positions, $1552 profits before trading fees - $62avg/day, 16...

The first indicator I used successfully was a strategy I came accross that involved Average True Range. I paper traded it for a month using a trailing stop for my exits. I did about 40 trades in one month with a 4k$ position on each trade and maximum of 12k$ in the market at any one time and no...

I am a Christian. I believe in God the father, Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit. I also believe that Satan exits, and there are not many things IT would like better than to have a bunch of true Moslems, who love God, and a bunch of true Christians, who love God, and a bunch of true Jews, who...

Tuna, one thing we do know now is that talk is cheap.

Nick, you said "The A#1 problem espoused by radical fanatics is that they see us as the main funders of their "enemy" Israel, and therefore by association we are also the enemy." The clue here is the word "espoused". I believe the reason they are killing is because they like to kill. Their...

Nick, these terrorists don't want peace. Their whole goal in life, their carreer, is devoted to killing innocent people. It fills them with a sense of god-like power and a sense of purpose. They are malignant narcissists like serial killers who get their kicks from having absolute control over...
