This is exactly the one who I consider to be my first mentor :) And principles he applied go way beyond that. Intensity of trading at that time was way lower, today he would have used the charts I think Vad

Tape reading you are talking about is something of staring at ticker (T&S) trying to gauge the strength/weakness. I can't understand how anyone could trade this way. Even in more sophisticated version, like observing the blocks, spotting major players and analyzing their action it's too intense...

Jeanette, your first task is not picking the stocks to day trade. It's rather defining the method you want to apply. It will take time, it's not something that you just decide on because this method has to suit your personality and you are going to find it out over time. I don't think you...

My personal experience is that August is the slowest. June/July are considerably slower but still tradeable, but if I plan summer vacation August is the best time for me. Vad

I don't know :)

I kinda was pretty there wouldn't be nothing new for you in this :) I never thought of it this way, to me it felt like if there is buyer willing to put up higher bid he would take my chasing offer, too. Most likely it all balances out in the end: in some cases that hypotetical buyer gets...

DATTrader, some platforms provide easier and more convinient way. Two ECNs, REDI and ARCA, have feature that allows you to enter short sell order below the bid on downbid. Of course it won't get filled as it's prevented by uptick rule (will they ever do away with this??) but your order will...

There are plenty of strategies for exiting, really could be entire book... I'll describe mine. Strategies for scalp and day trades exit are different. Scalping is very subjective animal, let me talk about day trades only. General rule is, hold through slow climb, sell/partial out on...

actually, Anaheim in August 2001 was even smaller... Or so it seemed. Vad

Booths and presentations are hard to talk to, to each their own... useless for some, of interest for others... I would rather share impressions of people I've met, it's interesting to put real faces next to messages. Baron. Energetic, very goal-oriented, fast thinker, good sense of humor. Was...

sorry, somehow missed your post earlier. I think we are getting somewhere now that we agreed to look in what's behind the words, and concepts look fairly close. Couple things need to be said about my take on emotions. First, like we discussed before, "emotionless" is not right term and...

I probably need to add that tape reading described in the book mentioned and applied by me is not pure T&S reading, and there is much more to this method of reading than simple "trade at the bid or at the offer". Vad

my favorite is Tape Reading and Market Tactics by Humphrey B. Neill Old classic, written in 30s. Best regards, Vad

you missed entire point of discussion. We are educational service, not just stock picking site that wouldn't disclose trading method applied. We don't sell stock picks. We teach how to recognize setups and how to play them. As for the rest, I would suggest you to read entire exchange before...

Believe it or not, zero. My guess qould be, this phenomena is rather explained by perception that I was questioned/attacked, and most of messages were in line with "Drop it, you can't win". I did all I can to rid of feeling of fight remaining within limits of dialog. Whether I managed to do it...

I guess so, why not... it's not a secret by any means. Best regards, Vad

I believe I explained it, and not once. You just don't agree with my explanations. It's fine with me, I am not looking to be in agreement with entire world. Vad
