    So say you do find a Holy Grail Method...

    EXACTLY! You're on the wavelength that I'm on. And yes, it surprises me how people will bitch about their lives and finances, but don't/didn't want to try to collaborate on finding a holy grail.

    So say you do find a Holy Grail Method...

    How do you/would you deal with it? OK, here's the situation. In the past, I thought I found a Holy Grail method. I got really excited about it and TRIED to explain it to a few of my friends. Here's the interesting part. I really believed I had it, and I was enthusiastic and excited...

    I am no longer Swinging for the Fences

    Thanks. I try to avoid too much leverage, so a blow up generally isn't in the cards for me. At the core of my system, there are some stocks that are just along for the ride that are supposed to bring in dividends. Their fluctuations keep me from focusing too closely on the heart of the...

    Haines as a Swing Trade anyone? HBI

    My bad. I read the chart from the link I posted above. But I forgot that the chart I posted lags by a day, so it was one day outdated. Tonight it updated and I see that the stock popped up. I sure wouldn't have predicted that! Here's an up to date chart...

    Haines as a Swing Trade anyone? HBI

    I would not do that: http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ta?s=HBI&t=6m&l=on&z=l&q=c&p=b%2Cv&a=m26-12-9%2Css&c= The price action has come off the top bollinger band and the volume spike is diminishing as the price drops...not many more people wanting in at these levels. Wait long enough and it...

    I am no longer Swinging for the Fences

    I dropped out of sight and off this board. Not because I don't do trading, but I've come to the conclusion....at least for myself personally...that swinging for the fences just doesn't work. Especially as a swing trader. Understand that I've studied this stuff for about a decade and tried...

    Blackjack player beats 3 Atlantic City Casinos for $15.1M

    I can intuitively count cards. Specifically, under ordinary circumstances, you expect "10 cards" to come up 4 times out of 13, which is....ummm...about 30% of the time. But sometimes I can just feel that they are coming up way more often, or way less often without conciously counting them...

    Of those who trade full time, how did you start?

    How did you start trading full time? Were you laid off? Did you quit your job after swing trading?

    what am I ?

    What you are talking about does work. Price seems to bounce off a well selected moving average. Rather than buying at the moving average and hoping it will bounce, it's better if you wait untill after it bounces and catch it early. SM

    Is ebay destined to fall and why?

    Ebay will be there until there will be an alternative. There isn't a good alternative yet, but its coming. I too wish Amazon or Google would take them on. My guess is that Ebay will start feeling real pain when the hobbiests start/find niche internet portals. Like coin collectors will...

    Why aren't all genius's rich?

    Who said we're not? :) I haven't read any of the responses, and I'm sure this has been said, but Genius takes many forms. I know musical geniuses that can't do math to save their lives. And this stuff is more like math than music. I had a friend in highschool who scored in the upper...

    CTS T4 Webtrader has trailing stop...does it work?

    Kudos for reading my post. I am a small trader and they added a trailing stop to their webtrader because I asked them to. Thats not apathy, is it? Now can you go away so that someone with real knowledge can answer my post? SM

    Trading and Dating/social status

    You got to sell it. Most women won't have a clue about it or where it sits on the social spectrum. Heck, if you don't know, why should they? So sell it. Tell them its the best thing since sliced bread and they should thank their lucky stars to be associated with a badass like you. This...

    CTS T4 Webtrader has trailing stop...does it work?

    Hey all, CTS just put a trailing stop on their T4 webtrader platform. Its brand new and(to their credit) it just might be there because I sent them an e-mail asking for it. :D My problem is that it doesn't work in papertrade mode. Does it work on the real thing? (note: I know it...

    Tradingjournals Quest... Turn $100 To $100K or To Ash

    Can you rephrase that? And if one knew that price would rise, why leverage it only by a factor of 1? Why not 50?
