I missed the broadcast. Matt is at Broadway Trading.

Harry mentions that he hasn't held overnights these last 2 months. Because of the current situation, I am limiting my overnights to short positions only. Is this a flawed strategy?

kenstl, if your trading is like your humour (regimented and unimaginative), then you're one of the blessed lucky few. I, on the other hand, have this tendency not to accept everything at face value without personally checking the facts first, if that is at all possible. In my younger days this...

candle, granted there is a variety of different traders out there, with different entries, exits, durations etc. However, I think that given access to the trading data for a Nasdaq small-cap, it would be possible to build a weighted averaged trading "profile" after having filtered out...

It is Saturday, a day in which my mind still ponders the machinations of the previous week, while my body is far away. Every so often and especially after bad weeks, against the advice of all good trading books, I wonder about the "conspiracy theory". It is neither new nor original, and every...

tymjr, I was envious when I read your excellent post. I desperately need to introduce some formal methodology and discipline into my trading - it has become way too discretionary. I follow similar principles to those you outline yet I'm certain that the lack of formalization has cost me plenty.

Ed Seykota was the trader who said "everybody gets what they want out of the market". rraman, all the previous posters make good points. The good news is that you're at least fortunate enough to be able to recognize your problems. The bad news is that it's very difficult to overcome - in fact...

ddefina, great point and I fully agree. I have deliberately avoided ranking the 2 brokers that I have/had experience with because of the obviously fake entries, some separated by only a few minutes with similar wording and style, that would appear next to mine. And it's not only competitive...

crazy_trader, they have offices on Broad, Broadway and other places. I believe the WTC operation was a subsidiary of Momentum Securities, LLC (a subsidiary of Tradescape Corp). And I erred, it was the 45th (not 46th) floor.

Thank goodness, http://www.tradescape.com is now responding. I remember visiting them many times on the 46th floor of WTC, and hopefully they didn't suffer any loss of life. The following is on their home page : Emergency Update: Due to the World Trade Center tragedy and the closing of US...

mugshot109, you must be a contrarian trader.

jaan, you're right, the documents and flight manuals all in arabic, which were found in a vehicle near Boston airport, probably belong to some local Berlitz teacher.

Babak, Good point and shall do so in the future. Having said that, I personally do not use the "ignore" function.

dani23 is a new member, this being her second post. In her first post, entitled "Mechanical or Intuitive" which went on to be a highly interesting 5-page thread, she signed off "Greetings from Austria Daniela". So she has some problems with the English language. Strange how everyone understood...

Falcon, quoting from a memorandum my broker sent me : This will not be an intra-day calculation. If your equity falls below $25,000 in the middle of the day, you will not be restricted until the following day. So you can place a stop or do whatever else you please.

A conclusion I reached on August 29, the day of his resurrection, and posted about in the now deleted thread "Metamorphosis of tradeRX". Other giveaways : (i) Repeated usage of ... as a delimiter. (ii) Referred to candletrader as "candle" (as tradeRX did) in a post in "Trading Conditions"...

I called tradex21 a "sad sack of sh*t", not a "sorry sack of sh*t". But this is purely academic, as I've since edited the post.

Positive day, positive month, positive year. Now go and bugger off, too.
