The pairs trading group I worked with for a short time would look at similar stocks and the price ratio of them over the last few years. Buy / sells would be placed based on this ratio reaching extremes. The hold time was for weeks so it was more investing than trading. I've tried applying...

Unless they've changed it you watch a video then answer questions about the video. True or False - the branch manager paying for hookers on his lunch hour with client's funds was a breach of trust.... The one piece of advice I can give you is the more correct answers you get the quicker...

I feel like I should respond since I posted the link, but I can't help you on how they go about their calculations. Basically I just used the site to find names to run through the model where I was working.

I don't trade pairs anymore, but when I did this website was a good resource for correlated stocks - www.impactopia.com Click on the link under USA Equities and you can enter a symbol and find what stocks may trade well with it.

I did a search on Ebay, found it. Tried to copy the url here, but it didn't link correctly. Give Ebay a shot. Also, the spelling was Keuffel & Esser on Ebay.

I trade the ER2's with a mechanical system's signal, but entry the trades manually. I trade 10 lots at a time, when I get a signal I put 5 in at the bid and 5 in at the offer (doesn't matter if it's a buy or sell). 5 get filled, I give it 30 seconds to a minute and then switch the other 5 to a...

Was there a rumour it had slipped out early or something like that? I worked on the Merc and CBOT floors years ago, I'd believe just about anything.

My understanding is that F (January) was made F for First month. I was told that my first day as a runner many years ago. You go in order after that and try to avoid letters that could be mistaken as numbers on hand written tickets.

U of M Confidence - 1/20 - 8:45 central (off bloomberg)

I've had a Bloomberg for over 10 years and never used it to monitor upgrades and downgrades. In fact after reading this I tried (briefly) to see if there was an automated way to do this. You can set up a news screen that monitors upgrades / downgrades, but it's not very well organized. I've...

I have to agree with this 100%. I paid a pro about a grand for my 2002 and 2003 returns only to get audited both years. For my 2004 return I used turbo tax, even taking some deductions the pro accountant told me I couldn't, and everything went smoothly.

I see one fill at 47.71 @ 08:30:24 , lowest print before that was 46.76 a couple of times, the highest was 46.90.

I really should send this in a PM, but what the heck.... I delivered pizza with a master's degree and traded during the day. On really bad days I can see driving my beat up nissan for tips in my future.

I would suggest a night job that allows you to watch the market during trading hours. I've been in your position (many years ago) and felt that it wasn't possible to get a good feel for the market on a part time basis.

I found this website pretty helpful for finding pairs of stocks to trade - www.impactopia.com

I came up against the same problem for my profits in euros. Basically you need to sell your yen through their system. Use the symbol JPY and hit cash as your choice. It should be pretty easy from there, but the spread looks pretty ugly right now. I don't know if that's common since I've...

I was hoping someone else would go first.... I trade 10 at a time with very little problem. I send 5 out on the offer, 5 out on the bid. Give myself a little time and then commit the 5 that doesn't get filled immediately. I'm still working on a plan for next year, but I'm almost certain...

It depends on what software you are using. I'd consult their help files or help line.

My mother in law once asked me if I were a 'day trader' in a tone that sounded like she didn't approve. I told her no, I was a swing trader. For some reason she liked the sound of that.
