I wouldn't say it does. If your model was adapt at coming in just when the price was moving up, and at it's fastest pace to boot, you wouldn't be waiting so long to see 15% moves, and you wouldn't have the losses at all. Maybe you meant to write, "that's what my quantitative model tries to...

My comments. Your last paragraph is pompous. Insofar as the premise you pose, any sell off, on bad news or fundamentals, is a sell off, no matter the reason why. If you're in long, why not get out with either a small loss or a bit of profit? Put the money to work elsewhere where a stock isn't...

I didn't request a thing. I suggested. And you didn't follow my suggestion anyway, instead used it as an excuse to post in the same vein I was suggesting you didn't.

Might I make a suggestion? I just read your post on another thread where you state you trade your brother's IRA and that he's "up 60% this year". Why don't you post similarly for yourself? That is to say, you're always with the '40 consecutive winners of 15% or better since jan 02', so why not...

You make the paperwork sound intimidating. I've opened several accounts after establishing a FA account. I print out the paperwork, get them signed and send it in. No big deal. It's just a handful of documents to establish the FA account, that's all it takes. Though the FA account is in your...

To do as you say, there is another "skill" necessary along with identifying stocks that will outperform the market. And that would be being able to outlive the amount of time you need to hold. But that presuposses you can identify stocks that, not may, but "will" outperform the market, as you...

The problem I have with looking at a chart with an MA is that because of the constant reconfiguration that the depicted MA line has made throughout the time span of the chart, it doesn't really tell me what the configuration was at the time when any point in that chart was at the hard right...

Click on the ask and a order data line will appear to set up a buy. There's a drop down menu to select the order type, then set the prices and number of contracts accordingly.

Haven't I seen this movie before? dgabriel: Bravo. Post it your way. If you can keep from crude comments about certain other posters though, that would be appreciated. grob109: certainly make commentary too about the posts, but could you keep yourself from overrunning the intent of the...

In general, if you insist on using MAs, I'd suggest you wait until very near or after the close of your bar to better ascertain if indeed the position has crossed the MA or not.

at aholes@cme.com, but not between 5:30 and 6.

"ask him if the ET boot stuck up his ass is uncomfortable or not, hehehe" and "If you can't find Jack, call 1-800-GET-GURU. Press #2 for trading mentorship." is criticism? There's not a speck of critique in that. They are crude one-sided comments that you're now attempting to spin as criticism...

The SEC mandates that the aggregate amount under your control be less than 25 million, and that you have a small number of accounts. for most of us, we fly with that requirement. Just also check with your Dept of State to see your State's limit on the number of accounts you're permitted to trade...

To wait until your stop gets hit in order to know that the trade is not working out is a costly way to hear what the market is telling you. Think of stops in terms of damage control in the event of surprises and gaps. Wide stops that only get tagged under worst case scenarios. So they can be far...

IB says they absorb the fee.

Because ultimately, I had no other proof on hand that would substantiate my claim of when the tow was conducted. I had to travel round trip 100 miles and give up a day to take care of this matter and for the amount in dispute, it wasn't worthwhile to give up another day and travel another 100...

I got screwed up timewise twice by people not accurately assigning the date/time of early AM events, so please don't take this personally. Daylight savings time ends 2:00 AM, EST, Sunday morning, not the night of Saturday, Oct 25. 24 hour days end at midnight. The first time, I was...

I believe it's limited to one symbol per page. You can't change it. You can't delete it. You have to delete the page.

That's exactly the twist in the joke I was making. Even boldfaced the twist for emphasis. It wasn't about you, and it wasn't about paying less without the guarantee. You got the twist I made, but you didn't see how that twist was meant as humorous.

Maybe they're looking to get some long at a better price.
