good analysis, the most critical event is still the rate cut, i really think a 50 bps is needed to prevent another selloff. We will see, looking to exit most positions tomorrow as well.

heh no i dont WANT a 5% return trading bot, was just curious if such thing existed. Looks like the research is much further than expected, what i like about trading bot from the limited reading done so far is they have very good apis hooked into various trading platforms, while the poker bots...

1) No bankruptcy 2) Forward looking statement - profitability by end of year 3) No massive account/fund exodus 4) Greater than expected current quarter loss hovering at 4 AH. Shorts are screwed tomorrow, hope for a massive market wide correction is your only way out.

just slightly above what you would get putting money in one of those high yield saving account. i think it would be an accomplishment if there is a bot that can consistently get >5% annually over a period of few years.

Is there really a profitable automated trading system / bot? I mean with a proven >5% return of 1-2+ years. If yes, then why havent all the wallstreet firms with their billions of dollars using it? I am a senior system developer (j2ee, database, etc..) professionally and have spent quite...

hi, i justed paper trading scalping 2 days ago too. But how do you get a chart that's less than 1 min? I use ThinkOrSwim desktop software, which from my understanding is designed for daytraders, but the charts they have only go down to 1 min. How do you to lower than 1 min interval? Even...

After some research, i want to day trade focusing as a scalper, it seems to suit my personality the best. Signed up with ThinkOrSwim and their desktop software seems to be good, sure is a heck a lot better than optionsxpress, fidelity or any of those retail brokerage. Anyway i am still at...

is tim in the video trading futures? how the hell did he make 350k in 1 day?

Or rather, who cares even if he could prove it? is he going to give me half? No? Then stfu, noone cares.

agreed, if the market is still a trainwreck like it is now, we are in deep shit. Hopefully i would have all my longs closed by then :D

well i think today 75 cut would caused a huge rally if not for the previous 2 day market crash around the world...but then if the world markets didnt crash we wouldnt get the 75 cut...chicken and egg..hmm Anyway as long as we get some kind of cut, even 25bps it would be good at the next fed...

The bears were right, it WOULD been a bloodbath, as evident by the market open -400 pt drop even with the 75 bps cut. But eventually cooler heads and bargain hunters prevailed. I think the market will be ok this week, maybe even a little bullish. It's now the shorts turn to be nervous for a...

I will start by saying i am long and believe in a major come back sometime in the future as the market is definitly due for a rebound. But just looking at tomorrow, how can anyone believe the market will be anything but a bloodbath? ALL markets around the world basically crashed, US futures...

thanks guys, have been reading the forum, especially that thread subjected "Trading fulltime retail with $50k" by wiseman was very interesting. That book list is exactly what i am looking for, going through them now. :D

sorry i am a little confused, are those generic books about trading? Is there a book that specifically deals with daytrading only? or is there no such thing. thanks

hi there, yes i understand nothing beats experience and will definitly be staring at the screens for a long time. But first, i really do need to read a book or 2 just to get the very basics down, i am not going to understand how to interpret the intraday chart movements etc..without knowing the...

Hi, i am looking for suggestions on resources for daytrading, basically to get started. Have been doing long term (1-12months holding period) stock/option trading for a while and made some money, but they have always bugged me. After much thought, i think my personality is much more suited...

I am an ebay powerseller too, and have tried many different alternatives but in the end, there is still no comparison. Ebay's fees are a complete ripoff i agree, but my items still have way more bids/views when listed on ebay vs any other sites. What alternatives are there?

dont forget skype. I have been using it for a while and am a true believer in its technology. I think ebay is finally figuring out how to make money off it now though with cheap monthly fee + your own number. I think by end of the year they will start making money off skype. Btw anyone...

why all the fuss? If you still want to use their service after 14 days then no complaints. if not, then call credit card and get them to do a chargeback. It's almost guarenteed you will get your money back in this situation.
