    Spammer. slow, but methodical

    Yes. I am the founder / creator of the CoolTrade system. If you click on my name is says that I am the CEO. If you read my posts yesterday, they were direct answers to direct questions: >>>Is there an automated trading system that does NOT require programming? I said yes there is...

    I have been running automated traders since 2001 and have found no reason to have my computer hosted. I run 6 automated traders on low end computers with 1gb of ram in each, from home, and cannot remember anytime that they were down. For remote access to all of my computers from anywhere...

    I have experimented in the past by placing small stop loss orders at the broker and they get hit regularly. Not so, when they are hidden. I use CoolTrade, and NO orders are floated ahead of time. Ed

    I have been observing this institutional behavior since the 2000 stock market crash. it has probably been going on long before that. I seriously doubt they will ever stop. They don't know how to play poker without seeing your cards! I NEVER submit limit orders or stop losses that are not...

    The usual question: how is it possible?

    Thanks Travis. No offense taken. What is nice about using an ATS is that you don't have to work at it every day. The ATS never forgets the rules, once entered. Then, as you learn more you can tweak the rules, and/or add additional rules. I'm not a slave to the stock market. If I want...

    The usual question: how is it possible?

    First, it is hard for me to talk about stock trading strategies without mentioning the thing I spent 9 years developing to be able to execute the kind of strategies that work. Institutions have been using automated traders for years and it doesn't appear to offend anyone. I don't know what...

    The usual question: how is it possible?

    Travis, I must say I do not agree with arbituarily adding to positions. When you open an initial position it is because you expect the stock to do something (go up or down), but if you (or anyone else) knew 100% for sure what a stock was going to do, you would be richer than Bill Gates. So...

    The usual question: how is it possible?

    You're successful because you worked at it for years and refused to give up because you knew you could do it. You could give away a strategy / system that returns 10% a month and most people will look at the rules in the strategy, criticize the things that go against their "better beliefs"...

    Opposite

    Unfortunately, unless you analyze the trades to see what part of the strategy did not work, you will not know exactly what did not work. For instance, if your Stop Loss or Trailing Stop Loss was too small, you may have just gotten stopped out too quickly and then when the stock went back up...

    Something I have built into my intraday-daytrading system is the EMINIS (S&P 500 Futures Contact). The Eminis must be going up during the last 1 minute for a Long and down for a Short. It is a leading indicator. Ed

    Lost 100K in one month, 50% wiped out, start to write journal

    There are 1000 different strategies you could do to trade the stock market, and neither I nor anyone on these boards can manage your accounts. What stocks you open positions in (Long or Short) is dependent on the strategy that you are going to deploy. It's not just what stocks, but also when...

    Lost 100K in one month, 50% wiped out, start to write journal

    I keep throwing out small suggestions to atleast steer you in the right direction. But watching how you trade is a painful process. I never just close positions without a technical reason. If you go to the CoolTrade website and click on the menu labeled "Stock Trends", you will see 12...

    A few of my Long Watch List rules are: Assets > Liabilities Institutional Ownership > 10% 5-Day SMA > 18-Day SMA Nothing radical, just a few common sense rules to make sure things are pointing up. Ed
