So what are your average win loss trades in terms of $ ?

Yeah ive got a credit spread on VLO that expires in Sep. Just got confused because of 5 Firdays this month and wanted to make sure. Thanks for the help.

Options expiration for Sep contracts is on the 15th this month right?

You so crazzzyyyyyyyy:D

Ok thanks I was just making sure I could trade 6 times a week between the 2 and not just 3 since each account only has 10K now.

I have 2 separate trading accounts at 2 diff brokers but the equity in each account does not meet the minimum 25k for the pattern daytrader status. Does anyone know if each account is limited to 3 day trades in a 5 day period or if those 3 day trades are split up between the 2 accounts...

Wait for prices to regress back to your 2 longest MA's if they regress to them and then close back below then short. If they break through and start moving above them then go long if the trend does not look to be stalling out. Use 14 ADX to measure the strength of the trend at that point.

Good to know there are a few of us around ATL I have not been able to find anyone else around here for years. Guess I was just looking in the wrong place.

Im in Kennesaw

Any traders in or near Atlanta GA?

How are the charts and technical indicators on IB? Can you customize the lengths of indicators or are they set to specific figures you cant change?

Thanks for introducing me to that man never thought to use it. It just got me out of a long PEP position with a nice profit :D

Truff: What length ADX do you use and for what time period?

Ive been using a Slow Sochastic for a while now and wanted so see how many other use the Stochastic to support their entry and exit decisions? If you do what time periods do you use it on and what lengths do you have the K% and D% set at? Thanks for the feedback

But 3 lines are so pretty :D

In my experience I like how EMA's seem to smoothly transition from one trend to another. Thats why I use 3, when the stock is trading in a trend they move in waves from one trend to another and when there is no clear trend they remained tangled with each other and keep you out of the market...

It was actually -$445 preopen today. Thats still alot for a stupid trade to begin with.

Talk about getting lucky, I was shorting a couple hundred shares of HAL yesterday with an average price of 74.18. Was going to dump it at the open today at the 75.60 price but found some poor sap in extended hours to take it off my hands at 74. Man was I lucky =) Dont know what I was thinking...

Does anyone know which brokers do and dont charge you margin interest for having a short position overnight even when your cash balance covers it? Ex Cash balance $50,000, short position value $10,000

I use it to support a 3 MA crossover system but ive found that for shorting when K mooves under D and then closes below 60 is a good time to go short. You exit when K mooves back above D or closes above 40. On the long site when K mooves above D and then closes above 40 is a good entry for a...
