    Swing/Position Trades

    AFFX setting up long on trend reversal. Broke both 50 & 200 dma. DMI crossover up. Threatening to break downtrend line. I prefer to buy on a pullback or a move out of consolidation so if there is stasis here an Inverted H&S is constructed and could be bought (or sold short) when it moves out...

    Swing/Position Trades

    Its been a while since I saw so many ugly charts. A few short candidates: MYGN MYL if they resume down SEMI Cap Eq stocks. look like they might crack soon, maybe in the next few days. KLAC has a Fib cluster 61.75-63 it has been bouncing off of. IF it breaks through 56-57 is a chip shot...

    Why Nyse stocks ?????

    Yes, it would seem that 30 was a solid support. But I was not speaking to that directly. When Lincoln's Cabinet criticized Grant for being drunk too much, Lincoln responded, "Find out what whiskey he drinks and send a case to each of my Generals" As amusing as this is, drunken warriors...

    Why Nyse stocks ?????

    I meant MMs only pushing a stock through a level, but was thinking about both when I was typing. My mistake for rushing my reply. NYSE stocks can take abrupt jumps when crossing over s/r levels and that's why I never place a market order when they approach a level or have a market stops

    Why Nyse stocks ?????

    s/r levels on some NYSE stocks can cause unusual price swings when violated, because the specialist will exploit the conditions when they exist. I am sure many traders have seen NYSE stocks with an average spread of .1 - .2 for example, once it breaks an important level either way, will...

    Why Nyse stocks ?????

    I have to chime in and and say that Praetorian2s methods with respect to rest and mental alertness are certainly unorthodox. The less sleep I have, the tougher I find staying with the action, and I think that is probably the norm. I can drink any night, it is the amount of sleep I get that...

    broker stability

    It has happened that clearing firms have gone belly up, leaving customer accounts empty. This is rare, and usually the result of poor oversight on risky trading accounts that have blown up. Remember, some accounts have 10-1 margin.

    Wrong, only at end of year. But its a leap to assume there's to be 70K in gains to offset.

    MM/SP knows Day Traders????????

    Sorry did not read that post. 7K long JNPR?????. Again???? Did you ever hear of going long stocks in uptrends? JNPR is as broken a stock as there ever will be. Maybe it'll move, but I don't understand how you held it for 70K bath Motas, you are not daytrading.

    MM/SP knows Day Traders????????

    You can't learn to daytrade by yourself without serious risk. There are easier and quicker ways to commit suicide. TD Waterhouse is okay if you are not scalping or executing more than a few trades a day, otherwise they are totally inadequate. Plus it sounds like you don't have real time data. An...
