If you are a trader you can make money out of this volatility. I must say that although I made far fewer trades this week I actually made money. The volatility in this market (400 point intraday swings) is where the money is made if you know what to look for and cut your losses in a heart...

In the bubble days when Barnes and Noble came with their IPO of barnesandnoble.com I was that <i><b>one guy</B></I> who scooped up the shares on the opening day @ $25 a share. I sold at about $18 and today it trades at $0.82 cents. That was by far the worst trade of my life. I actually...

Super_Ego, I love to bet on the underdog! :cool:

on this thread and I must say that 'Super_blabber_mouth_with_an_even_bigger_ego' has not said one thing I did not know before I started to read this entertaining thread. I hope that after all this hoopla you have something meaningful to say... CT :cool:

I figured my life was over and since I dind'nt have the balls to kill myself... I got married... :(

chart.

of gapdown and runup? I have been watching it for a week but have not tried to play it. Have other charts like these? Comments? :cool:

If you only want to trade LONG three times per week try this. If you use a charting software go hunting for the stocks that have unfilled gap down and high percentage drop for the week. Out of those look for the ones with the strongest reversals (or up trend) on the charts. If you know...

futurecurrents, Could you please send it overnight Fedex and send me the bill? :D

For WebFN live (much better than CNBC, IMHO) https://www.mediacenter.etrade.com/ For text news: http://finance.lycos.com/home/news/default.asp http://moneycentral.msn.com/investor/market/home.asp http://www.nasdaq.com/briefing/stock_summary.stm These have proven helpful for...

If something big is going on in the markets I flip to it. And I must say that the comercial I hate the most is the one for TDwaterhouse, where that dying old man talks like he is about to catch heart attack telling evryone that td is not a cristal ball. That and the one from Brown &co.

I can say from experience that Daytrading without rules and without an understanding of the forces at work within the market for stocks, options or any other traded instrument, IS A RANDOM EVENT. If on the other hand you are using a charting system or a tape system where you have an...

a personal office with two PCs a few minutes away and a backup laptop at home. But I think home is better. I have the discipline to work from home but my 20 month old daughter that likes to jump all over my desk, scream at will and randomly smack the keyboard does not let me. It all...

SEVERELY long so tomorrow will be a challenge if this thing goes south. If, on the other hand, we get a reversal rally I will make some nice MULA. Let's see how it shakes.

I am sure you are not the only one considering this right now. Today, no doubt, is a terrible day. Everything I followed today went the opposite way and I am down a chunk. But I think that it is important to keep some perspective. Everyone has draw downs in their accounts and you must be...

not long ago. As someone said; my heart goes out to all the overnight shorts. Lets see what shakes in the morning. :cool:

I defected to Qcharts and I have no complaints. (Check out my other post on Qcharts) I am paying about $93 a month but I get the whole enchilada. L2, T&S and island book ive charts with historical data all the chart tools I need no limit on symbols list off all market trending...

Actually, this morning around 10:30 am it did suddenly slow down. What I did was to log out and close the program and then open it again and it was back to normal. It's been working fine ever since. Maybe you should try closing and opening the program again. Good luck. :cool:

I was busy all sunday afternoon creating a similar setup than what I had with QQL for QCharts. I thought that once the trading day started I was going to run into problems with the feed, but that was not the case. In reality not only was the feed good the data was solid. Fast data, no...
