    Traders make money, but here is how some traders make serious money

    If you put $5000 into a prop account and then buy $1 million worth of stock you could lose your $5000 in about 3 minutes. I think the original poster meant you start with $10,000 and turn it into $50,000 year in year out. I have no idea why anyone with any method at all would trade at a...

    Always Profitable Trading System

    I always ask the same question..........if it works, especially with no risk, why wouldnt they just trade a milliion dollars....make $100k a week.....and not deal with the admin of selling a book for $200 at a time and dealing with the closet knuckleheads who couldnt trade if they had tomorrows...

    Time Series Prediction and Neural Networks

    Thats why I wouldnt relie on time predictions...actually, predicting anything is a waste of time. If you are 5 minutes off.....the SP can run five points during that five minutes making your entry a loser.

    Time Series Prediction and Neural Networks

    I guess I got a little off topic. My method really doesnt predict time....I would never try to do that. One thing I do look at is the length of a cycle. The next cycle often tends to be the length of the previous cycle. I just wait until a down cycle has exhausted itself and then look to...

    Time Series Prediction and Neural Networks

    That is the way I m trying to trade. I have 7 charts and only one of them shows the price. And the only reason that one chart shows the price is so I see the previous highs and lows and sometimes the bands. I could trade without seeing the price at all.....and would probably do better...

    What if the market just crawls down???

    One of the things I look at before entering a trade is how the market behaved on the cyle previous to the one I am considering entering. If it just bladed up or down, I am aware that the next move may blade in the opposite direction. Since the markets have generally crawled up for the past...

    leading Indicators, in before everyone else

    Ummmm didnt CL/Qm go up $2 yesterday as the market ran up as well? By opposite....do you mean the opposite of what everyone thinks....sorta like George Costanza tried once? Or is it the opposite of the opposite which means it would have the opposite result eevry other time?

    Is this really happening

    So.............a ten percent move in 2 months isnt excessive? So we should expect the market to go up 60% a year forever...... Cool

    Pyramiding

    Doesnt pyramiding only work in trends...which admittedly we are in now. If the market bounces around rather than dropping like a rock before an inevitable turn.....wont you be buying the additional contracts right before they drop?

    How does selling options affect margin?????

    Thanks I did notice that. The premium on the 72 option seemed to be only $1.50 and that is for a call that is 3 months out and $4 in the money. And I am with you on calling tops....but my method is telling me this may be it, everything is telling me these will be good but I do use tight...

    How does selling options affect margin?????

    I know we are all sick of people calling tops......but a lot of my charts are telling me that things are 2-3 weeks from going down. With that being said, I would prefer to sell options short to enter. I would rather have the time premium work for me rather than against me. Can someone...

    Disillusioned

    I am not sure where this thread has gone since inception but I am equally disillusioned but for a different reason. My method works extremely well and I have about an 80% win rate on live trades. The problem is I have almost no cash after riding out most of the brutal learning curve...
