DTWAW I wonder, why you consider the numbers of 200 or 5000 trades as a qualifier for a system of being affected by luck or not ( or as being valid for that matter ). A trader trading QQQ only on weekly signals of a simple MA crossover system ( completely mechanical ) + rigid stop-loss...

Candle, I'd prefer a guy who can do both - pulling the trigger and applying sound planning / risk-management. The pure "pulling the trigger" guys with no trade-management skills lead to the recent developements concerning daytrading in margin accounts and to a few people shot to death, as I...

DTWAW : I think, you mix up 2 things here : Luck and probability. If you take 200 even positions in stocks and hold them for say 30 days, it can easily be, that the gains of 50% winners are not sufficient to cover the losses made on the 50% loosers ( high probability, but still bad luck...

Hi Dottom, just a few thoughts on your reply: I agree when you say, producers have huge advantages in commodities markets. But these advantages are of a different nature than just "fixed" costs or deep pockets. In commodities markets, one has to distinguish between various levels of...

qwiktrade - not much more to add. Nice post ( sad story though ).

Don, I recall having read some of your columns when I was a subscriber to S&C in 1999 / 2000. You make some very good points in your articles and answers in the Q&A series of S&C. I admit, that I don't have the years of experience you have in trading stocks. I do this ( trading stocks )...

BTW : For those looking forward to develop their "personal game-plan" , there's a nice downloadable example ( available as 2.5MB download in *pdf format or as word document) It covers all important aspects of a sound trading plan. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Trading_Plan_Wozzat files...

Don - which magazine ?

Hello Don, I agree with your statement. When I said, that skilled traders do have a plan, I meant, that this does plan does include the fact, that markets cannot be predicted and do what they want to do. Having a plan doesn't necessarily mean, to trade only ones personal believes or...

Hi luck is , imho, something that comes out of the blue. One has absolutely no influence about "luck " - it's simply an event that happens from time to time. ( or maybe not for some ). Trading is what I call a probability game, and it has nothing to do with luck at all. There are...

Babak : unfortunately, this is not quite true ! The only things you really can do from any PC with net-access are, to change some settings in your account or to initiate transfers. Trading through TWS / JTWS is simply not possible on any PC. I.e. you can't access TWS or the browser based...

Neo : "I CAN risk 100, h** I can even risk 2000$ if it'lll give me enough time to learn the market basics and systems and stuff. " If you loose 2K of your 4K, you need to make 100% on your remaining capital to just break even. Not to mention, that it's even harder to make some money with...

"It's obvious capital is a problem. Can you take a loan out Neo? My opinion is it's better to take out a loan at 10 percent instead of playing with too little capital which almost guarantees a loss. And if you're still too nervous...paper trade! Build up a solid record and then you'll be much...

Hi kenstl QQL yeah, that's what 14 day free trials are good for - checking out every aspect of the software. For the money QQL charges, it's still one of the best packages around, especially since they introduced some features I suggested to them from my experience with Qcharts. RQ ...

The following lists are derived from the 500 most active or important US stocks. Here you have 100 Stocks with an ATR ( 10days ) of at least 2 USD/day - ranked from highest ( 4.61 ) to lowest ( 2.01 ). I prefer to calculate a relative trading range rather than static one. A highly...

"quicken livecharts - no power whatsoever. can't adjust study parameters (i.e. can't change the period of a moving average)." Kenstl - you can adjust almost every chart study in QQL. You have to use "edit template" and then you can alter whatever indicator or other settings you want Periods...
