I haven't been following HarryTrader's posts. What am I looking at here? Thanks.

Here is my account. Plugging away... up to $17,232...

After a tumultuous start, I was able to realize $322 and minimize my portfolio exposure (thanks again, AAA) today. As I mentioned above, I bought MVL at the wrong time, but it didn't end up hurting me today as it came back to close where I bought it for a tidy $0 in unrealized gains. I...

Thanks... Are you still bearish on ALKS? I'm considering closing this position and getting into something else. It's not moving the way I would like. I'm only down $55, but why wait until it's down $255.

Hello... I don't use esignal... JT47319 was kind enough to add that chart. Mine was the bland one above it. Good job on your breakouts! I hope you are making some big $$$.

Gary, how do you find your stock plays? Thanks.

I bought 300 MVL @ 19.79 but am disappointed in my entry technique. I did not wait for a pullback from the day's high (which of course we are experiencing now). It looked like it was going to take off, and I got caught up. Another thing to learn from. Overall, I am up about $50 on the...

GRP fell pretty hard but has spent the last five sessions at the same level. I will look for a decided move up and then enter.

MVL has been consolidating and looks like it may fill in the gap. Ignore the word SHORT on the chart. It's an elusive bug in the software I need to recreate and ferret out one of these days.

REGN has been in a 50 cent trading range for the past two days, making the setting of a stop below this level a no-brainer determination. Once it breaks out, there's a bit of room to run.

There certainly have been a lot of stocks jumping lately. It makes me a little nervous about how sharp the selloff may be when it finally arrives. I gave REGN an 80. PDLI, MVL, HGSI, CELG, NVDA, GRP, and TKLC were scored 70s. Let me get a few charts up here.

Sorry for not explaining this... It's Average Daily Range. I don't like the ATR because it counts gaps as part of the bar's range, which I think is misleading. So, the daily range is just the High - Low. The ADR(n) is the average of this number for n days. Thanks for reading.

Here were my executions today. I scaled out of TRAD, as you can see.

For longs, I look for stocks that have been in a strong uptrend (preferably not a bounce from a downtrend). I look for this on the weekly chart. Then I look for a pullback and some consolidation at a certain level, indicating a good support level and a reduced risk of further huge drops. Then...

I agree with funky about IB. Ameritrade, at $20+ per round trip, will chew through your account in no time. I don't use any fancy IB bells and whistles. I do everything through "SMART", meaning it picks the exchange for me. Tony Oz's CDs were worth the money for me. I learned that line...

I liked Tony Oz's books, Alexander Elder's books, Lukeman, Stridsman, Darvis, Tharp, Kaufman, Douglass, Nison, Landry, Lefevre, Crabel, McMillan, Natenburg, Teweles, etc. It's not necessarily that the books are all great from cover to cover, but it's more of immersing oneself in everything to...

Here's my account today. I broke above $17,000. $113 of it is unrealized, but it's a nice feeling nonetheless.

Thanks. I appreciate the post. The lines are placed by the computer at first, if I haven't already placed them on that stock. It places them at the high and low of the last 22 days on the daily chart. I drag them to where I think the entry/target/and stop should be. The computer then...

I am flattered that you used your first post on this board in my journal. I have been trading for almost four years. I have blown out twice before. The first time was buying call options on high flyers at the end of the dot com boom. I hit on a couple, got confident, and turned $17,000...

Great point. Now I'm nervous about my highly exposed portfolio! I am going to see if I can find some kind of industry code on my datafeed and work it in. This is good because I've gone a full 24 hours without making any software enhancements. I'm long overdue. I appreciate your...
