Wouldn't it be funny if all of these people who we think of as being knowledgable and wise about trading were complete hacks and couldn't trade their way out of a wet paper bag. I demand to see some brokerage statements before I go on name-dropping and praising others around here...who's with me? :p

For me, Anekdoten and holy grail have been particularly generous with their knowledge and have helped me as a trader.

First time posting here. I plan to continue as I transition to full time trading.

Then how do you explain their daily P/L? They record actual fills and factor in commission. They appear to be steadily collecting cash....what am I missing?

Ever checkout the hunt club? Looks like a pretty kick ass place.

I'm moving up to Chicago soon. Where's a good place to meet fellow traders in the downtown area?

Peter Lynch. Kind of a long term investment book...good info but not much help to short term traders.

LOL This guy thought I was serious and sent me an e-mail. Classic.

Well shit I don't know about you guys but I'm sold! Go ahead and post the wiring instructions I'll have my bank take care of it first thing tomorrow.

My advice is to go out and find a stock on your own and buy it for whatever reasons you think it will go up. I've made the mistake of taking "tips" from others and to be honest, I'd rather be able to hold myself accountable for losing money than just blaming someone else for being wrong. You'll...

day just give it up man and get short. you'll make some money and we can all stop listening to your whining.

need any employees? :)

From what I take it day has been long recently and is probably pretty bitter after today's trading day so you should probably disregard his unhelpful and sarcastic post. Hopefully on a more helpful note, you want to look for stocks with good volume and tight spreads. Slippage is a big issue if...

I personally have limited experience and screen time w/ index futures but I've heard 11:45-1:45 is a good time to stay out because of chop and lower volume for lunch.

Ouch, At the end of the day which sucked more....saying goodbye to 30k or the being married part?. :)

I'm a bit biased on the housing issue since the appraisal I ordered came in today and I'm well pissed off about the numbers so I vote 7.5. If a democrat wins office make it a 9.

Since I didn't trade that live I don't have a good answer for that. A combination of watching price action and judging by the previous high possibly?. Maybe HolyGrail can post what size stops he uses for these trades since he seems to have it figured out pretty good.

Dropped 200 bucks in a couple hours at some bar in Puerto Vallarta a couple spring breaks ago. A combination of being cheap and in college makes that a decent chunk of change for me. Wouldn't have minded so much but the hot sorority chicks from Iowa that helped me put a dent in my credit card...

Today yielded another pretty good example of what I'm talking about. Notice the first 4 pushes upward making higher highs. When the 4th push fails to reach the previous high it provides an ideal entry for a short.

Typical woman overspending.
