    Are stops a complete joke ?

    Thanks for the replies all. NoDoji, you're correct, I think I pulled the trigger to soon, as a part of me wants to catch the entire move. Argh, its hard to kick this habit :-( Deadbroke: placing your stop that low exposes you to a large loss (3-5% + difference of entry price). How many times...

    Are stops a complete joke ?

    What the hell ! I know people tend to cluster their stops around s/r and lowest lows, but it seems whenever I set a stop well below these points (~2%), I get stopped out with the price dipping below my stop by a couple of cents and then shooting up. I've been correct almost every time but stops...

    Can I use a TV screen instead of multi monitors ?

    Just in case you think Sony's are to expensive, you generally get what you pay for. I took this pic less than an inch from my older Sony Bravia. Even with the JPEG compression you can see how clear the text is. In real life the text looks glossy like each webpage is a magazine (eg, think...

    I have a 52" Sony Bravia and a 42" Sony Bravia that I use as my monitors and they work extremely well (eg: perfect ! ). I only sit about 2 ft away currently (in the picture below at my old place, I sat about 3-4ft away), and am able watch HD videos on hbo.com or youtube or Vimeo.com and it...

    WTF ? Cant believe market is going up like this !!!

    I know most on here would say just to trade what you see and not what you think, but I constantly see the market starting to go down and then its pushed right back up. I'd love to do more swing trading, but I'm also wondering when the rug will be pulled out and we have a massive freefall...

    Dow 7000, is about to happen !

    All the pieces are in place. One of my most reliable systems shows that we are literally at the edge now, teetering over slightly. The close of the DOW today will seal the deal. Here is what this system is predicting. The DOW will see another heavy sell off for the month of September. We...

    Successful Swing traders, how do you get past this ?

    I'm thinking of switching to Swing trading, as day trading has literally become a black hole of time sucking craziness. So the $64 question is, how do successful swing traders guard against drawdowns ? Do you just use wider stops (I would guess this is the answer) ? What do you do when...
