Who gives a shit. Get back to the point of the OP.

This selloff is very orderly. Remember last year in August, everything was sold. There was nothing that was green on certain days. Same for January this year. Today, there were plenty of equities in the green. This is not the same type of panic selling that requires fed intervention. It's just a...

Who cares about the definition of a "scalper". I understand what the OP's goal of this thread is. If you start a chat room, I might be interested. It's always good to have more than one set of eyes on the market. A thread, or message board has too much lag. Start a chat. I would be willing to...

Different strokes for different folks. This type of market is where I thrive, I've been making a lot of money. But when we got those melt-up markets like April-May, the profits get a little thin. So, don't complain, learn what you trade well and sit it out when the market is not tradeable to you.

It doesn't really matter. The key to finding a short squeeze is high short interest and a rising price pattern. If the stock is falling like a rock, the shorts are typically right and will support their conviction.

I concur.

Market is oversold. You better be careful. It could fall hard, but it could also break upwards hard. The risk/reward to even trade here is not good for either side.

If I have a trade on and am convicted to it, but the market is going against and I know it's a head fake, I will add too it. But then again, i usually don't throw max size on an initial position. I like to leave room to add to a position since it's highly unlikely to get in at the exact top...

I prefer QID as the inverse etf to short qqqq's. If your broker doesn't have shares available to short, just buy this. Also, ditch your broker, if they can't find shares to short on such a liquid etf, they're not worth using.

That's BS, some stocks may have elevated IV levels caused by internal issues completely separate from the overall market. You have to use a pay service that has a database of historical volatility information to chart. I've never found a free service that provides this. I have one that I use...

Good choice. Better to live to fight another day.

That chart looks like a double top, and the recent test of the MA has confirmed the downtrend.

The US hasn't bought the oil from Iran in ages. Plus they have sour crude that no one wants right now.

Advice: move on to something else. Don't put your money to risk in something that is about to be shut down. It's not a stock that is going to go from .88 to 10. It's not a lottery ticket.

The US is inflating the emerging countries out of buying power to help offset the current account deficit in the long run. Since they stopped re-cycling their dollars into the financial account and started buying commodities, they are being spanked. The Eurozone knows this, so they are holding...

You know the funds are pushing this thing to 150. Why get in early? You will have to go through some major pain before you see results. It may pull back a buck or 2 on Monday, but MS, and GS are crapping all over congress right now. You don't want to get in the way.

What are they smoking. When unemployment turns it usually turns for a while. To me, this is signaling economic data is going to start turning negative. JPM, GS, MS all pumping crude and dumping stock, they want their clients to be the bagholders.

Smoke some good weed, get nice and relaxed. Then the next day trade 3x your normal size on a good setup.

This is the type of market I live for. The problem here is that you really have to have tape reading skills. You have to be able to know what's moving the markets and when the buy programs will come in to support certain positions. Hint, today C was being propped up at 21. Anything below that...

This pattern may have something to it, look at the market down hard today. I will probably start incorporating this pattern into my strategy.
