Vkoenig, As fund manager, of course this Thieme is saying to the public : "buy, buy, buy" , ... and guest who is selling?? They are not as dumb as we think they are. The dumbest ones, unfortunatly, are the retails who listen to and follow all those anal-lyst/fund managers'...

Determining stop loss on how many points may not be the best strategies in the long run. After identify an entry point, I 'usually' determine my stop loss on the hi/lo of the previous 5 or 7 min. bar (more or less depending on how I think the market is trending or sideways). If I...

torntech, OptionXpress does not have streaming option quotes, only a static page, you have to refresh to get new quotes. Both my friend and I have a 'funny' feeling with OptionXpress : it seems to us that sometimes, OptionXpress is 'skimping' our orders, e.g. we put a bid at 2.30...

I agreed with trader Dave. Posters could post their trades, and other could gather and discuss it giving constructive comments, but not blatantly shoot it down with no explanations... We're all different, we don't all have the same tolerance to risk, nor same way of trading. It's bad...

Thanks for all the infos... :) and having some beans in a jar on the desk is a neat idea... let's see now... some bacon, ...a goat (or cow) head, ... and a few nuggets of gold should be nice too.... :D Cheers! :p
