Short AMGN Entry: 51.96 Stop 52.19 Target 51.05 I thought this might be a reversal. Instead it turned out to be a pullback. I got stopped out. I should have at least waited to see if it broke the trendline before entering, which it didn't. I also should have noticed that there was a lul...

I believe that cow tipping is pushing them over. I don't think you would try this with a bull.

The Island Commercial This guy has a ton of computers allover the place and is trading like a madman. The computer setup looks cool, but I can't imagine anyone trading like that. Which ET trader did they model that commercial after? Mike

The slower DSL speed should be just fine. I'm using 512 X 128 and it works great. Most cable connections are also pretty good. Your problem may actually be out of your Cable provider's control. In any case, I would ping the server that you are talking to. 50ms or less is good. Call your cable...

Gets my vote!

I guess you don't like pain after all. Hope you're feeling better. Mike

Long GNTA (Usual Suspects) Entry:14.40 Stop:14.17 low of previous pullback Target:15.75 (Upper BB) and below opening The price had bottommed twice at ~13.81 and then traded up forming an assending triangle, with support just under 14.50. Instead of breaking out the price broke down and I...

D'ya_think, I have a good friend who is overweight. Over the years he has dieted and lost weight and eventually gained it back. Every time he starts on a diet, he says something like "I've lost 40 lbs. How do I look?" I always say something negative like "You have another 40 to go" or "It...

D'ya_think, The question has already been answered. If you want to call yourself a trader, cut your losses, swear to yourself that you will never be this stupid again, and learn from your mistake. Otherwise you are an investor and probably will never become a trader. I don't mean to rub...

Two-way satellite has inherent latency problems. This is because of the distance from the earth to the satellite and the angular trajectory to the sat. A packet goes from you to the sat, then from the sat back to earth. The response packet does the same. Typical latency is 750 to 1500...

I think you mean the reverse. Find your stop loss based on prior support/resistance. Likewise with the target. Then calculate Risk/Reward ratio.

Don, Thanks for your input. I really want to kick myself now that its trading over 35.50. Does anyone have copy of Tony's Stock Trading Wizard that they want to part with? Please PM me. Thanks, Mike

I took INVN at 33.06. I took it because it traded down and then sideways, found support just above 33, while the futures were still declining. Stop was 32.95 and target was 34.00. I got stopped out at 32.90. The stock is now tradigng higher. In retrospect, I should have waited until the...

Candle, I just pulled out my 12 guage and shot the rabbit!! I missed the turtle. Unfortunately, I destroyed one of my monitors. Thanks, Mike

candleTrader, Nice animated gift. Is there some way to make it stop after a few seconds. It's a little much to look at so early in the morning. Mike

AAA I assume you mean that you could not get intraday for more than a couple days back. I don't know but I'm sure that Esignal Tech support will contact you. They are monitoring the board very closely. By the way, it looks like SBSA broke resistance today. What was your gut feeling? Break...

A reliable source told me that this is because one of the original developers of Advanced GET is now working for Esignal. Mike

AAA, SBSA Its higher than average volume. Meeting resistance at the upper BB and previous highs. Narrow spread < .10 Might make a good short canidate with a tight stop. I personally would not feel comfortable - In FEAR of a GAP UP tommorow. I would not know how to mange the stop...
