That's such a hypothetical question. I know traders that focus on small groups (the homebuilders are the current fav of my colleagues). It seems so limiting to me to focus on 3 or fewer stocks. If you are looking for volume break-outs or other pattern based strategies it's a must that you scan a...

There is a piece in this week-end's Barrons claiming that a lot of hedge funds now use ETFs as their favorite vehicle to sector rotate rapidly. The point was also made that ETF volume has been climbing rapidly over the last several months. With the exception of a handful of ETFs (qqq, spy, dia...

If I know that then I can help.

Has anybody read Kiev's "The Psychology of RisK"? A 300 odd page book that, no kidding, could have been done in say 3 pages. But you have to slog through 99% of drudgery to get to the 1% nugget of wisdom. Oliver Velez' book (the Pristine guy) is another egregious offender. In this site I...

I know of a trader who does nothing but trade off redi-plus high end (not their standard crap news) service which costs about $200 per month. He swears by it... just FYI

A hot dog stand operator provides a service albeit a dubious one of plying his or her customers with mystery sausage cooked unhygienically for a bargain. His or her motive? I think its to make a living in a legal way rather than to satisfy hungry people. Similarly and more controversially, a...

I've got to believe broadband is available to businesses in Dublin! How do the banks, tech companies etc. get anything done without it? No T-1/T-3 lines? Maybe its there but just not accessable to individuals except at exorbitant prices? Also, sorry this is a bit off topic: there was a board...

If so I'm interested - I'm curious to know what its like to trade from Ireland in particular. My family has a 2nd home there, and were are from there. I understand Dublin to be very financial services friendly, a benign tax regime and and good tech infrastructure. This is what I hear though its...

to borrow from Jim Cramer (or was it his "trading Godess" wife who said it?)

Barron's reported last Saturday that there was yet another net outflow from US equities for the week ended Wednesday - data supplied from AMG data services. This is a tapering off of fund outflows relative to previous weeks but none the less an outflow. Some other talking head in same said...

I have Tradestation 6 on my home computer and Neovest's First Alert at work. The latter allows you to click on a symbol from your watchlist and the corresponding chart or charts (you can have several charts covering different timeframes tied to your single symbol) pop up. You also can have the...

I use this as my virtual hard drive for my work that I use at the office, at home or my notebook computer when I'm on the road. Its also a way of sharing large files such as multiple big spreadsheets (and mp3s etc. for that matter that don't email well). Kazaa and Morpheus have privacy issues...

I have a considerable amount of cash still there. Should I be worried? I belive it falls below the SIPC insured amount. Either way, based on what I just read I'm pulling it out. Any comments are welcome. Thanks, and more than just a little worried.

I use Windows 2000 Pro and XP non-Pro on my home PCs (networked). I have problems with neither but I find Windows 2000 Pro less "nanny-like" i.e. it does not treat the user like an imbecile and allows you more direct acces to the networking features of the program. XP Home edition gives you...

I agree on the phony scripted banter on CNBC, no doubt they were trying to re-create the actually real banter between Joe Kernen and David Faber or whoever you put next to Kernen. It didn't work though. They have a relatively new Producer on CNBC which explains a lot Regarding "I believe in...

This is advocated by Larry MacMillan in his books (he still thought it was the best on the market as of the last NY online trading expo). Larry is a well known option trader and author on the subject. As far as I can tell he is a fairly highly regarded individual. I got the trial subscription...

I'm from Ireland (hold a UK passport) by way of background. Here is what I found out about this. (I'll speak to the UK in a moment). Ireland has put in place very progressive legislation designed to encourage the establishment of financial service companies in general and hedge funds in...

You missed the point - what I' described was more akin to going back over my trades of the day to see what I would have done if I followed my own rules that day. I don't advocate paper trading per se.

In particular I second your opinion on being able to justify every entry and especially every exit. In order to get this down, every night I print out 2 minute charts of the stocks I traded that day and paper trade them (after the fact) and then compare that to my actual trading during the...
