Art, thanks for the thread. I appreciate the stats.

Ciena Corporation press release CIEN Q1 Estimated: 0.345 Actual: 0.47 Well...last quarters earnings came in pos, but the stock took a nose dive. Pre-market is up...we'll see what lady fate gives me...

STC BX @15.01 BTO CIEN @ 25.05

I think i would loose all of my money to commissions in a fast sloping linear fashion. :)

what is my lower bounds if the trade goes neg? with $250000 in the trade $10 will probably be a fraction of a penny. :p

market orders in which direction? is there a new kind of market order that i dont know about that is not directional? last i knew that was called "doing nothing"

It looks like i am going to get into CIEN for tomorrows earnings. I will am going to shoot for the switchover at 1540 like yesterday. The trend is obviously down and the telcom sector is "retreating" as the news people put it. So as stated in my trading plan i will go long and hold through...

BTO SPY @ 133.40

nah...not the point...just do the opposite of me and you will *surly* get it.

In a never ending quest to constantly adapt myself to the markets as the markets see fit I am going to try and lose as much money as i can in the shortest amount of time. Being a trend follower i have been able to make some decent money, but I am constantly plagued with the "what ifs." I think...

great job btw, i cant wait to see the outcome.
