    Jeff Cooper off RealMoney

    aaa - think many people will cancel their RM subscriptions because of the move of those two to RM Pro? i know that i thought of it last year, when todd left. however, i justified it by knowing that herb was a decent 'alert' signal, despite cramer's blabberings. then, when cooper came on, i...

    Any RealMoney Pro users?

    nitro - it is worth fading. the hard part of fading cramer blindly is that sometimes he'll flip-flop on the same issue within a day and no noticable difference in price - just in the way the winds blow. do i do it? no, i've got my own little trading style, that works fine for me, and i know...

    Any RealMoney Pro users?

    vishnu - i agree that realmoney is one of the better sites on the web (and that allows real writing; though i subscribe to briefing, i only really do so for their intraday updates, and not much else). for exposure, it's good; gets your name out there. that's what you want - even if you're...

    Any RealMoney Pro users?

    he wouldn't be able to reply if that were the case... however, if he's not in nyc, he probably has (unless it's initiated) zero contact with cramer. most of the gossip comes out of nyc. if he makes derogatory comments that cross the line, he'll get a warning about this being a 'positive'...

    Any RealMoney Pro users?

    i cancelled my RM subscription 95% because of cramer. the 5% reason i cancelled other than that was moving people whose opinions i could use (shartsis, gary smiths' 'good' columns) to a separate, pay more, area. however, i just couldn't take giving money to an organization whose leading...

    IB Phone order

    1 and 3 are on their website under contact and fees. you also can only CLOSE positions at market. #2, learn the code for letters A = alpha, B=beta, C=charlie, D=delta, etc. (mine may be different than the 'original' ones).

    Annual NYC meeting...

    not sure if i can come down (i now live 2 hours north, rather than in hoboken), but some thoughts... first, don't forget about the potential MTA strike. i'd suggest trying to determine a place AFTER having an idea of the number of people. as you know, many places in nyc are small, and...

    Best Display for Trading?

    i love samsung syncmaster; almost as good as eizo, but a fair chunk less money. and, best buy / circuit city / etc. are now stocking them (they weren't when i got my first syncmaster, i now have 2). i know some on here like viewsonic, but i used to do tech support on a trading floor, and...

    Ebay??

    in a nutshell... ebay (auctionweb) started - pierre put things up, and basically it was a "if you sell stuff, send me some money" site. like shareware, of sorts. NOT with pez dispensers, as the pr machine made up later on (one of many lies from ebay's pr machine). and meg took no pains...

    Ebay??

    avalanche - that's one of ebay's twisted numbers, the 50 million registered users. it's 50 million registered IDs; many, MANY people have more than 2 IDs. in fact, for a while, when ebay was terminating auctions because they didn't like politely worded content in their message boards, people...

    Ebay??

    bung - there's LOTS of funky numbers on ebay that aren't positive. and not even the known-analyst ones; the actual rate of growth has slowed significantly, and many people i know have given up selling on ebay because of increased competition, and ebay's increases / constant hassles. however...

    IB/Realtick deal?

    i hate to do the 'one thing is worth it', but hottrend from realtick makes me not even consider anyone else.

    William Oneil - CANSLIM

    prae - excellent post...are you talking about NYSE stocks? and, what is your stop based on; lower band of the range it breaks out of? when i was younger and stupider - or what we know as the bull market, this time being around 97/98 - i'd buy in advance of breakouts (even options) and sit...

    William Oneil - CANSLIM

    i *believe* o'neil cited darvas' book as one of the inspirations for his trading. in darvas' books (how i made 2mm, and the follow-up ones), he talks about how he didn't know it was a bear market, but his system kept getting stopped out. when it happened lots, he knew it wasn't favorable...

    Todd Harrison is writing again

    aaa - yes, if todd has 1 foot in boo, he's 25% short (as the market is rising) 1 foot in hoofy, he's 25% long (as the market's falling)

    Toby Crabels " Day Trading with Short Term Price Patterns and ORB"

    most of the crabel books that are in the libraries around the country are not available anymore. they are 'lost' or other things like that. i think there are about 4 that actually *have* the book; the rest that claim they have it are lost, or out for a year, etc.

    dual monitor; color way off on one?

    i have two flat screen monitors, and a dual video card in the machine. my problem? whichever monitor i plug into the 'right' part of the card is significantly darker than the left one. i used to be a techie years ago, and remember seeing this problem on trading desks that i supported...but...

    An idea for PDT opponents

    when i was in the process of moving my account from one brokerage to another, i had <25K at my 'main' account. my trading noticably suffered during that period, because i was afraid to take trades in the fear that i'd go under 25K. my profits were much less than normal, and my % wasn't very...
