Nothing prevents a buyer to post a bid that is double the outstanding float, suck in some stock and then just keep stepping the bid up. What about MONEY? What happens when you buy and then don't deliver the cash to pay for the stock that you bought? Now contrast the above to the reverse...

Any thoughts on the role of naked short in options trading. Any comments on how they are separated from the "bad" kind of naked shorts The SEC allows MMs in options to naked short to hedge their exposure for options that they are writing. Any optionable stock on the Reg. SHO list can be naked...

I've already been through the material, ALL of it, including outdated links and inactive websites. I did NOT reword the same question to motivate you to repeat the answer. I have your answer, thank you. There is no desire on my part for you to reply to this post. The questions in my...

I'm not surprised that I missed a number of key points. There is a lot of material covering a very long time frame. In addition, to the Journals I-III, I also read the documents available at traderuniverse.info and found these to be very helpful for tying everything together. One of the...

Thanks Spydertrader, that helps. My understanding based on what you said, is that the overall price trend based on a daily chart is not a consideration. The final determination is based on intraday action and indicators. Personally, I feel more comfortable, going long on a stock in an overall...

Yesterday, there were four stocks showing up as currently in dry up: IAAC, MED, NVEC, and SIRF. IAAC and MED both looked liked bad bets based on daily charts. In particular, both appeared to be in definite down trends over the past three months. NVEC and SIRF had better charts, because it...

Don't rely on advice from message boards.

Thanks Haroki. You're right, IAAC MED NVEC and SIRF all show as in dry up. Of those stocks only NVEC appears to be in an uptrend. NVEC, however, has only 4.63 million shares outstanding, with 36% of the float shorted. Does it still qualify as a tradable candidate under the Jack Hershey...

but there are also tons of other bruno setups as well from our final universe because of this big market drop The only stock showing that it is presently in dry up is MIKR. Unfortunately, MIKR is in the process of being bought out so I think it should be removed from the final universe...

Thanks, Spyder. That's what I thought. There was significant price improvement over the close of the previous day at the time of the signal. However, SNCR fell back and closed only 0.02 better than the close of the previous day. After hours, though, it's up about 2%.

Did SNCR indicate an entry signal today? According to the WealthLab scan and chartscript, SNCR was in dryup, with a lower band dryup volume of about 57,000. The lower band dryup volume was exceeded by 10:00 AM EST. The MACD was positive and the Stochastic exceeded 80 at 11:00 AM EST, which...

I pretty much agree with StonedInvestor. Buying new 52-week highs backtests pretty well, and is rather satisfactory to trade. Dreman's contrarian methodology also backtests pretty well, but you need more patience to trade this way.

I'm not sure how to do that. You might try doing it with an alert. Open up alerts, select "execution" and enter whatever security you're interested in. You can also add in some additional logic if needed or desired. Then go to the orders to be submitted, and enter the market order for the...

Enter a limit order to buy whatever in the TWS. Then attach an autostop to the limit order, by right clicking on the order. After the autostop is attached, change the order type from "STP" to "MKT", and transmit the limit order together with the attached market order. If the limit order...

What do you think about this strategy? (Using fundamental, long-term analysis for short-term trades.) I would reverse your strategy, and use technical-analysis to time entries in a particular direction on stocks according to fundamental analysis. More particularly, use your fundamental...

All you need to do is play matchmaker between doctor and hospital THEN COLLECT THE FEE. Recruit just 4 doctors in one year and thats 100k, better then a construction job and less work. How do you collect if the hospital won't pay up?

how was the message send to you that you could no longer be short the stock? how long were you short the stock before it was called back? how much time did you have to close your position before IB closed the position for you? The message was sent by email. I was short the stock from the...

I have accounts with IB, TDAmeritrade, and Izone, which is a part of TDAmeritrade. Izone consistently has more stocks available to short than IB. I think it's pretty hard to short stocks with IB. About 50% of the time, IB reports no borrow available, and once, IB even bought me in after letting...

there's never been any actual "greenberg getting paid" proof (and greenberg's come out and said explicitly he HASN'T been paid by any of those, or coordinating his stories with their covering/shorting). Greenturd was employed by TSCaM, owned TSCaM stock, and bashed stocks that Rocker...
