"When I quit my job and started trading full time I was a pig and a genius. Now I am a chicken and an idiot." Love that line!

"stock opened at 15.27, was kinda weak, and then BOOM from 13.84 to close at 10.16 on 2 mil+ shares" I'll go out on a limb here and take a wild guess there's news to read on this somewhere. $15.27 to 10.16 in one day isn't following a market trend. Now despite my being pissed off that I...

What stocks are you guys trading?

I wonder if I can combine this all with MurryMath? :p

Then mail him your check and let us know how it goes.

I've won and lost a ton on it. Decided it was too unpredictable to play. Market goes up it goes down and visa-versa one week. Next week it moves with the market. Techs go up it goes down. They release positive guidence "accidently" and it falls. They beat estimates on earnings and it goes...

Short interest NASDAQ: http://www.viwes.com/invest/shorts/index.html NYSE: http://www.trading-ideas.com/si/si.asp?SE=NYSE I suppose cruising through the put options would be worth a trip too but I usually do that after I'm already targeting a stock.

And here I was trying to grow my account by trading. All I have to do is type in broken english and provide no details to get funding? My address to send your checks is:.......... .............. :p

After disecting what was presented here and backtesting some new rules for my stops I have enjoyed a much better week this week as a result. I played very volitile stocks all week and had much better results. While I will always requestion my tactics should my profit/loss suffer down the road I...

Ok another rookie question to the options traders. I have seen many references to the fact that MMs attempt to make the most widley held stock options worthless by walking the actual stock to the most logical price for this. 1. 1st of all is this really true or is it BS from traders who...

"courtesy of the heavily short hedge funds who woke up Monday morning to find their nuts in a vice grip." I almost fell out of my chair reading that Darkhorse. Imagine you on TV saying that and then: .......and now back to you Maria! :D

You're right about the futures this week. They were a pre-indicator each morning. This morning they are down not up as of 7:15AM EST. **Sniff..sniff*** hmmm...I smell some short sells this morning.

I'm holding a short that moved into loss territory in AH on the weak bag of "positive news". After reading a few articles like this one:http://www.thestreet.com/comment/swingshift/10022208.html I feel a lot better holding a few days through the "mania" of a bump up on false hope. Everyone...

Question for option people from someone who never trades options: One thing I track daily for part of my market direction indication and confirmation are the put/call ratios. I have mainly watched the index ratio but have wondered why it shows the opposite "sentiment" when compared to the...

Call me paranoid but knowing I had backdoor on my trading box I'd be doing a ton of PW changes by phone myself. See other thread.

3 trojans! Try Norton antivirus. Usually have the best luck with it vs. any others myself. Backdoor.IRC.Flood is a backdoor Trojan. It installs an mIRC client that has backdoor capabilities; this gives the hacker unlimited access to the computer. Also Known As: Backdoor.IRC.Flood.i...

"I've asked them a dozen times over the past 6 months when a new feed is coming, and they always say they're working on it, but nothing changes" Email them a link to this thread.

Bung: "But seriously Def, you should pretend to be a retail customer and check out the attitude of most of IB cust service reps." I worked for a company that did that. The VP would call branches posing as a customer with a variety of problems to guage how well the staff was handling customers...

I'm pretty happy with NexTrend so far as an inexpensive charting software. It hasn't burped once so far although I've only had it about a month. Never tried Quote.com so cannot give comparisons.
