Lars I wonder if perhaps you are correct. Seems a bit far out, but could this be an attempt to remove some choppiness from the market making it easier for the big boys? I simply assumed it was another pathetic attempt at politicians protecting us from ourselves.

I disagree with p2: of course a small account, one with under 25K, can be profitably traded; however, any intermediate or longer drawdown period is likely to knock the small account holder out of the game. I agree with p2: the 4:1 margin and elimination of the overnight rule are a boon to...

Most quote providers have ceased to allow users to log on from multiple computers at the same time. QCharts allowed it until very recently but I think they no longer do so. You are limited then to 1 machine with multiple monitors; however, a network could be useful to allow you to harness the...

The secret lies within each trader. Minimize losers, maximize winners, manage your money carefully. Trade entry is NOT the key, and there is no secret formula.

Any advice from those of you running Nextrend behind a firewall or server software? My copy won't log on while running on a Sygate server, but if I dial-up directly it runs fine. When it does run it seems very reliable and clean.

To update - I've acquired the Adelphia cable so far with pretty good results. Have 2 machines networked off a Netgear switch, with my server machine running Sygate Home Network. The cable can certainly handle the data stream, although I suspect Adelphia's backbone is not of the highest quality...

In response to Warlad you should be able to use 4 or more monitors in Win98/2K by using more video cards, or by using a single card solution such as the Matrox G100 Quad (ebay). I have a question about Win2K upgrades off of ebay. Is there any reason to purchase the full version or can I...

Played AGA on your alert. Took some at .25 as it moved up. Sold at .34 and .47 Considered holding the last of it with a .25 stop, which would have been smart trading, but got greedy and took profits and got spanked when it opened today. Thanks P2.

QCharts is clearly oversubscribed. The company uses a rental data feed and is not interested in the increased costs associated with widening the pipe. Much of their customer service is lip service, assuming you can even reach a real live set of lips. That said the service is certainly...

P2 - Congrats on AGA. Only a 40% return in 3 days, I could have done better:)

My understanding is that the election is permanent for the person or enitity electing it. On chosen it sticks with you; however, I can't quote the source for that info so do your DD.

P2 - I guess since you broker there you use Graybox? Has the feed proven clean and reliable, and is it similar to RealTick? Considering switching out of IB this Summer and am in the process of gathering info. Thanks.

P2- Did you ever catch the bounce on PKTR? Just curious.

I concur with the above regarding this title. Very good read, and refreshing from the standpoint of a reader weary of reading about the next holy grail. "Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach."

I don't remember who to give credit for it, but the quote, "Gamblers create risk, speculators manage it," is an appropriate observation of your trade management in the QCOM trade. By limiting your risk, but leaving yourself open to almost unlimited gain you can really win in this game...

The vix could just go high and stay that way while the market continues to slide. Of course, a quick spike usually indicates at least a short-term bottom. Hopefully today's action convinced people we are headed lower so we can finally get a break to the upside. This beating is amazing.

Had similar results with USL in Jan. Although this strategy is probably quite dangerous when coupled with very low liquidity, it worked very well in the case of this stock. BTW - the catalyst for the trade was bad earnings news.

Will you clarify your thinking in the last post? Do you mean when the specialist posts size on the ask, then go long because you know he is accumulating stock for a pop in price? thanks.

White - Did you elect for yourself or for a trading entity?
