tradestation can be made to do this. radarscreen can do this too, but radar screen is for receiving alerts on many symbols in realtime.

I'm pretty sure there are popular fx firms that guarantee stops.

Unfortunately I dont make a living at it. Not even close. I am still struggling. Selling premium doesnt suit my risk tolerance, so I am trying my hand at buying premium. I cull through about 500 liquid stocks with options. I look at daily charts, hold from 1 -3 weeks. Mostly playing...

I think the market goes lower. I selling some calls today, taking a little pain.

if you go to a prop firm specializing in options, u can get alot of things that will give you an advantage. I traded with Vtrader, and it was an excellent experience. 1. haircut - its like margin, but based on more on real risk. 2. access to firms that will work your order - not sure...

I am a profitable poker player. Aside from having lots of experience as a trader, i am pretty much a newbie as I have not got the hang of it and am not profitable. eusdaiki, thank you for the article.

Account got whacked again :( I'm currently at $1300. I am currently in the following: OMX Aug 45 P @ 5.30 NTMD Jul 5 C @ 0.55 RTN Aug 40 P @ 0.40 I am looking at getting some short deltas on: ARS NOK UTX I am also looking to buy NEOL under 6.10, but it is running away from me.

This is is pretty interesting considering I also lost over a mil in that few seconds that day too. I was short the emini sp, fed cut rate un announced. I even had stops in place, but I got filled on the high ticks of that spike. I never made it back, I was pretty much fucked. I guess that...

I would like to thank Kingdong and Fadertrader for hijacking this thread. I also traded PD these last few days, and I am currently long via the 90 Jun Calls. I only have a very small account, currently 2k, but I find options are definitely the best way to play these high priced stocks...

The move doesnt look to be a parabolic top yet to me. I am looking at purchasing the Jun 140 C or the Jul 145 C tomorrow.

Today was a good day for me. GM up good, made 100% on calls. Still holding some (July exp) Also had profits from MO and XOM. Account up to 2100 today.

I have been bullish on the stock last few days and this has been a very nice reward with over 100% gain in option values. I dont pay attention to fundamentals, and to me this looks like a the start of a bull run in GM.

My account capital is at 1600, down 1400 from start. I'm holding calls in GM, CD, PCAR for the long term (few months) I had one PDT violation this last month. I will watch it now, and be sure to not close anytrades same day.

You have to get up at 3:30 or 4:30 depending on daylight savings issues. I have done that before and its difficult. Nowadays I swing trade. I get up just before 6am and I trade up until about 8.

I'm in hawaii now, but I keep in contact with the Vtrader guys.

I just bought some MER and GS calls. I am looking for an intraday move that might work into tomorrow as well. I also bought some Aug 20 calls in CD. on my radar entries for longer term I have: MCD down, SYMC up, KO up Dont have the capital for those yet, need to wait till I get out...

well said.

come to hawaii and surf everyday!! I have been to tahoe, but nothing beats hawaii in my book. Hawaii has more climates than every other state. Something like 13 different climates. Includes desert, tropical, snow (high altitude), tundra, sub tropical, and many more!!!! Come to...

I am not to pleased with the outcome of my trading thus far. I have lost 1,300 of my intial 3000. It has been a rough month with nearly every position I held going against me. One nice thing that I have noticed is that the loss is not affecting me as losses have in the past. I am...

We are like greedy kids. We saw a cool treehouse. It was inhabited!!! We kick the indians out of the treehouse (killed em actually). Then once we get in and everything is set how we want. We set up immigration laws that make it very difficult for anyone else to come up to the...
