Trailing stops are good. But not all traders have the ability to use them. And very few get to use them on nasdaq issues. Mental trailing stops are a very worthwhile approach. To save myself some typing, I will quote myself (from my previous incarnation when I was the less evolved "Rs7"...

OK... a fine call deserves recognition. So, Jesse, FINE CALL!! A bit of advice though; quit while you are ahead. There is no upside. Look what that idiot Nolan did when he was right. Made himself into a Guru. Had his moment in the sun, and wore himself out patting himself on the back. And I...

OK, fair enough. Let me ask one question at a time then. This is off topic as to "wireless" but my original "to long to read" post started with my wireless question.....but is not as much of an immediate concern now (unless someone wants to look back and address those questions a page previous...

Does the fact I got no responses mean no one knows about or is familiar with "Drag and Drop" cd burner software? (and the rest). Or is my post too long and am I asking for too much info? HELP!!! (Please?) :)Rs8.5

PS: why is it that according to Toast.Net, I am connecting faster on my wireless laptop and cable modem at faster speeds (on average) than I am on my T1 line at my office? I asked our tech guy, and he said it was because we were using one line for 40 guys, and were going to add another line...

I am about the most un-tech guy here I guess. Just use the stuff. Like I drive my car....don't know how it all works. But I do like to know how to operate it. Reading what guys like Nitro and Aphie say about technology makes my head spin. And I know that I am still probably more...

Past present and future. The REAL suitability issue for widows and orphans. Basic Series 7 stuff. :):):) Now the real question is this....is inside information coming out of a non public company like Bechtel a violation if used to position yourself in companies with which they do business...

You should just call the exchange you want to trade on. When I left in 1990, the min. capital requirement on the CBOE was 50k. Also had a seat on the Philadelphia and Pacific exchanges, but I don't recall what the min. Cap. Req. was there...probably the same, but that's a guess. I am sure a lot...

The NON IDIOT"S GUIDE!!! Thanks, :)rs8.5

Yup, no doubt that governments "hate" governments more than people "hate" people. My contention was merely that as people, the Shi'ite and Sunni sects have as much animosity for each other as they do for non muslims. Take the west out of the picture, and the schism in Islam will continue to...

Great Post!!!! RS8.5

Good questions, and truthfully I don't have any answers that I can give with perfect certainty. When I did this kind of trading, we did not do it the same way as I described. We were not big enough (and we were plenty big....maybe in another post I will talk about how we did do it). But as...

Cash, Yes, I really should have thought of this when I made the post to Bung about this strategy. In a gapping market, there is too much to see. (And also, as I said, I usually have other positions to be concerned with). So yeah, it is definitely the stand outs in a dull market open that are...

Yes indeed. The most fun post I ever did. And a dramatic turning point in my life. I made the infamous post at the desk in my bedroom while my wife was trying to continue her peaceful sleep (the kind that women seem to achieve so much more easily then their overwrought maniacal trading...

Very possible, but usually (since I have been primarily an overnight trader) I am more concerned with getting out of positions good or bad when there is an extreme move in Globex. This seems more like a Don's Openings play as you describe it, so you should be telling me:) Yes, Reuters will...

Rs7 is played out. Replaced by the new and improved upgrade, Rs ver. 8.5 (commonly called just Rs8.5) Peace, :)Rs8.5

After much debugging, the beta version is now no longer in testing. RS8.5 is officially here and seems to be working smoothly. It took some major re-thinking and about a year's worth of trial and error. But Rs7 has seen it's day, and now, RS8.5 is available for use, abuse, humor, solemnity...
