+3 I was going to let it go but with a name like flipflopper I just couldnt help it

10 years may or maynot be a good enough time range- certainly if someone was successful from say 2004 till now in 6 years seen pretty much everything market had to offer-low volatility high volatility, sharp sell off , great rally-if you were profitable as a trader in this time pretty good...

good work at generalizing Fwiw u got people from all 170+ countries who call USA home - some citizens, some would be citizens and some neither. Good job on generalizing the entire human race as stupid nuff said!!

Not everyone can make phenomenol calls like you-Being short AAPL @193 and since that day even though market has dipped nciely a couple of times AAPL has never seen 293 :) Its almost like you are the perfect contrarian indicator made- now to only replicate you :D :D

good one:D

Good one Robert. Happy TG to you and your family. I ve lived in a few countries and every country has some divisive forces. Look at our neighbors to the north_quebec wants to separate but this is "United states of America" and thats what I love about this country-that was one of the most...

The only way to truly expereince what california offers is to live there--once you ve lived there everything else pales. The reason for progress is progressive thinking - India and china would still be the same if the thinking didnt change to improve and do what they r doing. There is a...

If you are constantly improving ( your system, your psychology etc) then you are totally wrong. If you keep on repeating everything the same way over and over then you are absolutely right. Getting up after falling is the hardest thing-staying down after falling is easy as anything.

Biggest challenge is somehow to recognize a trending day versus a narrow range day--like yesterday if you went short at start of day you would be up nicely only to give it all back by end of day-probably wouldve cause a lot of frustration only to find today it gapped down below yesterdays lows...

I think you jinxed the aforesaid :D :D CRM puts here

When I first started didnt really have a clue even though I d read almost every book every blog out there that I could possibly get my hands on. Tried every indicator, a few "gurus", few news letters. One of the better ones was HCPG http://highchartpatterns.blogspot.com/ One thing that...

Good thread. I ve never looked at my trading in this perspective but after reading you guys I will certainly be looking to at least keep an eye out on this. My biggest problem for a long time was holding long enough to have a big enough winner to cover my losers. Whats really worked for me...

if you use stops )mental or hard) what does it matter whether a particular stock is heavily short or not unless that specifically plays into your strategy or your strategy is based on that. Most short float info is month old.

OK but an honest question--was it this system that generated the signal to go short on AAPL at 293?? :D :D :D The answer to that will clear up a lot of ruff on this thread

Puts are really good way to go instead of shorting stock outright--SPG puts went from 1.50 to 8.40 in about 5 days -even if u used $2500 to buy puts -potential profit top to bottom about $12k :) If you shorted the stock (if it was avaialble which is not always the case) you wouldve made...

Marathon is a race :)

Would be interested to have comments from OP or others who posted earlier- from 2002 to 2010 was a great learning expereince - got a great recovery to one of the biggest dumps to another great bull market a full cycle.

+1 there is more wisdom in that statement than "most" of the replies so far-think it over

Even trying to generate 60k on a 100k might seem impossible when you look at it- but as a day trader you get 4 times leverage so how about 60k on 400k buying power (15% annual return)-now is that reasonable?? :) IF it were an "easy" way out I am sure a lot of people have/had at least 100k or...
