Why do you think swing trading is for you. And what time frame are you considering. Regardless, tactics are tactics and 99% work no matter what time frame you use. Consider trading using the 60 minute chart or longer as a new trader. There are a lot of emotions involved in this business as...

That is an excellent solution airspeed. Of course, I am taking bids at my home for the whole house to run that way, with the charge comng from solar, so I am biased. Hey at least when the power goes out, you can still watch a DVD!

Bingo on the commish structure. And I trade mostly NYSE and trade straight to the NYSE instead of using the CyberXchange route. That way a limit order doesn't get dumped onto Island. Because of the commish structure, if you are scalping it is prohibitve. If you are daytrading but longer term...

:D :D Yes I do. :)

:D Funny guy that Chuck. I would be interested in reading contributors on this topic, too. Plenty has been written about the opening trades and FV, but I have a particular interest in this topic myself. And Chas, that was funny. :cool:

:) Well that busts me out then. I use Cyber. I have no doubt you'll figure it out, I have read many of your posts. Clearly, the lights are on upstairs. You're contributions are well worth reading.

Do we have to welcome new members so warmly tradestox? I mean, you don't have to post do you? So what if a newer member asks a question that has been asked before. Please do not be misled by the number of posts under my recently changed nickname. I have been here for awhile. Unless you have...

Hey zoo, At the top of the page is a tab for brokers. There you will find every broker in the free world it seems and some comments about each. Many of the people whoi regularly contribute to this site have posted comments there. I used to use Datek and felt the same way as you do. I...

I'm sorry to suggest such an elementary question, and I mean no disrespect, but are you sure there is an Oct 02 put? Just sort of checking the "is it plugged in" thing. :)

Victor, Not all replies will be as instructive as the one previous to this. Do not be misled by the number of posts beside my name. I recently changed my nickname because I was tired of the other one. I have read one book by George Angell and it wasn't all that great. I have not read the...

Shorty, There is nothing wrong with trading from the short side always. There are no rules that say you will fail doing so. In crazy bull markets like 1998-2000, there are still stocks that are tanking. There are just less of them. But that portion of the bull was an aberration anyway...

One would definitely have to analyze that one I think profitseer. 1) If I move the limit 2 points, how many trades that I entered previously would not have been entered? 2) How does missing those trades effect my P/L?

I'll have to think about that one. I love the 3 step method on another thread profitseer, and no matter how many times I have explained it since, no one gets it. It's too simple. In that post, perhaps the 100% thing is confusing people. The 100% as I interpret it means 100% of the time...

rs7 and Rigel you guys are on it! You have nailed two points right on the head.

I don't like to have people peering over my shoulder while trading. But I can't think of any other common event I feel that way about, ie., golf, gambling, yardwork. In each of these I am trying to do well also. Oh well. Love to short. Wanna go long, can't go long. Should go long, won't go...

Huios are those profits after commish?

Once you get out of a trade, unless you are 95% sure you are going to trade it again sooner or later in the day, it should be locked out from viewing it the rest of the day because... The worst part about trading is getting out of a trade and watching it go on for significant additional...
