How about a name of a couple of stocks....the postings so far have been totally worthless and vague.... There is a block that you can place on your order so "they" don't know you are a "daytrader". SteveD

I would just buy/sell at "market". Don't burn so much brain power, just get in and get out. Trade liquid stocks...your small size is a mere blip on the screen... Do the math sometime....take one of your stocks you like and divide the number of shares by an amount of time, 1 minute, 1 hour...

Just for my amusement: What is your normal size per trade....how many shares of a stock do you usually buy/sell? SteveD

I have a good friend who makes more than that: GOOG-2000 shares on the IPO-out at the top APPL-3000 shares when it first started up-pre split-out at 75+/- HANS-4000 shares last July at 40-out at 185 NTRI-several thousand over the last 6 months-out now Big follower of IBD and...

The difference is why I put more importance on increased REVENUE because very difficult to "monkey" with the revenue side of the money coming in the front door. EARNINGS can and are manipulated to achieve a desired result. SteveD

OPEC has not "controlled" the oil market for several years now. Too many members with too much diverse needs and there is a very large number of other supplier countries. It is in everyone's best long term interest for oil to come down to around $35-50. Natural gas is the quandry. Guys...

An IPO can begin trading ONCE the SEC has given it's final approval and the registration is OKed. All "Ts" crossed and "i's" dotted. The underwriter waits till the morning so they can better judge market conditions if they want to activate the approval process with SEC. Hard to short an...

I believe if one looks back most real estate problems have been rising interest rates along with rising unemployment. We have neither at this time. Some "over heated" markets will see some consolidation, some speculators with lose some money. But people running down the hall screaming...

Just when I start to think that 95% of traders can't be losing money along come this thread......., LOL I think maybe 95% is too low.... Silly silly SteveD

You are aware that the US does not buy oil from Iran??? The Syrian President Assad will go into exile and the nutjob running Iran is a "dead man walking". They are just too stupid to realize it as of yet.... Iran will have an internal revolt and throw the demented mullahs into the...

The Trader's Magazine group had one thing in common: They all were EMPLOYED by a large firm. They all traded OTHER PEOPLES MONEY. Give me a break. Show me a trader that saved up $250,000 of his hard earned money and now wants to learn how to trade. Someone else quoted statistics...

I think it is misleading to concentrate on Livermore as most, if not all, of what he did is not allowed today or just down right illegal. Zanger uses O'Neill as a reference in some interviews I have seen. O'Neill is probably one of the great traders/investors of the last 50 years. He just...

...."everyone knows"......?????? LOL, SteveD

I think the 95% statistic came from a study done in Boston? that compared the online accounts opened and how they had done in a given period. This was in late 90's. Press and major BD played it up big time. To me it would be like comparing number of golf sets sold last year versus the...

Don't over complicate your trading. Watch DELL and GM. Nasdaq and NYSE. Both have a lot of "thickness" at each price point. DELL will give you a nice run of more than 50 cents most days. Easy to buy and sell with "market" order because of the thickness. Same goes with GM. Both...

CANSLIM is not a " system" as normally thought. It points out companies that have increasing revenue, increasing profits, and increasing institutional ownership. Combine this with a relative low float and you get a HANS. I have a friend who was in HANS at 40, she told me about it when it...

This is keeping with that other time honored tradition of bashing CNBC and turing off any news or other information source. There sits our young "trader" in his baggy shorts, backwards baseball cap, new issue of Trader Magazine and $5,000 his grandmother gave him opening an account at IB...

I think the oil companies (they are the ones who actually use the product) see oil at about $40-45/bbl. I say this with the utmost respect for the "knowledgeable" posters regarding oil on this board, LOL. I have a friend who trades natural gas only. The reason is that both oil and gas are...

I live in the real world. When someone says I want to destroy you and kill you. I take him serious. He is a madman. You people are totally delusional. I hope it is from inhaled or ingested items and is not genetic. That is the difference between Rep and Dem. Dem live in the...

The reason the Arabs/Muslims do not like Israel is that it shows what total brain dead primitives they are. Listen to the Pres of Iran. Kill the Jews, wipe them off of the world map. Kill the US. Winston Churchill wanted to take out Hitler in the 30's. He was called a "war monger" and ...
