    Uptik's chart challenge

    Good guess Lonehand, but as usual you're WRONG!:D Are you still shaking guys out of positions in the chat room? I'll be back in there as soon as my new acct is ready. So then you'll really have someone to shake out.

    Uptik's chart challenge

    ok...in my week off(while waiting to open my new acct) I've gone skiing, ice skating, hit golf balls, had a FEW drinks...but like most of us I am continually pulled back to the charts. So I've been looking at charts all morning and decided to post this one. Though it might be fun to have...

    Why do patterns fail?-makes no sense

    i agree with all of the posted responses and will try to add some helpful info: one thing to consider is time frame. different traders use different time frames. even in our daytrader world, we have 1 min, 5min and 30min chart readers...so what might appear to be an upside breakout on a...

    Bright Trading and Other Pro Shops?

    Don- Thanks for your prompt reply. I wasn't saying I wanted to be waived from taking the course. I'm deciding on a pro firm. Someone told me about this requirement at Bright and I just wanted to confirm its veracity. Uptik2000

    Hitman- 1) I'm very glad that you broke that losing streak. 2)I'm not sure why you're posting last years journals 3)In a way I envy your passion for "princess", but in some ways I have to wonder if she's a distraction. i have to admit, I've never let my self become so infatuated with a...

    One good thing about PDT rule

    iiphos- Thanks for your support. I didn't short the first 44 because I rarely trade before 10am...it's just my personal preference. And it really didn't form a pattern there...if you look at the chart, i drew lines where the price was going up and the volume was going down...I always look at...

    One good thing about PDT rule

    ok yeah I see what you mean...no ididn't just pull a point out of thin air as my target... what i did was this..in a falling three continuation pattern...the continuing leg should be roughly the same distance as the first leg....i think I've drawn that on some of my other posts...I think it was...

    Should I work for Generic Trading of Phila. ?

    Vinny- no , i don't think so...if you don't do any volume, they're still getting some cash from you for the desk fee so i don't see why they would ask you to leave...but to be honest I don't know...I have the contract but haven't gone over every detail yet.

    One good thing about PDT rule

    magna- yes , I'm aware of the poor management on some of my tardes...my original target was one point...when I noticed the NDX getting in to the support I moved my stop to the top of the entry candle..which i think was 43.65, then the risk reward shaped up...the pace on the stock picked up so I...

    Should I work for Generic Trading of Phila. ?

    echo- 600 per mo for in-house(office) $100 per 100,000shrs over 400,000shrs is rebated back...so if trader does 800,000 a month would get $400 back...cost would only be $200...anything over 1mil shares = no fees thats a great deal if you ask me, you get good data fees, good top of the line...
