It was on a watch list because of fundamentals: Profit margin; ROE; earnings growth: and PEG ratio all exceeded my criteria. The stock had dropped back from a new high and tested the 47 area (near the 20ma)twice. I also use a 50ma on the hourly charts. It crossed today.

Do you have a target for LEND? Are you anticipating a breakout over 51.75? Do you use a trailing stop. What time frame do you use to draw your trend lines? Nice pop a few minutes ago. I'd consider moving my stop up to 49

LEND is on my watch list.I missed it when it broke 48 the other day and again this morning when it went thru 48.65 Where is your stop?

CW you were the one that set the time frame. What most of us refer to as swing trading. From the trades you have made so far I wonder if you would ever hold a stock overnight or if the risk would be too great? I appreciate an aversion to risk, I finally became profitable when I realized...

CW Can you give us a reason for entering the SVU trade when you did? What was your set up. Are your stops mechanical(sell stop orders ) or are you sitting with your finger on the trigger? What broker are you using?

Cool; Re your JPM trade. I agree that the stops are too tight for a swing trade. If you’re looking for a 5% or better move why have your stops at pennies? A 1% stop would be 40 cents for JPM. Any reason you entered the trade when you did? To me the entry would have been in the 40.25...

If I might impose on the experienced tape readers, Could you please give me your reading on ELOS today? The stock opened slightly higher and was up over a dollar in the first few minute. There were 3 prints of interest; At 10:27; 20,000 share went at the ask of 39.00 At 10.31...

So what is the answer. There seems to be hundreds of vendors out there that want hundreds if not thousands of dollars to teach me to trade. I can also subscribe to any number of tip sheets that scan the market, pick stocks and tell me what to buy and when. Someone takes these courses and...

Firstly I like to say that I hope this thread continues. I have a question for the stock traders. Yahoo at around 1:00 was trading in the 34.30 range. There were 4 prints totaling 900 shares @36.00 then back to 34.30. How does this happen? Did someone get lucky with a buy order or did...

<i>What experience you have in trading (differ between participant and "outsider" in years)</i> Could you explain this.

Maybe that's the problem. The systems are too complicated. Its human nature that drives the market. Fear and greed. The fact that <b>"The markets have completely changed. Much more people trading, internet, computers.... all has completely changed".</b>hasn't changed human nature. All the...

95% lose because of human nature. Fear and Greed. Most of us are more afraid of missing a move than we are of losing money. A “system “ is only effective if the trader follows it. Discipline!! I’ve read that you should be able to write your system on a single sheet of paper in...

Spike I am new to futures trading and will take all the help I can get. Please excuse my ignorance but could you explain what you mean by "I trade the ES with 1000$ margin per contract” Does this mean with $1000 capital you trade 1 contract? What are your commissions? with a max...

I would like to restrict this discussion to those that have actually attended and/or paid for some kind of training seminar. From searching the site I realize that there are quite a few who claim that paying for trading education isn’t the way to go. “Those that can trade, trade and...

Would it be prudent to trade QQQQ for a while befor attempting the NQ??

Nice pics. What I find amazing is that with all that computing power you have a calculator beside the phone. Checking your work??:D

I find for swing trades that trailing with the previous days low keeps you out of trouble.

Reading through the threads I read a strategy that bought or sold stocks based on where they were after lunch compared to the previous days close. I noted it at the time to check it out, but I can’t find the tread. If anyone uses this strategy could you please expand on it.

Buy a stock. When it goes up, sell it. If it doesn't go up, don't buy it.
