"So, in theory, if one where to devise a system that cuts losses and lets winners run, one could profitably trade a totally random market" That's just too naive. If you assume teh market is random, you can never make a penny. For instance, if one stock is on the, and up trend you...

"Some markets recover quicker then others" That's true, but are you sure housing market recovers faster than NSDQ, or another way around? How do you it won't take 10 years fro housing market to recover?

"My bro in law is a dentist, his wife is a pharmacist" This is so absurd, Why don't you just call his wife your sister?

Well, I have to admit I suck in trading. I think I am pretty smart and succeed in almost everything I am serious about, from sports to academic, to hobbies, etc, but not trading. Now, trading is my only hobby. I am not lazy, constantly I stay up till 2 or 3 am doing research. It has been 1.5...

Dear son, Don't get angry. Life is sharing.

"can you guys post links or share stories of traders who blew out their accounts many times before they eventually became top traders? this should be inspirational to a lot of traders. people aren't born traders but are forged through pain and experience." No, that's not inspirational...

Probably 95% lose in a casino. What if you bet totally opposite to a random guy, will you win?

I am just wondering where I can get gap up (or down) stocks each morning. I know Yahoo finance can do, but it has 15 minutes delay. My TDAMERITRADE account used to be able do it at real time, but it is screwed up (I have contacted them many times, but the problem has not been fixed yet. I...

Dinoman, thank you very much for the leads. Trade Idea looks awsome, but ithas a lot more han what I need. i only screen on price, price% change and volume. The price of Trade Idea is too much. It probably worth for all teh funtions it provides, but I just ned a simple real time screener...

Thanks in advance, Freewilly

I have a TDAMERITRADE account. I could screen stocks based on current price, intraday volume, and price % change of either today, last hour, or last 15 minutes. Those are real time data. The problem is that screen program at TDameritrade gets very buggy. It gives me wrong returns all the...

Coupl of years ago when I visited China, I bought 3 Rolex watches for about $4 each. (actually any brand would cost the same money). The first glance was they looked real ,but if you looked a little harder, you'd notice the build quality wasn't there. However, they are very accurate. I gave all...

I think theer are two problems: 1. You pre-set a goal. You want to turn 76K to 500K by the year end. My experience is that whenever I set a goal(no matter for a day, a week or month), I lost big. Take whatever the marekt can give you. Don't set a goal. 2. Emotion got you really good. When...

I took me quite a while this morning to buy this stock. After that, I can't sell it on IB. I already set it to "Market" order many times, I still can't sell it on IB. Why is that? TIA, freewilly

Hi, Ezekiel, Thanks. I saw that as well, and that what I believed, i.e., P&L includes fees. However, that's not what I see on my account. Evereyday, my account doesn't add up. The P&L on my trading page must not have fees included.

Then at the end of the day, I had no positions, and my account value was: $110982.54 My acount value increased $7040, but my P&L was $7461. The differece is $7461-$7040=$421. That $421 seems my commssion, but it is not shown anywhere on my account.
