Gordon Gekko, Why don't you help us all out and define evolution. What is evolution? Give us your best definition. While you are at it, give us some kind of response to this quote from a real scientist. He admits his philosophical underpinnings, which many evolutionists don't even...

JohnK, You had mentioned not intervening in your positions during the first day, unless . . . >But I don't intervene much,especially during the first day, unless >I see a sizable move that appears to be unsustainable (in which >case I exit and prepare to go back to the well next day.)...

Let's just stick with the first point, the Miller-Urey experiment. The authors might not have claimed they were searching for the 'origin of life', nor that they had discovered the origin of life, but their results have been used ever since to suggest just that. Look at the 1998 March...

I recommend you teach the controversy. Start with these ten questions. Regards. ** ORIGIN OF LIFE. Why do textbooks claim that the 1953 Miller-Urey experiment shows how life's building blocks may have formed on the early Earth -- when conditions on the early Earth were probably nothing...

Thanks for the explanation about your trading. I'm just getting started, like little league vs. professional league, a big difference! Nice quote. Here is another one I had heard years ago, applicable in many ways. "Calm seas never made great captains." Regards.

You mentioned in your first post: >c. Manage trades loosely intraday via simple indicator >crossovers and divergences; What do you mean by 'manage trades loosely intraday'? It just seems that you have several positions, especially when going short that would need more than 'loose'...

I found the review for the book at Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/032122468X/qid=1075902478/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/002-7198365-8711210?v=glance&s=books

Some have posted offers on ET that are being listed at dealnews.com. I highly recommend you sign up for their daily email newsletter. The deals they find for just about everything, systems, software, hardware, wireless, storage, RAM, are amazing. There have been some comments on Wireless...

No problem Charles. It is good to know about the ads at stockcharts.com Too many services with good products are trying to make some extra money by advertising (that is fine), but in the process they are hurting themselves by cheapening what they offer. Regards.

Thanks Bill111 and Charles for sharing your thoughts on the scanning. I need to look into the software to try some of the backtesting you mention, and then go from there to find the stocks. Charles, just for clarification. You wrote: >You say that it can be tedious to look at many charts...

This might not be in line with the thread for swing trading, but could you comment on the idea of scanning a basket of stocks? I tried to search ET on this topic, but too much comes up in the search related to 'stocks'. Is it a personal preference to choose the stocks which make up your...

Maggandre, I read through your thread. Very helpful. Have you any new observations more than six months later, I mean on your experience using any services, like good or bad? Any you would recommend? Charles, again thanks for those charts. You make it look so simple. You apparently are...

Thanks for taking the time to post the charts and setup examples. It really helps to see what is being discussed. I think it would make for an excellent forum or journal of some kind to see the charts posted for these kinds of setups, but all in one place. It seems the charts are all spread...

I don't meet the requirements to be an active daytrader. I will have around $10000 to trade for myself. Do you recommend anything? Because of that I need a little longer time frame, 2 - 3 days or more. I don't know if any particular setup is a higher percentage call than any other? Appears...

Hi Electron. I'm new to all of this and trying to understand the chart you posted along with the feature you mention. In the chart diagram, the feature you like is the small number 56, yellow in color at the top of the new bar? At that particular moment, 56 ticks have gone into the...

A few questions about the links. Bullmarket, have you used the twaves service? DK, have you used (or are using) the stockstalker service? It looks powerful. I'm definitely going to sign up for the free 30 day trial. Stocktrader. Thanks. I saw realitytrader via some of the posts on ET...

Thanks for taking the time to post some of your thoughts. I will check into the links. I see the validity of your advice to develop my own style. I have followed some trades of others never really understanding why, and it is confusing. I'm not sure when to get out. I'm working on...

I posted this on the SnakeOil thread, and since it was an older thread, I decided to make a new thread here. I'm still pretty much overwhelmed with so many choices to be made. Please, if you can share some thoughts, I would appreciate it. I have done several searches on ET. If you can recommend...

I started in July of 2003 trying to learn how to trade. I have hundreds of links in my Favorites for web sites which have something to do with stocks, trading, or investing. I started with zero knowledge. I have gone through some trial offers and learned quite a bit. I'm still trying to...

Hey Turok. I read that you didn't go to public school. Glad to hear that. I did, and I've been sorry ever since. :-) That was unnecessary for me to have said that about you, so sorry. I do find it sort of hilarious, and tragic at the same time, to read through some of the nonsense you...
