you are playing with yourself and not against anything. When in you ARE the market and if you are nice enough to yourself you can kiss yourself to the place where you deserve to be.

If you focus from the very beginning on not losing you will have a much steeper learning curve. If you listen to advices like it takes x months or x years you will compare yourself with others or their claims how they got there (did they really?). And where are they now? Perfect traders who dont...

I live/trade in thailand since quite a few years and its a good place to be. Whats an issue (still) is the lack of really good and reliable internet connection. If not married to US markets only you can basically trade asian, european markets in daytime and US markets in the night, currencies...

yes if moving up straight to the target the 125 is the bigger bang and instead of 2 120 you could have bought even 4 125. Considering exp. in 5 days its ones own decision whats more important risk or potential.

Funny in my country Rothschields got 600k Euro government subvention last year to maintain a park surrounding one of their castles while Bill Gates is claimed the richest man on the planet, hehehe. People admire Billy boy and overlook where the real dosh is and how easy its transferred from...

for your pick of the stock at around 122 it would have been the Feb. 120 call. The slightest ITM. 2 calls would get you a total risk of about 1000 $ at that time. Nothing wrong with daytrading options especially when liquid like AAPL. You manage the option like you would manage the stock.

just to get newbies not too much into it and better add this strategy after a decent learning curve there is a nice sample (though not a classic FK) showing knives still can cut. JASO

Use bracket orders: entry with stop or stop limit, target and stoploss are executed automatically. With stop or stop limit orders you will quickly find out if you are at the right side of the market in the majority of your trades as you get flushed in with momentum. According to your description...

never let a profit run into a loss is of course confusing and it shouldnt be the strictest rule to follow. Let your winners run makes a lot more sense but what you need to do is setting TARGET(S) and therewith find out about your TIMING. After you got the timing right you can start to play size...

great combination to blow out an account, maybe also short the stock then its perfect.

ok boys and girls I made 10 bucks today and my account is now at 4,15 k. I go a bit travelling for the next 10 days or so because there is so much time for and then I will continue trading:p

mgabriel, you are on the right way. Stay with what is working, have a few reliable set ups that you can recognize and specialise there. You will not run after the market therewith but it will come to you. If you dont get enough trades or risk/reward is not good enough then either change the...

I give you a serious advice now. Take out 3k from the 13 left in your account, change it to cash and put it on the desk beside your keyboard when you trade just to feel a bit real what you are doing there. I am sure that you dont know how likely you will blow out everything within a very short...

up to 4,14k slowly slowly.

didnt you say that you bough them for 3.44? For you the time to sell is now since you had a terribly timed entry and luckily get your money back now. Take the small profit and consider the lesson. Hold only if you would also buy right now and I doubt you would.

kitty, I dont think that there are so many liars posting but rather do people only/mostly post their profits and dont mention their losses. That is not a lie so you shouldnt judge it that hard. Pretty normal for people who use the board just to present themselves as somone/something they would...

I think that we are not done to the downside and there is a big sell off outstanding, nevertheless we can go down another 1000 points in the Dow and still there is no bear market. Recession along with subprime and interest rate crap is just the reason to clean out the market and therewith gives...

I just wait for the YM to drop below 11900 again then I short with a 100 point stop and a 1000 point target. Thats all, maybe trailing the stop a bit afterwards.

my condolence.

3,7k sharp as today. Low DT Power is really hindering so I might need 1 month longer.:p
