    i bombed a question at Goldman Sachs in a very late stage interview (maybe 6th or 7th interview) for a position on the floor of the NYSE.:eek: how many right angles on the clock during the day? i'm a retard. my answer. 'are you serious.' it was my first big interview out of school. then...

    Back testing basics.

    interesting. anything that shows good success on the short side is worth noting. maybe someone will code and show more detailed performance report stats as well as suggestions for improvement. i'll give it a shot, but can't within the next couple days. (yes, this simple system would take me...

    Is it possible to day trade $20 million+

    so basically, you don't think it can be done. i don't think anyone disagrees that you can swing trade 20 million, but you provide some interesting insights on moving that size in relatively few stocks.

    Is it possible to day trade $20 million+

    like others mentioned, it would have to be basket trading, of which i'm not aware of any strategies unfortunately. a bbox program also is certainly capable.

    Paul Krugman - National Health Insurance

    not for long. we are becoming them, unfortunately. boggles my mind that the left, and even the so called right, wants to copy a system that produces no growth, 10% unemployment, and a lazy society that feels entitled to everything and no need to contribute to society for the lifestyle they live...

    From poker player to stock trader.

    interesting thread. i too play the NL $1000 tables at party, though i play the shorthanded tables 95% of the time. i'm up $23k in under 4 weeks, and could be up maybe twice as much if i didn't throw money away so often. there are people making much more than me as i see them cleaning up...

    AAPL - A bloodbath in the making

    they don't even have the best product on the market anymore. the just released iriver is smaller, has better recording options, and has FM radio. no one is going to buy the shuffle. it lacks a screen for christ's sake, it doesn't have FM radio, and it's capacity is small. the one edge the ipod...

    Which is More Profitable - Swing Trading or Day Trading?

    surprised many think there is more money in daytrading. hedge funds make money swing and long term trading. could a day trader ever approach anything near what a swing trading hedge fund? it is just not possible. a good hedge fund can make a few hundred million a year swing trading. there is...

    Which is More Profitable - Swing Trading or Day Trading?

    i daytrade sucessfully but am really trying to move to swing trading systematically. clearly there is more money in swing trading than day trading since you can take a much bigger position without worrying about liquidity concerns. this since 10 cents of liquidity impact out of a point isn't a...

    BestDayTrader Q&A

    what a bunch of jackasses on this board, you included balda. it looks like all of his swing trades are on his site, and all of the day trading logs. whether they are tradeable is a different matter, but ease up. you probably haven't even gone through them, but instead took it upon yourself...

    Poker and the Beginning Trader

    party poker has by far the best games. it's not even close. the software may not be the best (though i don't have a problem with it), but who cares? you need bad players to make money and party poker has boatloads more than all of the other sites combined. my affiliate is HOLDEM2004 which...

    Poker and the Beginning Trader

    they aren't rigged. there are only 52 cards in the deck, so when you hit one of 3-4 outs, after 23 cards already are in play, is it really that unbelieavable. no. it's too easy to check and it woulda been exposed by now. they provide all hand histories upon request, and in fact i have a...

    Poker and the Beginning Trader

    i really don't understand the people who are so loyal to stars and ultimate bet. the games are 10 times easier on party poker. so you have to put up with the occassional outage (ultimate had severe lag when i played there for a week), but the games so much better it dwarfs any minor issues...

    Poker and the Beginning Trader

    nice job. i play the NL $100 cash games on party and am up 15.3k, but that's in just over 5 months. i play a lot though, and these results really should be double what they are, but not too bad for my first year. i hope to get better and move to the higher spread games on ultimate bet at some...
