I'll use Ned Davis's 4% Swing sytem as a Tradestation example: Tradestation is a toolkit, a little like a spreadsheet. It is "dumb" until you program it to do something. They do supply lots of examples, there are more available at many websites, many for sale (of course), and they provide...

I made my first trade at 16 in my brother's account, traded on and off until I got out of college, and then took a 25 year break while I held a "real" job. In 1994, I saw the light again and resumed at 47. I was helped in "seeing the light again" when my department was eliminated in a...

I'm had to go and am still going through unbelievable crap to get insurance. At this point HillaryCare is looking good. It seems like the deck is stacked against the individual/small biz owner when it comes to obtaining health insurance. DS

If it's someone I know, I'll say "I play the stock market" or "I'm a daytrader." If it is someone I do not know , then I'll usually say "I'm a short tem investor." When and if they ask for advice, I decline and say something along the lines of I do not make long term investments and...

I do hold positions overnight. Winning positions average around 20 bars (I use mostly 60 minute and 30 minute bars) and I do open and close positions during the day. I typically have about 20 trades a day. Losing positions average around 10 bars. DS

I once tried to mentally create the ideal trader, and here is the profile I came up with: 1. An undergraduate degree in math or engineering. 2. A graduate degree in psychology. 3. A stint in the Marines. Why? There is a lot of math in tech. analyses. Understand yourself and...

Last week, I was the victim of a variant of a virus that at this point is just being reported, its name is blaster.f and apparently has found new and creative ways into your system. I use a firewall and keep my OS, and antivirus up to date. I do not preview emails in Outlook Express and I do...

Tuesday 9/2: Got the computer back on Saturday, and a new one being built by a local shop. The new one will be ready Thursday. Today, not much happening. Mainly, opening positions but there were a few trades: 4 wins for $130 4 losers for -$200 Net $-70. There are 24 open trades...

Robert, Thank you for this clarification. DS

Thanks for this piece of advice. However, I am confused regarding taxation of LLC income. As I understand it (I hereby claim I am not an expert) is that it essentially drops to your 1040 unless you pay yourself wages as you suggest to facilitate tax advantaged items such as deducting medical...

Wednesday 8/27: 23 winners for $1045 12 losers for -$135 Net $910 The computer crashed about noon today as I got some variant of the lovesan virus that got through my firewall, updated XP, and updated Norton AV Pro. As Mr. Murphy would have it, my backup computer was with my wife on...

There are several but I like Multex best. http://www.multexinvestor.com/Home.aspx?target=%2f&page=home I frequently run screens so I did one for stocks having 1000000+ shares/day average volume and the results are in this .xls file:

Tuesday's results, 8/26/2003 15 winners for $1330 12 losers for -$760 3 breakeven Net $570. Had one big hit in the morning after the "good" news on consumer confidence came out. A lot of churning today as the market swung from a fairly big decline to close up a little. Started the...

You might also ponder how GDP has risen from $238 billion in 1947 to the latest $10777 billion, a growth rate of about 7% close to what the stock market has done. It is economic growth. You may be thinking that the stock market is or is similiar to a zero sum game, it is not. It is a...

A little while ago, I figured that my health insurance is about the same as my mortgage! Talk about a crisis. The folks in DC don't seem to have any idea what to do and my state government in Austin, Tx is more interested in redistricting in favor of the GOP than anything else. Hell...

Seems complicated but actually it is fairly simple. Some of the math I use may be unfamiliar to you like the Fisher transform and Ehlers DSP , but in essence it enters on a moving average crossover (with a couple of filters) and uses 6-8 exits all of which are usually found in software...
