Let me ask everyone on ET reading this Forum: Why did the guy who figured out his edge on blackjack by counting the cards reveal (write a book) on it? Why would he do something as stupid as that? Would seem to me, the only logical reason would be that he felt he could make more money...

Yes, limit orders take back seat to market orders. Also, The bid price might have been 53.15, the ask may have been above the 53.18 you wanted the shares at. And, even if the ask was at 53.18, the MM only has to offer 100 shares at that price, so if someone else got them at 53.18, the MM...

YAAAAAAHOOOOOO....HERE SHE GOES AGAIN FOLKS! IM LOVIN IT NOW BABY!

I like the chart for MOS today. Looks like a solid long today.

Are you saying that you were going to buy BW last week and changed your mind? If you have that kind of crystal ball to know that a stock like BW was going to bounce up like it did today, please let me be the first to get in line to get some of that! Otherwise, don't kick yourself too hard...

anyone aboard the BW train today? What do ya think? Good short candidate or what? looks like it's gone up real high real fast today.

Hi Reg, Yes. You are right that I had said I had stop loss of $1800. This, as any of things I said, are not held in stone. My original record keeping was to hold on until close no matter what. but, after reviewing some of the bad days, I thought it better to cut the losses on the bad...

That's a bit scary for me to read. I am in the process of switching to IB right now! I had read through almost every single review of IB on here, and was looking forward to saving a ton on my commissions using IB. I currently use Scottrade and pay the flat $7/trade. I typically only...

How come I don't see Wizetrade listed as a company there? Darn!

Very true Ezzy! All I was looking for was some information about backtesting. Could be articles or books or first hand knowledge. I was asking if backtesting relating to stocks was any different than someone who goes to the casino and writes down the numbers that come out on a roulette...

If all else fails you can use the handy dandy Wizefinder by Wizetrade! Works like a charm. It scams (oops, meant to say scans 1000's of stocks for ya) and then lists the stocks with 3 green lights! yep. you guessed it. 3 green lights is better than only 2. It's a handy dandy tool for the...

Yes, you are right Scalper that this is the reason my strategy is not for everyone. In fact, I doubt that even a handful of folks would try it and stick it out for 15 days, even though I could show them 6 months of daily results with very nice gains. I have often times said this sucks and...

Well, Just so you know I can take it as well as give it, I got whacked today! Lost about $3000. MTD, PRM, and MWY sucked today! total duds!! Oh well, gotta take the lumps some days! Have a good weekend traders. Peace.

Sounds like Jack is relating the market to a 3rd or 4th order differential equation. Having a BSME, I am not fully intune with you EE's, but I'd have to say you are stretching it a bit to compare a financial market to a physical phenom that can be explained with advanced math models. peace.

I am very relieved to read the posts here about how it's not such a bad thing to reveal any strategy! I had thought I might have shot myself in the foot, but I can concur with the thoughts on here, especially that most folks would screw up a free lunch! So, again. Thank you! I feel...

ADUX, Demo cable? you talking about BGC today? It looked good today. I played it so bad though. I got in @ 46.70 and 46.84 but did not hold on to make nearly as much as I should have. It came in 7th on my list, so I was just screwing around with it today. Wish it was 6th, I'd have...

yes Ricter, its a stock picking method. If it goes belly up before you scrape up enough dinero, you could always get yourself the latest 'green light, red light software' from WT! Just kidding. One thing I have heard about but haven't taken the time to really dig into is buying or selling...

Nice Job Ricter! Before you decide to go live, how much capital do you have for this? As I had said, you need realistically 50k-100k and margin too. You have to realize that, on average, I am only making $200 for 200,000 per day. If you invest only 20,000 you are gonna make $20...

thanks again scalper and heavyhitter! You are very keen scalper! You know that I am not bullschitting because I have laid my cards on the table. Unfortunately I got little in return from the masses here on ET by doing that. I was hoping to get some good ideas from others about how to...

thanks Jeff. SWS, RAH, and TSL were good to me today. I have bad days too, as we all do. Peace.
