To one of the posts websites and such I can recommend. I've been learning to daytrade from http://www.careerdaytrader.com http://www.stockcam.com is one of the ads on this website. They offer a free trial of a week. I'll have an interview up soon with both of the managing...

Well yes and no. I know a few traders who keep their addresses very private. The majority of traders I know that are really good give seminars, write books, have a website. I just asked what they did. Spending awhile on the floor of the CBOT helped open a few doors. It becomes obvious...

thought so. Your system definitely has some merits to it. It reminds me of a friend's scan he uses on Bigeasyinvestor http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/triplescreentradingsystem The above link is his message board if anyone is interested. He is end of day trading mainly though. Below...

I should mention something Wareagle. I don't try to find new ground when trading. I find traders who are the top in the field and model their strategies. In fact because I understand expectancy once I understand the basics of the system they use I can out produce them in returns with less...

to calculate expectancy take a sample of your trading. Each trade figure what your R (risk) is per trade. I tried to cut and paste a spreadsheet I use but it doesn't look anywhere near the same here. What you need to do is calculate your R each trade. R= (your entry price minus...

I need to get away for a break, but once I start talking I can't stop sometimes. Baron that's why I brought it up. I think it deserves a seperate section, not a thread. Look at the interactive brokers thread. It's getting so long, I still haven't read the big chuck in the middle of it...

I hate to acknowledge it but, "The Idiot's Guide to Electronic Daytrading" is pretty good. The basics are well written in it. It also sounds like Baron's course might have some value. Anyone care to comment on it. rtharp

Hi Dustin I think my thread that is Part 2 of what I was saying will help more. Understand I have been sitting in front of a computer all day. I needed a few minutes to have a breath of fresh air. I made a cup of coffee and I'm back. I was also unsure of how long a post I can submit...

just something else to think about-A Richard Dennis trained the turtles. He just closed his fund due to a huge drawdown. Now Richard Dennis is a incredible trader. I've been exposed to a lot of his strategies. The problem is market's move in cycles. He wasn't prepared/ or ready for a new...

Topmo wrote me "Hi RTharp, It's been interesting reading your posts. If you don't mind (maybe you do)...I was wondering if you might share some of the things that have worked for you the last few months with your personal trading. Thanks. Looking forward to reading your comments in the...

Hi Kirk Actually Brian and my father have set up a goal to open a hedge fund within the next few years. They are working on me so that I'll be the head trader. By publishing what I do I feel it will only benefit everyone. Yes some systems will be less useful but others can be enhanced...

Gotta quote you here. First who is we? Are you a daytrading firm? or something. That's strange. I agree with developing a system and following system. Risk being high. Well no. Read Market Wizards. Do any of them have high risk? I've done very well because I keep my risk small...

SLK has one of the biggest shorting lists around

Hi A I think I should mention what Jack Schwager noticed. The majority of good traders are now in the stock market. A lot of the Market Wizards who traded commodities have either moved to the stock market, gone bust (yep a few did) or had to drastically change systems. The problem with...

Hi Wareagle My father is one of the Market Wizards, but he really doesn't sell systems. His biggest clients are hedgefunds. They have their track record published constantly. I'm not allowed to say who it is, but he is in Market Wizards also. I trade for a living and will back it...

The Finn Hi. The first recommendation I would recommend is that you read a few books called "Market Wizards, New Market Wizards, and Stock Market Wizards." They are interviews of some of the top professionals in our industry. Only about 15% of traders make it, but guess what...

I wanted to quote Praetorian2 Did you mean to say new "high" instead of hud? I don't quite understand what is hud. I take it you are trading looking for something heavily oversold on volume and getting in for a slight correction as markets overreact to different things. Am I right...

Quick question? Was there particular news on that day? I'm on vacation and have been testing systems. I don't know that stock well. One of my coaches trades off of the news on a stock. He sees if the news is significant towards the move. If the move is parabolic he will catch a ride but...

you aren't the first who can't write me. Usually it's best to close out your webrowser and log back in. IF that doesn't work, email me with your message to post or try again later. rtharp

Hey Zboy The best system for a trader is actually his own system. Every individual is different, what works for someone won't work for someone else. If you don't have a positive expectancy system find a few great traders to model. Learn everything about them. You'll soon have a great system...
