    my lake

    Now back to which stocks to trade. I like to trade stocks that have (or I think will have) big openning gaps. I look at premarket biggest winners/losers, and previous day's afterhours biggest winners/losers. Also I check the stocks in play for that particular day to try and find the stocks...

    As you can see I have 2 active montages with time and sale, I keep 2 main stock candidates for trading on that particular day there. I will put 2-3 more stocks to keep an eye on that day in the quote monitor in the top middle. As you can see I also have quotes for about 50 stocks that I keep an...

    I will start here with trading NYSE listed stock with price over 5. Since my starting size is minimal there is no average daily volume limit on stocks to trade, if size gets bigger I will have to take volume into consideration. Around 9.15 in the morning I will pick 2-4 stocks for trading...

    Leveraged Short ETFs... something wrong?

    That's what I thought until I bought some TBT (trades double inverse to TLT or the 20year treasury). The inverse is not 2 times the point move, but 2 times the percentage move. From http://www.proshares.com/funds/tbt.html Objective UltraShort Lehman 20+ Year Treasury ProShares seeks daily...

    Leveraged Short ETFs... something wrong?

    here's some funny inverse etf math: when A moves X % a day, the double inverse B moves 2X %, if they both start at 100, and lets say first day A drops 20%, it will be 80 and B will be up 40% or 140 if next day A goes up 25%, it will be back at 100, but B will drop 50% and trade at 70, SO...
