    Total Newbie (self taught/punished) Tries to make it big. (No joke!)

    Generally speaking you don't want to be going against a strong close. There is the possibility that the market is ob/os and will move your way, but a gap move could kill you. You might get lucky today since it is the day before a national holiday. The specialists/MM's are in charge more than...

    Total Newbie (self taught/punished) Tries to make it big. (No joke!)

    By the way, you mention risk management.. care to elaborate? [/B] Hi Taumeson, I enjoy your journal and wish you all the best in your trading. But I have to ask: why should Entropy help you with money/risk management when all you have to do is pick up a book that addresses these...

    6/26/03, ES, up day

    Trader#1(I mean Jessie) tells us whether the close will be higher or lower than the open every single day. But as soon as he gets one wrong, he has to leave E.T. forever. How about it, #1?

    TOOLS FOR THE NEWBIE, what tools should I use?

    Please take this in a kind way, but you should try to get some more clarity before you start trading 3500 share range. If you are still working through fundamental question like the ones you posed then it's highly likely that 3500 shares per trade is too big a size for you. You used...

    Its time for richsohn to get banned

    has the right idea. What if people were given moderating power over their own threads? That might solve some problems. Of course it might create more whiny threads and cliques, but at least it would get rid of a lot of crap.

    Help on an economy discussion......

    but assuming you are arguing FOR Bush you might try: 1. The whole mess wasn't his fault -blame it on Bill! Actually there is some evidence to suggest that Greenspan massively overinflated the money supply during Bill's day, which contributed to the prolonged recession. 2. With bonds being...

    54% return -- looking for an internship

    Luojun, first and foremost, I suggest you stop dispensing advice. You come across like a blind person describing the colors of a painting to people with 20/20 vision. You came to this board for help so don't turn away from the comments that you don't want to hear. Those are the ones that are...

    How fat are you?

    give us some fighting tips!! (i don't start fights, but self-defense knowledge is good) [/B] As a semi-pro martial artist I'll take it upon myself to answer this one... Basically 99.99% of self defence has NOTHING to do with fighting. How you stand, how you walk, where you look, the...

    geisha girls

    Trend456, are you Japanese? You write as though you are Japanese, but seem to be pretty off on a few points. I've lived in Japan for almost 9 years and don't claim to be an expert on any of these matters, but I'm pretty sure I know more than some of the stuff I've seen written. To the best...

    Soloflex & Home Gyms in General

    I don't know much about the home gym products so I'll refrain from answering at that level, but it occurs to me that you might have greater success by going to the gym with a friend/spouse instead of training at home. If you leave the home you get to feel like you are "going out." Also, you see...

    Lies and more lies. Who Said What When

    I'm wondering about all the war hawks that were banging their chests during the actual war. How do you guys feel? Are you still proud to have invaded a sovereign nation for "humanitarian reasons" or are you embarrassed as shit b/c there are no WMD? Something in between?

    Is My Computer Fast Enough For Tradestation? Please Help!

    You might have some trouble with TS7 (I did). My P3 simply can't handle the load, even with increased RAM. Fortunately I can run TS6 no problem. Try TS7 and if it is too laggy for you then just bump down to six.

    Exchange Fees

    I'm a TS7 user and recently my cost of doing business has more than doubled. I pay $100/month for data fees and another $120/month or so in new exchange fees. I'm wondering if there is any way to get around these fees? I trade EOD, but I like to have real-time quotes. I primarily trade NYSE...

    music/software downloading sites (ex: napster, kazaa, etc..)

    I use Kazaa to download tv shows that don't make it to Japan until years after their initial release. I'm a very happy user, but would offer some strong words of warning: 1. Watch out for new music. The companies are out to get us and they will. 2. Don't bother with software. I know lots...

    Oh NO!

    To be honest, the raised level of security is only something I've done recently. A few weeks back I downloaded a free spyware utility and checked my system. I figured I might have "gator" or some other "harmless" application running on my machine. I was shocked to discover that my machine was...
