This is a very interesting post. Are you saying you have these advantages eventhough you are not affilated with any firm? Where are you executing your trades?

Could you be more specific about what exactly is considered an NASD violation? Thanks

I used to watch the comedy channel for laughs! Now I just log onto this site. Thanks for those two previous posts. I loved them LOL LOL LOL Thanks:D

northcascades You say you are using a stratgey buying front month options and hedging with the underlying. Could you be more specific about the mechanics of your strategy? I trade the QQQ and their options quite a bit. It seems to me the index generally moves several ticks before a change...

Trailing stops are offered through some broker dealers. The question is, "Do you want the latest, most advanced weapons in you war chest?" The answer for me is, YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!! If I'm in a fight and some people have knives and some have guns, I want a gun. And I want the best dam gun...

A stop is merely a trigger for an order which becomes a market order if the security trades at or below the stop price, which is the trigger price. There is no question that a stop order can fill a long way from the stop or trigger price, especially in a fast or thin market. But, if you are...

Seanote I agree with David that I much prefer the points because often I do not recall or have at my fingertips the size of the position. Thanks again, again, again & again for the time and effort you devote to this site. Also, yesterday you mentioned you placed your stop on an alert...

Yes, that is true, but the jockeying to determining the field of play (the strike price) for that game, which is then played between the call and the put owners and sellers, often starts much earlier in the month. If there is a tendency or preference as to playing field I want to know as early...

Sorry I didn't make my point clear. What I was getting at is that I have noticed that as we get close to option expiration, there is a tendency for the price of the stock to gravitate toward (and often very very very close to) the strike where the large open interest is. In the case of MO, I...

Take a look at June open interest in MO Major bell curve with peak at 55 strike. I have noticed often these large companies have a major tendency toward the peak of the open interest at expiration. Also, the June 60 puts are $2.60 offer.

If you don't mind saying, what execution platform do you use and who do you trade through? Do you trade options? Thanks for all your info!!!!

Could you clearify you post to Rene? You said QLGC had just gapped down about .50 Looking back on a tick chart, I don't see that. Also, you mention squeezing the shorts out by running the stock DOWN. Can you explain? Again, thanks for your help and time.

I hope it doesn't get too lonely. Anyone not making money with a move from here to DOW 300 is not a trader. THEY ARE AN INVESTOR!!!:D

What charting software and time bars have you been using for these KLAC trades?? Thanks I sure appreciate the time you devote to this board!!!!

I would at least like to know the average account size for each group. I must say, this is a GREAT site!!!!

From what I have seen (books, tapes, seminars) it depends a lot on your trading style. If you are a very patient trader or a longer term investor, George's material could be very helpful. But if you are a very active, impatient trader the strategies develop too slow and the bid ask spreads...
