No worries. How can you not be long POT...LOL

Good luck Johnny, I ran your last trade through my system and it did not register a buy. I also got an email alert from pairtrade finder for long F and short GM. My system again did not register a buy. My parameters are pretty strict. I find it interesting however how my system will...

I joined you on a couple of trades... goog/appl pot/cf mbt/tii

Hey Johnny Sharp, Your trades are looking good as of today's close. Nice work. Keep it up.

Cool. I checked out pairfind trader and it looks pretty cool. Haven't downloaded yet for a free trial, But I did sign up for their email alert service. Did you buy the software or are you just testing it out? I am going to test each one of their pairs in their daily email against my pair...

Account blow ups only occur if your trade size is too big. Keep your trades small and give them time. Practice smart portfolio management and trade volume through many pairs. If both sides of the pair go against you get out after you have determined that you are wrong because of a news...

I was wondering if anyone would start a journal on pairs... I trade exclusively pairs. I got a good chuckle when I saw your first pair aem/gg. I actually traded it the other way recently and made some nice coin. Also traded hd/low recently as well. However I was long low short hd...

Interesting thread for many reason. Not because a Bright trader lost big money, but the lesson many traders need to learn. Trading is not a horse race and a quick hit game. Its a marathon which means traders need to learn to pace themselves. If you have a lot of volitility in your trading...

That is awesome total keops!! Great stuff.

Stick with the pairs. I play openings this way. I think its crazy to take the open and be guessing a direction to get filled. With pairs, I actually buy the pair withing 10-15 minutes before the close and place limit orders for the next day's open. I'm looking to make 50 cents-1.00...

Sorry, I may have misinterpreted your question. I trade all the ETF's for all the different asset classes.

The other guy probably uses the following tools: his right to grip it and his left to rip it. If you are asking me, excel with some VB add in's.

i trade a mean reversion strategy based on 30 day moving averages and standard deviations. Very simple in concept. Buy and short at 2 std. deviations. I always close or take profits on half the posion at 1 std. deviation and the rest at the moving average mean. I never take losses but just...

I posted an article about trading breakouts and breakdowns on my blog. You can read about how I do it here. http://stocktradingstrategies.blogspot.com/ I think you might find it interesting.

Interesting thread...pretty clear that people don't really have anything bad to say about Bright other than possibly the rate structure. So here's the question, if you are a prop trader or looking to go prop and have a series 7, which firms should one consider and do due diligence on other...

Not sure about your question, but how do you trade that many shares per day? Are you using an automated program? Also curious what your basic strategy is? This come from a guy that only does about 10k shares per day.

So, let me get this straight please. All you do is open up an excel sheet, put the past historic prices of two stocks in there (How far back do you go?). Check the correlation (How many days/months do you check it for?), and then I guess you have a benchmark for the correlation (ie. >.9). Then...

Hey guys, remember what an opening order is and don't make it any more complicated than it has to be. With an opening order, you are simply adding liquidity to the marketplace piggy backing the role of the specialist. If futures are opening higher, than you are providing shares for sale...

Not doing it on openings, but do it throughout the day. Another way to think about it is to buy the best performer and short the weakest. In otherwords you are buying relative strength, and shorting relative weakness. Its the easiest way to think about pairs for day trades. I can tell...
