still completely arbitrary "outperformed major indexes by a large margin" Which indices, what margin, how large. are you using Alpha, beta? what is your Measure? Read oneil for a good example of how to measure these things. or do a search for CANSLIM. Much more important than this is a...

guys...i played around for months with triple moving averages of all sorts of varieties on bloomberg. I have come to find that simpler is better. stick with the basics...50,200 crossover for longer term. for shorter term just stick with a double moving average...maybe 3,5. keeps life easier.

it looks like they are not exact...but i dont think the QQQQ is exactly the same as the $COMPX if you were to do a chart overlay. little divergences here and there. I am trading the Double and the double inverse a bit...the volumes are low (less than 200k).. so they jump around a bit, but not...

amazing isnt it...i tried to do a couple lttle shorts here and there the past couplf of weeks..i have not been very successful. this is also at or near the top of the IDB 100 list. I am amazed a sugar water company can still do so well. kudos to them.

great...you have listed 3 items which are arbitrary and undefined. a. i buy at the bottom what ever that means b. Consistent performance for years..how do you measure consistency..and for how many years? c. growing rapidly and profitable...again..what is growing rapidly...and how...

The best answer unfortunately is it is not a time factor...it is a human factor. it depends on your willingness to be open minded, avoid unessecary risk , and study all the good information you can get your hands on. Ill give you some good examples. I am currently reading threads on ET...

Get a regular 8-5..and do your studing and order entry after work and on your lunch break. You will obviosly be swing trading...but this is a great way to start. I did this for years. you dont HAVE to watch it all day...hell, starting out your probably dont want to, youll have a heart attack.

there is an alternate universe!

It doesnt matter if it is winning or losing. (By the way...in trading, you are suppsed to liquidate the losing positions...not hang on to them. ) the costs of the transaction is so minimal ($5-$20) that is doesnt really matter. you can re-enter for the same minimal fee. but at least it can be...

I want to save this thread for future reference...it literally has every element inside that is indicitive of what NOT to do. No money management, no sound methodology, no plan, no entires, no exits, no listening to reason, nothing but hope hanging on by a shoestring. I almost dont believe it...

you never did get around to learning how to draw a correct trend line did you? well, we tried. you cant save them all. some people just have to learn the hard way...which is exactly what will happen to you.

wow. you are kidding right? i disagree 200%...and then some. Your house (the one you live in vs. an investment property) is an EXPENSE. you think a house has a guaranteed return? hardly..it is almost a guaranteed loss if you keep it less that 30 years at the average rate of real estate...

pleanty of people believe this. unfortunately it is often false. for a comparision look at MSFT. a big strong company with excellent fundamentals which is continually growing with ever improving products...right? the stock price is half of what it was 5 years ago and continues to decline...

look guys..you may be dead right on the quality of the product and its usage. But you have to understand the relationship between that and the stock price...there may not be any. especially entering a bear market with higher interest rates. when i was a retail broker several years ago...

for my trendlines...I hold my pencil up to the chart on the screen, and close one eye. If I want to get REALLY exact, I stick my tounge out just slightly and squint. i think trendlines are vital...but do you really need special software for them? evey tool i use i can find online.

You are not seeing the forest through the trees mate.. 1. QQQQ- learn how to draw a correct trendline and get back to me. 2. TIE- the “matterhorn” pattern followed by lower highs and lower lows. 3. AAPL- see #1 and #2 4. GOOG-see #1 and #2 5. HANS- I could be wrong here, it has...

listen mate...to make money consistently, you have to do a LOT better than that. check 50% of the stocks in the market last November... they were all breaking out. not atypical chart behaviour for that time of year. we are now in july "sell in may and go away?" we have also had a few fed...

a couple of ugly co-workers... :)

once again...why should this be the bottom for a long time? based on what????

man. listen. you should read only and stop posting for a while. it is blatantly obvious that you really dont undertand markets. 1. fix itself-yes...the markets normalize with time and return to their moving averages. That doesnt mean they always go up. they dont, nor are the currently...
