    How Do I Let this Big Win Sink In, My Stock Got Bought Out!

    Hi All, Its been months since I made a public post because of family issues and dealing with some very horrible people. I don't day trade anymore, that's my son's department and he is getting very good! He reads these forums and picked up so many good ideas and psychological advice from this...

    Marketsurfer Destroys The iWatch

    Great a That was a hell of a article and these Threads give the same feel my Apple Junkie friends are bitching complaining about with their i-Watch. The "Eight-Hour-Battery" Syndrome has bummed these Apple Geeks pretty good and many won't buy it unless they fix the battery. One of the guys...

    Should I change my broker?

    I was going to write a really good reply but feel I am too cheap to share my ideas, the opportunity cost of writing and sharing versus reading one of Xandman, BlackPacman, Market Surfer's, Phoenix's Doji's threads was too compelling of trade. How can you teach generousity to people who won't...

    In this new economy you don't even need to work, youtube is all you need...

    I heard something about Google paying it's top channels six to seven figures plus stock-options not to jump ship to Vemio because those channel operators control so much web-flow. Chrome Store is allowing software developers their own way to make a living, one such person created the software...

    The free stock-trading app Robinhood is taking all comers

    You learn the hard way everyone's not like IBKR, I threw out a Market Order like a idiot on MCD recently, bid and ask rapidly expanded, no they exploded on news Bid $1.50x$3.00 and guess where I got filled. Eventually all worked out and those contracts went to $6.00 but they were only worth...

    The free stock-trading app Robinhood is taking all comers

    What are they offering and how reliable is it? Cheap commissions often cost people lots of cash, I can tell you how a $3.00 commission costed me $1500 on my option trade. We need more information what your offering, what's it all about?

    Anyone gave up trading for a living?

    I traded LL today buying the $30 Puts hitting New Lows, this stock looks like a mess and I wonder how far it's going to die. I agree Scalping is more ideal and less risky than holding options(wasting asset) and stocks long-term unless you really do your homework and follow a Stop-loss program...

    Anyone gave up trading for a living?

    Thank you Sir Phoenix, it's great to experience Traders who really dig deep in to the all the price action and see things other's can't grasp. I've met more people on Elite Trader who know more about Trading and Charts than all time wasted on Message Boards like Yahoo and other Joke Boards...

    Anyone gave up trading for a living?

    The "Oil Stock Cycle" is a really hard thing to figure out, me and BlackPacman were discussing Gold and Oil stocks sneaking up around early Feb as money-flow was absorbing various oil stocks. That day I think my friend BP bought lots of oil stocks and I bought BBEP before it jumped from $6 to...

    Are these market data fees competitive?

    I am getting all my fees paid if I do the volume required by my Brokerage, I generate enough commissions to cover my data fees of $400 each month for incredible software. They charge $0.03 for Taking while Posting gives you a -$0.022 to $0.023, usually I don't pay ECN fees and get rebates on...

    Micheal Jordan is very good with his money management, if all NBA and NFL Stars were as good as watching, no guarding, their money like Mr. Jordan all would be so rich!

    Anyone gave up trading for a living?

    The cost structure is insane, your reasons make sense! With order-flows trying to seek lower costs because of CME, CBOE , ICE and other Exchanges costs that keep going up, it's hard for firms to make money. People need time off to reassess their life and see if working for someone else has...

    Blown up accounts

    I blew up because of externalization of evil people screwing with me outside of the Market. Taking my vengeance to the Stock Market was insane, don't you think? Being a utter buffoon and thinking "I don't give a damn if I blow up, that's a great trading mindset!if I lost money, it meant...

    SniperDaytrader´s journal

    Sniper, I am sorry I jumped on this thread because it sounded like you were frustrated with your trading style. Did not know you were using this as a Trading Journal, my bad and please forgive me. My input was not welcome and usually I do avoid speaking on some Forums about this subject...

    SniperDaytrader´s journal

    Don't wish to change your ways, if your very happy with your results, I think guys who are making consistent six-figures since the early 1990s have no business telling you what to do. I will shut my mouth, got out of my HAIN at $54+ ($7,000 gain for the day trading, not bad!). Other's Traders...

    SniperDaytrader´s journal

    Turv, exactly as shown by so many people who are afraid to enter a trade. I was watching my favorite stocks fall and thought, why am I sitting on my ass while HAIN is down $1.00 before earnings? Stepped up and bought 3000 shares at $52.2-52.60, added more at $52.90 and more at $53.3, started...

    What's the Secret Selling Blocks of Apple Weekly Contracts? 2,000 to 20,000 contracts.

    What's the best way to unload blocks of Weeklies without causing price distortions in the Market? If someone was to buy 3,000 contracts of the Apple $113 below $.14 and add to that position until they had 5,000 Calls, how do you sell the contracts without impacting the Option or Stock Prices...

    FXCM stock discussion

    Stock Analysts were Downgrading FXCM before the Trade Halt was lifted, why not make this call on Monday, Tuesday, Wed or on Thursday, that was the day the Swiss made their move right? It still was above $10.00 if my math is right on Thursday Jan 15th. One guy downgraded it to $4.00, they be...

    Is Apple Running Out of Steam? The Flash Crash was not wrong?

    Chris it's feeling a lot like 1997 right now right before the Asian Contagion and Dr. John Meredith (LTCM Hedge Fund) with Europe. Sorry for my spelling errors, writing in three languages screws the brain up at times. The move by the Swiss is making me a bit anxious as we see people move in to...
