well allaces/trend guy I wouldn`t mind being open-minded............. so if you guys talk about price action only, when would you guys put on a trade? Is this about trends? And if so, where would you guys jump in?:)

I think this journal is absolutely crazy just a guy that gives you all the roller coaster figures at the end of each week without giving you an idea of what he`s doing. goes to meetings with a big shaky trade on without stop loss I suppose. does that sound like somebody who`s trading for...

hello folks, I would like to protect my stock holding against any massive drop in price, that happens once every 5-7 years. To put in a short portfolio to balance out my long portfolio is too time consuming, takes out too much of my trading capital and is sometimes too costly. An out of...

hi folks, old trader mentioned that buying an out of the money put is an expensive way of having protection against a big fall. now if I have a portfolio of stocks, what if I always have a sell order on that if say the DOW drops 100/150 points I will sell something (futures, options...

hello folks, I have been wondering about a strategy to go with stocks which are in an up-trend. For liquidity reasons choose from the S&P500 stocks and scan for stocks that have gone up the most in the last month. Have a look at the chart that the stock is in a steady uptrend and...

shorting MA looking on the chart for confirmation by then you probably missed the boat. others might think it will bounce back and they will short then, but its all a risky game. I just sometimes wonder about those high fliers to do the following: why not determine their ATR and...

hello stock trader, I agree that what you have is a good system. ok, it will have its losses but you should be able to make 25-50% profits depending on the market. A simular strategy with all the facts like money management etc is available at alanhull.com.au I dont have anything to do...

hi folks, I was trading the ultra low otc and pink sheet stock, you know like 0.02 cents per share for a while and wow did I make some nice profits in the first month. Well it didn`t last long aye and the next month the fun began. The reverse splits were coming left - right - and centre...

it is downright a disgrace that man should earn 40x5.15= $ 206 a week. and pay tax on that I suppose. there is a wide divide between rich and poor in the US and its only getting worse. countries like Australia and New Zealand have a minimum wage of $ 11.70 and $ 10.00 an hour, so it can be...

thank you dd I tried to do your trick, but it said that conditional orders can only be done with limit or market orders, not with stop/limit orders. In my example, if the open is at say $ 49.60, IB would buy those shares for me, because the limit is $ 50.20 or better. Am I wrong here...

hello folks, IB is my broker and they have 40 different order types, so I wonder why I`m getting confused sometimes. I`m trading the Darvas way so how should I place the following order example?????????? Say the highest price for a stock was $ 50.00, its now $ 49.50 and I want to place...

well this thread seems to be quite dead now I did my scan and it came up with DGIN IDBE VRTX VPHM these stocks are at their high for the year, so we wait for a high and a low for the top box we`ll also watch the volume that it stays up also we want a lively bouncing up and down in the top...

hello Toby, great to see you trading according to Darvas principles I haven`t been trading like that myself as yet, but I did make quite a study of his way of trading. I see that you`re returning a profit after 4 years of losses, so thats just great......I`ve been trading for 7 years...

hey ids, I`m a customer of IB and I`m sure IB doesn`t know or care if customers are happy in my experience
