Hi all I've been testing VMA recently for day trading using it as an entry signal when volume crosses surpasses it combined with a movement in price. Results have been 50/50.. which is dissapointing since I thought above average volume acompanying a price movement would be a pretty decent...

But are there fundamental reasons to short it? I ask because I bought some shares recently based on the relative strength it has shown recently and the CEO comments that bankruptcy was out of the question. J

Why would you want to short YRCW?

This market is a joke, trade at your own peril J

Hi all I couldn't help being lured recently into an online "premium" service that charges a fee and gives you stock picks, but all of them are prices below one cent! I tried buying one of these stocks and I got booted by my broker. These people claim all their picks go up triple and quadruple...

Hi Am looking for resources that explain in detail how the price of a stock is determined throughout the day. What are the actual details behind supply and demand that work their way through to the price that one sees on a chart? Why does price go up 30 cents instead of 10 cents? I want to...

Here's another example with volume. It's a 2min chart and see how price was 'stuck' between 9.99$ and 10.00$ for almost 2 hours between 12:15pm and 2pm. What does this mean? Not enough participants? J

When a stock's candlestick chart behaves in the fashion attached, what does it mean? In case you can't see the attachment, it's when price seems to be stuck for a while in a 1cent range, with candles of the same size printing for minutes and minutes as if there where two large computers one with...

Hi all Was wondering if anyone here can comment on whether trading presents limitations when you start to trade higher volumes of shares. When you are trading a 50k account, 1000 share orders get executed without hassle, but what if you had $10m? Could you place an order for say, 200,000...

OK, I won't open a friends and family fund to trade it and make a living. Thank you so much, wise men, for talking me out of it. What was I thinking? J

Well, I've been paper day trading stocks for about 6 months now. I spend about an hour before the market opens scanning the news, upgrades, downgrades, earnings if any. I identify 4 shorts and 4 longs, and then I wait for volume to confirm price direction by crossing its own 200SMA. After that I...

Hi all Looking for help from anyone out there running a small fund for family-friends. Suppose you gather 10k from 5 members, and you turn the 50k into 100k over a period of a year, - How much do you keep of the 50k profit? - Do you charge this quarterly or yearly? - How do guarantee...

Proper trading, with a trading plan, rules for entry and exits, pre-calcularted PL ratios, scans based on technical or fundamental for stock selection, etc. etc, i.e. a system for trading is only like gambling if you are a pro, you count cards, or have some other system to beat the house. If...

I agree with everything you say NoDoji, but to me someone who goes long a stock that's been upgraded or short one that has been downgraded is a gambler, that is not a trading system If it were that simple, anyone could simply subscribe to briefing.com's morning update, receive in the email...

"betting on a good apreciation after the upgrade" i believe neke wrote on friday. Not gambling? Hmmmmmm.....

Neke i have a question do you have an algorythm or scan or a set of rules to pick the stocks you trade or are you just gambling? Your approach to GOOG last week seems to be one of a gambler nothing wrong with gambling, just curious thanks!
