    What do you think about this?

    Zboy hit it right on. I'm successful as a trader (I'd love to be more successful, but I think +75% so far this year qualifies me as successful enough), but I could teach 50 people just what im trading, including exact entry and exit points and stops, and what I'm looking for. Unless the person...

    great new pattern

    Should have done better. I took another 3k at .2 today on the "breakout" I then sold all 11k for a .38 or so average. I made about 3100 after commish. I should have gotten more, but was snookered... I bet it still goes to 2 by the end of the week. I think im going to stop posting these cause the...

    great new pattern

    I liked the action in aga today, I took another 2500 at the bell for 1.04 i think. That makes 8k total. I'll probably add 3-5k more tomorrow if it can get over 1.06 or so.... And scale out starting at 1.4-1.5, .9 stop.

    decimal vs. fractions

    add qcom and vrts, maybe jdsu, and you have them all. I think it's just cause of the lower prices, not decimals.

    CyberCorp Data Feed\Qchart Problems

    Cyber is really wierd on shorts. The secret is to just hog them. If you submit a list of all the shares you want at the beginning of trading, you can set aside 5-10k of everything by 8:20. That way you always have shares. I guess it sux for everyone who doesn't know about this though cause by...

    great new pattern

    Im still long all 5500, my stop is .9, or the low of tomorrow if it's higher. There was constant selling in that a 5k buyer wouldn't be able to lift a 5k offer, but on the upside, today was the first day since I started watching that I saw a single buyer step up, even if it was short covering...

    anyone daytrading spiders SPY, QQQ, DIA

    The qqq's trade really great through island. The problem is that the largest moves you can catch intraday are around 1 pt. And to make it worthwhile you need a few k shares. It is much more profitable I think to just thrade the nq or em futs. They are just as liquid, and you have much more...

    great new pattern

    I just entered aga for my first scalp attempt. I was filled on 5500 at 1.03. I will add more if it starts to move up. Probably up to a 10k position. This is the first day in a while that it's been green, but I doubt that i'll hold more than 2k overnight. My stop is a nickle under the low of...

    cgpn

    Unless you know something about the fundies of this company, I'd avoid it. The chart really looks like poop, and anything under 2 bucks isn't worth your trouble unless it's super oversold and due for a dead catter.

    trading nyse

    For those who trade NYSE, or want to learn. THe only way to learn how to read one, is to just watch him. Watch him from 9:30-4:00. Don't stop. Watch him for at least a month or 3. When you think you understand him, move onto 3 or 4 more. After having watched specialists for almost 3 years now, I...

    ideal broker

    mjt, thanx. I've looked into all, and holdbros offered me a nice per share rate. I recommend that you call them and see what they'll do for you. I forgot to ask about a cap though. I think it was echotrading that had a 25 a ticket cap. But I rarely do large ticket trades. Instead I average into...

    great new pattern

    On april 4 I believe by looking at the chart I finally bought. It had traded over 600k shares or so by 11 I think. I don't remember the exact particulars, but I must have seen higher than normal volume, and when it made a new daily high I bought. I have my data from penson. I obviously missed...

    great new pattern

    I don't want anyone to get screwed by this one. They're on the verge of bankruptcy, and may not be around by the time you start trading tomorrow, but AGA follows this pattern to a T. I wouldn't be surprised to see it run to 2 or 3 for an easy double. I have no position yet, and do your own dd...

    Decimalization

    I traded amzn today, and was very impressed. I could really move 5-8k like buttah... I think it was easier than with fractions cause on fractions, I'd dump 3k and the bid would drop a teeny, and I'd dump another 4k and the bid would drop again. Here, since everyone isn't lined up, you can just...

    New Pricing at Cyber

    How is this significantly different. It looks like the same tier system, but it's a 2 min rule instead of a 5 min one which really sux for me, cuase it's hard to move a lot of shares fast.

    large orders fills

    You're gonna have better results chopping that block up into 2 or 3 smaller ones and firing them simultaneously. But you shouldn't have trouble moving 4k on something that trades 10 mil. Especially since we have decimals now, you can just sweep up .1 and take everything on 2k shares, then wait...

    How fast is ARCA?

    I don't know about the ah thing cause I often see 500+ share redi and island orders lock each other. When i traded with terranova, you could see the arca overhang. I actually could pull an island order if i was fast enough, but inca orders usually get 3-5 seconds extra.
