Cheese, While most of your posts are borderline rude (yet realistic), I have to agree with you on this one. This guy's a sheep walking into a wolves den.

Thats a chat log. What you need an execution log for? I don't see a trade for the price and time you mentioned. An execution log is a software based log that shows, indefinetely, what your clearing firm is going to settle. To prove I trade better then you? Well, yes. RAI was a good...

Okay, In looking at my data, RAI did not trade at 96.25 at 12:06pm today. We are most likely in different time zones so do you have an execution log? Mike

traderNik, My intention wasn't to give CW the benefit of the doubt, I'm just not a reactive person. I keep thinking of that old saying: "give a man enough rope and eventually he's gonna hang himself" To put it in context, my Mother is bipolar and currently off her meds. She's very...

Seeing as this thread is presenting some misleading and biased information, let me state some facts about the use of margin and the capital requirements of trading futures versus stocks. While I hope people do their own research and come to their own conclusions rather than trust information...

I lost close to 80% of my account when I was younger. It was a small account compared to what I have now but back then it really hurt bad. I wasn't even day trading then, I just didn't want to take losses no matter what. Seven some years later and losses still suck but I have no problem with...

Sunrise in Nicaragua.

Travelling to a 3rd world country always put things in perspective for me. That and the coffee maker I got - its one of those that grind the beans and brews right away. Look forward to it every morning. Picture is in the middle of the Indian Ocean. Make it your goal to find this place at...

I live a life of zero regrets. Sure, I've done lots of dumb things. Today alone I can count the number of stupid things to be about six. I don't regret any one of them, they did cost me some but oh well. I'm not in this business to be "smart and right" all the time. Still netted about ~300...

TrendFader, Just as I suspected, only amateurs with lots to learn make 4 points over a 2 day time frame...:) Good trade and make sure to rub it in to our resident "pro" uninvited_guest. Mike

Don't ever think that it can't get any worse, it will.

Ummm, I don't know you but you are the one sounding naive (and rather annoying). The stock could EASILY pull back to 73 tomorrow. Funny huh? Stocks pulling back from their highs? Geez, that NEVER happens... Maybe you have LOTS to learn.

I do not watch or listen to anything. No noises and no distractions for me. I do usually check the Bloomberg and Yahoo Finance websites pre-market for anything significant. Today for example, the expectations for the Fed hike ... nice fun trading day as the reaction was well recieved. Mike

No. I use limits almost exclusively. Fills are not a problem in the markets I trade. My prior planning of the trade allows the price to "trade-through" the limit order - I anticipate this and let it work for me. Given this, if the price doesn't enter my entry area, the trade is not worth it...

A 1 minute chart is too short of an interval, longer term buyers and sellers do not change their intentions in minute time frames. I'm not sure if you understand the basic concepts of price/volume analysis. Markets trend, oscillate, trend, oscillate, etc, etc... imbalances of supply and...

I'm 27 from Santa Barbara, CA. Been trading stocks part time since I was 19 and started trading full-time 2.5 years ago. Recently started trading futures (<2months). EDIT: My time frames are anything from 1 hour to 1 week.

Remiraz, You make some bland and incorrect assumptions when trying to calculate a "house edge". While I strongly believe that no such thing as a "house edge" exists in trading, I will go over some fairly basic rules of probability distributions and the way in which supply/demand ideas...

TraderNik, I was picking up on your point regarding female intuition rather than the brain wave/electrical impulse study that the article you attached refers to. I just do not believe intuition is gender specific. I know I've got it (intuition) and unless I'm a hermaphrodite (which I'm...

I do not think females have any lesser/greater intuitive prowess. The hormonal structures of the brain are what speak towards the different behavioral patterns, but, subconsciously, the male and female brain interprets information the same way. We are talking about subconscious...
