    Bidu about to tank down below $80

    You're pretty confident, and I don't have reason to doubt you. You have a good track record so far. Are you leveraged with a ton of puts? Also, are you using fundamentals for your evaluation, technicals, or a combination? You don't have to give me your secrets, obviously.

    Bidu about to tank down below $80

    I have the exact opposite position. I'm long DAKT going into earnings. We'll see what happens.

    On "gaps"

    Thanks, I do have that book. I think it's a great contribution to technical analysis. Bulkowski is *extremely* under-rated. The guy's work is a tome.

    On "gaps"

    Anyone have any stats on how often gaps are filled? In my experience, probably 70-80% of the time, but I have no hard data.

    HANS

    My 32.50 entry was a little pre-mature, but I'm going to hold on tight. I see it reaching mid 34s tomorrow, as it tries to test the top of today's range. After that, we'll probably have a ton of consolidation.

    HANS

    I just picked up a ton of HANS at 32.50. I think the selloff is a little overdone. It's got a gap, too, so it'll bounce from here. This is an easy 5-10%. Easy like Sunday mornin'.

    Any thoughts on HANS? This one tends to really deliver on earnings day to the upside.

    IB: How long do they hold wires?

    I sent in a wire on Friday morning, July 21, and it still hasn't updated on the site as received. It still says that they are waiting. What gives?

    Who's the best broker for me?

    I am a relatively small trader (account is around 25K, but I don't daytrade) who swing trades stocks, futures, and very light options. I'm looking for a discount trader and I need no handholding. I do, however, need to be able to access the platform from any terminal (computer) without...

    Does IB have a web interface?

    Awesome. Mobile trading would indeed help. I do have access to wireless with my Axim X51V. Although, I can always get to a computer for 10-15 minutes. I'm a medical professional and often only have a few minutes in the day to access my account to actually place trades. I do all my...

    Does IB have a web interface?

    How easy is it to access IB from any computer in the world? Do I have to have Java? How steady and reliable is the website? I can't always be sitting at home on my computer, is why I ask. Thanks in advance.

    Breakouts vs. Breakout Failures?

    Just wondering how many people trade breakouts vs. breakout failures? I've been trading breakouts with a moderate degree of success. I'm up more than double this year, but on a very small portfolio (under 25K). Van Tharp talks about using breakout failures since so many people try to use...

    The Dan Zanger interview

    Ah yes, the legendary Bulkowski. I tried that program out a few months ago very briefly. It did look very promising but the only thing was that it seemed to recognize way too many patterns and also, you had to download 1 symbol at a time. Other than that, can be very promising. I...

    The Dan Zanger interview

    calmlynx, I subscribe to Zanger's letter and agree that it has really slowed down a bit over the past year or so. Can you suggest some other services with similar styles?

    SHLD Short

    I like this one has a short candidate. Currently standing at 152.60. I think it will fill its gap so it comes down to the low 140s.
