    def censored...that sucks ..post your opinion

    I think it's fair to limit commercial exploitation of the board, but it should be done across the board. There are several who don't advertise but use this forum regularly and should be censored as well. Kind of like the "Axis of Evil" not including China. Without the paid advertisers...

    stops just outside day highs and lows

    I read your question wrong the first time. People actually enter long at the Highs and short at the Lows as well. These are high percentage turning points. People aren't only taking losses at these points.

    would this work?

    You're on the right track. Trading is only a game of probabilities so if get them in your favor you have an edge. Probably need to take volatility into account so you aren't prematurely whipsawed on some stocks. I bet in the long run, if done right, you could make money doing that. Find...

    stops just outside day highs and lows

    People only do it because it works overall. When too many do it the fills get terrible and the method wanes. It's never really failed to work (overall) though in my experience so I believe it would be a losing proposition. :)

    Inexperienced Trader Question

    I was short over 4,000 shares going into this morning and subsequently flipped most of them long by days' end. I lost $1,000 on the reversal but made about a $1,000 from my longs performing well. The only reason I'm even for the day is I had a plan for the market going up or down ahead of...

    how many of y'all swing?

    I do both but prefer swing trading because of the more consistent profits (for me), lower commissions, and less time involvement. Hoping to one day get my system automated and get even more free time. Bruce F mentioned using alarms to enter positions, I like to use stops, especially since I...

    What was your worst slippage?

    I flip positions at the H/L of the day (via stop), and normally get a good pop from all the stops going off. But lately everything is faded so my trades are just entries into hopefully longer term positions (hours to days). My stops are usually pretty wide, so I ride out all the fading...

    What was your worst slippage?

    I like to flip my trades around automatically, so it was done with a buy stop for 1200 shares (600 cover + 600 long). It wasn't a trade I'd voluntarily take if I had been there. I've done this for years and have many good experiences from flipping so this anomaly won't stop me, I'll just...

    What was your worst slippage?

    A popular direct access broker on these boards. I was routed to Island and filled for 500 shares, and Instinet for 100 shares at $22.55. Supposedly under their "best" routing. It was a market order, but it's hard to believe it took more than a minute to find a seller? I question whether the...

    What was your worst slippage?

    As mentioned in a previous thread, I had a stop market order entered on ESST for $19.50 to cover a short position of 600 shares and was filled at $23.20. This was $3.70 of slippage to me. Has anybody experienced a worse fill than this in their trading career? I've never come close in 15...

    Advice needed about top traders!

    I predict this thread will end soon! If this site caters to the "used car" salesman of the investment world, then why are you asking advice from us? :D :D :
