If I were you, I'd get a little more money and still try to short. We may have 6 more months of down markets and you'll be at a real disadvantage going against the trend. The uptick rule is a pain, but not impossible. I use market stops and don't have too many problems, but I haven't traded...

Try using buy and sell stops at the previous days high and low. PSC started dropping on August 28th, 2001, and has been dropping for a couple weeks, with a couple small reversals. On your trade, you could've put a buy stop above 9/10's high of 26.70 say 26.76. You would have been filled there...

My trading was mediocre until I got rid of indicators. Price and volume feed the indicators, so I figured why should I want to use an interpretation rather than the source? Play probabilities off price--if it's oversold, watch for a rebound then take a fixed risk for a greater reward. If a...

And I further state that we don't exist. For how could we if the primordial soup from whence we supposedly came didn't exist? Or even the mass of material on which the soup rested, or the heat from the sun which hadn't yet appeared in the sky? To say there is no God means it was up to some...

I've been using the free and then pro versions of Zonealarm for a couple years and they work great. Occasionally the program locks things up, but this is rare. Steve Gibson is a programming genius--if there is such a thing. Read Steve's very interesting documentary of how he handled a...

It would be nice for the membership status to be included when people rank Brokers, etc. Currently only their name is included. It appears some comments are just purposeful slams entered for competitive purposes. If you could see that they are an active participant their opinion might carry...

Sorry for the extreme digression here from trading and the thread, but... If you don't believe in "Religion," how do you explain "Matter?" The substance of our existence in the physical world. Evolution doesn't explain it! How did the material world begin? At first there was nothing, then...

Sorry for the confusion--that was who wrote the piece. I'm far from a Rabbi.

I'm glad we're on the right side of this one. Take a look at Israel on the map. Wow. I've read there were many amazing victories in their battles back in 67'--almost like they had someone helping them? hmmm?

The "Bloods" Gang from LA or Madonna's backup singers? Sounds like they have credible evidence on who most of the terrorists were on all the flights? Amazing they could figure it out so fast! I believe they are pretty sure its Ben-Laden connected now.

I agree pretty much with Grabbit. We need to find the source of this attack, neutralize it as much as possible, and put agreements in place with allies to fight terrorism in the future through technology, political means, and military if necessary. We have 10,000+ dead, but only 30-40...

PALESTINIAN TV The official Palestinian TV station broadcasts the Friday sermons from the main Mosque. What do the Islamic Imams (Moslem Priests) preach in the Mosque? Do they preach to their congregation about trying to have a ‘Peace Accord’ with Israel? Here is a translated portion...

They found the bags of a terrorist who apparently missed his connection at one of the airports, and they contained a fuel calculator, flight manuals for the Boeing planes, and most importantly Islamic materials including the Koran. I read somewhere that Islam's roots are from the same twelve...

It's a great broker to swing trade with. You can take on 15 positions of 200-300 shares each and have really low commissions compared to other direct access brokers. If you trade 1000's of shares per trade then you lose the advantage. You can also use OCA orders which are great for swing...

Shortnfool, you've been a back from the dead member 10 or so days and already surpass my # of posts! And I've been here a couple months. How do you come up with so much to say? :)

I have a Brainless system that averaged a 50% win rate for August, but also a 2 to 1 average profit to loss. It was up 15% in August overall. My systems profitability came from my reward/risk ratio being 2:1. There is an inverse relationship between win/loss ratio and reward/risk. but the...

Hey Praetorian, cool name...What do you see in BVSN? I would need a few beers before buying 66K of that stock. Are your trades based on oversold/overbought conditions or some other criteria? Dave D.

Great, time to settle stocks at my other brokerage and wire some money over. I see being able to use IB as a potential $2,000 savings per month in commissions.

What I meant to say is I hate gaps, whatever the cause. Ideally, I'd like everything to close at 4:00p.m. and force all the volume into that time slot, but that will never happen...Gaps are analogous to being in a war where every day at 4:00p.m. you have to take your flack jacket and helmet off...

Cybercorp has a good trailing stop feature that you can customize and it stays local on your computer. You can program multiple exit and entry points with their software based on price movement. The risk is if your computer crashes or locks up you don't have protection. I hear their service...
