    Anyone notice an uptick exempt edge?

    Wow HYDRO that was some post, I hope you feel better, and I am honored that you think so much of me that you were willing to take at least an hour to construct a lengthy post in my honor!:) What you fail to realize my little boy, is that my P&L last year and this year is nearly as good as my...

    Anyone notice an uptick exempt edge?

    I have made money every year for five years, and those that know me know how I trade and that I get the job done. I trade pretty good volume, and make money in all market conditions. Flame on if you will, a couple of losers like you and hydro need this type of validation to support your meager...

    Another LCTM Blow up, Who?

    Have you actually taken the time to consider your points here. I will address you one last time, then you can post whatever you like, and have the final word. Trading so large and taking on leveraged risk so as to cause systemic risk is irresponsible and wrong. Perhaps develop a few...

    Another LCTM Blow up, Who?

    I am not holy crusader, I understand that there is risk in trading, and some win and some lose. Someone who deliberately put on such size with extreme leverage so as to cause risk to the entire system, and I am talking the potential of major defaults and shifting our country back into a major...

    Another LCTM Blow up, Who?

    If you are taking so much risk that your positions are blowing you out of the game, then it isn't about just making money, it is a hail mary pass. It's wrong, it's irresponsible, and unnacceptable. This type of trade is strictly about EGO, IMO! When I trade, it is about responsibly...

    Don's openings and more for 2005

    My strategy summary told me to BUY this morning, Filled on 25 longs and about 6 shorts, then they started to move against me, at my worst point I was only down about 3k, which wasn't too bad considering how much stock I had long and the market wasn't cooperating, but then the market turned, and...

    Another LCTM Blow up, Who?

    Great, just what we need! Time to bail out another hero who is willing to risk everything for his own personal edification.

    Anyone notice an uptick exempt edge?

    Whether or not I am rich depends on how you define the term. As for your post, I see you are still full of a lot of hot air. If you put half the effort you put into posting towards improving your trading, I have no doubt you would be making good money. Attitude and perception is important...

    CNBC - Cramer's Mad Money

    I actually like that strategy for SHLD. Once you take a look at who's running the company, and their business plan going foreward, this company could very well be the next Berkshire Hathoway. This is a better bet than most other trades IMO, heck, most probably spend more money on lottery...

    Anyone notice an uptick exempt edge?

    Well, I have certainly found an edge in getting short some of these stocks that I trade, I dont encounter too much competition, and I trade profitably. So far, looks like a winner to me. I anticipated there would be a few ways to play these stocks and so far I am proving myself correct. :)...

    E Trade - another prop bites the dust

    There is still plenty of money to be made "daytrading" I am profitable, have been for the past 5 years, and looks like this year is right on track as well. While trading a low vol market is much different, once you adapt your strategies, it is just as easy to make money. The key, is to be a...

    add to a losing positon

    I can make trades based upon my research and put the probabilities on my side, as for your better return with less risk argument, just doesn't add up. Risk is risk, if you are in the market you are assuming market risk. Second, trading is about making money. I could care less about the...

    add to a losing positon

    Simply untrue, the worst blow ups happen overnight, and there is nothing anyone can do to prevent this type of loss. You wake up in the AM and realize that your position is $15 against you at the open. These are the trades that put traders out of business! One important note, I am not...

    add to a losing positon

    Everybody can point to the stories of the blow ups, have you ever taken the time to research those who have success with the strategy? My guess is probably not. Adding to losers, or averaging in, or whatever symantecs you want to use to referenece the strategy has both a time and place that...

    ISP for multiple PC offices

    Cable works fine until you get a bunch of people suddenly jumping on line, I would never consider using it for trading.

    Don's openings and more for 2005

    Was a good trading week here, we booked profits across the board on opgs, overnights, pairs, crutch, convergence and divergence trading, and momentum trading. Today was a light day, only made $2000! As for the rest of the week, I will leave that up to fellow etr's to figure out. :) Those...

    A trading Idea

    Who cares if he has a chat room, who cares if he makes money, that is what we do here in the states. Business is what makes this country work, nothing else! There really is a prevailing "crabs in a bucket" mentality here on ET.

    Nice trade Brandon! I was planning on watching it and taking the trade and go caught up with another trade, and missed it! :(

    add to a losing positon

    I am a short term trader, out within minutes, 1 or 2 days at the most. I am able to make fantastic money following this approach, I can add to my losers and trade out of them, My winners, well, I take profits, no time to let them run as I already have an excessive return in them, to bet on them...
