thanks Brandon, I sure take you advice on board........I only hope that a Giordano`s Pizza wont cost me $ 5,000?!?:cool: I`m very happy with you guys responses.:)

well I for one am very impressed with your results. now people might say that it is only because we had such a good market, but even in ranging and down markets you will find those gems although maybe less frequent. would you be able to detail your selection process what you look for in...

trend_guy, very interested in: emerging market leadership stocks are you talking about ADRs? would you mind taking the trouble to explain more about this? what the best websites/books are to get more info? thank you for your time.:cool:

thanks trend_guy, you`re right ofcourse, but then he initially would have a small position on. so much has been written about all facets of stock trading. is there nobody out there that has invented the best trailing stop(s) for all-time break-outs? are there any good books on this...

hi ehsmama, Darvas sure took his time to buy a stock and was observing them for weeks/months on end. He sure had bucket loads of patience. there was a guy here on ET who was copying Darvas` system, toby I think, and he bought stocks everyday. bit of a laugh though, `cos Darvas was so...

trend_guy, thanks for your explanation People think that Darvas took big risks with his positions. but is that actually true? if he bought stock and if the price went south, he was out in a flash., so never big losses. if the price went up, his trailing stop depended on the...

brandonf, thanks for your comments. I do realize what you`re saying and I`m not exactly a spring chicken after trading for 9 years. I think that it is very important for a system to have minimal losses and the profits will come. One of the best systems might be trading the break-out...

trend_guy, thanks for your post. No, you dont have to convince me that it is working; I know it is working, some years better than others I suppose. I`ve been thinking about going the Darvas way for years, but probably was always to impatient to wait for the set-up. At the moment I`m...

ah well, next one please...........:cool:

ofcourse it will work; stocks are still trying to climb to the moon. Blackstar Funds did a major search spanning 22 years: Does trend following work on stocks - buy every stock when it reaches an all-time high with a stop loss and a trailing stop with a mechanical system. Conclusion: Yes...

kiwi, its not always about hand holding or not taking personal responsibility. sometimes people like me have a genuine problem with IB. about 3 years ago the Canadian data wouldn`t display day orders or GTC orders (cant remember which) for a whole month and needless to say I didn`t feel...

hello folks, is anybody here doing this type of trading?:)

maybe funds are dumping stocks to be able to pay their customers?:confused:

thank you all for your contribution - much appreciated I sure am enjoying the ride while it lasts, but as a full time share trader I got to prepare myself for the down years. I would be negligent if I didn`t do that. I`m sure I dont have to go into non-trend following strategies, `cos...

yeah pissed, I`m doing real good now, far better than 20%. but eventually it will all come to a stop and a hard reversal. then what?:cool:

thanks kid, I must say the turtles are a bit different in that they are break-out traders and they`re hoping that a trend will follow after that. I would like to see a trend forming, before I jump in. However the management and the exits of the trades could be the same, although if I...

hi folks, thank you all for your suggestions. I was reading a book by Richard Farleigh "Taming the Lion" and I was very impressed. Despite the downturn in 2000/2001 he made more than 20% yoy. He is living in Monaco now with hundreds of millions of dollars. He is on the Australia rich...

thanks digs, any books that cover major markets trading long-term?:)

hi folks, most people are into playing around with stocks, but when the music stops for a few years, most of them have nothing to replace it with. I`m interested in looking at different markets for the long-term trends, be it global property, currencies, commodities, global stock markets...

hi, did you read his book Taming the Lion?
