    Trading breakouts

    ---------------- A breakout doesn't have to go below the breakout low for it to be a failed break...even a test of those lows would suggest that there are sellers trying hard to push down, and not enough bidders to support price. Within the first day or two, you'll know if you f---ed up, but...

    The only way to trade with fibonacci

    To piss you off more, there is a hedge fund that trades using astrology. The Astrologers Fund isn't a mutual fund. It's an institutional fund that manages money for high-net worth individuals and institutions. Weingarten declines to say how much he has under management. According to the...

    The only way to trade with fibonacci

    I could care less if it was fibs or not. WHY they work?.. I dont care. I could probably find mathematical relationships to trading, and how many times a day I take a sh-t. --- and yes MANY pro traders use fibs, and I know two of them. Do a search on youtube called Ratiotrading, these guys...

    The only way to trade with fibonacci

    It doesn't matter how many points really, its a matter of % risk in the account that I'm taking.. 1pt, 3.5, 4pts...doesn't matter, my risk never changes. ---- Obviously it's not outside the realm of trading if hundreds of thousands of people use it, now is it? It's like saying "OH...

    Trading breakouts

    yes, but out of 10 stocks, how many are strong enough to rocket up after a break out?..not many. When you have a breakout from the downside, you have a lot of people that are looking to get short on your "breakout"..this is why so many fail...and thats why i wait for the retrace. Not only is it...

    rimm active pre-market

    I'm no day trader, so I really don't have a clue how to read time/sales and L2, but when I saw that rimm was up 1+pt in pre-market, I wanted in, so when the market opened, it would gap up big, and I'd sell at the open...Didnt really happen. I'd also see green prints of something like this go...

    The only way to trade with fibonacci

    There is no way of knowing what fib will be respected. PERIOD. Happy? I drew some channels on a chart, I want you to tell me which channel, price will form support/ resistance at next AND at what price.

If the highest ask is 10 and I place a bid (limit order) at 10.01, am i going to get an instant fill or does someone have to adjust their order to 10.01 to fill me? ... also this would raise the price, by paying the ask, or above it slightly...why dont people do this, to help...

    Cranking up the heat

    I, like many people here have been following some journals where some guys are playing with a lot of leverage...::cough::cough:: :) , and I want to see if I can trade larger side as well. I'll be upfront and say that I'm kinda jelious of the returns these guys have made (and gasp at the losses)...
