    Is Elitetrader a Joke ?

    Hmmm...take a contrarian stance to the majority here. It could work! :)

    By the way, just wanted to say it's ya'll's fault

    Yep, its all your fault. I was just thinking about how I'm a happy, active member of E.T. And I realized that I came here, originally, during the real estate boom because there was some really good info on real estate investing here. So I hung around. And ya'll poisoned my mind...

    The loneliness of success

    I get that. And I know that my methods would work on day trading. The real distinction is how much difference noise makes. For example, if you are day trading over...say...1/2 hour...and the stock's price increases by 1/4 percent most of that price increase might be from random...

    The loneliness of success

    Huh? Piles, as in the disease? Or deep foundations? Or piles of excrement?

    The loneliness of success

    No, I'm real. Interestingly, I think people are assuming I'm a day trader, but I'm really a swing trader and I make about 2% to 3% a week. Thats pretty good if you understand compounding. There might be better swing traders out there or way better day traders...don't know what the bench marks...

    The loneliness of success

    The issue that I perceive is that if I were to talk about it with friends, some would want to know EXACTLY what I'm doing. And if I told them, and they told others...you get my drift. So I don't want to broach the topic with them because they will continually fish for details and then...

    Yes...there are tons of failed traders. :)

    The loneliness of success

    The distinction is that I can't talk about what i'm doing and its killing me. I have plenty of friends, but I just can't discuss what I'm most interested in with them. In that aspect, I'm lonely. No guilt over the success (yet) either. :)

    The loneliness of success

    Heh...nothing I'm doing or have done is for sale...I assure you. I have a dog and its a pain in the ass. The other advice is good. I'm open to more ideas. SM

    The loneliness of success

    Hey guys. I have an edge. Put away your argument about whether there is such a thing as an edge or not...but my point is that I'm now consistently making money in the markets. Decent money, and while it is not as much as I thought I'd make when I first started trading, it's still enough to...

    coin collecting

    If you're hoarding silver, then hoard silver. But while you're doing that, you can *also* collect coins. Buy good quality stuff. I used to characterize it as buying "the stuff you never see", but rarity has been re-defined by E-bay. The other thing about coins is that the margins on them...

    I'd like to give you my honest opinion, but I'm being watched.

    Acronymns!

    The Acronymns on this board drive me nuts! I spend more time trying to decipher them than I want to. I have the fundamentals down and can even profitably trade. But I want to learn more and sometimes some a key Acronymn makes an interesting well-thought-out post indecipherable. Stop it...

    Calling it a day after reaching a profit target?

    Was it the font I used? :) Could you be more specific?

    Calling it a day after reaching a profit target?

    I know a day trader that does this and it works for him. I'm a swing trader. Here's food for thought: Consider the random walk and the roulette wheel. Let's pretend that we have a special roulette wheel that doesn't have the non-colored portions of the wheel and imagine that it can be only...

    Smart Money's Swing Trades Thru T.A.

    I'm there with you. Shorting was a mistake. I held over the weekend, which compounded a bad move. But from what I can figure out, EDZ and TZA will gap lower, but I think they'll cover about 2/3 of that gap within a couple hours to mitigate loss. So I'm going to wait. Both are about as low...
