    Another Very Simple Trading Strategy

    i have been noticing some very deep pullbacks in the recent past (on days that i have traded) of 75% or so, which is tricky to trade, particularly on gap days. what do you guys do?

    What do you call yourself?

    :) its interesting, i dont tell many people. but the few that i do, look at me with distain... and when i say i am working on a daytrading system- they look at me like "it cant be done." and these guys know how compulsive i am and that ive done some pretty interesting things and im...

    traders in the sierras?

    no kidding .... just transferred a bunch of services (costs/responsibilities) to the counties, which will also juice the sales taxes. but, davis can then blame the local municipalities for tax hikes. next in line - $100 parking tickets, the CHP writing tickets for 66 mph commuters on the...

    Recent trading conditions of Nas vs NYSE

    totally agree... if you watch closely, many times the naz has been leading the other two (unless i have an intermittent time lag). been thinking of trading the spyders off of the NAZ? the QQQS/NDX will be moving up and the last bar on the other 2 will still be read and then they turn up and...

    DEF: Ihope you got a bonus

    hey Big Ed, wow, $25 is what RJT charges for 10 trade confirmations (postage and handling) - that's 5 round trips. do 30 round trips in a day and you are out $150 for postage and handling. dude, compared to RJT, your broker gets an award.

    is it just me, or is that just totally messed up? pretty soon they'll be a .00001 charge per share for busted-trade insurance. might be worth it? or maybe they could just cut the SEC budget in 1/2 and put the money into a busted-trade/IB-pauper's fund. man, you're lucky - shouldda headed...

    yeah, it means if it goes against you're filled. if goes for you, you're cancelled. my 11 yo trades with me and she's like "what's up with that?" didnt have the heart to tell here that its really "pending rape of your account." i was actually going to go with IB, 'cause my trading buddy...

    yeah, hasnt been the same... before RJT was pretty good for a discount broker - referred a bunch of traders to them. i thought it was whatley or watley that bought RJT - at least they still honor the $5/trade fee for pre-buyout clients! the fills have gotten screwy too, i got "pending cancel"...

    Goin' off the rails...

    you are not GIVING high wage earners anything except the carrot to go out and earn more. maybe you havent owned as business, but you dont just open the doors and the money floods in from Day ONE. its an investment of time, money and most of all your life energy - and your commitments and...

    Goin' off the rails...

    since no one seems to want to say it (or have the nuts to speak up), i will: the high earners, employers and wealthy need a tax cut. i heard rush limbaugh on the radio go "on and on" about how a family earning $39,000 is gonna save $1,100 on taxes under bush's program. screw them - the...

    commissions

    if you're trading thru RJT, make sure the email conifrmations are enabled. mine became disabled and i was charged $2.50 per trade confirmation, which on a day of 60+trades would amount to over $150 - JUST FOR THE STATEMENT. they must really be hurting for cash to pull this crap!
