The single most important thing, for me was this. Never get into a move after its well under way. Wait for a retracement or consolidation. This is old news but an extremely hard habit to break is chasing moves that are already under way. When you learn to let the market come to you, the odds...

lol, you are qwik:) However I must say that I've also wondered what the failure rate is at the prop firms. Don, you listening?

Who would doubt that there is a lot of manipulation going on during extended hours? I dont know how much of it is mm's and how much is greedy retailers but who cares? It adds volatility to the market and volatility is the name of the game as far as I am concerned.

Stockkbroker Are you trading strictly company money or do you have "earnest" money at risk?

Chris I wanted to start a new thread for this subject as I would like to get as much input as possible. You stated in another post that flags had a 70 to80% winning ratio. I almost choked on my martini when I read that. I have never read anywhere of any patterns that had that kind of...

Private You own some stock? The previous replies knew the post was tongue-in-cheek. Sorry if I stepped on any toes. I would not post any stock picks here.

Oh he's definitely confused..:)

We also need to know what you had for lunch. Thanks

Chris Please share with us the patterns that have 70-80% success ratio. Somehow they have eluded me.:)

Candletrader I'll drink to that!:D

SB "I think the marke is going down again today" That kind of thinking can kill you....

I read in the paper Sunday that Kimberly Clark spent 80 million revamping its Beech Island plant to manufacture moisturised toilet paper. This product will sell for $8.99 for a four pack. With a managment team like that I don't like this companies chances in the near future.

I know one anyalyst came out with a sell this morning so I don't think I would buy any. :D

Why do I get the feeling you don't have any kids, Rock?

It seems to me like there is a tendency to read and reply mostly to the posts showing on the home page and once a post drops down into the main list its chances of getting responses drops dramatically. This is why I liked the longer "hotlist" that we used to have. Am I just imagining this?

"that will average around $200-$300 per day. It's ok to laugh, but that's all it would take to honestly make a big difference in my life. " I'm not laughing because there's nothing funny about it. A lot of people start out with the same notion, as if making $200-$300 was a piece of...

I know what I can expect to make in a day and I always try to limit my losses to about half of that. The better I've gotten at sticking to it, the better my bottom line has become. Its hard sometimes because it puts me out first thing in the morning but the pressure to make it back distorts your...

Praetorian2 specializes in illiquid stocks. I havent seen him post anything lately but they had a chat site at yahoo called elitetrader. You might check that out.

I have read about people who were great at making calls but lousy at trading. I can see how that would be possible. If you werent worried about your money you see things clearer. I think this is exactly what makes trading so incredibly difficult. You have to be a great caller AND a great...

Have enjoyed the room so far Chris, but it appears to be the same as LBR's which has been around for awhile. Are you just putting more emphasis on stocks with this one? Phantom is not the Phantom from Futuresmag is he?
