trade the markets is john carter (and hubert senters) trade the markets is NOT trading markets, which is larry connors' organization. carter did some stuff for connors maybe 7 years ago? i think hubert senters might have as well. carter had a course titled something like "how i trade the...

TTM is NOT tradingmarkets. carter did some stuff for tradingmkts, then went off on his own. not praise or condemning.

why not use the search feature here? lots of discussion of past expos already on the board.

keep up the good work, guys...give me 20+ years, and hopefully i can join you on the side of "long time successful"...

unlike many trading books, this one is worth buying.

i don't have a number where i'll stop trading. however, i know that if i have a lot of really good trades, i'll get greedy on future trades and be more likely to have poor risk/reward. therefore, i WILL stop trading if i feel that i might start to mentally slip. there's no way for me...

cramer's action alerts portfolio, from 2002-2008, down more than 10%. can you afford to follow his advice?

thought it was only s&p500 companies?

os - wasn't looking for details, just general things. i do some intraday extreme reversion to mean, and the typical buy pullbacks on strength / sell pullbacks on weakness. but you basically answered much of my question with this: and that's exactly why i *wasn't* trading much of the NYSE...

os - are you trading opening reversions (from specialist days), or what area? which area did you feel most comfortable trading 10 years ago?

my first days were august '99. i had traded while at a full time other job, then left on my own. was fading huge up moves, and you'd see wacky stuff - YHOO in S&P500 or something like that, and the intraday RSI was at near 100 most of the day...JDSU buys SDLI for a huge premium, and JDSU...

well, it works now...first time in a week.

if so, has data / updates gone smoothly recently? thanks.

oldschool - when i take a week off from trading, it takes me a day or two to get back in the swing of things - unless i have a perfect setup or something like that. if you've been off for 10 years, it's normal to be out of synch with lots of things. even for stuff that *hasn't* changed...

wow, i must have made a mistake in computing my P&L! better get back and see where my brokerages screwed up. and so must several people i know.

thanks for the info don! i'll register @tabb and check it out....

are you in the suburbs and not a farm/rural area? if so, join a gym. lots o' people action, you can go for an hour during some of the days where midday action is slower. get out of the house and take a walk. i do other computer things when it's slow and i have to stay home, or do...

don't know if i'd agree with the 'much more profitable' part, since i don't know what the high end marketers are making. but it's definitely easier to teach people the basics, rather than trading and learning more than the basics. part of trading is only easy in hindsight. learning how...

i hope so. if there's more dumb day traders, there's a better chance of them being on the other side of my trade... but the author's article can really be dumbed down to two things: 1) academic types don't know how to do it, and i don't know how anyone can be doing it successfully, so it...

good - let's hope they listen to him, although i'm not holding my breath waiting for it... thanks for the update don!
