Can someone tell me how to save files as gif.? I think I need to install a file to windows to allow me to save bit maps to gif. Any help would greatly be appreciated while solving this .doc file problem. Thanks in advance.

dstod, I hope the trade works well. Remember not to marry the idea, if the levels don't hold support at the 50 MA you should have mental or electronic stops set to keep losses small. This has always been the question for disciplined traders in the sense that the stops need to have some room...

DAT, Still in Mt. Crested Butte at Zach's race. I didn't get the e-mail but I do have connectivity. :)

trader5287, can you believe I had a chance to drive a cart just like the ARCA car and couldn't make it! ARCA invited me to drive that hummer but with only 450 hp and I couldn't make it. That hurt! Join our Web-X on Thursday if you would like a free view of some live trades. visit...

Here is my thoughts on AMGN for next week. This post was originally on p. 11 of the "trading expo" thread and reported here. My next post after this will go into deeper detail. Disclaimer: This is the opinion of the poster and not a recommendation. Every trader must make their own...

Time to talk markets. I skied all day and feel like I have been ridden like a rented mule, so I'm relaxing a bit playing w/ some charts that I thought I would share. I posted an earlier chart highlighting the biotech on this thread, but I am going to start a new thread so please go there for...

I trade several accounts and this is one of my new ones opened in the school. These commissions were set up wrong in new the accounts dept. They are going to fix them next week and I get charged on a cents/share deal and yes it is a fair schedule. You'll see next week the corrected schedule...

No Sweat (I'm still up...you guys turned on my engines) I'll tell you something funny. I tried to cancel the order faster while selling the 3000 lot since I could tell how the order was going out (TOO FAST). But when I tried to cancel, I fat fingered the key and had to re-enter it. By then...

Mark, Thanks. This thing is nuts. Just trying to trade some stocks and have fun. I just played w/ it and it looks like you right mouse click in the OES and choose "set-up" and then click the detail box. Is that correct? Hey man...you win the late night marathon...I'm going to bed...

OK. Here it is. Dottom...you look at this close! Also, I did use the "change order" during the day as it will show. I can't tell you why the software uses EST vs MTN during the session, I'm a trader not a programmer, but take the info. from the TNT web site as the final upload since this is...

Mark...thanks for the comment. I'm simply going to put this to bed Monday and post the final clearing blotter from Instinet once the trades settle. I can't believe I spent this much time on this. I'm trying to contribute to this web site w/ educational information and by teaching by DOING...

Final point, Remember, the RealTick time stamps based on the PC time, and this has nothing to do with the actual time Nasdaq see's the trade. If the PC clock is off, or on a different time zone, the RealTick order book will reflect it. What really matters is what is printed to the tape, so...

macal425, I live and trade in Denver where it is MTN time. That means I traded AMGN at exactly the time indicated. There is obviously a two hour difference. Also, the order book reflects the time on your PC, and this needs reset over days which I don't bother with. I pay attention to the...

Here is the BTK play on AMGN. I will send several other charts confirming the my bias.

. Today I covered my AMAT PUTS. I opened 10 contracts during my live event at OTE at 2.20 and sold them for 3.30 today. I also sold my other 50 contracts for a strong swing trade. Intraday, I traded AMGN for a bounce and bought 50 March 55 CALLS. I'll post each days results as this trade...

Don, I trade on the Web-X software. It works really well. The video screen is seen by all participants and the audio is done through a conference feature w/i Web-X. I can't say it is cheap, but it is stable. If you would like to sit in on a live trading session next week we will sigh you...

iiphos, The market has become more efficient due to decimalization, therefore a freefall of support is less likely because of it. With the fraction system and the fact that spreads were often $1/2 to a $1 wide, the short sales rule had value for the reasons I noted in my prior posts. The...

Don, I appreciate your view. I am new to this entire forum environment and I have never done it before, and I must admit it is disappointing to have to deal with this sort of malicious negativity that builds nothing. So I would like to send a message to the contributors who are not only...

iiphos... I can certainly appreciate your perspective and I agree the rule is now outdated. My comments are directed to the benefit the rule had regarding the overall market, not the pros/cons to the individual trader. In terms of the market overall, I do believe it has helped the markets...
