    Looks like you're up on the day. Congrats. The problems with your trade are: Your stop is WAY too wide. You are in two days late, and with a range as tight as AOL, that might be expensive. You put all your ducats into one stock. If you get a market shock overnight, you are going to...

    How to treat the 'cannot pull the trigger' symtome

    IMO, it is very important to KNOW your system. For example, if I have a system that says I only need to be right 25% of the time, then I know that I can lose 3 out of 4 times and still break even, IF I ADHERE TO PREDEFINED STOPS AND PROFIT TARGETS. Are you confident in the performance of...

    Yeah, okay, whatever. You and that other clueless guy spend a lot of time talking about multiple personalities and english, but have little to say about trading. Dude, you need to grow up.

    LOL.... I spent enough time on this site now, and correspondended with enought posters to know that there are some traders here who actually make lots of money. Then, there are those "traders" who can't make any money, no matter what they try, and they haunt the site with bitterness and...

    HEY!!!:D I never said that Murrey was sane, I only assert that the lines DO work. I threw his stuff into the corner too, until I went back and read HOW TO MAKE PROFITS TRADING IN COMMODITIES. Then I went back and dug it out, put my info filters on, and figured out what he was trying to...

    How many daytraders are still out there?

    Well, I would agree that if it is was a race to a million dollars, then I would be thinking only about the bottom line. Daytraders do not face the monster gap that swing traders might. I was long and large on CNXT on 9/11. I was long and large the the day EIX declared bankruptcy, and I...

    How many daytraders are still out there?

    That's what I wanted to say, but I didn't want to sound rude. I would never disrespect a persons choices, but while I was daytrading, the stress was much higher, and I was still locked into a 9 to 5, even though I was at home. When I became a competent swing trader, I went back to daytrade...

    How many daytraders are still out there?

    I agree totally with you that once you find a system that truly works for you, any time frame will do. I can daytrade as effectively now as I swing trade, but for me it was about the freedom that swing trading provides. If you spend 100K on commission, I assume that you are much larger...

    How many daytraders are still out there?

    Hmmmm.... I never noticed. But I do now. In the business of setting up new lambs for the houses. W D Gann wrote a book called "Truth of the Stock Tape" If anyone is still a daytrader after that book, I feel sorry for them. What is Level2 other than a modern day ticker tape? I...

    How many daytraders are still out there?

    I broke into this game in early 1999. My first stock trade was RMBS at 140 thru Suretrade. I daytraded then and I couldn't even read a chart. I used RadarScreen, put up the Nasdaq 100, and the stock that moved to the top in pertentage gain was the stock I traded. One fateful day I got into...

    LOL.... Since I don't do that, there are either a lot of people reading it once, or a few reading it often. Either way, the message is getting out that trading doens't have to be that hard.

    You are perfectly entitled to lose interest, because it is "your" interest, however, to suggest others to do the same seems like your desire to censor what some may consider good info. So I will continue to post, and people will continue to read. We are just short of 3000 right now.

    IBM has broken down to it's 4/8 line, stopping within 5 points of 81.25. The option that was purchased is now worth 9.20. Looking to take profit on the first qualified reversal.

    At this point surfer, you are going catch W. Buffet well before I do. I have to admit, you haven't missed yet. This system is about risk management. Whatever it is that you do seems to nail price level pretty darn well. I can see in your bio why you have been tempted to go whole hog in the...
