....keeping yourself busy doing other things SAVES you money. Its kinda like keeping on the lights in your 20 acre manufacturing building all night just because. i've lost most of my money when the market just isn't going anywhere.

holy moly! ok, i'm up at 6 (i live in SF), music on in the background, 1 laptop for chat, another for trading + extra monitor. stick to the same nasdaq stocks all day, pretty simple. mxim, lltc, qlgc, qcom, ebay, nvls, ..... watch the NDX, when it starts an uptrend, i'm long, downtrend, i'm...

are you advocating front-running here?

try www.bestdaytrader.com, shay is awesome.

i'm with ya baby! so i tried to fix this problem. i put a little more contraints on when i take the trade, tried to up my odds so i don't get chewed up by commissions.....i'm up today! only 3 trades ;)

...and sometimes it doesn't.... man i got killed today. only problem with a strategy that works off of trend reverals is that you get nailed on a day like this. oh well....just thought i'd share my temporary grief :(

thanks.....i'm looking for people's experiences here. have you tried peg-mkt? peg-best? if so, what are your feelings about it?

alright today sucks :) except this push up might be promising in the afternoon....we'll see :)

no word here.....maybe richard dennis went to file his 1040 and called his secretary....now the NDX is at 1040...hmmmm

Quick question for those of you using ISLD.... Do you use peg-mkt / peg-best, or limit orders? Just interested in seeing what the pros/cons of people's experiences were, and which orders are used for which situations. thank ya very much

vhehn, i know this more than anything. i spent more than 1/2 year looking around for a good strategy / mentor for a good strategy. when i narrowed them down, i spent a good deal of time looking at their logs for the previous 5 months (that actually took 2 weeks to go through!!), and backtested...

db....I am a newbie at this...just have been on a subscription chat room for 2 1/2 months now. I was just observing that good money is being made every day. If you want to know, I haven't made diddly because i've had about 2 months to observe the strategy and the last few weeks i've had...

are you serious? the guys i'm trading nasdaq with are bringing home serious profits every day. i guess if you look around the room and can't find the sucker.....well you know....

jack, very well put....i'm seeing that instead of watching 'if' the market breaks, i should be watching 'HOW' the market breaks. another problem i need to fix is that while watching lvl 2 for these cues, once i have determined that the breakout is occuring, i have to put my order in and...

Still had triggeritis, so I hit myself. But everyone on our board nailed it....great short ;) qlgc, klac, and ebay my heroes :)))))

So I guess I probably shouldn't have done the estimated taxes...already sent them in for the first quarter. Doh!! See, I had a full-time job in 2002, but now am embarking on trading -- I'm not a pessimist or anything, but I highly doubt making the same amount this year...most likely much less...

Maybe turbotax screwed me over, but I was under the impression that I had to pre-pay taxes for this year b/c I had underpaid taxes for 2002. This is what the turbotax online told me.

I underpaid my taxes last year and now I'm paying estimated taxes for this year. This sucks, obviously, but I starting thinking...if you are a trader and make money, do you get reamed for not pre-paying your taxes? How does this work? I just started trading this year and never thought about...

anybody else bored out of their mind today?
