I see, well i'm glad i'm aware of this now, I can't believe it took me 2 years to figure this out. I used to always think daily charts never included dividends. And yes it makes sense from a long term perspective to include dividends in the chart. However, now i gotta take look at the chart...

thanks the responses. I looked at stockcharts and now they have adjusted their charts. it seems that there is a delay for that to occur. So this presents a pretty big issue because how can one judge real support and resistance levels when people are looking at false tops and bottoms? That is to...

I've noticed this strange anomaly a few times now and the most recent example is in SMH. if you look at any chart provider you'll see the recent consolidation lows at around 27.30ish. Only on Tuesday did it break 27 to open around 26. Finviz however shows a different story. They show the recent...

Common sense maybe but its a pussy mindset to have. Yeah go join the other sheep till you build a trading stake. Real pros have confidence in their abilities thus it only makes sense to borrow as much now in order to get ahead quickly. Also feng1234 its not 20% monthly credit card interest...

Laugh all you want but its that's the only way he can make any real money given his account size without getting hired or trading OPM.

How short are you to the 20k. if you need like 10 k more, it shouldn't be a problem borrowing that kind of cash at 10% to 15%. ever heard of low interest credit cards, overdrafting your chequing account, line of credit, small personal loans, the list of small loans goes on. if all you need is...

OK so what I understand of this so far is that 5-10 years ago oddlots got preference in execution, thus you could trade 99 share lots and get instant fills/ get filled before roundlots that were waiting with a limit order entered before you. Apparently this is not the case anymore as the...

Hey folks, I was told by a a guy who runs a prop firm I'm thinking about joining that trading odd lots almost exclusively is illegal with the SEC. I trade odd lots nearly every day on nasdaq/nyse stocks and never heard of such activity being illegal. By odd lots I mean less than 100 shares...

Honestly if this is a reoccurring problem for you you should trade through a piece of software like excel or some other system where the unemotional state of the computer can "assist" your trading. Basically the program would detect that you've had 3 losers in a row and therefore close itself or...

Yes MIT is what I use for targets, but keep in mind that turns into a market order, you can also do a limit sell if the stock isn't very liquid.

I was told that you do not pay dividend on inverse ETF, and in fact you recieve dividends on inverse ETF's. this is because inverse ETF's are not actually straight up shorting the indices but rather they used some kind of derivatives to simulate shorting. or so i've been told.

you can split your single vga output into 2 vga outputs vai something called dualhead2go. Prob the easiest way to get a triple monitor setup without too much of investment. before you take that make sure your graphics card can handle an additional big ass screen (dualhead2go tricks the...

what i'm pissed off about is why they decided to release this news completely out of the blue, this stuff should be saved till earnings releases when people can prepare for a sudden shift in prices via options or exiting positions, that way gamblers can takeover the positions. i never heard they...

I found an interesting documentary that talks about short selling shares of stock that amounts to many times the float of the stocks themselves, causing big problems for these companies. Apparently its a pretty big problem not many people know much about. They call them phantom shares...

$50 is the nominal price hit in 1980. Therefore in real inflation adjusted terms the $50 all time high is much much higher in todays terms. I believe gold's previous ATH hit $850ish back in 1980, which in inflation adjusted terms was somewhere around $2200 in today's money depending on where...

I fully agree that moving a stop to breakeven after you have some profit does not make sense since your initial stop loss is the place where you deem the trade to be invalid, and past the support zone, why not leave it there? whereas your original entry point is that place where you thought...

ESkiller, Don't you have any more tips and charts to post. I for one, liked the prior charts you posted and was looking forward to what was to come.
