    TonySanDiego TRIES to trade

    Couple of the trades you took on SPY reminded me of the trades you posted in HD -- you are initiating trades after extended moves have already occured (chasing, in effect). What exactly are you using to signal your entries? Seems like if you caught a couple bottoms there, only instead of...

    SEBL NSIT PNC ITRI notes - thoughts?

    You'd be looking for days where stock has narrowest range of the past 4 days (NR4), as well being an inside day (high and low of day is within range of yesterday's high and low). What you're looking for is a recent drop in volatility, betting on volatility returns, in order to play the breakout...

    Macro-funds

    Last of what I read about Soros and other global hedge funds types was that macro-directional speculation had become too risky an endeavor. Was wondering how active those kinds of funds are in the markets these days, especially in light of the dollar.

    SEBL NSIT PNC ITRI notes - thoughts?

    Instead of looking at wide-ranging days, you might do better looking for the opposite setup -- contraction/inside days for buying/selling breakouts. What you'd be looking to do is playing the trend day which normally follows a period of low volatility. This would also better suit your...

    SEBL NSIT PNC ITRI notes - thoughts?

    Playing wide range breakouts for 2-15 min trades seems a bit risky on the risk/reward ratio; most likely you'll get some follow through for a break of prior day's high/low but you'll also run into alot of noise. .20-.40 feels pretty tight given that you are going to be buying hod/selling lod...

    Here's the chart. Right-shoulder anticipation entry, along the same lines as HGSI. (No trade taken, I think there's only about $800 left in my futures account. What's daytrading margin for NQ these days? :p ) ps -- I really don't draw all these lines or pay much attention to targets...

    Still short 2 units of HGSI. Yesterday's entry turned out to be a bit of a miff, but I don't mind scaling a bit early into a swing trade.

    Agreed, the prospect for profit is the only justification for subjecting one to such tortures :)

    Catching the right train

    Just a matter of what kind of trading you want to do. I take the exact opposite view: trying to play off the floor specialist (especially on the NYSE), reading every single tick and fighting over .10 here and .20 there -- that's damn difficult to me. Another way to do it is to...
