how much more of traderx are we going to tolerate? I've seen great boards ruined by such posters

Just heard from RealTick that they will be implementing the real-time filtering capabilities of hottrend.com into their services in September. They most probably will be making it available to everyone as a trial offer. Then perhaps charging no fee if you have the RT ProPlus, and if you don't...

what turned me off shortboy.com is how he insists on adding the interest his cash earns and including it in his trading p/l: In 1999 his interest income: 30205 his total income 114105 So 26% of his profit was not from trading In 2000 his interest income: 36136.5 his total income 29479...

Rock, You have a 25c goal with a 75c stop loss. This automatically means that for you to have a positive expectancy, 75% of your trades need to be profitable. Anything less than that and you lose money. Taking into account that some of the best traders in the world do not even get close to...

As you know, psychology is a large part of trading so I wanted to start a thread regarding NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) and how it can help us. If you are not familiar with NLP, it is a branch of psychology developed by Richard Bandler in the 80s. Basically it seeks to 'program' the...

This advice may seem a bit basic but it does work: 1]blink! do not allow your eye to dry 2]look away (even if it is to glance at Kernan's mug)

I personally don't use it but from what I understand from the 'system' that O'Neil has created it is only a small part of the whole. Meaning that you should not isolate it and make decisions based solely on it.

Just curious if anyone is using one massive plasma screen instead of multiple monitors. To me this seems to be a common sense thing, yet I haven't heard of anyone doing this. I'm told the resolution is very good and the price is quite competitive to multiple flat screens. Any thoughts? am I...

I don't know about your bottom buns but mine are all flat! ;)

IB is a bit conservative (and a bit quirky-look at IB's chairman's view on trailing stops). Give them time and if everthing works out, we will see them take steps to remain competitive. The only thing that bothers me is that they are not totally reliant on the retail side (they have a huge...

P2, you are absolutely correct, if your goal is to become wealthy (through your trading abilities) then the way to go is to trade with other people's money and take a cut of the returns. Unfortunately, the money comes with some strings attached (as it should!). Most traders who make the...

George Soros of Soros Fund Mgmt. Almost all large established funds farm out a portion of their assets to outside managers. I believe he was alluding to this. You can also contact Citco. They are the backbone of quite a few large well known funds (both offshore and on shore), including Soros'...

True, right now futures are not under the SEC. However, with the introduction of single stock futures (working their way right now through the necessary channels) the lines will be blurred and potentially the SEC could argue or muscle its way into regulating the futures market. Just my...

Bank of America (Prime Brokerage division) puts on short but very comprehensive seminars on how to start a hedge funds. Watch for their ads in Barron's. Or contact them at: info@primebrokerevent.com

Thanks for straightening that out Chris. And thank you for the compliment. Actually, I will take advantage of your presence here to tell you that I really look forward to your appearances on the Trading Track at realmoney.com You are the only person who actually goes into detail in...

def, can you please tell us why IOC orders are not used at IB? thanks

Maybe, for some reason they are not informing us, they can not use IOC orders. I mean they JUST got stops to work! Can we get def to take a look at this and get back to us? Perhaps he can shed some light on this. Because unless I'm missing something the IOC route would pretty much solve the...

I spoke with an IB rep on the phone on Friday and was told that BEST_ECN did include ARCA and REDI [sheesh]

A few days ago rtharp started a thread named "TradeRX.....and NVDA" which was to be dedicated to TradeRX's method for capturing the slinky, slimy and sometimes very slippery twists and turns of NVDA. From what I recall TradeRX's response was: "rtharp...[expletive deleted]" Which would...

Apparently, RealTick will be finally integrating its recent purchase of Hottrend.com into its data feed. Hottrend is a filter for unusual activity in trading (real time).
