def, those are excellent points I just wanted to stress that volatility plays a *huge* role in options. Anyone who is considering entering the options game should totally familiarize themselves with the greeks. I would say that a short put or a covered call strategy (same thing) is only a...

Just curious if anyone here is a member of trendfund or was ever. I've heard some good things about the site but a few things leave a bad impression, like Waxie's insisting that he 'rules the freakin' markets' !! I would appreciate it if anyone with info would share it with us.

Sterling am a bit confused why you measure authors by whether they are traders or not. I have a good friend that makes flight sims but he's never actually flown a Boeing 747. Does that make his work worthless? the true test of any trading book author is what they write. If their...

thank you gentlemen, much appreciated

ken wolff who has a website called mtrader.com. He is a good tape reader and has written many articles for thestreet.com/realmoney.com where he discusses his strategies. You can find a nice summary of past articles here: http://www.daytradingstocks.com/lessonsandeducation.html disclosure...

c'mon guys! it is so obvious that the same person wrote those reviews! I can't believe anyone needs convincing after you go to the page and read them About removing/keeping them: does it matter? I mean if someone is so dumb as to believe these contiguous reviews to be authentic ones then...

sounds like you need to back off a bit and get more knowledge. The book review of this site has a neat selection The only thing that I can add to the above suggestions is MONEY MANAGEMENT !!!!! set a risk tolerance that is right for you, try to not go above 2% per trade, and remember...

horizontal? did you miss the open?

not a blanket defence of Nasdaq halting policies.....but Thursdays' halt of softie was because the ruling that was release was 100 pages long. I know the media loves sound bites like 'no breakup' but this ruling was a bit more complicated than that. According to Nasdaq, they are trying to...

forgive my ignorance of trading on the bid board, but what is a bullet? as in "putting up bullets"? thanks :)

in the F4 menu change the settings to whatever you want then go to 'window' from pull down menu and choose 'save defaults'

go to the matrox site and then enter the messageboard. It is monitored by Matrox techies and you will have an answer before you know it. (you'll have to register for the messageboard to get a password)

if you are interested in this sort of thing read the book called "The Predictors" it is a real life account of some *very* smart people that started a project to do exactly this. Eventually they sold the company to UBS AG. The Swiss bank has been extremely tight lipped about the whole thing...

I just signed on to RT 7.2 and have had no problems at all to speak of. Have you contacted TAL? 1-800-997-9630 (hit 5 for support)

what's an antistatic strap?
