    Calculating Risk

    LOL...that's the whole point behind trading. There is always a risk you are wrong no matter what the trade. There is no such thing as "no risk".

    Calculating Risk

    Nothing much you can do about that other than try to set your stops a small margin (you have to decide this amount) beyond a point at which you would consider your trade to be wrong. Remember trading is all about preserving capital and staying with winners. That's the reason you need to have...

    Successful Trading and Compounding

    WOW,...I must comment here. I will give you a set of rules you MUST follow. These are rules that you are OBVIOUSLY NOT following. You will blow up your acct again probably before the end of the year if not before Halloween if you do not follow these rules. 1) Never risk more than 0.5% of...

    Magic beans math problem (stock portforlio)

    If the whole point is to maximaize return by picking the best 10 stocks in 2 sectors then you have to do some technical and fundamental analysis to pick the best performing ones based on that data/info. You reevaluate every week or so to see which ones are performing best. As it becomes...

    Calculating Risk

    NO,.. Risk per share = Entry price - Stop Loss price Risk per trade = % of capital you want to risk. Lets say 1% of capital for example. Assuming a $100,000 acct that would mean $1000 per trade. Now take the risk you wish to have per trade ($1000 in this example) and divide by the...

    Measuring Trend

    Kut2k2, Just because YOU can not read the indicators does not mean they are any less useful. Does a pilot use more than one indicator to tell him how best to fly the plane. Sure you can fly without indicators but they sure help in a stormy night. You keep believing what you want. In the...

    Measuring Trend

    I know it was momentum indicator but which one (you never said)? You also do not describe its use. Anyone can post charts but they mean nothing without interpretation. So at least we have established a BUY signal at 3-21-11. Here is how I would have viewed that trade... See the chart...

    Measuring Trend

    Are you trying to show a long trade here on 3-21-11? I assume your magical supercomputer methods would show something. Maybe you should show how this is superior to standard 1970's methods... tell us about this trade rather than posting a useless unlabled graph except for pips (left margin)...

    Measuring Trend

    JUST as I expected,...a BS pompous ass response. You are clearly only interested in making yourself feel good about yourself. Anxiously awaiting referred to waiting for some realtime explaination of your special numbers helping you profit. But sadly, even with all your computations you...

    Measuring Trend

    Seriously you just sound like a pompous ass when you say stuff like this. I have read the entire thread and all you talk about is making "measurements" as if that is the end all of describing a trend and its worthiness in trading it. Go take your pocket calc. and make your fancy calculations...

    Measuring Trend

    Here is a SIMPLE way,...look at the slope of the trend. The higher the slope the stronger the trend.

    Measuring Trend

    Also,...if you think using certain TA tools like MACD & RSI are so much like "fingerpainting the Mona Lisa" then why are you posting in a TA section? Obviously you find value in TA to some extent,...just maybe not those indicators. I usually find there are many ways to achieve the same thing...
