If you are new, I wonder why you are trying to trade news stocks and also stocks that are dominated with pros on a daily basis? It would do you very good, if you are indeed a new trader, to learn on thinner, less volitile stocks in order to get a better understand of whats going on. AMZN and BA...

Chewy, are you new to trading? I mean < a years experience?

Try the thread "Reading the Specialist" by Deeman. Do a search on this site and you'll find it. Its a good read.

The practice exams for the Series 7 are imho 5X harder than the actual exam.

Ok, I see where you are coming from. I just hope for your sake that once you do graduate from the student area, you wont impose these same sort of boundaries on yourself. Once you develop certain habits in your trading, they may be tough to break. Good luck with it all!

I can't imagine trying to trade with your mentality of "having" to make a certain amount every single day to hit a certain level for the month. Trade trades for what they are and what the potential is and throw away the day to day micro-managing This is not the way to think, it seems that it...

Well, while you are definitely correct that the specialist more or less knows the direction of the stock based on his order flow, his bids/offers might not be too helpful unless you can discriminate between when his bids/offers are real or when they arent. I trade NYSE strictly and have been...

Great point! Jay Gould would certainly agree.

I basically look to see how certain orders are filled (I am speaking only of NYSE here). Why would the specialist fill this 8k order at X price as opposed to Y price which was the limit price ect. Could it be thats there is a seller in here? How fast are the offers being scooped up or bids...

If you want to put yourself in the position to make bigger gains, you are going to have to put money on the line in equities that are more active than conservative blue chips. Im not saying to play 5k shares of GOOG all day long, but I know plenty of traders that I work with that make great...

How long have you been trading?

Your question doesnt really make sense so I dont think anyone will be able to give you a good answer.

What is the point of this response?

I'm sorry if I offended you but I really thought this you were kidding with your question. I have answered questions before concerning similar things, only to find out that the person was messing around. Anyways, I hope you find the answer you're looking for.

I work at a prop firm in jersey city nj, i have 300k buying power. I go home flat everyday. I dont swing trade yet. I only make intraday profits trading NYSE. I am looking for a way to break though my mental barriers because I feel that I dont take enough advantage of what I feel I see in the...

Thanks everyone, I appreciate your advice and comments. Part of me is happy to be consistent and profitable, and the other part of me knows that there is a lot more to make out there and, with my abilities and experience, I feel I should be able to get to the next level and beyond. I think we...

you are joking right?

are you new to trading?

I will most definitely read up on this method and see if this is something that makes sense for me. Its nice to hear of others, such as your friend, who has had success getting though their problems. I will "google" it tonight!

Well, to a certain extent it helps because I have traders I can talk to about issues and whatnot, but in reality, when i am trading, i am trading alone and therefore I am the only one who can take my game to another level. I guess its nice to have guys to chat with but I am realizing more and...
