that tag would go in the web page itself, so i don't think it's the answer you're looking for.

as far as becoming good at trading, i would say that it is a definite plus that you are good in the areas of physics, math, computers, and programming. when i think of myself, as a kid i loved video games. then i got interested in computers when i was 13. now i'm a total computer and internet...

lol nice quote...i just noticed it.

thanks for the great tips! you may want to ask yourself if you think i care. lol i'm not here to win awards for seriousness or to impress anyone. if you want to think i'm foolish because of my member name, go right ahead..i certainly won't be crying. p.s. your subject title was right on the...

new england area, usa.. although i don't know if i'll be staying here forever.

it has been only recently that i've kept very detailed trading records and statistics. i'm not quite ready to trade other people's money. maybe in a few months/years i will pursue that. i only posted about this to get a general idea of what the possibilities are for my situation.

what is OPM? out of pocket money? i'm guessing..

lol :)

although i do not know for sure, i think it does happen. it could just be coincidence, but yesterday... first i have to say that i normally don't trade stocks with such low volume, but i think the stock i shorted yesterday only traded like 30,000 shares. anyway, i shorted the stock and a...

just for the sake of an example..picture this: say today a stock's high is 50 and the low is 45. if 100 people shorted it today at 47 and all 100 put a stop to cover at 50.01 and there were 0 orders at 44.99, do you think market makers would try to move the price up to take out those stops? i...

i have another question about this.... there's a common belief that market makers like to shake people out of their trades by hitting common stop areas. for anyone who knows, is this true?

say you shorted a stock today at 20 and the day's high is 20.99. if you were to put a stop market buy order to cover at 21, do market makers/specialists know if that order is to exit a long or short position? for example, if i had instead gone long at 20 and put a sell limit at 21, would they be...

seanote rules

yes, i do swing trade. my timeframe is usually from a few days to a few weeks or even months. the only time i make a round trip intraday is if i get stopped out. as for a trading journal, some people may enjoy doing that, but i'm not interested. the only reason i mentioned some trading...

i would also like to point this out: in the journals forum, many people are drooling over seanote's trades (myself included). if you look at a previous post of his, he mentioned that he was once down to $5,000. he put his head on straight, focused, and learned how to trade. he then said that...

i'm in my early 20s. i started with less than $5,000, of which $2,000 was from a credit card. i eventually made enough to pay back the credit card debt, as well as over $30,000 in taxes. i also bought a brand new car with cash and i live off my trading account as my primary income. if you were...

it's kind of annoying to see all these responses treating me like i started trading yesterday. although you may not know much about me, don't just assume i know nothing. i'd be willing to bet i've been through far more than most people on this board. for those who have struggled like i have and...

i would just like to point out that 50,000*6.50=$325,000.00 lol

lol

you don't know anything about me and i don't care to prove anything to you. because of that, this is all you're getting for a response. maybe someone else will benefit from your post.
