I swing trade with options so I don't spend anywhere near the time making or managing my trades as what a day trader does. As a result I have kept my "day job" at one of the largest tech companies in the world. I put "day job" in quotes because I usually work from home, and 90% of what I do...

They tried that with alcohol. It was an abysmal failure that resulted in a horrific period of crime of our history. The only real solution to all of the worlds problems is to have fewer people. That sounds horrible I know but that is the reality. As the human population grows, we have to...

I agree 100%. For a long time now when people start arguing about the merits of the "right wing" Republicans versus the "left wing" Democrats, my usual response is: "Left wing or right wing....both wings of the same plane and it's flying us straight into the mountain." I phrased my initial...

I agree with GATT. Although the REDUCTION in US drilling thanks to last years BP fiasco has probably contributed as well. If Obama really wanted to lower the prices, he could have the CFTC raise the margin requirements, as bone mentioned, and allow more drilling for oil in the US. The...

I am beginning to think he just likes acting like the south end of a north bound mule.

That is about how I felt about the debate as well. Going into this I didn't know anything about Cain and I liked him the best. Johnson seemed creepy to me. If you watched the panel response afterwords he really won them over too.

Herman Cain wants to get rid of the IRS and just use a sales tax, thus removing all tax burden for companies which would help bring jobs back to the US and would get illegal aliens, drug dealers, and other cash only people to pay their portion of taxes. Ron Paul wants to help reduce the...

Very true. Men in general are more content and more friendly to one another than women. Think about this this. A man and a woman moves to a new city. On the first Saturday, the man heads to the park and sees 5 guys playing basketball. He walks up and asks if they need a 6th player. He now has...

I am not against gay marriage....equal misery for all.

QFT

Short Answer: Buy low, sell high. Long Answer: If there was such a thing as a simple trading strategy that REALLY worked, why would people spend years creating their own personal complex strategies? Why wouldn't everyone just use this simple money making machine? If there was such a machine...

Why do divorces cost so much? Because they are WORTH it! You have to renew your drivers license, fishing license and hunting license. Why is a marriage license the only license that you don't ever have to renew? No one would do it. Marriage isn't a word....it's a sentence. Women are...

It is indeed a sad commentary on the state of customer support and care in general when customers often find it easier and more time effective to seek help and advice for a product on public forums from people with no vested interest in the company or the product at all. Yet we (consumers in...

I doubt anyone is 100% pure either TA or FA. Here are the definitions of TA and FA: Technical Analysis - using any data created by the act of trading (such as price or volume history) regardless of how the data is manipulated (statistics, probabilities, indicators, supply/demand levels...

Think about this too, being successful at trading doesn't automatically make a person famous. The famous "traders" are the ones that are selling something else. I would wager that many of the most successful traders are never known by the general public.

Of course you use price to enter, but you have to use TA to determine what you want the price to be for entry.

I wanted to add the link to where I first explained this scenario: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=3016779#post3016779

Right it's not so much the number of followers of a system as it is the number of $$ those followers put into the market based on the system. For a case study of TA vs Fundamentals where TA won, take a look at Intel (INTC) for April 13, 2010. On April 13th 2010 Intel released a great...

I think you just proved MY point. The reason this astrology crap worked was because he had such a large following of people that his "predictions" artificially created supply or demand (depending on the direction he predicted). I could read chicken bones, tea leaves, or anything else and if...

You believe him?
