    Trade Management, Stop Management, Exit Strategy

    I agree with Gordon. A whole lot is written about finding great setups, yet the ongoing question remains the same...when to take profits. It seems the frustration comes from the fact that most of the entry setups get you in relatively near the present bottom (or top if you're short); but...

    The worst part about trading...

    The "textbook" trades all happen when you're away from the market, whatever the cause. Look at nitro, poor guy goes to Subway for a little chow, and boom, there's a rally. :)

    Charting my trades

    jonesy, haven't seen you in the room lately. The market is giving away dollars, I'm glad you see the light with scalping. Not that it can't be lucrative, but it is a lot of work. And commish. Try a 40 sma on any time frame chart such that the usual length of one bar is within your risk...

    The worst part about trading...

    Up until a week ago I made my living position trading. Then a cool daytrading method was revealed to me, and I am presently working with that. It is fun to trade, and I like being flat at the end of the day. The downside is I don't get to spend as much time in the day with my children. So no...

    Yes inandlong folks. You know, in the market and long the market. In and long...get it? C'mon now, surely that wasn't that tough was it? Nice post Publias. Would your mother be happy with you? Do you think the Lord God is? Can you imagine how He must feel, watching you...His creation...

    which is best the direct access broker

    QLGC What an ugly chart! But a nice exercise. Here is my call. First and foremost, unless QLGC has accelerated earnings growth on the horizon, the P/E at 52 is way too high. So if the E is not going to reduce the ratio, then the P will have to. Cut the price of this stock in half to about...

    Class Action Lawsuit against NYSE Specialists

    I don't like the bogus opening posts. So many times the posted opening for a stock is not where the opening tick on the chart is. And I'm talking 30-40 cents off and more. Why does it matter? Because it changes the way the daily candle looks.

    What is NX?

    Sorry folks, but I have to ask this one. Like bullets, NX is a new term to me. Hey I just buy'em and sell 'em. Since they took the ticker tape machine from my office, I'm lost!:) :)

    The worst part about trading...

    What a great illustration! That is so funny. It sounds as if no one was hurt, praise the Lord. I, too have been very close to a lightning strike and frenzied motion is exactly what you do! :D :D :D

    New Elite Trader Wishlist

    One of the beauties of this site is its "intuitiveness", if you will. The yellow folder that tracks my activity. The grey arrowhead so I can get to the latest ground-breaking, earth-shattering post. How about when you make a change to your profile and add a quote, all previous posts are updated...

    The worst part about trading...

    Tampa is the lightning capitol of the world. And if you have never spent the season there it is truly awesome to see. From a distance of course. :)

    Is the bottom in?

    I guess you just have to look a little harder to find the "v"... or not. A Dow weekly chart should give you a clue. Oh look at that! Look at all those "v's". Is there another that appears to be forming? The real question is... are we going to push higher thru the downtrend line on the daily...

    The worst part about trading...

    The worst part of trading is when the markets are closed. I'm looking at Esignal Euro Region and IB so I can trade the LSE and DAX. Does it have good volume? Does it fluctuate? Let's trade.

    The Evolution of an E-mini Trader

    Huios that rhythm thing is important to me too. That's why I had to move from the home office to an office office. I love having the kids in there with me to smooch, but it blows my timing. I suppose the goal is to trade as mechanically as possible so 'my timing' becomes irrelevant. Such is...

    Hey folks, thanks for software reference. I'm using my mother's laptop and she visits a lot of Christian - oriented sites. And uses AOL. I guess no arena is safe. I first noticed pop-ups with CBSMarketwatch and more later with different trading sites. As a Christian man, and one who has...
