man, are there 2 of you. one that buys and the other that sells? I am confused!!!:confused: :confused:

i may have found who was on the other side of my trades... the only thing i am buying right now is a soda! cant remember the last time i saw the dow down 160+.

great questions. in my few years (7) in the market in one capacity or another, i have never heard the term "newbie panic" until this week. maybe little gaps up or down could be small corrections that are not sustainable. i dont think newcomers to the market have much effect on it generally...

didnt i see on an earlier post that you are a cattle trader? or was that somone else? i have a friend that used to run commodities for merril in the 90s and is now a big cattle guy. curious if you know him.

i made sure to be a little more balanced today. thanks for asking. i am using a very basic screen lately. It is buying with increasing volume, near 52 week high, with increased earnings, and the correct trend. yesterday afternoon i entered 3 shorts with the opposite screen. 52 week low...

thanks. this is the only chat room i participate in so i didnt even thing about those features. ill let you know

1. I never said anything about how much i make..the opposite. i mentioned i have a small account and the salries where i live are much smaller than the states. on top of that, the thread was started saying that i made a mistake and LOST money. not bragging about making it. go back and read...

the fact that you think that is a good post or in any way correlates to talking about a market correction drives my point home about what this site is becoming. sad.

the more i read and contribute to ET, the more garbage i see. childish insults, kids entertaining themselves, and not much along the lines of professional people looking to learn and contribute. foul lanuage, personal insults, talking about peoples mother and families...you name it. simply...

HYDROBLUNT, Skulltrader. Wow. i mean just wow. It looks like you guys posted around 2:00am and 3:00 am. seems to me you kids were sitting in your dorm room shooting up, snorting or smoking and/or drinking something about the time you responded. i even complimented hydroblunt on his...

he is right on. i agree. the guy is not a billionaire for nothing.

hey duck.. did you find that a simple or complex approach work best for you in your system. the more i trade...the simpler i try to make things. did you find the same to be true?

oh great ..THIS guy again. on on ET do you start talking about trading and economics, and wind up getting insulted by a beautician with an inferiority complex!

i get superstitous when i see red in the p&l !!!!

if it hasnt been mentioned already.. 1. humility 2. knowing what you dont know 3. caution i trust the others have been mentioned so i wont repeat them.

HYDROBLUNT- despite your apparent pastime as implied by your handle...i agree with you 100% you are dead right. i could not have said it better myself. if i had tried, i surely would have screwed it up. glad i sold all my realestate!!! "the home you live in is an EXPENSE"-robert koyasaki

not trying to start a flame war here mate, but you just showed your cards...a 3 of club and a5 five of spaids. a big reason why volume is as high as it is daily is because of the instituions.. market makers, sales traders and the like. many institutions are intraday when they have to cover...

man, i have had a little luck shorting some of the homebuilders...but they continue to amaze me. i think the expectant bust in houseing has already been factored into the price... wait for really bad earnings to short. so far we just have speculation we need a catalyst. good luck.

i wish i had a screen shot of market watch this morning at 7:00... yes it was panic. it read '"PERFECT STORM FOR STOCKS" then something like.... futures signifincantly lower as waves of panic cross japan, london, and the rest of europe. US market expected to open sinificantly lower..it...

i agree with you. i would love to be able to define the odds on that one... i think the scenario in question boils down to time period, and % stop loss. mainly. but that again would only calculate for the past. "greater than 50%" odds however works for me. i think going with the trend...
