    Best Place to trade in the world - Quality of Life

    me, I don't like seeing poor people... so I stay in an exclusive Hawaii neighborhood here on Oahu... it's motivating to have movie stars as neighbors, and wealthy business owners... so it's great to live in paradise. I'd have a hard time living on an island that has a lot of poor people on...

    List of Trading Rules!

    don't trade after 10:45 am or so unless there's a significant increase in volume in the stock I'm trading, and/or it's in the process of taking out a 2-day high/low with the COMPQ doing the same (which is rare)... and of course, no continuation trend trades if it's near the edge of it's...

    Trading while trying to lose weight on Atkins

    one thing that always helped me, though I have yet to Do it, is Tony Robbins' phrase: "eat water-rich foods" ... meaning whenever I think of what I'm eating, it should mostly have water in it, meaning fruits and veggies, vs all the processed high-salt high-fat stuff you find in the middle...

    Comparison of ES, NQ, YM & ER2

    how about timing issues for e-minis? in seeing the charts, it seems that, like tier1 lead stocks or ETFs, one would need to either do quick scalps on large size, eg sub 15 minutes on 10+ contracts, or, longer term intraday trend trades, fewer contracts, for multi-hour holds, during morning or...

    Break Even Trades

    50% retraces seem to be the most common... in a similar thought, there's 4 types of trades (think of a 2x2 grid): 1. small wins 2. big wins 3: small stops 4. big stops the trick is, just get #1, 2,3 and no #4s or, think of small wins/stops as near-breakevens.. that leaves us...

    Trading the opening

    personally I like to give the market 5-10 minutes to clear overnight orders prior to looking for trades.. my favorite timeframe to trade is thus 9:40 til 10:30 .. I'll look at entries for later in the day only if the nas composite is making a new 2-day high or low, which is infrequent...

    RIAA suing file swappers

    you are exactly right. there's no way to prove single-user to single-machine usage beyond a reasonable doubt, especially w/wireless routers ... no traceability of single person to single files... good point it would be nice if the RIAA would do more with the $1/song model and like I...

    RIAA suing file swappers

    the point is, maybe the girl didn't realize that it was wrong to download mp3s, at 12 years old, maybe her mom didn't teach her or whatever... and to take $2000 from a poor family for a 12 year old girl's mistake is overkill. if she had shoplifted a cd from a local store at 12 years old...

    RIAA suing file swappers

    http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,96890,00.html ridiculous. taking $2000 from a 12-yr old honors girl who's so poor she lives in the projects. I'm personally not going to buy another music cdrom for another 5 years. hey come to think of it, it's been about 5 years since I bought...

    What attracted you to trading?

    exactly ... my daughter's almost 4, and I'm eternally grateful that I've been able to be with her and her mom 24/7 since birth instead of some office job... I haven't worn a tie in 8 years - and I don't even miss it at all, the staff meetings, the corporate politics, putting up with all the...

    Anyone else find video games help reflexes?

    I've long been an avid pc and console gamer, and I find that having the fast reflexes you need in gaming, helps translate to speed in spotting visual cues in charts, time and sales etc for intraday trading.. any other gamers out there? I've bought and played virtually every decent pc and...
