    Intermittent Drops and Dual Wan

    I've had this problem, it comes from router having crappy NAT abilities. (I have a belkin, back home I had a linksys) You can either shell out money to get a linksys router or you can enable DMZ on your trading computer. Go into your router controls and look at the DHCP client list for the ip...

    Top Traders Choose Walmart Wmt

    Port, any breakout on the chart you supplied is probably good for a few bucks, but if you are looking for the next ISRG you are better off waiting till WMT goes over 60.66, which is its all time high. There is a concept of overhead supply, and getting in at this point if you are looking for a...

    Top Traders Choose Walmart Wmt

    What 10+ year timeframe breakout are you talking about, I don't see WMT having made an all-time high. Hell it's still under 60. It's a very likely possibility, but don't jump the gun here fellas.

    Who are the biggest crooks of wall street?

    Goldman.. don't forget they were long all that credit garbage in their alpha fund but simultaneously short in their prop positions meaning essentially money was flowing from their investor's pockets into their own.

    Learning to Tape Read 101

    A lot of it is sitting in front of the tape and watching the prints, so yes it takes time. If you want a tip, I first started by only looking at price and volume (this is old school lol) and getting the hang of that before adding bid and ask prices into the mix. It's difficult when you are...

    Question for people who have actually traded at prop firms

    scalping cannot be scaled past a certain point, and being able to look at larger time frames involves more than just holding for longer times. you need to look at more variables and take more things into consideration as your time frame increases. scalping is quicker to learn because it is...

    Shorting Ford and First Solar F and FSLR

    Eh I am probably wrong on these calls, so please don't take trades based on what I say as I am frequently wrong. My logic is based on two things: FSLR is the solar leader. The retracements in STP and SPWR were no where near as strong as the one in FSLR, falling short quite a way from...

    Shorting Ford and First Solar F and FSLR

    After looking it, I am almost positive of some very crafty selling in FSLR. I would go ahead and either put on a short on FSLR at these levels with a very tight stop, or wait quite a bit later when FSLR is down 10, 20 points from these levels for a sure thing. An even surer play is to short...

    Shorting Ford and First Solar F and FSLR

    I covered my position in FSLR and took some heat from the gap up but I am up over 30 points on my short ISRG position. As a rule I am out on FSLR. I would like to see the volume and where we close the day, so I will be keeping an eye on the tape. It's very likely I will put out my short at a...

    Thoughts on RHD?

    Assuming shares are available, I would put on a small short position.

    Shorting Ford and First Solar F and FSLR

    Also, I forgot to add that I read the tape and FSLR was showing a little short term strength but I'm bearish on the whole market so I don't expect FSLR's strength to completely hold.

    Shorting Ford and First Solar F and FSLR

    I am short FSLR and ISRG since last week, I am up over 20 points on the ISRG short and only a few points up on FSLR, the thing is refusing to budge but I suspect it will crack with the next down wave. I wish I had more capital to short it.

    How much to pay for a mentor?

    Probably around 30k/year at least when you think about how much the tuition at private institutions costs. Someone who is employed would basically have to fork up everything but what they need to live on. Steep price but mentoring is not cheap. At the mentor though you probably want to not...

    Bulls: She Is Rolling Down Since Yesterday: Why Are You Still In?

    As of yesterday around 11am I am short FSLR and ISRG. I see stocks like BIDU and GOOG following suit, but there is a limit to my capital. The market was due for a wide rally, and while we did get a small one the indices failed to move higher. It is my opinion that this does not bode well for the...

    Where is the recession? Show me ?

    In terms of economic information, I don't know enough information. But the market knows more than enough information, so I take heed from what the equities market is telling me. Recession and Expansion alternate in cycles, and we've been in an economic expansion for over the last five...

    Where is the recession? Show me ?

    The market itself is an indicator of future recession as it represents the collective consciousness of all the market participants. The pricing in the market is based on the future, not now. Bear markets always pre-date an economic slowdown for this reason. We basically entered a bear market at...

    Free Mentoring

    This seems like such a golden opportunity, but unfortunately I graduate next year and would not have been eligible anyways. I wish I could hit you up on this offer in the future, a raincheck perhaps?

    Where is the bear market?

    the start of a bear market is always a precursor to an economic slowdsown. the market will start to correct before there is major evidence of a recession, simply because the market is reflection of the future - not today. it is the combined beliefs of everyone in the market.
