    when do they remove the limit up on ZW? I thought 3% was the limit up premarket. Soy is flying at 3.67% and it's still trading.

    Stop Losses are for Losers

    This is why, marketsurfer, the way you trade and the amount of heat you take on everytrade is ridiculous. You cannot accept the fact you CAN be wrong at times. Of course if you paper trade, you can keep averaging in until you end up with a winner. So what if you got stopped out and it...

    Don't fall into the fallacy of hard work: you actually make money for waiting.

    On the contrary, everyday there are good trading opportunities. You just need to find it so I will have to agree with the poster above me, you're just a lousy trader.

    Exxon shatters profit records

    Hey, I'm sure everyone would rather gasoline be handed it out to them for free BUT that is capitalism. You think you pay too much for gas? short the hell out of it in the open market :cool: Unfortunately, that is what free trade is. Someone's willing to pay more for it. You don't wanna pay...

    Sold at 4.75 and at 5.50... sorry, dont use Fibs. Will probably bail on the short if it reaches 1405ish. the calls, i'll hold, it's only for 2 contracts. I was a buyer from 1350 and sold at to 1370 but got out of my longs, so now I'm short out of spite. :D

    ETFC into earnings???

    Plus most of these are one time incidence or just bad judgement. The retail part of the operation did fairly well. So once they put this thing behind them, this thing should slowly climb up.

    what was your biggest losing day?

    2002 RIMM for $12000 shorting it, not exactly the smartest move. Then in 2006, i think roughly the same amount (11k+) buying gold when it hit the top. I was losing about 1.5k then kept buying and buying... lessons learned.

    I hate it when i dont make money on days like this...

    I hear ya. When the year started, I made the decision that I'd rather have consistent and fairly predictable profits than what I had last year which usually swings deep from + to - . I haven't had $2000 days but I haven't had big losses either. So stress level has been kept to a minimum despite...
