    De-Mystifying Trading

    Something just occurred to me.. Do you think you would ever be able to forget how to speak english? (directed to nobody in particular) Really think about that for a minute. OK, so what makes you think you can change the other conscious and unconscious patterns/behaviors/tendencies that were...

    '' The Luck Factor ''

    from the article: "This simple survey showed that most people were indicating an amazing level of consistency in their experience of good and bad luck." Give me a break! They asked the people to rate their OWN level of luck?!?!?! People with a negative disposition (pessimists) will...

    Damned if we do, and damned if we don't !

    Doesn't the US, being the largest consumer of oil, have a lot of leverage in this? I mean, can't we force them to accept dollars? If your biggest customer wants to pay with a credit card, are you going to force them to use a check?

    Expedia- holy s**t!

    As per Yahoo: Total shares 115.8 mln Float 36 mln Shares short 44.2 mln Percent of float 122.8% Daily Volume 5.47 mln Does this mean the insiders are short?!?! Maybe they didnt account for the split yet? It happened several weeks ago though.

    Advice from the experienced

    things to consider: 1. a good system can't always be backtested accurately. e.g. you don't know if you got a fill, unless you assume slippage every time (not always the case). 2. tradestation et al are not flexible enough. think outside the box. 3. use several systems at once, and...

    Trades for Tuesday

    Give credit where credit is due.. just look at a 5-min chart and 1:50 definitely looks like a maxima. i.e. short at 1:50 with 1.5 pt stop and you would have made money. Also, I wouldn't knock a system for not predicting a direction, especially if it's just supposed to be some kind of...

    Please help on ES questions

    More like 25 points intraday.. it has been quiet lately. Yes you could "potentially do OK." Paper trade the ES in real time for a week and you'll see there is lots of noise which will grind you down quickly. The movie "Fargo" comes to mind. 100% is all you "stand to lose," yes. IMHO...

    Newbie Trading Log

    Since you can get $1 per 100 shares at other brokers, you can easily trade 100 share lots without the commission eating you up. The less you have, the more risk you can take. The more you have, the less you should risk. If you have $1 million then don't put it all in one position. With...

    Kogi 17" LCD on sale... $279

    a few notes on the kogi 17 inch LCD: i picked up one today after seeing the posts here. compUSA has a 14-day return policy, with a 15% restocking fee for items with an open box. apparently that is not just for this item, it is for ALL their items. pretty crappy is you ask me.. i ran...
