hedgez- before I started trading full-time I "paper traded" and doubled my money in 4 months. When I left my job to trade full-time, I lost half of my real account in about 2 and a half months. That's when reality set in(this was Fall of 2000). After a lot of hard work and a bit of luck, I'm...

Surf- thanks for posting this in the morning....I probably would have closed the QQQ short at a loss.....but I stuck it out for a decent gain....I did cover near the close ..just didn't want anymore overnights.....but Thanks again.

only put in 7 stocks...zero fills.....had a 1% envelope Don, on avg , how many orders do you enter on the open? Do you have it automated? Some people have told me about a way to write macros to do a lot of orders. Thanks Uptik

I think its a good idea to try different things in trading, so this past week I set up my screens completely different...NO CHARTS...not a single chart...I had 2 quote windows...2 order entry windows.....and 5 time and sales windows and that was pretty much it. Like I do every night I wrote...

Cubano- I'll give you Mike Alstot for Priest Holmes

lol....thats a generous offer...but no thanks....I'm pretty happy with my line-up now.:cool:

No way. He was great last week...he's gonna put up nice points every week.

I'm not willing to give up ANtowain Smith at this point. But thanks for asking.:D

Thanks Madison. It's true, I really do love it. On weekends when so many of my friends are dreading the coming week, I really can't wait until Monday. Most people love national holidays, I hate them 'cause the markets closed.:mad:

you also don't see a lot of women playing video games...sitting at my desk I often am reminded of the old days playing Asteroids on the original Atari until my thumb bled... for most women, there's just not enough social interaction in these things.

Andy- Do a lot of reading. "MArket Wizards" Jack Schwager is one of my favorites. I re-read it as often as I can. Practice , practice, practice. Review your trades. Learn from people on the board here. There are plenty who are doing well ...a list of members that I learn from are(in no...

yeah, we've been talking about this pattern since Feb 02... http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3902&highlight=chart+challenge and last week when Bill Gross said he was bearish on equities (helps that he's a bond fund manager) his target levels for the S&P were way...

commiso- can't make the draft.but I pre-ranked players so it will do it for me..and if i don't get 'em it 'll auto-pick them. so , i'll just have to deal with what i get.

commiso- i thought you said draft was right after the close? 4:30 is late..can we make it 4:10....i gotta get to the pub as soon as possible.:cool: i tried to pre-rank my picks, but as usual, Yahoo servers down.

what would really get me is if it took Gordon Gekko 9mins 11secs or 9hours 11minutes to reply to this......and say something like, "There are no such things of ghost or gobblins. ANd those crop circles are not made by aliens"

Uh , Corey, yeah , thats why I said "except for the exit". Getting in the stock has no psychological element. You enter the orders...and getting filled is not up to you. You're just in. Of course thats when you're trading...and you should be on the side of the thief(specialist)....so be careful...

Lescor- did you load up the new version yet? I like it. do you have a snapshot of your screen that you can post? thanks

I'm not an annuity expert, and not saying its not a good investment, but when I was in the brokerage business getting someone in an annuity was a great deal. For the guy selling it.

Don- Thanks for posting that. It's exactly what I wanted. Now I can compare it with mine. I don't expect anyone to post there exact trades. That example should do just fine. Thanks again. Uptik2000

V- i didn't, and still can't see any thing for today Vhen.....I did go back and look...but I was hoping Don would share his stocks for today so that I can look at it....it helps if I can actually see it. but thanks for your input.
