this market is accelerating. it ain't a bull rally, it's a correction of the down trend. expect it to resume (the down trend). One reaction does not make a trend reversal. We had many of these reactions since january. none lasted a week (if memory serves). If it accelerates up more next...

with EU citizenship you can move and settle anywhere in Europe, that's the U(nion) part or EU you are right.

canadian dude, indeed it's easy to get citizenship if your father has it. However citizenship is not relevant. you need to be resident in the netherlands (same with belgium, but I don't think belgium has almost no tax gain, netherlands I know for sure since I used that). if you are resident...

OK trdrmac. I get more your idea now. hedging is good. I like it because it makes it possible to accept noise, fakes more easily. Also multiple systems smooth the equity curve and keep customers happy. Also, your point regarding high yield : home run. We actually had the very same...

I am surprised (but should not be) to see actual stock picks. It's hard to understand, once you are a trader, that you would pick stocks 'long term', and trying to call a bottom on top of that (since the thread is about stock pick, biased long). anyway, that's just my opinion. I know it is...

LOL ! why would you go long ? money burning your pocket ? I don't think you will get stock picks here.. at least I hope. this is elite trader, not elite investor.

just remember talk is cheap. calling bottoms is a fool's game. a trend is a trend until it reverses (and the down trend NEVER reversed since january-for the intermediate, and NEVER reversed since the start of the bear). NOTHING suggested last week was even a temporary bottom. and now...

you would be surprised of the size of some traders here. granted few hundred million and more, but we'll never know. also the more recent in the game are not always the smallest. :) From newbie to elite, I think many read the board because you never know when you will read something really...

size is relative. like I wrote, it's very easy to be too big if you trade low volume stocks. So it's always a choice. Also, depending on your style (time in the market). Darkhorse, with your timegrame and profile, I don't think you are about time to have the problem :) You can't have a...

I also see some correlation with the US equities going up (dollar accelerated down with recent break of sept lows with NDX, and 3 months lows of other US indices). Any chance of a rally on US equities is also a profit taking opportunity US/EUR.

darkhorse, I am not sure I understand what you really want to know. Would you be more specific about your concern ? liquidity is always an issue since it affects slippage. Depending on your timeframe it has more or less impact. But you know all that, that's why I am curious about where you...

you may be filled at the bid. However it will rarely be because you have an advantage (for the options I trade). Maybe the way to look at it is this : if you want a price and not more, send your limit order and you might be filled at the bid (if that's you). But the fill is likely to come if...

I am not sure it is a newbie thing. However, I used to make many trades a day (well, in low volatility environment it's a great play to do bands counter market.. then you can make many scalps a day.. there are other ways,but I talk here only about what I do). There is profit in doing less...

Just like stocks and futures the goal is not to predict really. But to know what is happening. You can apply indicators to volatility charts etc.. However, just like for stocks, the less is the better. The chart tells you a lot. Also, there are all kind of strategies to handle of this. What...

OK Lundy. Swing trading it is, and yes traders and investors and day traders : all the same. Unless you invest like Buffet you are a trader [when you buy knowing you will sell later... it does not matter if it is 2 mn, 2 weeks, 2 months or 2 years or even 2 decades]. If you are trying to...

good point ! that's an interesting aspects of fractals (or pseudo fractals). We must be sure we are looking at the same phenomenon on different time scales. there is room to argue it. Gee, I wish there would be more discussions like this on ET instead of always the same 'gut feeling' against...

darkhorse. loved your posts. disagree on one thing.. technical analysis does make sense on long term too. problem is, usually, traders/investors don't look at the complete chart.. ie the S&P can retrace HUGELY and still keep a valid long term bull market. it's easy to then accept the long...

kicking, it seems you will be able to upgrade.. this is from the communique : " Beginning Monday June 24th at 9 am ET, you may either open a new Universal Account from Open an Account, or convert an existing account to a Universal Account from the Account Login menu. Account conversion requests...

LOL !!! Of course it is very serious. the more you understand trading, the more relevant these rules are. It's pretty amazing. about news : hear all, trust nothing. regarding the bull market : Never confuse wisdom with luck. about stop loss : It's better to swallow your pride than to...
