On the "auto stop" issue, simply pick up the phone and call IB...I would have thought, not that I know their set up, that there was an option to set an automatic function that covers both profit goal and a fixed stop on the initial entry.... Hopefully other IB customers in this forum may also...

I remember saying to my wife, "thats it, the real estate market is topping". "Why?, she said...."we just got an extra real estate supplement in the paper". Same thing happened when we had virtually 24 hour tv on tech and now ,just recently, an "oil special"....and so it goes. I was honestly...

He writes a good column, but he has been all over the place like a madwoman's breakfast with Citi and other trade financial trades over the last 4/5 months...I can't keep up.... So I read his column simply for his opinions on the economy, which do make some sense.

Nice call and trade.

Thankyou, Osorico.....that has been my leaning also although I repect the few positive opinions offered...so here goes...

The proof will be in the pudding.

I am not trying to sell anything. Since when were you made custodian of the "welcome mat"? My trading model requires me making approximately 5 - 8 trades a day, therefore it simply would not be practical to be coming in and out of the thread as my focus is trading not play-by-play...

Thanks London and Fearless for your comments... Should I proceed , one thing has to be understood from the outset...there will NOT be any LIVE Calls or any other tommy rot that will preclude me from staying focused on trading itself. In my opinion, that suggestion is off the wall and would...

I feel that there should be a clear segregation between real money accounts on the forum from the Walter Mittys et al. as , as stands, it would appears to undermine the benefits this forum can offer. I am contemplating offering myself to the slaughter by either creating a new thread or...

Maybe you get a little battle fatigue towards the end of the week...going to sugeest trying a 4 day week....ooops, this was a 4 day week:eek: Write down what you did at the beginning of the week related to your solid method and then read it aloud at least 5 times to yourself every day before...

"is actually beneficial to the US economy"....can now be read as "WAS actually beneficial to the US economy" This factor will become more obvious to everyone in late summer/cum fall and therafter. In the meantime, you had better hope that there is a change in policy,regardless who makes...

They need some smack to overcome the pain when it all hits the fan...imagine the scrutiny they will be subjected to when they report their next quarterly report....except the SEC as they have blinkers on:mad:

And ain't that the truth!!! Toss in LEH and Merrill and Wachovia (too a lesser extent)....we simply have to wait for these guys to be honest...you can make provisions in the balance sheet ,but ultimately it has to get to the income statement...then the shareholders will be feeling very...

Nice work....stay cool...for the fun of it, why not pull the profit from your account...photograph the check...and then go out and really enjoy yourself with the profits of this trade.... Guarantee you will not forget it..... Did it once...sent my wife and daughter to Australia for a few...

Your primary goal should be honest to yourself and then it will be easy to honest with others.... You can simply blow us all out of the water with a single daily brokers' activity sheet, sans confidential info,...any day will do that supports your summary or trading activity. From what I...

If you have accepted the "calm" within yourself to trading the automated system's output should mean "diddley squat". Frankly,I see you as you own master, and your trading method, while I do not necessarily like but ...hey ...whatever works, right??...you will be succesfull. My only...
