    Any experience with Cyborg Trading?

    I've used Cyborg with Sterling and Trade-Ideas for a short time and agree with everything previously said. It's a great program that easily allows you to automate, and is very stable and fast.

    New guys, now is not the time

    Not my intention at all. Over the years I've had countless PM's from new traders asking for direction. This blanket post is meant for them. Anyways you can have your opinion and let's leave it at that.

    New guys, now is not the time

    Untrue, I was too defensive on some crazy days last year and regret it. There wasn't a risk of blowing out so what was the point? I think knowing when to press your bets is an important aspect of trading.

    Yeah that's me, just another losing trader who doesn't know what he's talking about. Today: On your second point I agree that if any new trader can make it now, they have a good chance succeeding long term.

    New guys, now is not the time

    Not at all impossible. The indices influenced mostly by a handful of stocks. When the market is active then everything else starts moving too. That's when there's real opportunity, at least for my trading style. I think a lot of new traders fall into the trap of trading the typical high...

    For you guys that like to trade those names I imagine there were some nice opportunities lately. I agree that this past week showed promise and I hope there's more to come. Are you saying you think new traders should be trading AAPL AMZN BIDU?
