    You are a fool, if think become consistant within few years

    What evidence do you have that they are consistent? As one previous poster pointed out, most can't even beat the market. As a successful trader I know what it takes to make it in this game. I have been doing so for five years, and will go on doing it for another five. If you want to be...

    You are a fool, if think become consistant within few years

    I was making money within 3 months of starting my trading career. These guys have been right their entire life, trading is very seldomly about being "right", it is about making money. It probably takes that long to "bring them down a bit!" :) There are many components to successful trading...

    Adjusting betsize for long vs short

    Livermore, built that position over a period of months prior to the meltdown happening. He was all in! I don't understand why so many system guys try to construct a model to catch that once in a lifetime event? Yes, you can make thousands of dollars, even more if you are positioned...

    Don Bright's "Core Positions"...

    Famous last words, There is no such thing as a safe stock. A theoretically sound concept, but one that is hardly worth executing! Consider this, Bright makes a lot of money charging their traders haircut, and the more money you have tied up in overnights, the bigger their take on their...

    The greener pastures of Dell Coupons

    $100 today is not alot of money to me, but If making a phone call can get it back, I will give it a shot. $100 an hour is worthy of my time. On my airline Tickets, that phone call saved me $150 per ticket,$600 total, a car payment or two for most folks. Most stores today have a best...

    You daytrade, What is your days goal?

    As a side note, I just ordered a few of Ari's books and have started to read them. If Steve Cohen is using his strategies to coach his traders then I better start implementing them into my game plan if I want to remain competitive. Don't you think it is wise to emulate the best if you want...

    You daytrade, What is your days goal?

    First, let me start by suggesting that you create a business plan for 2006, and get going on it immediately. One thing holds true, you can't hit a target you don't aim for! Second, add a regular review period where you check your progress and make necessary adjustments to ensure your keeping...

    The greener pastures of Dell Coupons

    I feel your pain, I just ordered a system using dell's $750 coupon, only to discover a week later that the same system is running around $100 cheaper! This also happened to me on airline tickets over Thanksgiving, at least the Airline did the honorable thing and refunded the difference.

    You daytrade, What is your days goal?

    I have 15 year term life insurance for me and my wife. Based upon my past 5 years performance coupled with some relatively conservative projections going forward, I estimate I will no longer need life insurance from then on. That being said, there are some interesting tax strategies that...

    You daytrade, What is your days goal?

    I think the most important goal for any trader is to "Trade and make money today" I follow that up with a specific earnings plan that will get me to my target. In it, I outline my strategy, the expectation for that strategy per day, a daily earnings target, and my projected monthly and...

    ATR of a spread....

    For historical data, you need to create an intraday chart of the spread and create your own data. I used 1 minute bars to get a fairly accurate idea of the intraday movement of the spread.

    Checklist for Success..No.2

    Having a plan is important, in fact, nearly all the good traders I know or have met, have a trading plan. I would add, you need to track your progress, and adjust your strategy as necessary to keep on plan.
