nimrodeo, You're looking for the stock to be 'in play' which means that a lot of attention is directed towards it suddenly. Usually this is coupled with an event which puts a lot of people on the wrong side and gets others without a position to come in and take advantage of it. We're...

The Vancouver promoters do ok :p

How about long the baby bonds and short the common?

You're about as coherent as Patty.

Pabst, the ideas that the 'vendors' disseminate are the same ones the continue to use to make money. But lets leave them aside. What about all those who aren't vendors? Just a laundry list: Woodies CCI, Praetorian's GNP, Maoxian's 'dummy trades', my end of year plays, etc... These and more...

Over the years, I've noticed that the greater the trader the more open they are and willing to share ideas. The more inexperienced and less skilled traders all think that they've discovered something that is so darned precious that it can't be shared (meanwhile they have nothing of value 99.999%...

"Best CIO in America" MIA

Apparently you do need to learn to read more carefully. I wrote, "if OSTK was the opportunity that some are making it out to be..." I didn't say anything about its merit as a company. To spell it out (again): if the opportunity was there to take this company private and hose illegal shorts to...

Nope. I didn't say that. I said if OSTK was the opportunity that some are making it out to be, then Cerberus which is run by one of the smartest guys around would take it private. And if not them, another similar hedge fund. Might want to read a bit more carefully next time.

Trapper, given the 'fractal' nature of price I'm sure that you could take 'dummy' trades on any time frame really (from minutes to daily to weekly). The essence is the same, attempt to ride a trend via a risk limiting entry. Razor et al. please put up visual aides!If you like pick one chart...

Nice call Apex :)

flytiger, you still don't get it. Free markets are the best solution to manipulation because they seek out their own annihilation. You completely missed my point: if there was value to be had in OSTK Cerberus would be all over it like hundreds of other public co. they took private. If not them...

Allow a way to remove spikes (distortions in axis). When the cross hairs are activated, have info such as high/low/open/close/time. On the price axis, show current real time price (write it, highlighted or bold). Oh and have price axis on both sides (or toggle to one or the other).

No, I threw it together after reading your post. It assumes a +3R target, a 25% scratch rate, 22.5% win rate and a 52.5% stop loss hit. With those assumptions it shows that you would have a + expectancy of 0.15 or in other words for each $ invested you would get $1.15 (on avg over many...

You mean something like the attached spreadsheet? I'm not really sure you can code dummies (unless you tweak it into something codeable) as the whole thing is quite discretionary. The entry isn't but what stock you pick is. As well as how you manage the trade, which is probably the most...

Apex, just a friendly note that there is something called an ignore list. You can access it via your account screen. :)

vhenn, as I've already said, if OSTK was a good company it would have already been taken private by Cerberus or similar fund. The fact that they stay away is all you need to know.

Today HGSI should have been on the radar due to its gap down as well as extremely high volume. With the 15 minute chart it gave a dummy entry at $9.25 (stop loss at $9.45 or $9.50). The spike down (blue circle) was a good place to exit as afterwards the intraday trend shifted. If you cover...

Someone else mentioned slow charts (updating behind quotes) but I've never seen this. Steve, how do we update to the beta? do we have to download it manually and then install over existing? (can you tell I've never tried a beta?) My auto updater doesn't let me download beta. Maybe you can...

And what if it persists? would it still be equine fertilizer? Albert, the whole point is this: you construct your own reality. What you consider to be horseshit will be horseshit. That's radical constructivism in a nutshell. The corollory is that you have the power to decide your reality...
