I don't know about the historic P/E's, but looking at the tape for ISRG, BIDU, FSLR, I can see the big players pushing the stock around.

c'est possible!

Yea, I care less about the dollar value of my account and more about how solid my trades are.

Instead of reading your post I would like to ask what your actual POSITIONS are. Real men, real traders take positions. Actions speak louder than words.

I think I see a double top formation forming.

It's legit, but it's hard to know whether they were bought or sold. Ruling out a naked position, word on the street is that they are part of a bear call spread.

makloda, practically speaking the existence of V-bottoms is rare and most of the time, long-term bottoms consist of double or even triple bottoms. nothing is a definite in the market, but being traders we want to play the percentages.. so a retest of the low is likely to happen.

No point in arguing about it, the market will prove who is right in the coming days.

I concur, no legs in the bounce. Could've retraced further but it ran out of steam. An ominous sign.

Hey, I enjoyed this read and hope you come out of what you're dealing with OK. I'm looking to go into proprietary trading one day, and your experience will surely be beneficial. I have a couple questions though, if you don't mind me asking. 1. Did you run into personal problems at the...

Put in the screen time.

Some serious ownage right here.

Engineering most definitely, it requires a more analytical and rigorous approach to solving problems. and if we are talking about money, economists are not rich people either. also I could go get any job out of college with an engineering degree that a economics major could get. I feel...

If this works I'll give you a heads up and a PM, I wonder if it'll work for plain ol' equity options. The problem with doing this is commission, wouldn't be bad if your brokerage charged on a per-contract basis with no trade fees.

The bear market for me started in July when internals started to fall apart. It doesn't transition overnight, the bear market can begin when there is still a bull market. Livermore's words, not mine.

2% doesn't work as well on small accounts, but it doesn't mean you forgive risk management altogether... you look for something more practical. I had a 2k account once, would've gotten killed on commissions. I took longer-term, more definite trades using a system that gave me about 1 or 2...

What you are comparing is really apples to oranges. Margin in the sense of the word, is different in futures than it is in equities. Futures are like good-faith deposits, the margin rate is dependent on the contract. For example let's say I go long a contract that has a $500 margin, and...

On your previous posts: You can ALWAYS tell who the successful, profitable traders are and who the frustrated wannabes are. Newbies can stir up all the trouble and ruffle all the feathers they want, but in the end traders always bring home the check.

Not really clear-cut IMO because leverage in options involves the strike price and its distance to the underlying. The underlying instruments themselves though, should go in this order SPX ES SPY

Would love to do it but I'm still in school! I'll contact you in a few years
