    What kind of techniques do heavy scalpers use?

    So do you think someone out there is getting time and sales that is NOT aggregated? Someone out there is getting better or faster quotes than your typical reatil trader? I think the answer is no. A memeber on TT sitting in the clearing firm might have a few milliseconds on a retail trader but I...

    What kind of techniques do heavy scalpers use?

    John. Its a very level playing field and being a member doesnt just automatically jump you to the front of the line. At least not in the ES or any other stock index future that Im aware of. I know Eurodollars for one does give some advantage to the members or the bigger players but nothing like...

    Borrowing from 401k?

    My simple, yet profitable trading strategy

    Dustin. Great posts. If you dont mind Im wondering how you screen for your stocks. Are you just looking at % gainers and % losers? I saw on a old thread you use trade ideas. Just wondering if you could shed a little light on this? Thx alot. Jim

    My simple, yet profitable trading strategy

    If I understand, you are looking at highest percentage gainers from each stocks opening print? So if a stock gaps up 5% you would not buy unless in moved an additional 5%...or whatever it takes to meet your up criteria? Thanks for your help. Jim

    The market cannot defeat you

    Great post. This is also what has brought my trading around. Im not that good at making money...what I AM good at is not losing money. If you start to really focus on the losers, keeping them small, then you will really start to see some progress. My old roommate and myself both kept track of...

    The market cannot defeat you

    I do agree with the fact 90% will lose. But I think alot of those traders make their OWN decision as to when to buy or when to sell...I could be wrong about this though. jim

    The market cannot defeat you

    I really cant belive you would take your hard earned money and trade a market that you KNOW is manipulated. Blackjack would be a much better game. How do you think they know where all the retail orders are? How could one find out such information? good trading jim
