DarkHorse, Excellent Commentary! there's a saying: "don't look the gift horse in the mouth", and its supposed to mean or suggest not to be overly suspicious of a favorable circumstance or outcome. However, to battle hardend veterans, one is taught to ALWAYS look the gift horse in the...

how about just blowing up your own account.... that makes a louder noise

until someone actually puts up size, and more stable economic times, trends, profits, dividends and chart patterns return, they're really not going to be that useful...

this is highly subjective. If youre comfortable being a fast learner, and the markets (stock trading method of choice) agrees with you, and there's favorable trading trends, then its fairly short period of time, and some have done this within 2 months (i.e. become profitable). Market...

how much did you pay? they're very, very pricey. over $3,000 for their 2day classes

OUTSTANDING summary..... 4:1 to the average guy (little guys need not apply) can hang you 6x as much as the previous 2:1 margin. At least when it came to going short or otherwise, 2:1 prevented you from getting into the $100,000 range unless your account was around $50,000 or more. Now you...

CLEAR!

once saw a trader, we'll call him "Mike", who had a very simplistic methodology that worked! 5 period SMA over 15 period SMA in tandem with volume, cross overs were buy/sell/short signals. he regularly hacked out profits consistently, whilest others were almost TA (tech analysis) geniuses...

you're not the only one, who was afraid of being faked out, yet again, however, this is where the hotkey buy/sell/short/cover comes into play. pulling the trigger without emotional doubts, and dealing with whatever profit you can cap out of a scalping move, is what this trading environment is...

instant spike from -6 DJ to +87 DJ, now presently at +32

.5% cut, they need to attack long term rates!

(this has probably been spoken to before, however, there are reems of pages on these topics, so I'll ask it, although it might have been asked before) Don this is one of the few times that I envy Redi+ as a plaform, that is regards listed stock trading. question: do you use or prefer...

nice, very nice!

a time series study on the top 44% representation of the QQQ's might expose which stock is highly correlated. however, I will suggest that the correlation might be coincidental instead of fundamental. http://www.nasdaq.com/asp/indexshares.asp?symbol=qqq

they gave one of the most logical examples that certainly makes sense MU - Micron Tech to SMH - Semi Cond Holders the correlation was very tight, by visual reference, I estimate over 85% (just saw the chart on the TV) anyone have other pairs?

you know, you're right. that's one of those replies I wish I could have recaptured (you know, erased) I guess that would be the essential part that needs to remain unknown so that it doesn't spoil the outcome. Cheers

mind sharing which stocks, and what size on these orders? I was able to get 8 fills, +414, out by 9:34am EST.

first let me say that this is one excellent thread!, and its threads like these, that come along ever so rarely, that make participation worth the time! here's my $.02 (2 cents), and after you cash it, you might want to give me change (i.e. not think my comments are worth the time of day)...

there are limited experiences of taking full backup's of a HDD and repeating the problem on a fresh install, or another system. Try to use the old method of hardcopy for extremely important things (phone lists, favorite pictures, source code, etc.). Try to use limited copy means, like 1.44"...

Don, what you're describing is equivalent to what fighter pilots are trained to do, regarding "trusting their instruments" instead of their visual observations. Interesting that you said, "no time to review or pop up a chart or anything". Something that is also "unsaid" is that in order for...
