I don't know what platform he's using but I traded MON on this day with lightspeed. I played the long above the 50 on the opening drive play when it showed strength above 49.90 and quickly through 50, the prices were skipping pretty good, but on a play like this I sweep my orders (as it appears...

Lescor, do you think earnings season will blow the lid off of it? I know you don't play earnings stock, just curious as to what you believe might be the catalyst for this market to wake up? Personally I would like to see it quiet or a break of the uptrend going into earnings season, but thats...

Just some advice, you should put in a max daily loss, some days you just can't feel the market so its better just to stop and to be able to trade tomorrow then to try to force it.

When you go live, start by trading 1 stock at a time, and only trade 100 or 200 shares max. You shouldn't be trading more then 10kshs a day either. When you become a little more comfortable with the feel of being live, and have posted some gross profits (ie gross $200 over a 5 day period or...

Agreed, you can just create and excel spreadsheet that will grab the data from the historical page off of Yahoo finance. FWIW I have had to change the % from time to time, because of my trading timeframe. Also personally I play inplay stocks, and the risk that he would give is much more then the...

He calculates the values based on a % of the ATR, so it does constantly change, just not by much usually.. You can get a free 30 day trial to his material through his website, you can start by using that to get a feel for how its calculated. I have been using this method for both stocks (I...

T3 is legitimate. Mark Sperling runs the firm.

No offense but you can't blame the bots on hunting for your stops, thats complete bs and comical. Why don't you post your charts and show where you put your stops? The people giving sound advice to you are just trying to help, but it seems as though you are very hardheaded with your...

You need to analyze all of your trades every day, and replay them, see where you would have added or taken some risk off. Your attitude for taking certain setups shouldn't be hoping (you should never be hoping or praying while trading), it should be more like, 'if I took this setup 10 times...

I know Bella and he couldn't be a nicer guy, just saying... He's confident because he's a great trader, but very down to earth.

For me its the ability to everyday come into the market and try to be an elite performer. Its the closest thing I will ever get to being a professional athlete, all the practice, hard work that I have put into this craft gets tested every day.

For me its not that I don't trade after 11am I just know that high probability setups aren't usually around during this time for my strategy, so I'm a lot more cautious and I question moves alot more, also trade with smaller size. Volume is a lot lighter, more algo's to battle against. If you do...

If I were you, go back on a simulated account until after labor day, the moves in the market will be kind of random until real volume shows up. It sounds like you need to be a lot more patient with your trading too, you are playing move to move, and not the bigger picture. Remember you aren't...

Pick up a couple books on TA, I like Brian Shannon's book or street smarts linda raschke (more for swing trading though if you can 'borrow' it from somewhere that is better). Brian's book will help you get started in understanding whats behind TA, though it doesn't really give chart patterns its...

My mistake, I actually use Camtasia.

I use CamStudio works great. I usually will record my screen about 1 1/2hrs at a time, then start a new recording. A exercise I do after the day is look at the charts, find patterns, then go back to the tape to see what the price action looked like, it will help you see patterns during the day...

Focus on trading, not on P&L for the first year. The first year shouldn't be about making money, it should be about learning setups that work for you, how to find more of those setups during the day and refine your skills at other setups.Put in proper risk parameters so you don't blow out your...

+2 I don't want this to come across as rude, just some advice. How long have you been trading for? When you post your charts I take a look at them but something that I always ask myself and you should too is, whats my plan for this trade? When I look at your charts I can't tell what your...

I personally focus more on in play stocks then will have a handful of stocks that I tend to trade better and keep those on my radar for levels to watch ect... I find that in play stocks will usually have more volume, better moves and will tend to trend more intraday then their ATR on average...

I agree, and personally it was worth it for me, I can't speak for someone who didn't take it seriously or only had $10k to trade with anyway. FWIW SMB covers all the commission/fee's..
