    Poker and the Beginning Trader

    I believe that the safest way is to send the money via Western Union. It is considered a wire transfer. You must contact the customer service department to get the wiring instructions. It is quick, easy, and safe. But, it is more expensive. Has anyone else used this method?

    Where/what service can I subscribe to inorder to receive market on close/imbalances?

    They are published on the Dow Jones New Service. Market on close imbalances used to be great plays in the 90's. They really fizzled out in 2000. Too many people know about them now. Once in a while you will catch a good one. But, it's rare.

    Trader Nirvana???

    I have been thinking about the same thing. I am considering purchasing a second home in Florida. So far, I have narrowed it down to the west coast of Florida, anywhere between Sarasota and Clearwater. I would love to spend 4 or 5 months a year there.

    Who thinks .05 increments work better ?

    Right now, I really don't think it would make a difference. There is a complete lack of momentum, force, and conviction in the marketplace. We need all of those things to have solid, bold, and meaningful moves. In my opinion, it doesn't matter what the spreads are, it will be...

    gotta_trade's scalping journal

    There are 4 or 5 NYSE stocks that I stick to each day. I am very familiar with how they trade. I also trade story stocks and once and a while I'll trade the QQQ and SPY.

    Well, yes, today I spent $800 in commissions. I usually spend $500-$1000 in commissions each day. It just so happens that today's gross profit was +1082 and most of that was commissions. I had alot of scratch trades today and I gave some money back in the last 15 minutes of the day. My...

    gotta_trade's scalping journal

    I am going to set a record for ET's shortest journal. It's something that I always wanted to do, but now that I did it, I don't really want to continue. Nothing personal, but, posting a daily journal is just not for me. Best of luck to everyone.

    End of Day: +1083 before commissions, +242 after I am not happy with the way I finished off the day. Lost money shorting late day rally. I feel that I overtraded. Tomorrow, I will make a point to be more selective.

    gotta_trade's scalping journal

    I don't know why I am writing this journal. I have been reading posts on ET for quite a while. I rarely ever post. I enjoyed reading Hitman's journals, and I still check them out every day,(on that other website). I guess I use them as some sort of benchmark. Just to see how other traders...

    gotta_trade's scalping journal

    Every trade that I make is based of the S+P futures. And how the stocks react to the futures contract. Most of my trades are entered by buying pullbacks, shorting rallies, and fading overextended moves. In this market, I rarely buy breakouts. I don't hold on the the positions very long...

    MIDDAY UPDATE: +982 before commissions, +429 after I traded 79,000 shares so far today. I did not catch any big moves in my trades. Many small moves. Didn't lose much, didn't make much. But, it's better than nothing. In the old days, the moves would have been bigger. That's one of...
