After some thought I have decided to stick with no_pm's method almost exactly. I will use keltner channels, and use ADX as well. Here are the rules: 1. price must make a higher high or lower low and must be outside the keltner channel. In order for there to be a higher high/lower low...

The main point of this journal for now is to have a place to develop my plan, as I won't actually be trading for a little while. All in input is most welcome, as these days I acknowledge that I am not a good trader. So here is my basic idea. Ready....drumroll...................... Copy...

Ah good point. :( Mod can you move this please? Sorry. You are right about the mental thing. That is what poker is all about. Take a 1k dip in 5 minutes and stay on your game. Fun stuff. This is the main reason I think I am ready for trading again. They are basically the same...

I'm back! Here are links to my previous 2 journals. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=20640 http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=41981 Reading back on these is pretty funny stuff. I was so clueless and arrogant it is embarrasing to read...

Hi, I've been on and off this forum for a while. I want to make medium to long term(days to months) trades. I am a poker player for a living and don't mind taking some chances. I plan on playing with 5k and want to lose about 500 on my bad trades. I can lose the 5k no problem. I can grind...

I have a question for Gallas2 and NWBprop. I like the style you two trade. May I ask how you screen for stocks? Gallas I looked at your excel file but it didn't give me a clue as to how you screen. (I am slow) BTW If any of you remember me from last year, I am back! Been playing poker...

I'm sure that happens, but it is usually obvious and there are so many bad players that it is still worth it to play.

They are legit. A lot of people say they are rigged, but these folks probably don't do too hot in casinos either. Just go with the big ones, stars, party, etc... and you will be fine.

I am finding more rocks on there, not necessarily tough though. You have to get the table going. Raise more than you usually would and see how mad you can get people. Increases bankroll variances, but also your bottom line in my experience. Drop in stakes if you don't feel comfortable...

But the computers are programmed to play book openings, so they don't have to figure any of this out. They don't start "thinking" until the game has left opening theory. And I guarantee the opening book in a word class computer is greater than any humans opening knowledge, even Kasparov.

I'm a chess master and I've been following this computer thing for a while. Fact is, computers are already better. IBM got rid of their computer once they showed it could beat Kasparov. The difference between trading and chess is that in chess there is a finite number of possibilities, and a...

Yeah you are right, I won't post any more. I was just responding to some comments is all. BTW, up to 1250, so I'm going pro. Made $1150 in about 10 hours of play. :) Later y'alls, I guess this is my last post. EDIT: That link you posted is nice. Maybe you should link to the post...

OK put me in the "Was doing well, but found a better source of income" category. I didn't bust out, I was actually doing quite well. I just do so much better at poker it is a much better return on my money. Played an hour this morning, up to $960, will surely reach my goal tonight.

After a marathon 7 hours yesterday I am up to $725. Holy poker!!

I've set a goal for myself, I have cashed out all but $100 from my account. If I can turn that into 1k within a week I am putting in my two weeks notice and going pro. Wish me luck!

There are rumors that people are already doing that, but it is all just speculation I think. I can't stand playing the low limit tables, too many fish, and when have 4 fish calling you to the river when you hold AA, you are an underdog to win. Gets old. The only holdem I play now is in...

Keep in mind this is in hi/lo. If I said I was doing that in holdem I would be full of it. EDIT: I also play multiple tables when there are a few going. Makes a big difference.

But this one quit while he was about $100 ahead. :) Seriously, poker is just so much easier that I don't feel the need to get myself all stressed out trying to beat the markets. I realized I would rather do a little math than try and predict the future. The hours are much nicer as well...

Yep I am playing online. I started with a few hundred but I am up thousands by now, wouldn't even think of going pro until I have a comfortable bank roll. Thanks Nkhoi. Good luck in your trading.
