LOL!

You're right, I shouldn't have used the word best but it's a good strategy. Trailing stop will lets you protect profit and ride profit at the same time. Stops based on new highs are what i'm referring to. Not percentage, etc. Price point sets new high, stop moves to bottom of...

Patience and a fixed stop is the key. A trailing stop works best. You have to be able to handle some losses as well...it's all part of the game. What you need is to find a strategy for the market which works greater than half the time. It's as simple as that. I found one that worked...

Are you retarded?

Cramer is as worthless as empty tube of toothpaste.

Im new to strategy runner (switched over from PATS) and have been getting much laggier orders. What's the deal with this. PATS worked great. Other than that I love the software.

House of cards will fall sooner or later. IMO we need a rate hike to burst this bubble though. That's the only thing that's different this time around. Greenspan's hand is out of the money.

lol im willing to try everything. If it eases the nerves im game

LOL! I was wondering why they always break through on the 4th try. ;) Yup, im prepared for either way. Just really think the market acted goofy today. Really expected it to hold a little better off that CPI data. Either way ill be scalpin as usual....

haha funny I found this thread. I was thinkin about this as well. I usually get some awful jitters and I dont think 1 beer would hurt. Most of my trade is systematic anyways so I dont thin it'd hurt

Are you talking A/H or normal hours? I believe they can float them, but on higher volumes it's gonna be riskier to try and manipulate it and IMO not worth it. I know all about the Jim Cramer video, which is kinda the same idea.

Got my vote

LOL!!

Here we go. Another indication today. Lost all the earlier gains. Especially after the fundamentals were released. Still playing toward the down-side. Am curious to see what tomorrow brings. Could see another pull-back in the overseas tonight. Just flippin as usual though.

1:1.25 with ~80% winners. Use auto trailing stops. If I manually trail stops I can get more from the market, however I get trigger happy. On the right days i've had 100% winners. Lots of discipline needed for it though. BTW: For everyone, most dont need more than a 1.5 point stop...

AMEX is a joke. It's a glorified OTC. With some of the least liquid stocks out there.

1:2 OCO usually. ( 1 point stop, 2-3 point limit sell) ........I then use a .25 trail for every .25 uptick. AKA once I have a 1 point profit, my stop will be at even. I scalp the ES. Depending upon the breakout I will adjust my sell point if needed.

Thanks! You too :)

Yup :) About friggin time. Do you trade electronically?

Damn....nailed this
