    TAPE READING (chat room cont.)

    got pointed to this thread. i don't often trade nyse stocks, and virtually never trade the big boys on the nasdaq. so my methods aren't completely universal... however, i've found many of the things that maverick and steve said in the first couple pages of this thread to ring true, even on...

    18 year old trades

    also, just a warning; you'll find that sometimes, secondaries which don't collapse (near the price of the secondary) explode. jeff cooper included this in his book hit and run about 10 years ago or so. if you succeed, you'll eventually get a list of "here's rules / setups that won't work as...

    18 year old trades

    it's doable. some of my setups are based on this very premise. the most important thing with this strategy is to maintain your discipline on the losers, and to get out of your winenrs in your timeframe (ie. don't hold them longer, which contradicts most normal trading strategies). you'll...

    TSCM question - emailings galore?

    TSCM scaled up their email ads in 08, and really put their foot on the accelerator in 09. there is (was?) an option to turn off those ads in your personal settings or profile, though i can't say if it's still there.

    dennis kneale show cancelled!

    good news: that's one less hour the idiot is on tv. bad news: i never had cnbc on, so i never saw it. and the cancellation means there's a greater chance they'll put him back on power lunch. i actually had started not to move off of cnbc at noon. well, i had it muted, but not off of...

    Shorting AMEX:TIV

    i believe questrade clears through penson. penson (used to) not allow (without jumping through hoops) shorting of under $5 stocks unless they were huge companies. conditional, because i've avoided dealing with penson for several years now.

    this is close: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27793216/ the followup article - months later, national press coverage, and only a couple interviews (first page of the article is cached, rest is pay)...

    Attn Baron: upgrade your software to allow for self moderation of threads!

    there are a few SI posters on ET, i'm among them. the reasons for SI losing much of its base had nothing to do with the reasons cited above. there were a number of reasons, but one of them was actually disruptive members (which caused some of the individual mods to take "their" thread...

    Looking to buy a new PC

    monitor, i love my dell (made by samsung) 24". i paid more because they have better viewing angles, but they're great. you're paying far too much for the pc. i have a T3400 dell, reco'd by others (gnome, i believe, is a big supporter of this one). got it with XP and memory, i'm good to go.

    What bothers a trader the most ?

    two things: 1) during my trading, a halt. i want to be in control of my trades, and halts take away my control. 2) people who spout their opinions like they're (good) traders, but aren't. that ranges the gamut, from many guests on cnbc (who aren't traders, but are marketers), many of...

    Trading is hard, very hard, damn hard

    double the number of entries you make, but halve the size of your entries. if you're trading 1000 shares, make it 500 for each.
