    A little brain Teaser! I need your help and the answer will pertain to trading

    On a related note, your thread title doesn't make any sense. How do you "need our help" if you already know the answer?

    A little brain Teaser! I need your help and the answer will pertain to trading

    Popup ads on the internet that lead to rebill scams after the "free trial" so the reason your sales increased was because customers weren't able to cancel their $89.99 per month credit card charge because your customer service phone numbers didn't go anywhere. amirite?

    Fading an unsuccessful strategy?

    sigh. If you're going to try this, try it on a longer timeframe. Why? Because on a shorter timeframe you will get screwed by the spread. If you're trying to enter or exit at 1,000 on the ES, for example, you will probably actually buy at 1000.25 or sell at 999.75 due to the spread. If...

    Is swing trading the same as trend following?

    Swing trading just means shorter duration, like a few days to a few weeks-ish. You can swing trade trend following, or you can swing trade counter trend. "Swing trading," "day trading," "long term/investing," those terms only refer to the length of time the position is held.

    Fading an unsuccessful strategy?

    The opposite of a losing strategy is still a losing strategy. I didn't believe it until I had backtested this ENDLESSLY because intuitively, you keep thinking that it should work. But it doesn't. Otherwise, I'd just go short every time there's a MACD bullish cross and be ready to retire...

    Any recommended book for day trading beginner?

    Hi, Just go to Borders or your local bookstore and look through them. I have probably 10-20 books on trading and none of them are really helpful. You can find the same info online for free. They mostly just say things like this: - here are some indicators (and then they show you...

    If your ass burns and you wipe and get some blood.

    If it's bright red it's external bleeding. You either wiped too hard or you have a hemorrhoid. Go to the doctor if it keeps happening or if it bothers you. If it's dark red, it's internal bleeding, and most likely much more serious. Go to the doctor ASAP.

    Has anyone heard of NAEA tax agents? v.i heard H&R block sucks and NAEA is better

    My "expenses" are a few computer software programs and money that I paid to outsource some work. I paid for all of those with PayPal so I have easy records. Those are all legit expenses, right? It's not like I'm taking my friends out to lunch and saying "business expense!" So for the...

    Volume = useless

    Agreed. I made a huge thread about this: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=134773 I've also made all sorts of Volume Delta indicators, ask, bid, analyzing them in every manner you can imagine, combining them, throwing them through every equation you can think of...

    Has anyone heard of NAEA tax agents? v.i heard H&R block sucks and NAEA is better

    ...although it could have been just sales propaganda. So how does it work. Do I just go to their website and find a local person and send them an email/call them and get a meeting set up? Has anyone used them before? Basically my income last year was complicated (to me), unemployment...

    multiple bollinger bands

    Look at your chart from 1/19 through 1/21. Price was outside the 3rd band for a while. Could you have survived that big of a draw down? BB mean reversion systems work awesomely until price trends too hard one day and you blow your account. It may happen on the first day, or it may happen 4...
