Thank you. I don't really understand. The system is also five months old, and it is doing well.

At least I get something for my property taxes. My city has an excellent library. There are many parks in my neighborhood. If I call the police or paramedics, they will show up in about 60 seconds. They risk their lives for me. I am happy to pay their pensions. On the other hand...

Cramer will not help you either. When the shit hits the fan, you don't have time to go check the fundamentals again. So set some non-fuzzy rules and follow them.

I am not going to recommend in a public forum that you lie, but I will tell you that's what I did when I first started trading options, since I could not see any other way to get started. But, as we do with trading sometimes, try to think about who is on the other side of your trade. The...

Who cares if he is serious--it is an entertaining question.

Blaming Bernanke and the Fed for this shit is like blaming the doctor who is giving you chemotherapy for your lung cancer for your demise, when the fact is that you should have quit smoking 30 years ago. It is Congress who has pissed away all this money on wars and social programs, and we...

NetTecture, they are just etfs--the system is for someone who has 60 seconds each day to trade--they are position trades with an average holding period of about 90 days

I respectfully disagree. Risk taking is rewarded. Specifically, successful risk taking is rewarded. Ditch diggers alert: Hard work is not rewarded.

Redneck, I always enjoy your wisdom. My lesson: Ignore the news. No, this time it is not different--ignore the news.

No. As best I can tell, there is no way to figure that out from the site.

Thanks for the replies, and....perhaps I have not explained myself very well. This has nothing to do with posting code. I don't use any code. I just review some ETF and ETN charts daily and post trades in the morning based on my rules. I am not posting my rules, nor does collective2.com...

I posted a system on collective2.com. I'm having trouble getting subscribers. I am wondering why--Matthew over there is not too interested in helping me figure it out. I would appreciate anyone who has experience with these types of sites helping me think about it. Here are some possible...

Good point. No need for insurance when you are 19.

Do you like to hit a lot of singles, or are you happy to strike out most of your times at bat, waiting for the perfect home run pitch? I am a singles gal, so that is the bias I bring to this analysis. If I really think you have the direction right, I believe I am better off with a near-term...

I am not sure this can be practically done with SPY, unless you go out several months. Even with a very low-commission broker, the commission will eat up a large part of the return.

You are clearly much smarter than some of us were at your age. At that time I would have used $90 to purchase dope or something equally stupid. You have received several good suggestions here. I like the IWM one best, but that's just me. But in general, this is a fairly bad place to...
