FWIW, I'm a physician, but my specialty is not treating psychiatric disorders. If you do not actually have ADHD, the drugs prescribed for it will not help you concentrate. You need a specific neurochemical makeup to benefit from that stuff. Seriously, I know it sounds boring, but the best...

Why would you quit? After all, you know that some people are making a living this way. So why not you? You have already mastered a field that is more complicated than trading, so you are plenty smart enough to figure it out. Therefore, it seems to me you can trade. You need to find a...

Mozillo is not going to be enough to satisfy me. I want to see Ken Lewis go to jail. I will crack the Don Perignon when that happens.

You might want to try to get hold of Paul Forchione's books or look on his site. He has some very good and interesting ideas for adjusting short straddles. http://www.amazon.com/Trading-Options-Visually-Trade-Futures/dp/B000AMLXBI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1287198834&sr=1-1 They...

I have been attending a trading group that focuses on options. There is absolutely no discussion of money management in there--none. I have brought it up twice, and while people have been polite, they are not really interested in discussing it. Interestingly, only a few of the people in...

Yes, it is the game. Think of your own avocation, trading. There are many who say they would trade even if there were no money in it. I won't go that far, but I will say that I would still trade even if I did not need to ever make another dime. It's a way of keeping score--not...

This is outrageous. Who the fuck is going to pick the grapes for my 2010 Pinot Noirs? My cellar will suffer. Something needs to be done about this.

Well, that's cool. But I might be too old to see the charts by then.

still long....

Well, I don't know if you want to hear from me. I am not an experienced day trader. In fact, I have never really tried day trading. I have read a lot about it, and from my reading and backtesting, I have never seen any clear way to make money at it. I am NOT saying that it cannot be...

I do not doubt that others can make $ with triangles, trendlines, etc. I just do not know how to do it myself. The problem is that there is no way to know when to start and when to end them. They are subjective. A moving average, a Bollinger band, an oscillator: these things I can...

This is the most accurate post on here. Maybe some who are quick to criticize should actually read something about what the Gates foundation does. A few thoughts: Severe debilitating or chronic infections that many in Africa and central America suffer from are a tremendous drain on...

Amen. There is no reason for you to worry about the fact that you owe $100 on your house (or even your credit card) over the next 20-30 years if your house payment is $5 per year and your job is paying you $25 per year--especially if your job is guaranteed!!! And this is the case for our...

At least in the US, selling burgers is not that simple. Health laws, legal protections....then, would you like to take a few days off once in a while? You need an employee--more laws, requirements, insurance, problems. The people who think a thing is easy are those who have never tried...

Hey, do they still have those shows on middled-of-the-night TV where sailors go diving for ancient wrecks? I loved those. My 2 cents: people perceive that the world economy is recovering. Because of all the currency that has been put out there over the past 2 yr, massive inflation is...

Tell us what you mean by banks pulling their currency of the market? thx

When I was in grad school ten years ago, the school had a smart card for each student. You could do absolutely everything with that card--food, books, incidentals. No worrying about your wallet being stolen or, as I am likely to do, left on a cafeteria tray. I loved the convenience...

oktiri, are you out there? I believe the OP has left the thread and we are all just talking to ourselves. Oh, well.

My backtesting is pretty sloppy, consisting of looking at Yahoo charts and looking at the crossovers and slopes.

It's true, you have to lie. Otherwise you will never get to trade them. That is what I did. They don't care about that anyway. They are just obligated to ask you. Go back and open another account under another user name.
