    Trading Methods?

    gotta trade, That piece you posted "Skill Building Produces Consistent Profits" did'nt tell you how to find one high prob trade. The guy just rambled on about nothing to do with trading stocks. And you dont need a "crystal ball" to find high prob trades. A good real-time scanner is all the...

    What good are we traders for?

    Trading? It's one way to make an honest living. Non-institutional persons are allowed to buy and sell securities, etc., along with the institutional participants. The market needs participants to function well. The more the better. Such participation is encouraged. PDT's now get 4/1 margin so as...

    Trading Methods?

    gotta trade, Throw out the 1000 piece puzzle. Keep it simple. Did you notice that stocks rally every day? Ever tried to pick those winners. It's great fun. It's like picking the winning horse but much less risky. Figure out how to tell which stock is likely to go up. When you get good at it...

    Trading Methods?

    Recognising high probability setups is the key. Your high prob setup is your reliable fishing hole. Knowing that you have a high probability setup brings confidence because a satisfactory outcome can be expected at the tally. Net profit satisfactory.

    Trading Methods?

    Solace, Stocks go up every day. Study EVERYTHING about those stocks that go up (and stocks that point upward and fail) and prevailing market conditions. You just might get to know the high prob trades after a while. Not many of them. Pick the best one or two daily and buy 2000 shares (or...

    What is the WORST indicator?

    Indicators. What do they indicate? Future price movement? No they do not, and reliance on them can cost you. RSI for overbought/oversold is the most reliable in my view. Market upturns/downturns clearly move with RSI overbought/oversold indications.

    Show Me The Money

    Answer me this one question: Stocks breakout and rally up EVERY DAY, even when the averages plunge in an allday selloff. You buy 2000 shares and let it go up .25 and then sell. You make $500. Two positions= $1000. YOU DONT GO BACK IN. You go for it again the next day. Does it take a genius to...

    Getting around PDT rules

    if you have limited trading capital like $5000 ($10000 with margin) trade only stocks $5 - $10. When stocks begin to do bigger range again (next month) an $8 stock can give you .30c on 1000 share= $300. Wait for the strong performers and do 3 daytrades a week= $900. If you have a night job you...
