    New Elite Trader Wishlist

    since everyone is getting all riled up about websites (chat rooms/stock picking, etc.) why not set up a review section for them? Not only would it provide a place for all the bile directed at the snake oil salesmen, it might even serve as a great place for newbies to find info and get a good...

    filtering intraday % volatility

    might want to take a look at www.tc2000.com You can filter for ATR (avg trading range) and then divide by the stock price to get a percentage. I´m not sure if it will do exactly what you want it right off the bat or require some coaxing. Contact them and see what they say. They are a pretty...

    Why do patterns fail?-makes no sense

    Why do patterns fail?-makes no sense

    personally I´m not interested in why patterns fail, the question is intriguing but I doubt that answering it would lead to profits what I´ve learned from experience is that going with a failed pattern is a high probability trade. For a great recent example of a failed head and shoulder top...

    Trading FROM offshore

    trading from offshore means that you have a presence outside of your tax jurisdiction (whether legal or illegal). Usually an IBC structure is used to open an account in its name and then trading authority is given to whomever the board chooses. you may want to take a look at www.internaxx.com...

    basically this person´s boat was lifted by the rising tide and he mistook it for something he did! his returns were astronomical during the bubble-mania but since then he has reverted to the mean. nothing special in other words. You can find out yourself by getting a free trial to the...

    New Toronto Firm

    the regulators do not work for us (traders/investors) they work for large banks in Canada. The newspapers also work for the banks, pretty much the whole country works for them. the media has no interest in entering a battle royale.....because they are part of the system.

    lol...its not the regulators its the banks shaking in their boots! Datek is also being stone walled but apparently IB has more balls and is pushing much harder. Good for them. I wish IB all the best and can´t wait to see those incompetent idiots react to a 85% plus drop in their commission...

    The 200 day moving average

    Breaking the 200 day avg is no easy task. Take a look at the Nasdaq when it shimmied up and down the avg last summer only to settle below it later on. Also look at the SOX as it first approached the 200 avg from below a few months ago. Usually several attempts and a range nearby are the...

    RealMoney Columnists--Infomercial???

    I also got the ads from Jay. I wrote him in the hopes that he would mention the attempt of the insiders to limit option trading in RM.com and back came an advertisement for his buisiness. :confused: :confused:

    RealMoney Columnists--Infomercial???

    Sadly, RM is simply not what it used to be. Without Todd Harrison and the irreplaceable gem that goes by the name of Doug Kass from Seabreeze Partners. Kass was there for a short time but totally won my admiration to the same level as Toddo. Who will forget his short calls on Harley Davidson...
