Silk , Very nice job, what filters did you use to get ASW and DYN?

They are putting up a big christmas tree outside my office building, sure looks and smells nice!!! My favorite season of the year !! Hope I will make my first check by then so that I can get my girlfriend something nice :p Here's a food for thought, saw this ad in a subway today. " 20...

Mr.V didn't come in today. Mr.K lost $250, and last I looked the whole firm was only up $2000, so it wasn't a good day for a lot of people. But still... Mr. V 0-1 Mr.K 1-1 Stockk 1-1

80.07 ABK 11:30 Bought it at $55.55 , when IUX was ripping, sold it at $55.76, the stock gapped a little to 90c, before it goes back down to 50c. Went up again after that to $56.00 but closed at $55.40, not a bad trade, should have went back in again. -26.28 AES 11:17 Bought it when XNG...

On my daily blotter, I always asked Mr.T how I did the day before as compared to my group and the firm and you know what? From a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best. I scored a 1 when compared to my group and 2 when compared to the firm !!! How embarrassing??? :p. He said I missed 2 big...

-78.56 ALK Bought the airlines early in the morning, I was in the money for a while before the market turns and I ended up flat in all these stocks. went back in a couple of times and lose even more money. What a tough, choppy day. -25.43 AMR 13.09 APA Thought XNG was going to bounce...

**I have said many times that "systems trading approach" does not equal "100% mechanical". My system generates a signal and *I* have to execute on it. This is part of the discipline. I also have to apply MM techniques and be aware of the risk factors associated with every signal. ** This is...

Think about what all these have gotten us? 1. We are more aware the difference between discretionary and systematic approach. I still don't think that machine is going to beat the humans that create them, but then again this is my opinion. 2. We have learned that a lot of us are VERY...

Well, what a good debate, and here's my 2cents. Dottom, I don't think a good trader can rely on one and only one system to be successful. If you think that you can devise a system that can be fully automated to trade, then you are totally wrong. All you new traders out there have to...

Hapaboy, I will remember to do so Monday.

lol

Hitman, That's very light considering your size limit to be 3000 shares, but as you put it yourself, it is better to make $500 everyday and be consistent than to have big up and down days. Thanks for the warning, this is my second best day ever, and I know how I can carried away (MOC...

This might be a surprise to all, but I traded 9200 shares today! I usually traded much more, but my not having a big loser today saved me a lot of churning and that cut down on my size and gave me a cleaner day. Hitman, Maybe you could set a minimum bar for your winners, for example don't...

Mr.V 1 Stockk 3.

Mr.T was right, how did he know? 64 thousand question. I don't care anyways. This was perhaps the easiest trading days in a while, the market opened up a little, and right away I noticed strength in airlines, with Russia unwillingness to cut production by 1.5 million barrels per day is...

The market did rally and I made $1000 today, but I am going out to have a drink, will post details later on. But here are some tidbits.. 151.41 ALK 88.79 AMR 82.60 BK -49.72 CPN 87.00 DAL -49.36 DME 193.65 EOG 221.50 EPG -59.65 JHF 142.83 LSI...

1. Read the tape too damm much. Have to trust the sector, the futures and my own pick. DO NOT GET SUCK IN WITH ALL THE SPEC.'S TRICKS. 2. Too eager to place a trade when it is clear that the market was dead. While it is good to place trade when the sector is moving one way or another, it is...

Firehawk LOL

Dotcom, Magna, Over dramatization huh? :p Well maybe a little bit, didn't mean to scare you guys. It was just the feeling of losing control that was so disgusting. It was like a gambler who had lost $200, and went in and place bigger and bigger bets and lose more and more money! That is...
