dg2000, et al, MOVI will come down, as KKD, ROOM, TARO, SFCC, and many other bubble stocks have with ridiculously high valuations. One other stock I'm looking to short is SLVN trading at 89 P/E. Many peers in the education sector like APOL, CECO, COCO, TUTR, RLRN have fallen off their...

optimist, Sorry my suggestion doesn't meet your expectations. As an alternative, you might be want to try professional trading firms. I'm sure there are interested and qualified traders who will meet your criteria. Best, stockoptionist

optimist, You can try marketocracy.com. They ask participants to come up with virtual portfolios and rank their performance accordingly. Those who turn out to be the best are invited to serve as actual mutual fund managers. Many of the participants outform the markets as well as most of...

Hitman, You said: " First of all I would not recommend options trading, whether swing or intraday. If you are not very profitable with stocks, do not play with options. The increased leverage with the fact that you can not cut losses effectively with options unless hedged, can spell disasters...

38, PhD candidate in philosophy, writing my dissertation. I love doing philosophy as well as trading. I mostly swing trade during my spare time, primarily focusing on options due to a small account.

I remember I successfully daytraded 50 shares of QQQ once on ISLD using IB a few months ago. But that's the only time I tried; I have never traded QQQ odd lots since then. In fact, I have scaled out of daytrading into swing trading. Stockoptionist

Wet, Just a reminder here: Keep things simple at the beginning. Don't experiment with too many option strategies like butterflies, etc. just yet, since like myself you don't have that much capital to lose. Trading options is already one step more complicated than trading stocks, in...

Wet, I believe I am in the same situation as you are. I'm undercapitalized and will be doomed beginning September with the new SEC rule. I've started swing trading options a few months ago, and I've got some results, although I haven't been profitable yet. I have a few thoughts here...

I've used the following data feed: (1) eSignal. Pretty reliable, but their interface is not user-friendly. There are no pull-down menus for 1-min, 5-min, charts, etc. You've got to open new windows if you want to do that. It's such a hassle. (2) Windowsonwallstreet. Forget about their...

There are no hard-and-fast rules for determining that. Just as you said, I usually look at T&S. Sometimes, those large block traders will do head fakes but posting huge blocks at the bid as well as the ask prices so as to create confusion. Sometimes, they don't of course. And if they do and...

I have found that not all high volume breakouts are the same. Breakouts made largely by momentum traders are more likely to fail than ones with institutional participation. Does anyone know of any program that can scan the market real time for large block trades? Thanks in advance.

I agree that you don't need all these strategies covered in Farley's book to be successful. Nonetheless it's a good book overall, though his writing style is hard to follow--too digressive. On the other hand, Dave Landry's swing trading book is simpler, clearer and more focused in that respect...

Does anyone know of any websites that can chart put/call ratios of individual stocks as well as major market and sector indices? Thanks in advance.
