stop trading. sim trade smaller size. watch, write down what you see. repeat and wash on a daily basis. read, although there are tons of crappy books out there, there's also a wealth of great information, most now on the net. oh, and if it wasn't clear - STOP TRADING.

sforce, kandlekid - you're both right. mea culpa.

WRONG. 3 day trades in a 5 day period is allowed, no more, for equities. PERIOD.

i wouldn't be surprised if there were sub pennies on C. i've seen it on a fair number of other stocks, C fits the characteristics of those stocks..

my only complaint about them (other than when i'm in a trade and i want them out of the way!) is what steelers said, when there's prints crossing at a teeny price that i don't have access to, and can't put a bid/offer out to get above/below them.

sorry, i misread it as s V chost.

no virus. i have it on my (clean) system.

you do know that individuals with direct access trading can do hidden orders...

i got one last year (T3400) off of recos, i believe gnome being the major supporter. i just ordered another one to replace my backup machine.

obviously have a plan. but when others didn't have a plan, or was mentally unsure, etc. i had one bit of advice: GO FLAT / GET OUT / DON'T MAKE ANY TRADES. the market will be there next week. and in your case, unless you're prepared for large drawdowns (ie. turtles), giving back 20%...

if i have a bad day because of forcing things, putting on too much size, etc. i take the next day off. if i have several days which cumulatively add up to the stuff above, i take the next day off. i generally get those 2 days of head-clearing with the weekend, so i don't like taking monday...

i'm looking to perform screens in different time periods for RSI. every software tool has RSI 14; however, i'm looking to do some testing for other lengths of time, and have a screen for that. ie. RSI(2)>75 or RSI(7)<25 i have tradestation, but can't find it intuitively there (i might...

yup, it's pretty obvious it's NOT fraud. and by calling out someone legit without anything approaching proof, it just makes it that much harder when there is someone who IS crooked. EDIT: sorry i went off-track on my post, it just annoys me. the O.P. posted this about don's teaching...

you are a moron. if i send the IRS your post, will they give me back the taxes i've paid 9 of the past 10 years?

agree with boib. i got to read some more last night on the train home after a day off. the chapter on trading ranges had some incredible gems that would have been helpful years ago. the only problems are: 1) i don't know if i'd have appreciated them until i had actually lost money and...

wow, it's sick to see so much wrongful venom spewed towards don. btw, although his old tradingmarkets program wasn't worth much, trading markets does have some good stuff (and some outstanding stuff) mixed in there. overall, TM is better than most of the pay sites out there. and, no, i've...

cup and handle breakout on the weekly and monthly charts. i'd been waiting for this for a couple years...finally got in yesterday. have stops in place, but i'll know pretty quickly if this breakout was false or not.

people ask, i say "i trade stocks for myself". sometimes, they ask if i trade with other people's money. sometimes, they ask if i work for a firm. no, just for myself. about half the time, they ask if i'm a daytrader, i say yes. most comments at that point are of a curious nature...

i lost money when i was stilll working a non-trading day job because of an OTC stock that i got married to. i have 10+ years, 1 was a loser; would be a winner with today's commissions. a couple of my early years weren't substantial enough profits.

absolutely, completely wrong. it is 4 day trades in ANY security. buy MSFT, sell MSFT. buy CSCO, sell CSCO buy DELL, sell DELL buy IBM, sell IBM. you're now a PDT.
