I'm looking to create a custom index. Basically a sector index of stocks that I choose. What would be the best or most accurate way to do that type of index from the standpoint of component weighting? No weighting: I could have each component in the index have equal value. Market Cap...

To paraphrase Robert Di Nero in Meet The Parents "I move Guy, can you trade me?" :D :D :D

Personally, my jaw dropped when I heard about the profit he made on that one! Regarding risk, whether it was the MRK/LLY or the PVN, what Bob had at stake in those was a small fraction of his capital, so even though he is a huge trader, he is very risk aware and most definitely not a wild...

Bright Trading was started in 1992 and Bob has been trading since the late 70's. So he's been through many cycles. Cash

If the govt is going to protect us from ourselves, why don't they go after something that will have more effect? Go after fast-food and junk-food companies. At least that will help save me money. If some guy blows the milk money with repeated online gambling, that doesn't affect me. If...

Yeah, but worth it. I know some VERY successful traders who uses "time in a trade" as a very significant factor in determining when to get out... often, not even using stop losses. If you're doing this with a spreadsheet, just write a macro that grabs the P&L amounts and throw them onto...

While we're at it, anyone know of a site tracking upcoming FDA rulings?

Let me get this right... 1. With The first tick after the open, you go with that tick. 2. If price crosses back over the open then you bail. 3. If price goes more than 2 points in your favor, then you use a 2 point trailing stop. 4. If by the close, you are still in the position, you cover...

Contact your rep at your firm. If you give them the order number of a particular order that took much longer than you thought, they should be able to track down it's route and contact the exchange/ecn where any delay occurred. But you definitely need to do this ASAP after the order is...

Lots of things could be going on and most are NOT associated with your firm. Delays associated with your firm: If you firm does buying power checks, that can introduce a certain amount of delay. And then there can be additional delay depending on the checks your firm's clearing firm's...

Not sure who's right, but the WRONG way to do it is to enter the trade, planning to dump the whole thing when your loss target is reached, but then only leg out a part of it. You're violating your trading plan and that is always the wrong way, unfortunately I see way too many traders doing...

It will inconvenience gamblers and just cost them a little more. What will happen is that they will hook up with an offshore payments company. You will pay that company with your US credit card (just like paypal) and seeing as how that company is not under the jursdication of the US, they...

Well, if you're going to do it, do it right: Post the following: Symbol What will trigger your entry Why you consider that entry a trigger What conditions must exist to get out And all that must be done before the trade is executed. It is EXTREMELY rare that anyone posts all that...

If the info is coming from an AMEX specialist, I'm sure it's designed to suck as much money as possible out of your trade! :( :eek: :mad:
