    Swing/Position Trades

    QLGC might give it up all day today...worth watching of Kumar's comments in NY Times. Had held up the first half hour of trading but it probably bleeds off all day (week). 34.33 now. (trade what you see not what you think) though. ;-) QLGC QLogic is the subject of negative NY Times...

    POLL: Should all posts count?

    I vote that the Feedback section be stripped from the main page like Chit Chat so the forum threads in the regular view mode isn't clogged up with all these worthless polls.

    Can anyone recommend a pairs trading book ?

    Do google searches for research papers and working papers on the subject and you can turn up a few things although it's a bit dense (being academic research and all). In general though....Pairs need not be complicated, these people that want you to think it's rocket science...it isn't...

    Been watching the PREM and the Trin all day....Trin has steadly moved higher and has helped keep me short. The damn Prem like someone else mentioned hasn't done much of anything. It pretty much has a range today of -1.60 to 0. The buy sell programs are below....and couldn't have done...

    Hammer Charts.

    You guys that use the hammer are most of you using realtick for charts or q charts? My understanding is that they both sync up but qcharts seem to be about 1/3 the price of a realtick subscription. Pro's, cons? Hammer working on better charts themselves? Notice SDS must have had a...

    Single most important book for a trader

    Been mentioned in other threads not sure about this one but Zen and the Art of Poker is the book that I would recommend for traders. Page for page it's hard to beat as far as it's explanation of the proper mindset you have to have to trade or play poker. Worth a look...

    NYSE openbook traders

    What about the opposite? Couple of times today a size bidder shows up in open book that is better than the TXN NBBO bid. Then a few seconds later the size and quote in the open book becomes the high bid on the level II. I didn't think open book could lead the level II quote with regard to...

    Gold bottom in the next week

    that is pretty much my analysis as well however I was flipping through some weekly charts tonight instead of the dailys and some have really ripped more than I had appreciated. For example RGLD was around 3 bucks in 2001, 25 bucks today. GG also about 3 bucks then close to 12 today, etc...
