That's an easy one. It reminds me of the third grade question, "two trains going in the same direction, one going faster than the other, etc. Don posts on average 7+ posts per day, Chas posts 16+ per day. Each has a # of posts. When will Chas overtake Don? In the trains question...

Profitseer this is an excellent topic. And easyrider qualified it perfectly. Too many times, lol, too too many times I find myself looking back and saying, "you were supposed to be short there, or long there...but nooooo you knew better didn't you bonehead?" Or how about when you...

Although not addressed to me I'd like to comment - The idea of a price being stretched from the norm is a good one. Even in an Oliver Velez book from Pristine.com he comments on a price that "seems" to be extended beyond the 20 sma. Another contributor several weeks ago was looking for a...

I thank you profitseer for giving credit where credit is due. And thank you for your provocative post sunnyskies. You really are a solutions-oriented person. Your posts generate so much creative thinking. Keep up the good work and again..... thank you...

You are a master. How in the world did you do that? Here I am thinking, "cool, I could use this" and then whoa. Very good 777.

Hey Carol, my wife was born in 1961 too. But she is 40. How have you managed to only be 27? Do I win the prize? :D

Whole-hearted agreement to that one. GE does everything you need to learn. And it is the only stock on the spec's post, so you will get to know his nuances. Nice one Nitro.

Surfer there you go...always showin' me up. I build a new house, you buy a mansion. I get my wife a nice card, you have a kid. I draw a ___ , you trade the oo ! I feel so inadequate. The closest thing I have going to managing a hedge fund is keeping track of the landscaping costs around my...

No answers to why a synthetic short is superior to shorting the stock. I'm bummed. :(

I recognize your stocks as being all the usual suspects for prop firm traders. Especially C, AIG, and VZ. What kind of trading are you doing? Are you in there for a few cents x 1mm shares, or trying to pick up a trend? Man, seeing you quote those stocks makes me realize how much volume...

No beginner should trade for income! Define your goals first. What do you want from trading? Go to stockcharts.com and read thru the education section. Learn the basics of charts, moving averages, stochastics, macd, RSI, and volume. Understand what candles tell you vs. bar charts. Look...

I think always in works better, if it is going to work, with trend following indicators. The moving averages and the MACD are two such tools that are applicable to an always in strategy.

What else did you expect from a couple of savvy traders! Marketsurfer admonished me today not to give away all the secrets. Have we said too much? Have we given away the goose that lays the golden eggs? Surely this will be the end of profitability as we know it. I wonder what happens if...

Druck I think you can find some answers if you use the search link. It seems there have been some recent comments about the Lynx. Good luck.

Runningbear I would read that code in Tradestation speak as "if the close is greater than the close of 1 bar ago then sell, else buy. " Am I missing a concept here, because that doesn't make sense to me.

Avaturk, please tell me why selling a call and buying a put is superior to shorting the stock. I recently inquired about this myself. I received another reply on another site extolling the vitues of the short vs. the synthetic you suggest. Please explain. Thanks.

Smurf can stay forever, I love the snapple facts. You wouldn't believe how many eyebrows raised and heads nodded when I passed along the "animals that lay eggs don't have belly buttons" snapple fact. Hey, I just thought of a reason to kick me off, "people who change the topic of the thread."...

You digressed just a bit aphie when you said there is no winning an argument with a woman... ! The qualification you put on the woman about a sexual relationship is the key there, as you said just previous. Speaking in the past, if a woman I wanted to have sex with said that the moon was...

I doubt that anyone will tell you a method that has been developed over much blood, sweat, and tears. Try going to Coca Cola and ask them for their recipe. And I guarantee that p2's method is another variation of gap trading. Exactly how and when he places his trades came to him after looking...

Moving average "always in" methods provide plenty of whipsaws. But the longer the time frame, the less significant those whipsaws are. Additionally, moving average "always in" methods tie up your money when the move occurs fairly quickly and then consolidates, ie., moves sideways, while the...
