I was talking to this chick about Steenbarger's 'internal observer.' I told her about how we create a world that accomodates a bias or particular emotion. Just as you can mold market conditions and trade factors to support a poor idea, you can also generate reasons / fantasies to ignore red...

Thanks. Yeahhh, I'll probably be on the boat checking quotes on my Palm Pre to see what I'm missing lol. To substitute for the day off, I bought a 5 dollar lottery quick pick. Maybe THAT will hit! Thanks for reminding me the market is closed on the 4th lol

Yeah I've definitely been more focused on risk. Just haven't found my quality stuff in the last few days. Software stops me at -300. I consider 400+ a decent day, and I'll live with +300. So, at least 300. Though, every morning when I go in I have +500 on my mind. My mental max...

6/29/11 Gross: +98 Shares: 17,400 Net: +2 ---------------------- Sweet, 2 bucks, I think that can buy a Snickers bar... Today was one of those days, where if you're not feeling good by midday, you get so bored you just want to leave. But you CAN'T leave, because then you miss...

6/28/11 Gross: +195 Shares: 15,000 Net: +112 June: Gross: +1026.38 Shares: 198,790 Net: -67.25 -------------- Had a good morning. Got to +214 with only a few tickets. I immediately stepped back and told myself to wait for setups, hoping to produce a good day. Went...

Didn't go in today. ---------------------- Are there any stock traders out there interested in chatting about the markets / stocks / etc on skype a few times a week? We could give ourselves a cool name like "The Weapons of Mass Analysis." Name or not, I am down to host this bi to tri...

Well Friday night's party went well. Met a few new girls. Attached a pic of myself at the party. Look at that beastly analytical machine. A man and his cold Budweiser. When I told the girls that I was a trader, I was defensive about it. While I love trading, and I'm proud to be in the game, I...

Cambodia, he's in Cambodia

Let's see, where was I? Right, so clearly I missed my goal of trading less. I midday (before the refiners) I was only at like 7 or so tickets and up like 170 gross or something. Of course, you can't simply IGNORE the action. The refiner action was an absolute blessing for a Friday...

6/24/11 Gross: +135 Shares: 23,400 Net: +6.3 ---------------------------------- Sweet, made six bucks today. Maybe I'll buy a soda. Actually traded well this morning, for once. Reached +137 by 11:10. Gave all my gains away trading the refiners like an idiot. I found...

yeah they need to give her a show of her own

6/23/11 Gross: +222 Shares: 21,400 Net: +105 ---------------------------- Another one of those roller coaster type days. Failed in trading less. Attacked the oil weakness near the open, and got some quick money shorting BHI. Gave the morning gains back shorting HAL and other oil...

yeh u need to see her on TV she is fine, ill admit her pics aren't as good

watch related stocks to see when they begin bouncing, watch the level 2 for indications of a bottom or bounce. or, you could have just bought the break of the down trend, with a stop near the one you used

You guys have no imagination, or maybe, I'm the one with problems. I'd do things to her, and I'd make her talk about the Euro

haha yeah, I'm glad someone caught that

6/21/11 Gross: -156 Shares: 18,800 Net: -260 -------------------- Basically got raped all day long. Couldn't get anything to go my way. Anything that did work went a shitty distance. Couldn't find any quality setups. I mean, I got smacked by a large trout today. Had a terrible...

Assuming both methods are operating on the same time frame and on the same instrument... You enter a trade on method A. Properly backtested 60% chance of reaching your target. You have an asssumed 60% chance of reaching your target on this trade. You enter a trade on method B. Properly...

Amelia Bourdeau, that currency analyst on Fast Money, is fine. No question about it. What is the scoop on this broad?

Look at the chart man. Reading the COST chart 6/20/11 Morning pennant formation breaks to the upside thanks to market up trend. During market pullback within trend, COST consolidates near highs. This is BULLISH. You did a good job, you bought a slight dip in COST, a stock presenting a...
