And the shorts also have a defined stop: the previous high. What's the difference? People have been taking the risk to buy dips this entire past year, yet there's always the chance the market will break right past your initial buy point -- then where do you set your stop? The mirror image in...

For the long term, the trend is always your friend. But even so, how do you swing traders keep profits within this long-term trend? Don't you need to "lighten up" as the market ramps higher, so that you can reload when it pulls back? So when you are selling out your long, shorts (smarter...

I've seen you state this a few times, but the only reason one would try to catch a top or bottom (at least for me, the only reason that makes it worth the risk) is to be able to hold through all the subsequent pullbacks and keeping one's position for a longer term trade, whereas those who try to...

We've gone over this again and again on these threads -- some ppl like to ride the trend (the middle of a move), others like to catch the turns, it's a matter of how good one is in timing and how comfortable one is with the size of the stop necessary to trade either way. I've seen and heard of...

pricing in a possibility of a rate cut this year??

Anyone catch the number for December?

Ya think??? :)

hated! :D

Anyone?

Somehow it's gotten into the public psyche that the intraday time frame = "professional" trading, as if, after being profitable in swing trading, they could "step up" to the next level with real-time ticks and .05 profit targets. You know what's wrong, you see the solution, take your own advice :)

Lately, just about every market is moving along the same gradient -- stocks, currencies, bonds, metals; I watch just about all of them but most of the time feel like it's all the same one trade.

Unfortunately that's probably going to be close to the best rate you'll get for 3 days. The cheapest indoor parking I've used in manhattan is at 62nd and West End Ave -- $7.25/any 12 hrs. You'd have to walk to subway a couple blocks away and then take 10 minute ride downtown. If you...

With the exception of family money as seed capital when starting out, I've never traded OPM, nor have I really given thought to it. But I'm curious to know if managing outside capital is really the ultimate goal of most if not all individual traders out there? Hypothetically, if one were to...

Barclay's (of Ishares fame) announced Friday that they applied for an ETF based on gold -- anyone know what's going with the first gold-based security (GLD i think) that was supposed to be out early this year?

Decent gap down -- you trading spot or futures pabst?

It would have been more bearish for euro had the statement actually specified (however vaguely) that certain regions were "out of line" or "disproportionate" in terms of their recent moves, yet the reference to "excess volatility" seems more a thin-blanket warning on future (read:expected)...

Great first post man, welcome to ET! :p :D :cool:

just curious, for those who went long ZN right after the report, how were your fills?

You'd think that the arbs would pull back a bit on these big news reports, but there were 100 YI available right after the employment report just a pinch above unchanged.
