When i was in the first grade we had a blizzard one morning and my mom made me go out to scoop the snow. Pretty soon the bus showed up so i ran to catch it. I showed up in school in my PJs and people still remember it to this day like 20 odd years later. It could have ruined my life, but I...

I think you need balance, but I often find my non trader friends look at me like I'm an alien when I talk about what I do...of course I find that with other traders too ;) Brandon

Volatility reverts to its mean, everything does on Wall Street. Volatility levels are still historically high, they are working their way back to the average. Brandon

I have 18 guys on my AOL instant messanger who are at hedge funds and banks in NY. Only 5 of them where around today. The volume was low because of the holiday. Nothing more, nothing less. B

Ive been short since 1030s. Beans are also getting pricey and farmers are gonna start feeding corn to the livestock instead. It is a classic 2b short for sure. Should see 950 easily and probably 900. In a year they will be back to 650. Brandon

I been scammed! Bamboozaled! and taken advantage of! All by that wrotten muthafekin Brandon Fredrickson. Last nite he shorted the NQ in the aftermarket at 84.5. It opened up at 91 this morning. I was so scared I wet myself and now my favorite chair is skanky!!!

To be in the top 2% you have to make about 325K a year.

I don't always agree with you, but in this case I think you are 100% spot on.

You would be totally wrong. Most of them are white. The blacks and hispanics tend to take non combat jobs that translate to real life skills. White kids join the Infantry, Armour and Artillary and are represented at a much higher % then in the general population.

I can speak from both sides of the coin having grown up dirt poor and now being in the top 2% as far as income and networth goes. If you bust your ass youll do it, and if you bust your ass someone will see that and you will get the contacts. "I dont know anyone so I cant move up in life" is an...

ANy trader who has the money to buy 100 on this type of news probably didnt get the money trading.

Agreed. I think that anyone who would want war is a bit off their rocker, but the Peace at All Costs crowd are a bunch of nutters too. If someone walks up to you and punches you in the face you may choose to walk away or fight back. Buf if they get you on the ground and they proceed to keep...

Who gives a shit. Had they not started a war in the first place that would not have happened to them.

I have a program where I will train people for a cut of any profits they make that exceed $100,000. I will also verify my results to any QEP who is interested in investing with me. I enjoy the teaching and it helps me to trade, though this is my last year doing it in a chatroom, Im sure i will...

Who knows, but the volume has been very high on down days and very low on up days. Kinda wieghts things down.

I doubt anyone has too much long term success with a black box. Its better to have the stats in mind when you enter a trade IMHO. If your just even on them though and consider yourself lucky to be that I would think you should focus on something other than gaps and just forget about them...

The raw numbers have changed as far as the percentages go and I have stopped updating them simply because I don't think that its worthwhile since things change so much. The basic concept holds as true as ever. Large gaps dont fill, small gaps do, double gaps, triple gaps etc. I just watch them...

Gaps can be extremely profitable if you know how to trade them. If you dont and you try your profits will go to someone else. I have hundreds of posts on ET about gaps. Here are a few threads. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=8127...

So sit on your ass and dont do anything till the market starts to make sense to you again. Being a trader is as much about knowing when not to trade as it is about trading. Brandon
