    GAP Info

    One last thing to add to this. I know that Realtick has had a lot of reliability issues lately, but I still would not trade without it due to the built in scans which I find to be the best around and generally not available anywhere else. Its well worth the cost IMHO, and you would find the gap...

    GAP Info

    IBD has some on the front page of their site. Not always gaps, but stocks leading up or down on heavy volume, most of which tend to have gapped. Brandon

    95% of traders fail???

    I would guess its the same with real, actual businessmen. The ones that come up with a plan and actually know why they are going to succeed in any given business they start. Most of them will not fail either, but the majority of those who start one do fail. Brandon

    Playing the Saddam Gap

    Saddam is probably going to say he moved all the WMD to Syria, so next we will have to fight there. Also, havent they been saying for the last few months that al-Duri is running the show, not Saddam? And a lot of the most recent action has seemed to be outside the hotspot "sunni triangle" and in...

    What is driving ACH?

    I was it from 51.40. The company has basically a monopoly on aluminium in China, which if your gonna have a monopoly wouldnt be a bad place to do it. I ended up getting out on the 10th when it fell sharply on heavy volume, but I suspect it'll keep going higher over all.

    Rush returns Monday

    I am a republican, I generally agree with what Rush says...howerver...No one will become addicted to MS Contin, Oxycontin etc with LEGITIMATE TREATMENT FOR PAIN. Whether it is Rush who was at fault or the doctors (its probably a bit of both) is probably what they are trying to find out with all...

    What are your Trading Breakthroughs?

    When I realized I did not always have to know what was going on, and that it was ok not too. That helped me a lot because I used to be upset if I sat there and had no clue, but the truth is, 90% of the time I really don't know whats "going to happen" (if I did I would have a trade on), and thats...

    The Economy Makes Drudgereport

    I have not ever been big on consipercy theories, but here is what I have thought for a long time. I started to aggressively get long for position trades between March and May. Im just starting to sell most because I think there is going to be an intermediate term correction here..but here was my...

    Breakout Confirmation

    I always find that its better to have more than one reason to enter a trade. Trades enter "only" because of a breakout are much less successful than others. If you have it breaking out and also having that breakout setup something else your odds are much better, probably 70% + are going to be...

    New Bullets(married Puts)

    From what I understood talking to a guy who runs a company that does (did) conversions for major firms the wording in the SEC order nixxed conversions as well as bullets. I might be wrong, but that is how I understood it and I know they stopped offering them. Brandon

    I went to Gambler's Anonymous

    TWENTY QUESTIONS 1. Were you ever late or skipped work or school due to trading? Yep. When I started making money I stopped going to class. Eventually they told me I was no longer welcome there. 2. Has trading ever made your home life unhappy? Certainly. I was starting off without much and...

    Will we see an exodus of traders into Futures ?

    I dont really think that shows a mass exodus of traders from equities to futures, it simply shows that this is a good product which is catching on.

    Iraqi's desecrate troops bodies

    This is probably a technicallity, but if they are out past curfew they would not be law abiding.

    Will we see an exodus of traders into Futures ?

    I think that most firms are already finding alternatives, but I could be wrong. There is a nice lesson here...one that market/regulators give often but seems not to be learned much: Don't base your livelyhood on a loophole, it will always get closed. Brandon
