    Trading Gaps and Breakouts (Stocks)

    I had thought that there definatly would be, but I did not find that to be the case. There is much more of a relationship there with breakouts working vs not working. Brandon

    Trading Gaps and Breakouts (Stocks)

    I could, but I'm not likely to do so. I'm willing to share most of what I do whether you pay me for it or not. Some things are not for free though, others are not for sale at all. What I would be happy to do is help you with your own coding as it relates to the info found on this thread and my...

    Trading Gaps and Breakouts (Stocks)

    Someone commented to me that friday was a special day and showing a long trade taken on friday does not show the validity of said methodology, blah blah blah. Also that I was reckless in buying such and overbought stock in an overbought market yadda yadda ding dong. So I will do this one...

    Attatched is a chart of Analog Devices (ADI) from Feb, 14 (Friday) showing a trade I took and the alert as it was presented. The difference between Thursdays close and Friday's open was +$0.97. This is a rather large gap. One thing that is important to always have in mind when dealing with...

    Where will this down leg bottom?

    It'll bottom when it does. Too much time is wasted wondering what the market will do. Just think of what you will do. If it does X I will do Y etc. It's a lot more effective and effecient. Brandon

    What Was the Bullmarket Like?

    I remember in 1999 the day after Thanksgiving all the China related Inet stocks were the range. One of them was up nearly 1000% in the day. People were getting killed trying to short it. It was trading with a 5 point spread as it topped. I didnt trade it, just watched, and cant for the life of...

When Instinet bought out ProTrader a few years ago they did not want anything to do with the prop side, they just wanted the retail accounts.
