I thought you didn't trade news stocks. CE was all over the news this morning regarding the merger deal with FDC. When you get a fill in CE, do you watch the tape in FDC? You know CE is being acquired by FDC in an all stock deal right? I had the stock on my list for quite a while too...

I was told by two different firms that you had to be sponsored for the 7 and 55, but you could take the series 63 on your own.

Oil service stocks like DO are generally a good group to trade, and they do move. If you don't believe me, spend some time with CAM, WFT, SII and the like, you'll change your mind. Watch the oil service index ($osx in esignal) when you're trading these guys, they're all very highly correlated...

I believe it's called "buy the rumor, sell the news"

What's a bullet?

I thought he stopped writing in his msn journal, where is it located now?

Hypothetical situation- if you paid no commissions, no interest and had unlimited leverage, BUT still had to cover losses out of your own pocket, what would you do? I'm pretty green on options, but there must be some way to hedge out almost all the risk, and say, collect income from equities...

Prarie boy here. I've been trading full time for two years and before that off and on as a hobby since '94 while I worked as a firefighter/paramedic in Yellowknife.

When people stop asking "when is the madness going to end?" The market won't go down because everyone keeps trying to short it, then chasing it up to cover.

Apparently the linking of esignal to hammer over vpn is in beta test. But who knows how long before it's ready. Maybe if enough of us pressured someone to make it happen, it would. Double typing sucks.

How has that system been working for you lately? I've found that stocks generally run a lot less and you can have a .10 profit turn to a .15 loss in about 30 seconds. I never use stops in the market for openings, but I would think the slippage would be pretty big. 5 or 10 dozen Bright...

I think you are correct in not displaying your p/l during the day. It's true, thinking about the money will distract you from your real goal- good trading. Of the dozens of trading books I've read, one of the points that stands out the most from all of them is from Alexander Elder's "Trading...

There's a lot of traders out there who learned how to trade in the bear market and they are more comfortable going short than long. Just like the perpetual bulls got hit over the head non-stop for a few years, this new habit (bias) is hard to break. I speak from experience here.

Your health and family are the most important things, and you've got to take care of that first. You put together the best journal I've read on ET and I learned a lot from it. Thank you for that. If you ever feel like contributing again, I know you'll be warmly welcomed back. All the best

Check out the threads entitled "Don's Openings", there's six of them. Opening orders is a strategy that gets you long and short positions on the first print of the day based on fair value calculations.

Thanks, I didn't know there was still a vote to determine things. That explains it.

Yep, that's what I expected too. The companies had a release about two weeks before the thing actually closed saying they'd cleared the final regulatory hurdle and the merger would close soon. It started to trade down immediately, which is when I entered, looking for it to come in pretty fast...

While we await the teacher's return, has anyone been trading this system? I'm trying to take every signal and have logged 8 trades in about 3 weeks, but I didn't trade every day. There have been 5 wins and I'm up 12.5 points. I'd like to discuss with anyone else doing it and make sure I'm...

example- Pepsi pays a dividend of .64 a year. In qcharts you would put .64 / pep in the symbol field and you'd have a chart of the yield. I can't figure out how to do this in esignal, is it possible? I downloaded the 7.5 beta today and it doesn't look like you can put whole numbers into...
