    Remove this virus from your computer

    http://vil.mcafee.com/dispVirus.asp?virus_k=99209 This is a nasty sucker. I've removed it a few times and had to download quite a few patches to stop it. What makes it hard to remove is you must apply patchs and close any network shares (which it creates) prior to cleaning or reinfection...

    Life Beyond Trading

    I live across the street from the beach here in Solana Beach. When I'm not trading I'm surfing in the waves. A picture of my front yard (my playground) is enclosed. I spend all my time either trading, surfing, at the gym, or if the weekend rolls around at a dance club. Enjoy...

    September Trading Journals

    Echo's traders recieved an email premarket that ALL firms that provide bullets aren't being allowed to use them. I've become quite used to them so quickly had to change strategies. It's just too hard to short with that uptick rule in comparision. I've played with bullets quite a few...

    Questions about Echotrade

    restrictions on Nasdaq are gone. You can set up a watchlist and click on anything in the watchlist which will put the trade into a trade monitor. You can set the trade execution to default to any # of shares and your order route you prefer. So it sounds like the same (I...

    on tattoos actually no I'm not kidding. They are on both of my shoulders. There is a bear on my left shoulder and a bull on my right. They are high up so unless you would see me without a shirt (meaning I'm surfing, messing around with a female, jogging, or hitting the bag, ) than you...

    Best Day Trading Stocks

    ok to address both of these post. I will be right 80% of the time making 1R wins and 1R losses. The question is what is 1 R. Sorry I am very use to using that phrase due to my father Dr. Van K. Tharp coining it and hearing it used by so many traders. R is just a shorten way of...

    Venting and so forth. I've read a lot in the last few days. Personally I hate to see everyone fight over so many things. I'll offer one of my daily routines of venting. The gym. There is a 80 lb punching bag there. I visit it daily before my workout and project all my emotions on...

    I should add one more part to trading INTC. Don't trade it the first 2 hrs or last hr as that is when all the movement takes place. Let a channel form. It should determine a high and a low and trade back and forth all day. Have a buy order sitting just above the low and a sell just...

    **Patriots First...Traders Second**

    If there are enough shorts, and sell orders from longs before the open. The Market Makers/specialist will be the guys having to take the other side. They will gap everything sooo low that they are happy to take the other side meaning we will go down for a short while but soon the gap will...

    **Patriots First...Traders Second**

    Cheaper prices mean bigger bargins. I'm going to be doing bullets and shorting when we open but I will also be covering probably within the first hr or 2. Meaning whatever I did is also reversed. I will then be sitting on my hands rubbing them together gleefully wait as the dust...

    **Patriots First...Traders Second**

    The market will react negatively when we open. Gold and Oil should also be bucking the trend if you want to go long. THe market's are only energy and a reflection of that energy. Someone who resists the energy of the market loses and those that follow gain that's all it is with #'s. We will...

    Actually if you want to trade INTC go ahead but don't sell breakdowns and buy breakouts. It trades in a very tight range all day. Figure out the channel and sell when it is near the high and buy near the low with a small profit target /small loss. You will be right about 80% of the time...
