Many of these stocks were in well established up tends and showing stronger retaliative strength than the SP500. Trend & swing traders would have been long on some of these stocks. This is why I trade stocks and not just derivatives, it is much easier to stay involved in a trend when the...

"Every highly profitable trader I have ever met in my 40 years of market speculation has done it with a trading approach of their own design. I know of nobody who has made it by shadowing another trader’s maneuvers. Peter Brandt" This is one of the better performing CTA funds that trades...

Just in case.. Here is another alternative: it costs $5 and you can use it forever. It is very easy to use and computes the wash sales. http://www.investotek.com/

Making your change jar grow a few hundred bucks is good - but it hardly qualifies for an "expert advisor". Virtually everybody in the stock/options/futures/Forex markets will have big gains now and than - that part it easy, its the holding on and growing that is the hard part. Crossing the 7...

I like that you can take a picture of a check to deposit it at TDA in real-time, now that's cool.

If I was opening an account with $1k I would look for a broker with no monthly fees that offers a lot of commission free ETFs and trade very infrequently - the idea is to make $, not to trade. New traders are inclined to over trade which will eat up your $ in not time. Keep piling $ in and have...

I was not advocating use stops on the extended hours trading - just saying the down side on the ETH is locked down at 5% on the ES. I never use stops on the ETH. However, I always use stops on the regular session. The point was the days of the huge gap downs no longer exist on the stock indexes...

Keep in mind the curbs/circuit breakers prevent the overnight/weekend S&P500 from declining more than 5% from the last close. Unlike the old days, you don't have to worry about waking up to a 20%+ gap down. A stop loss should keep you out of harms way during the regular trading session which has...

Nobody will ever care about that. They care about your AUM and your risk-adjusted performance. True - they may also care about your draw downs and would consider any trader or fund with 8 years or less of a track record to have little to no experience in bear markets - a lot of bambi's in the...

Although I am not a big fan of the TWS platform in general I like their scale trader and chart trading with brackets. I use TWS primarily for routing orders & for a backup.

Here's a good article on the subject of getting bumped from fights - every traveler can benefit from knowing how this works. http://www.cnn.com/2011/11/04/travel/flight-bumping-tips/index.html

Interesting. Is that documented anywhere? http://nypost.com/2013/06/30/he-jumped-off-the-golden-gate-bridge-and-lived/

The film had good reviews - so I watched it and really liked it - I certainly see his point of view now and would not go long on this company.

The golden gate bridge is a magnet for suicides - thousands have jumped, few survive the impact - those that survive sustain massive injuries. In the bridge's history - only one jumper that survived returned to end their life on a second jump. Of the survivors, 19 of them have come forward and...

This hedge fund manger is down half a billion and added more size - seems like he is married to this losing trade and trying to talk it down with his film & political actions. There is blood in the water, and it's not from HLF. I will gladly take the other side of this trade if the 3T gets taken...

The ORB is one of the oldest setups used back in the day, now typically used by novice traders - a very crowded setup. You should expects a lot of slippage at the start of the day. Directional moves may occur only 10% of the time. Most days, 70% to 80%, prices exhibit rotation or choppy...

I use the Dow Jones sectors which I think is the most comprehensive, a listing of 160 industries/sectors updated in real-time. You can find the symbols $DJUSxx on Think or Swim and build a watch-list. TradeStation has the DJ industries/sectors watch-list you simply import. Or you can get can...

This is from last year - just in case it may help:

Killing himself ensures his surviving wife and 3 kids will be forever destroyed by his suicide - they will hate him for his F U message he made to them by leaping. Been dirt poor after being way up - it's not so bad, you can find cash on the streets at night walking around by parking garages...
