I am very skeptical of all these studies as they are often used to prime the public prior to passing some new laws or polices.

While the textbook definition you provided is correct, the examples are outdated. Nasdaq stands for "National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations" but it is no longer a quote driven market. All US National exchanges are order driven now after Reg NMS.

I am curious why you call that a trend? Looks like you are entering in the direction of momentum.

Before automating, you need to be able to trade your strategy as though you were a computer ... exact rules for everything ... no gut feel. 1 month is nothing, btw.

How did you come up with such a specific way? Usually new people have no idea where to start.

Hi Ryan. It would be interesting to see a sample of a trading plan you expect to see. Obviously, you can't share something that is revealing strategy/set ups, but I would assume most candidates are TA based and thus somewhat vague as to what their strategy is (Something like - I enter when I...

Nah, I was trying to get cute with words. I understand everyone is different and it has to be genuine or not at all. I just have lots of respect for people who are "paying it forward" any way they can.

I understand what you are saying, but I am not sure what you are suggesting is called trading(as most of us here define it). What is your avg holding time?

Can't help you myself, but in case you haven't watched it, connect with this guy.

I have read somewhere that it is important to come up with the right metaphor for your trading. Some think of themselves as snipers, some as gardeners, etc. I will start the ball rolling ... I think of trading as fishing ... There's plenty of fish in the sea ... I try to catch enough to make...

This inspired me to create a new thread ... "Trading is like ..."

You know, this is a topic deserving its own thread. There are two types of motivation: "Towards to" and "Away from." Many people say they LOVE to trade. What does it mean exactly? Trading is a stressful and demanding JOB. Common view is - you love the activity so much, you would be doing it...
