so, although your intent was to go long, you would establish a short position from 15 and then cover? why not just sell the shares at 15?

this situation does not apply to me, but i'm still interested in it. what is meant by the above quote? say i wanted to go long DELL and it's trading around 15, but i was able to buy it at 5. nobody is complaining to me yet. now what?

i understand the concept of having a 2nd broker, but how much are you supposed to have in the 2nd account? the same amount as the first account? say you have 50k in positions with broker 1, but you can't log in to exit them, are you supposed to have 50k at broker 2 to hedge???

good post..interesting concept. i'd be happy to make 10% a month.

heh..like i said in another post, i'm currently sick with a cold. so, i have a lot of time on my hands lately. :) i wouldn't say i'm trying to outsmart the market, more like, trying to get the most odds in my favor.....if possible. but like i've said before, i'm just throwing out ideas..i'm...

i have to admit, i actually once had an ant farm too. 2 things come to mind: -i remember that you weren't supposed to just put any ants you could find in the farm. you ordered a special kind and they came in a tube via the mail. lol they must have had a fun trip. -one interesting thing i...

i dunno if i'd go THAT far..hehe

lmao lmao lmao maybe i'm the only one who will find that funny....but i'm just picturing someone watching ants..trying to understand them. lol

ok, i've thought about so much in the last few minutes, i'm even confusing myself lol...but i have a few more things i want to say. if you go back and take what daniel_m said: "If you keep your profit target and stop loss the same, then, yeah, a random buy/sell would have a 50/50 shot of...

the key word in my post was "unless."

this is why i love this web site.. even if i don't know what i'm talking about, this is all still fun to think about!

ok, if the above is true, say you don't keep your stop loss and target the same.. a stock is at 50, if you randomly buy instead of sell, and set your stop at 48, target at 60. you are now 5x more likely to get stopped out...this trade is now worse than 50/50. if you kept repeating this, you...

ok so.... in the previous example. a stock is trading at 50. your bet is that it goes to 60 before it goes to 48 (although it is 5x more likely to go to 48). so say you buy 500 shares at 50. if it goes to 48, you will sell at least 1000 so that now you are short 500+ shares? do you now cover...

this sounds right to me. i've always thought the stock market worked like this. correct me if i'm wrong.. say you're right 90% of the time, the 10% losses will be large enough to bring you back to even. if you're right 10% of the time, your 90% losses will be large enough to bring you...

say you've been around a while and you know you know more than the average guy with an etrade account. wouldn't you want to trade the market most traded by people who don't know what they're doing? i'd bet most inexperienced traders trade individual stocks like INTC, DELL, MSFT, etc (that's how...

someone answer this..because i'm interested..but i don't know the answer.
