I don't use calculus in my strategy....and I think it's about as good as it gets for short term trading.

The problem with the "Long Run"....is that in the long run we're all dead.

Why limit yourself to just 1% per day. I have had days where I made 130% on my capital. Now that is a goal for professional traders! IMO, when you focus on your net per share, you soon realize that to make more money you need to trade more shares, and you begin to realize that your business...

The add today was a beautiful trade....reminiscent of PTJ.

I think most of us are just focused on making money. Where you take profits is largely based upon experience and research. I bet that most on here who do this professionally net out only a few cents per share, and that is on the high end. (Again this is for volume traders who do 100k shares a...

Where can I live on 60k? Will that get me a nice house, and not have to worry about kidnappings, cartel related murders, and high crime rates?

I thought about that...but...I just don't see spreads doing there normal mean reversion lately. In fact, they seem to be blowing out to new historic levels. I actually thought about going long AMD, short INTC, and now that I check it I should have. Instead, I got out, then shorted INTC...

I have used alot of larry's material in my trading. I have applied it to stocks and futures....and the bottom line is it has made me money. Same with Jake! As for regulatory run ins....it's a non issue for me. I think the government oversteps its role...and the situation with Larry was one...

So you think that two years of losing, not even a single year of positive P&L makes you qualified to pass out advice on what someone needs to do to become successful trading? To the original poster, I would suggest you decide what you are interested in learning to trade, then go from there...

Ripley...you are hardly in a position to be passing out "advice" on what someone needs or doesn't need to do to make it! I realize you mean well....but I don't think you should be giving advice with respect to trading.

Thought I'd post an update. I exited 1700 shares at a loss. I am going to trade the last 1000 over the course of the next few months. The market has been fairly strong and my guess is that I will be able to make at least 60% of my losses back over the next two months. Thanks for your...

Cost basis is yesterdays close.

Thanks for the response...we'll have to see tomorrow how things play out!

Hi, Because I am a complete dumbass, I didn't exit out of INTC at the close, I simply "forgot" about it and walked out of the office! :( Looking for ideas on what I can do to handle it. The obvious is to exit the position tomorrow, perhaps trade it some, though nasdaq is not my...

You make some good points...but they can increase the float on any property, by doing a split. These days they call them condo's! :) What does 550k get you in michigan ayways?

I use Kirby alarm....works nice...and I believe the price will fit into your budget!

Surfer....you have been round' long enough to know how difficult it is to pick tops and bottoms in the market. Everyone seems bullish on goog, and that in and of itself may be reason enough to short it....but goog could very well hit $800 before it turns around and heads south. One thing...

Ripley does have heart....coolweb, skalpz, coinz.....they're just full of alot of hot air. Long on Ego....short on execution!

Without a doubt.....myself.

Long terms, India will turn out to be a better investment than china. Would I buy it next week? Nope...but I would certainly look to park dollars there for long term, warren buffet type bets.
