Bos, you said it. I too am a very inexperienced trader, and often analyze too much, missing entries that way. First thing in the morning I have trouble putting on more than one trade because it's rather volatile, so I miss a lot of opportunities that way too. (But we all know the real reason...

Yes, it's a Roland VG-99 guitar modeler/synth connected to a Fender Strat. Can model just about any guitar/amp/room/mic arrangement/effect, etc. No neck strain at all, because the center of the top monitors is at eye level. I keep the the ET chat window to the right of the bottom screen...

And the keyboard is an original IBM Model M born on August 21, 1986 :cool:

Sorry, the comma got included in the link. This should work now.

This thread sure caught my attention. Diagnosed with cancer almost 4 years ago, I immediately began following a whole foods pure vegetarian diet (check out "Eat to Live" by Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Dr. John McDougall's books/ website - http://www.drmcdougall.com/free.html, and The China Study by Dr...

degu, do you find it difficult to track all those tiny charts?

+ $81 It was a serious ADD day for me today. GE on my long list and CELG hit my radar on open for a short, two superb trades from the open. Also DVA on my long list and it had a nice failure to make a new low around $45. Did I trade any of these? No, I was messing with… …my...

+ $81 I think I need Ritalin.

A suggestion: When your position is profitable before the earnings announcement, close half of it to lock in some of the profits, or all of it to avoid any risk.

I, ET's resident Mom, encourage some of you to please reference ET's "Spelling and Trading" thread, including my very important lesson on page 4: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=151472&perpage=6&pagenumber=1

Neke, in cases where it hangs there, you can often get a fill by pulling the order and sending it through a different exchange. But like you said, with very liquid options like POT, there's rarely enough of a spread to really worry about.

Win, you were rockin' this week! Let's make a deal: If I trade those ETFs and lose money, just reimburse me as a "thank you" for my playbook :D :D :D

OK I am on the floor, because that was my exact thought :p

Yes, you have to install something bcause the webinars have live chat going on, as I recall. There's about 20 minutes of his bio and self-promotion before he gets to the good stuff. I have no idea. I communicate with a lot of people on this site with questions and that's been really helpful...

Would that be considered "mastertrading"? :D

PiTrader, I occasionally consider trading AAPL options two directions in a given day. Haven't done it yet, but it's tempting because of the liquidity, tight spread and strong intraday movement and signals. Do you think it's better to buy and sell calls for long and short bias, or buy calls long...

Mizhael, I've never traded futures yet, but am considering doing so sometime this year, especially if I can find a mentor. My favorite books are Josh Lukeman's Market Maker's Edge (the first few chapters on risk management are priceless if you have the discipline to follow through), Oliver...

Mizhael, I occasionally day trade very liquid options on high priced stocks approaching major support or resistance levels. It's an especially strong strategy when the S/R level is approached rapidly based on news. The advantage is you can leverage far more shares than if you traded the stock...

Bob, I'm pleased to see you got that new Ritalin Rx finally filled :p

+ $108 Well, the CECO saga finally ends. I had shorted inadvertently, added to the position on a strong run, then failed to take profits twice, because I thought it would die further, only to have it run against me twice to hit major highs. I was close to “risk management” on this one...
