to buy or sell that is the question, you may find this helps your thinking. No free lunches as they say.

My point was that if your position is wrong then even a well placed stop can be hazardous to your account. The panic spikes are what blow out alot of traders. I am talking mainly about futures which are margined. Buy 1 was saying that a 30 point stop on a swing trade makes sense. This makes...

google is fun, usually .20 spread so 4 ticks in your direction is $1.00. This is a high volatility stock and you have to be careful about your stops. This is a good stock to scalp though.

es chart, there is a reason buy and hold will do better than a trader with prudent stops. Look at the drawdown required to endure the downward spikes earlier in the year if you were long. If you bought es on Jan 2, 2008 at 1487 you would have been 227 es points under water worst case. I would...

Good entry. Thinking along similar lines, I think we had a little extra downside volatility due to the holiday.:)

The answer is yes, you need to make a bet with the odds 10 to 1 for this to happen and not lose, easier said than done. That's only a few lucky rolls at the roulette table and you don't have to wait as long. Most people aren't willing to lose $100,000 to make $100,000, whether trading or...

For sub $1,000 you can get a functional laptop. Get dual core processors (intel chip is more expensive). Hard to say what is best under $800. Hp, toshiba, Dell are are ok. Not really an expert here. I do like a larger screen, most of the time the computer is on your lap or desk so larger screen...

Have one dirt cheap and functional fine for surfing, basic tasks. I would get the 17 inch screen. It helps.

Pathetic rally so far was expecting a rebound to at least 140.00 on the spy, starting to move finally. To add to the discussion, for me there are only good and bad entries.

I think the fed is sending the message no more free lunches, unless some french guy needs to unload a few billion in a quiet market. The question (a hard one) is when to intervene or not. I was not around for the first crash 87' but talked to some people involved, systemic risk is a very real...

That's kinda mean making us use word, word takes about an hour to load up, never could figure that out. hit alt+print to save the screen, save to paintbrush program, this is easier you can add text etc.;risk free is old school. :)...

I think the PPT needs to start handing out free gas cards instead of bailing out the banks.
