    To be a great trader you must think like a "pro dealer."

    He already started one, with his virtual account. But it played out just like this thread.

    Stop Using Stop Losses

    I disagree. I profit because I deploy a piece of public info (elliot wave analysis) in a way (obsessed with risk management) that most human beings are not willing to. Retail winners are outliers, for sure, but so are any business startups that survive.

    Catching Tails

    FAZ is now temporarily off the radar. There is still a possible higher order third wave setup on the daily chart, but not the hourly. Now the real question is - will the general market keep going up or is it just tracing out a bear flag? I guess it all depends on the Central...

    Stop Using Stop Losses

    I see your point - if the Gov is tilting the tables then it is not honorable. Point taken. Do you see mine? Level playing field, successful trading w/o govt bailout or inside info, hft bid bluffing, etc - definitely honorable.

    BWS & RPRX putting in bull flags. These three examples came from the top gainers list, somewhere along the line.

    Catching Tails

    Here's BBY after the day's action. One thing long options taught me was to take profits like a ninja. Stocks give you a little more warning, but cashing out on a spike is not very scientific. How do you define a spike, mathematically? I still don't know. I just get this tingling...

    Stop Using Stop Losses

    Just like how Wal Mart is taking business from lesser retailers? Just like how German luxury cars keep taking sales from American brands? Is it wrong for Toyota to take business from GM's full size truck line? We're in business and The Market pays us for adding efficiency through...

    Sold BBY @ 23.33. There's probably a little chunk of this day-tail left but I got my lunch money out of it. :) It took a while to light off so I'm not taking any chances.

    The Problem with Equities

    Since The Market pays successful speculators for helping it move toward the optimum price level, and stocks appear (from a liquidity standpoint) to be inferior to futures from a suitability standpoint for this type of activity, do you think they are a less efficient or more efficient market...

    Catching Tails

    Here was BWS exploding through resistance on Friday while I was perplexed by FAZ. This was one of my top gainers / daytrade examples from a few pages back. It counts out as a C wave breakout, which itself is a third wave. This will be on my short list of candidates for Monday.

    Yet Another Prop Firm Hiring

    It's good to surround yourself with others who share your drive, desire, and purpose. Solitary trading gets lonely. You also develop much faster when surrounded by others who are successful in different ways.

    90% winrate

    I've just never seen someone talk so big about their results, put up a public demonstration that appeared to be working, and then crumble under the pressure of an audience. I did glean from his demo that he likes to fade the bottom of a bull flag or the top of a bear flag on the anticipated...

    Catching Tails

    What ever happened to RPRX? Two days after selling AAPL while waiting for funds to settle, it lit up like a roman candle. 17% profit potential at roughly 5R was there for anyone with eyes to see.
