No I was referring to that you have a picture of your trading room shown on one of the monitors, then you take another picture of your trading room to include it. Very thoughtful!

I like this PIP (Picture-In-Picture) feature!

I think cockroaches do better. :D

Agreed. I don't think it takes a math genius or programmer to succeed in trading. In fact it may be detrimental. Read the story on the Long Term Capital Management's meltdown in 1998. They hired a team of PhDs in math, and two of whom had received Nobel prizes, to work out some program...

I took the OTA 7-day "Pro Traders" class twice. I opted not to go with their XLT program. From what I had seen (through their "Hour With The Pro" weekly program): with their XLT mentorship program, yes they give you individual attention and go through individual mentoring with you (instead...

So you want to find something that opens on a Saturday to day trade?

I think he had mistyped the thread title. I think he meant "rogue trader".

I don't think that is the case. While you and I as individuals can purely go technical to trade and ignore all fundamentals and news, institutional fund managers can't go by technicals alone. Sure they look at charts and do some technical analysis. But they must have some sense on the...

Like... you can sum it up in one paragraph. There are just so many things. For one thing you must do some work yourself. Posting a single question and expect a doctorial dissertation reply is not very likely to happen. There are many posts in this very site, this very forum, for...

Why is Amazon.com considered a technology stock?

I agree. I don't like it either but not to the extent that I feel they are "hunting" me. There are way too many negativities on ET. Very uncivilized. Signal-to-noise ratio is way too low. What I do... only pick the topic with a meaningful discussion to read. (e.g. I skip all those...

I agree with that. That idea is funny. I have been trading for years. But I only found out about ET less than a year ago. On the other hand, someone had been on ET since 2002 might just mean he has been posting jibberish for years. LOL.

A meaningful move on a daily chart is found too often. Normal market noise/chop on a daily chart = some meaningful moves on an intraday chart (e.g. 5-min, 1-min). Normal market noise/chop on a 1-min chart = some meaningful micromoves on a 42 tick chart. In general: market noise/chop in...

This has been so hard for me. I have learned to cut losses very early. But dang... it's so hard to let profits run...

Don't cheat yourself. It is like betting on the horses after knowing which one has already won. If you want to practice, practice in real-time. Write down your bet, entry and exit as if you would trade. Then review the result and learn from your own moves. I trade the opening...

It is extremely unlikely that the terrorists will time to attack at the US market opening time, 9:30 am EST. If the attack happens in the middle of the night US time, the S&P futures would be sold off big right away. Most would sell their stocks in the pre-market hours way before the opening...

People in the P/L thread posted their results but not what they trade or how they trade. Serendipity's question was on "what stocks" we day trade. For the past 2 years I had only traded: GS, AAPL, SPY, RIMM, SKF (over 90% of my trades). Occassionaly I went in to trade GOOG, AMZN, XOM...

Hey: do you guys like to ask the same old question all over again every month? Did the time we spent on typing replies meant anything? http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=160507 Forums ›› Trading for a Living ›› Career Trader ›› Would you do it all over...

I was hoping to help you, but I think your posts really got me confused. On the very first post (intro), you said you like travelling. Then now you said you hate it. So do you like it, or do you hate it? And you are naive. You seem to have no idea what it means by "working on the floor"...

Just what are you thinking of doing "on the floor" exactly? Are you a trader?
