    Ever wonder why they never made a movie about Jesse Livermore?

    I sure would like to see a model T chasing another model T. :) Livermore's rivals were spying on him, sending assistants to stake out on Livermore's assistants seeing what he was up to. ;)

    Ever wonder why they never made a movie about Jesse Livermore?

    On the other hand, they made a few movies on artists whom I have never heard of until the movie: Basquiat Pollock Frida The list goes on. The world of financials are too uninteresting, perhaps.

    Ever wonder why they never made a movie about Jesse Livermore?

    Real life drama is not dramatic enough. Good only for A&E or something. No movie on Buffett, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs either. The story needs to sell. They need to have sex, they need to have love, they need to have conflicts, they need to have fights, they need to have conspiracies...

    How do you handle someone asking you about trading stocks, etc?

    If you quote some of Alan Greenspan's economic outlook speeches, you will for sure lose them very quickly.

    Matcha's Dow E-mini Journal

    Here is another Boli's one tip a day for you. Oh... this is my second one. Making up for AWOL. Glad this one is timely. Note: yesterday Dow had a big, bullish run. +300 for the day. Very bullish in any measure. So today I would expect it (normally) would be in range. My typical...

    Matcha's Dow E-mini Journal

    You should. Have both $TRIN and $TICK. They are cousins. Related. Sort of. Though $TRIN is not as good as it used to be from my observations. When $TRIN < 0.7 persistently, especially lower than 0.5... only do long trades. When $TRIN > 2.0 persistenly... only do short trades. If...

    What happened there in early May? Did you "crash" too on May 6, 2010 - the flash crash day?

    TSLA hype stock.

    Was anybody able to short TSLA for real? It is an IPO with a small float. Please tell me what brokerage firm you use and I would like to set up an account there.

    Sorry for being AWOL. Good being missed. This sifu has some issues of his own. I am an old man la! You have 2 big sisters NoDoji and ~~~ watching over you. You are safe Grasshopper! Be confident to fight your way through the wooden dummy alley. :) I think you are going to be...

    Matcha: If I may say so, I think you have overtraded today. There really shouldn't be any short trades. Analysis: - The market had a big move up yesterday... but was sent back down in second half. - Today the market gapped up and moved up strongly in the morning, negating yesterday's...

    Here comes the 12 monitor video card

    This gadget is $1800. Price higher than most high-end PCs itself. It depends on what one needs. Perhaps the display can be split over 2 computers.

    Input on New Network with DSL

    Not sure. Need to refer to the user manual. What make/model do you have? Is it indeed a RJ45 but not RJ11? RJ11 is narrower. Phone cords use RJ11. That's where the DSL hook up should go. Not sure what you were asking. The DSL service provider divides their throughput into some...

    TSLA hype stock.

    Or that those who had bought at 29+ calling their brokers, asking them why they recommended TSLA. Standard answer: You are in for the LONG HAUL. Of course.

    If you had put Jack on ignore, how would you know Jack had quoted himself?

    any edge in timeframe?

    Oh wow... I didn't know you wanted an accelerated course in trading university. My opinion: until you put money on the line, any technique is just a fantasy. Happy sim'ing.

    any edge in timeframe?

    IMO: If you day trade, 5-min and 15-min would be good to identify the trend/range and good support/resistance zones. And 1-min and tick charts would be good to see the details of the runs/chops - good for timing your entries. It is better to view the same price series in different...

    Simple. Don't trade on margin.

    New trader. Is my strategy ridiculous?

    RE: Another Cold, C-Kid, etc thread? Yep! Sure smells like one. I agree with you. A technology professional, working 20+ years in the field, can hardly get $100k/year in today's environment. A 26-year old making $250k/year - if this "making" means salary... I will be hard-pressed to...
