TVs are TVs. Why buy a PC to drive TVs? 37-inch screen with only 1920x1080 resolution you probably wouldn't want to view the screen close up.

E-Trade has set up shop in Hong Kong and let you trade the US stocks using the same tool that E-Trade-USA uses. In Hong Kong: no capital gain tax. But you must not be a US Citizen. Maybe find someone you can trust who lives in Hong Kong to open the account?

Kon do you have any comment on my comments about first hour of trading? (Page 4) In the first hour, play reversals. Especially the first 30 minutes. There are days (about only 10% to 20% of the time) that price would go straight up or straight down. You need to guard against that...

You are catching up with and very close to crgarcia.

I am not with you. Nor am I with the poster who doesn't trade the first hour. One wants to play tennis with only forehand, one want to play with only backhand. You let the physical "hour" dictate how you trade, not the actual market conditions. It is true that the market is *most of the...

Kon: 1) Ignore other people's comments on having too many indicators. I have 10 to 15 indicators overlaid on my charts at any given time. They don't care to see the indicators, that's okay. What's important is what works for you. 2) Gap: From my experience gaps are to be faded (I...

This may be a loaded question. It dpends on how you trade and what your computing requirements are. I will tell you what I use. I have 2 laptops: HP dv9730us, 17 inch screen. This one is no good. A lemon. Sent back for repair 3 times. Hard disk, CPU mother board, LCD screen issues...

Com'on. I know you are probably joking. I see a lot of people when they think investing in China, there is always "a billion plus" people market. Like... "a billion plus" people will buy a car at some point. Yeah, right. Like saying in the USA 300+ million people will buy stocks.

Chinese market goes on cycles, just like any other markets. Shanghai is still young. Historically... Hang Seng. If you go to Hong Kong, and see that "Shark fin mixed with rice" on the menu, and that you see a lot of house wives hanging around the banks, looking at the computer monitors or...

I just turned 50. Don't know if I qualify as your "scalper". Day trade I do, but far less than 500K shares/day. I want to keep doing this until I sit on a wheel chair. My eyes may be blurry and reaction slower. I will make up for it with many more years of experience. I will hire junior...

I think if your commission is 25% of every trade, your target objective aim is way too low even for a scalper. Either that or your trading capital is too low to try day trading. Or that you are paying really high on commissions.

LearningTrading: I think what you need is not "how the war is won" type of books, but rather "how to load, aim and fire your weapon" type of books. Someone who would illustrate what to trade, and how to trade it. At the risk of being labelled a Toni Turner shill (and whatever else), here...

I am also very interested to know how the indexing hold up in the past 2 weeks of market sell off. Maybe it is holding very well, which is required for a sound trading method, for both bull and bear market conditions.

Different strokes for different folks. This monkey is happy to live off the crumbs from daytrading. Minutes most of the times.

I have read the above 3 books. While good reading, those are IMO books about trading but not the ones to tell you the "how". What LearningTrading needs may be a drill sergeant to show how to acquire a target, how to aim, and when to pull the trigger. Reading in general "how a war is won" or...

Where is my Qwerty? I can't even pretend to type on a flat desk top. :)

Some real business... like those - buying some internet virtual stores and make money when you are sleeping? So you buy a McDonald's, or Burger King (with 100K?), for a 26 year old with limited work experience, what makes them any harder to fail than trading? To take on any meaningful...

I think you are painting an idealistic scenario for yourself. Things in life, and especially in trading, usually don't turn out that way. Being smart <not equal> successful in trading Working hard <not equal> successful in trading You start off with $100,000. That's decent. But have...

Why does a five-year old get into adult's business? Stick to starting your one-line clueless topics every now and then. You don't trade, remember? What do you know about shorting? Unlimited risk is for the academics. I have not yet seen a stock's price goes to infinity. (Except may be...

They called that "borrowing fee". I looked back at my statement for August 2008. For example, on 7/24/08, I was charged $27.00 so that I would be able to short X number of shares of GS that day (forgot the exact number, 2000 or 3000, something like that). The more short shares I wanted...
