Matcha: Win rate is only one measurement. It is not enough. You may have a win rate of 80%. But if you win small and lose big... what we call "eat like a bird and pupu (keeping this G-rated) like an elephant", you won't make it. In trading there are 4 quadrants - the outcome of each...

Hmmmm.... it doesn't sound right, what you said. Are we looking at the same thing? On TradeStation, the ticker symbol is "$TRIN" (The NYSE ARMS index), and "$TICK" (number of advancing issues compared to declining issues). $TRIN... the neutral is 1.0. Bullish is below 1.0 (e.g. 0.5 to...

Ha! LOL! :D :D :D Of course there is anything the canned "shark fin" soup for USD $5 a can. Flavorful soup with corn starch and mung bean threads... LOL

Quote from crgarcia: Succesful people don't run a business from their own home. They rent or at least share some office space. Right. They dress themselves in suits/ties, breakfast with WSJ, fight the 2-hour ride/drive to/from the office... where thousands of traders get to work... so...

I know crgarcia can't sleep at night unless he posts a new thread bashing day trading every two weeks or so. And the hijacker guy Asiaprop challenging every day trader to a duel. And the illogical "Day Trading is a pipedream (blah blah blah)" guy990opl. Now you too??? Generalized...

Per Se... The French Laundry... hmmm... Need to wait until you get those $500 days. :p TFL: waiting list is probably 3 months long? Maybe it is not too bad in this bad economy. I would settle with some Abalone and Shark Fin soup at Koi Palace, Daly City any time! Or Sun Tung Lok...

Grasshopper: Did you keep monitoring $TRIN today? Early on it was as low as 0.2!!!! Then 0.3... Then went to 0.5 or so. Remember what I said: a day like this: NO SHORT TRADE A good approach would be waiting for the market to pull back. On the lower time-frame (e.g. 100 tick or so)...

Thanks PO. You and Matcha are buttering me up! :) I am not a pro. ~~~ is a pro. I am just a small potato making a living trading stocks. I don't work on Wall Street. No suit/tie. No cold calls. No desk or inbox. No commute (yay!)

I think Apple was making a terrible mistake. They are committing a similar mishap as Intel did with their flaw in the Pentium chip in 1994. Hardliner denial. Arrogance. First, said the users are holding the device wrong. Then, said it was a software "display" issue. The user shouldn't...

Use a black plastic tape to tape the left side of the phone and you will be fine. Very fashionable! jk :p

Hmmm.... yum... octopus, Paella... Boli San likes Tako Sushi. Paella... Sangria... Roasted Peppers Tapas... Oops! I thought I was in a food forum. La vida es bella... Si... y Tiempo no importa...

Yes. He posts his trade "real time". But he "trades" only about once every year. So you need to keep tuning in for his "calls".

Are we talking about the lack of traders in trading the markets? Or the lack of participants posting in this forum? They are not necessarily linearly proportional to each other. With the reduced traffic in this forum, partially it could be due to online attention competitions: many more...

Not sure if that question was directed to me or Matcha. As for me, I have over 20 monitors. But it's just me. I have a tendency to go overboard. After 20 years of working as an IT guy. My setup: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=2727114#post2727114

Hola, ¿qué pasa! Excelente!!! :D Matcha please make lots of money then you can sponsor me to see the World Cup final in 4 years! :D

If your strategy is truly profitable, why wait for $30000 to start? Many futures firms let you trade index futures with only a few thousand dollars margin.

HWM was where he started the year with $410K. Lost $100K in second week, one day, from BIDU option.

Is this a desktop or laptop? You got to know what graphics card you have. If it is a desktop, shutdown the PC and open up the chassis. Unplug the graphics card. The make and model info are usually presented in some small print stickers (or some are etched onto the circuit board). Once...

There comes a time that you should consider: Your computer may be infected by virus or affected by the many applications that you installed (and their auto updates), and the many websites you have visited. Is it worth your time to trying to pin point the cause? You may be going down a...

Okay Grasshopper. Here is my tip of the day. Here is your "wax on wax off" practice on multiple time-frames. It is quite easy with TradeStation's charts. First: Do you use Google maps online? Are you good at reading maps in different magnification levels? Pick a city. "San Francisco...
