I agree completely. My equity curve looks the same in every time frame. I have a good streak of 5 weeks or so of solid wins, then i start taking larger positions, my profits zoom up and i do amazing, then i start to trade poorly, and i have period of 2 weeks where i basically break even, but...

yeah, stay in school, use your 4k on a car or something. You're better off.

I have to agree with tharp. The nyse is a significantly more efficient and fair market. I with the nasdaq would get rid of all those idiots and go to a fair market system, especially for thier less liquid issues. There are lots of stocks out there that have nice moves, but are untradable, cause...

Thanx for the kind words guys. I used to play gaps a lot. Lately, however, I've noticed that not all gaps are created equal. They seem to run in cycles, and I'm always a step behind. sometimes, the first print is the low of the day, other times, it is near the high, and the stock just fades...

You don't know if you are right. THat's why I use stops. I have 5500 twp that I bought at around 13.2 avg today. Who knows if this is bottom, just a dumb guess on my part really. The point is that I'll have a stop tomorrow at 12.8 or probably a bit higher than that cause I'll know right away if...

market on close I blew about 6k on it today, just mainly getting scalped around for a dime at a time, but on 25-40k shares, it adds up, I did 1800 on commish too. Ugghh. I'm glad I made a lousy k for the day after commish and all the stupid pvn. THe no pvn rule is back in effect for me.

I think i'm decent, not good, definately not great, Im up almost 200% with a bit over 2 months to go. I hope to score 250-300 by the end of this year. I would think that if i can get close to that figure of 400%, a quality trader could definately do it. This is especially true of the fact that...

I would believe him, it's not that hard.

Tutneo, my account is acutally still not significant. After taxes, it will be quite small again unfortunately. I was planning to top my account out perminantly at about 50k more in my trading account. At which point I'll open a second account for longer term trades and sweep my monthly gains...

I'd love to stick around on fridays or whenever for an hour long "wrap up" just tell me when. By the by, are any females interested in turning the last hour of trading on friday into coed naked trading?? Just a thought?

I have to agree, those tradingmarkets guys are great. That's why I read it, every month I get a few tidbits, but nothing major ever. I think they hold back the final component of their trades a lot of the time. Then again, look at someone like gary b smith from the street.com. He doesn't mind...

Tony, I have seemed to have the best success in percentage terms on the under 5 dollar crowd. If pvn pops to 7 or so, I make 40% on the trade. That's only a 2 point move, and quite doable in my opinion as the stock feels very sold out. Look at gx recently as an example of a stock that went up...

Just use the yahoo one I guess. By the way, I'm gonna bring it up monday, but I wish there was a way for a few of the more experienced traders in that room to keep exact records of our trades and p/l and post it somewhere for people to go over at a later time if they want info on the room.

Look at my great new pattern thread. This is the pattern I play exclusively. Look at pvn as an example today. (Long PVN MOC).

cmnt looks fine. If I were you, just strap a moving average onto it, and you'd be fine. A 25 day ema is fine. IT's just overbought short term. VVI honestly looks like many stocks do now, and that means It looks like a great short. I have no idea what you were thinking there.

I would also like to invite every member of this forum to come and trade with us. It is a room primarily dedicated to trading the GNP, but we all post all types of trades. I personally post under the nick hkuppy, and post about 70% of my trades and about 95% of my volume in real time in that...

HOLY MOSES!!!!

Silk, I think it's more an issue of liquidity for me. I refuse to trade most nasdaq names just b/c you can't move more than 5k shares in a hurry. I know that on the nyse, I can dump 5k at market and let the specialist take his 20c from me. At least I'm out. On the nasdaq, when a stock runs away...

Maybe it's boring, I dont know... BUt today I caught a 90c avg move on 7500 ba, a 70c move on 6k beav, and a 65c move on 2400 dcn today. Call me crazy, but it's probably more money than you can reliably pull from some super volatile stock in a month of trading it looking for 10 pt moves. The big...

what do you mean an ambush, hrzg and neub are just slaughtering that ceo. When they stop selling, it's gonna tripple. It's a profitable optical company...How rare is that?
