Well I suppose a clarification is needed here. All the real "action" occurred above yesterday's low. But the majority of the time today was spent below yesterday's low.

I enter trades intraday at limit prices, usually 2 cents above the ask on a buy. This is not for a daytrade, so not buying at the bid isn't important to me. The market is .27x.28 and I want 4K shares of 8600 offered. Order goes in for .30 on 4K limit. Market prints .27's and .28's below me, of...

This is an open discussion about cutting losses witihin the context of buying fundamentally sound companies. Challenging the logic of this idea is what this thread is about. I will not support name-calling or bashing. Those posts that cannot stay within this framework will be edited or...

It's not that I mind the dollar amount so much b/c I don't. It is that they penny me, you, every trade all day long. And the SEC fine is so ridiculously low that it is better business for NITE to cheat than do it right. I just don't understand cheaters, swindlers, crooks, thieves... whatever.

Was that the week I was on vacation? It seems like the next thing I knew you were saying adios.... to which I PM'd and received no response.... cheeseball. And there was plenty of good support for you from Pabst and Mvic. For some lame reason when a member who volunteers as moderator adds his...

I know about every one of them Mecro. And those old ones ended up in Chit Chat. But mrmarket has returned and wishes to participate in discussions on Elite trader. No he doesn't trade moment-to-moment like you do. In fact, because he demonstrates no real use for TA I consider his methods...

I knew you were still around... this thread is like an old folks home without you leading the charge Romeo. C'mon man.... what.... you make too much money now to hang with the boyz in the 'hood?

Fourteen whole posts into your tenure at EliteTrader and you have it all figured out. First and foremost, mrmarket's open trades are available for your perusal. Secondly, he has posted here new selections that have done well. Third, read again my post quoting and affirming that there are many...

And like you say.... for us.... it might be. Similarly, there are certain stocks that I refuse to trade because I "know" ahead of time that I am going to lose money. Silly.. of course. But it is one less mental struggle I have to deal with.

I wish this statement had to be electronically signed once a month by every member prior to posting.

Start this thread over ABF, if you want, this one is closed.

You should have to assume I was new once? That should be a given. Perhaps you can reword your opening statement then, because it sure looks to me like you are saying you took on a huge position after hours and cannot protect yourself. But now that you have explained it more thoroughly I...

`You have committed four mistakes. The first three can be summed up in the following statement: a relatively new trader should not be taking on huge positions, especially during the still relatively illiquid after hours market, and especially without an escape plan in place prior to the trade...

Several times I and others have tried to start threads with the simple idea of posting specific trades. One member, Gary McLaughlin continues to do so, but posts each one under separate threads. I have never quite understood why threads like this don't boom here, but I would support one if it...

Hey that's great, thanks!

hoodoo is the strategy posted somewhere? I trade only equities, but I have to know and understand the strategy before I use it. And... although there were no replies, there were a number of views. Never judge the quality of your post by the number or quality of replies you get. We have far...

No. If you are referring to classes likes categories, I'd sure like to read your synopsis. If you mean classes like seminars, I'm afraid I am still on summer vacation. :)

Wow, are you saying that "savvy institutions" are reading this forum? Cool!

It is almost impossible to unbias the mind after seeing the outcome, but I think this is how it would have gone for me... Long just after A, shaken out at C even tho the MACD was not confirming the low. Long again at D b/c of the second divergence, kicking myself halfway b/t D and E, and by...
