axeman I just searched your posts and see that you participated vigorouly, and astutely in the Regarding the Existence thread. I di not participate. For me it is a matter of faith and God has revealed His hand in my life time and time again so I don't even question it. Therefore, I am not good...

I do it that way sometimes because my trading is not penny-dependent and I want to give the spec some room to work. When the market is 8 x 8.25 and you place a BUY LIMIT at 8.5, just for example - you are saying I want the stock at 8.5 or better. Placing the buy limit above the market makes...

axeman, you are a young fella. Fairly fresh out of college. Your posts demonstrate intelligence and one could easily discern that you are a bright person from reading them. And I suspect that you are making some money trading. I don't know if you ever hooked up with a trading firm, but I...

BCE thanks for the great link. I have coded the same into excel before bt had never checked to be sure I had done it accurately. This was a nice check. I haven't found that stocks regard the numbers like the futures. Has anyone else had a different experience? In the spoo pit the pivot...

LOL... I'm not sure that either can be used to qualify a trader's likelihood for success or failure. :)

For those who might need or want a better understanding of the word "meek", here is a link that helps to clearly define the original meaning. http://www.churchesofchrist.net/authors/Grady_Scott/matt5-5.htm Becoming more educated about the original and intended meaning of words will...

nitro, I'd hitch my shuttlecraft to your starship anytime. Good trading my friend. :)

Anyone who has ever looked in the mirror to check their appearance has "a touch of narcissism." :) Since Toni once said Brandon dresses "like a bum", he might not qualify actually. :D Looks like you have several pages of posts all saying stay. For the Gallup organization that is probably...

Though we have strayed off-topic...somewhat....I agree with your observation about the use of guilt by the early church as a means tp produce civil obedience. I think you make a good argument. Clearly not the church's finest hour. One thing I can say for sure.... I am glad you are not poor...

Interesting thought about media et al making one feel guilty about his wealth. How do they do that exactly? I see commercials asking me to give for causes. My church asks me to help the poor. I receive mail seeking contributions for charities. But none of it ever makes me feel guilt. If my...

I didn't grow up poor. Maybe if I had, having money would be a treat. I didn't, it's not. We ate at all the fine restaurants, wore all the best clothes, had all the best sports gear... wanted for nothing. Had a new corvette when I was 16. What my friends didn't have... we bought for them. My...

Oh man does this one bring back memories. I'm 46 now, so half of my life ago all that mattered to me was money. Money, money, money. Had to have it...lots of it. Even before that, when I graduated from high school I wanted to be a doctor because they made a lot of money. Well I discarded that...

Thanks for the insight 777. Personally, I think you have very nicely explained the current and future picture as it is and will be be, respectively. A beneficial difference for traders between this period and the one you reference is the level at which equities are. Higher overall prices...

One could certainly argue that a breakout of the flag occured on Friday. I doubt the volume was there to validate it because it was Friday. I confess I do not watch volume at all...unless playing a pattern breakout. Follow thru will be important here. Or even a mild pullback to the flag and...

I know, I know... a lot of you don't care what the overall trend of the market is beyond the next 5 minutes. So instead of wasting your time and energy posting about the futility and absurdity of such a discussion, please accept my apology in advance for this burdening discussion and do not...

If you daytrade or scalp... the same I know but different still... IB is great. I don't think Cyber does futures yet so no ES or NQ. And the pass thru fees will nickle and dime you to death if you do any size at all with Cyber. :)

How so Soph?

Great idea! I like to make sure the price trades thru the profit target also. :)

probably just semantics... lots of guys use breakout for either direction. Chas has been around the block enough times to know the diff. Thanks for the chart chas. :)

I think I know a guy who has a friend that went there. I'll contact him today and ask him about it again. From what I recall, he said it was very good. In my posts occasionally I make reference to the correlation between trading and craps... and I don't mean that trading is a crapshoot in...
