You may have noticed that we are in a bear market? If you are going to trade bounces off a trendline, however you define it, then trade WITH the longer term trend, which in your case would be daily charts. Trading long off a trendline isn't a bad strategy (with tight stops) in an...

However, there is yet another problem with the newest "upgrade", 882. If you have an advisor and sub-accounts, then the ratios sent to sub-accounts are not what they were with 881. As is TYPICAL with IB, this was driving me crazy, leaving me with 2 or 3 leftover shares in various accounts...

How much does it suck? Well, I've been stripping old wallpaper in a bathroom. Put up by the previous owner. You know the kind of wallpaper that doesn't peel off easily, but leaves a layer of glue paper stuck to the wall. It's a dirty, crappy, slimy job. But I've enjoyed it more than...

You have a good opportunity with a cushion and some time. But the reality is - sorry - it is tough going and the odds are against you. As someone who was in a similar position a few years back, I suggest that you set a deadline for yourself to become consistently profitable. Mark a...

What slimey rock did you just crawl out from under? A shame that there are no barriers to posting on this site.

LOL! Comparing CSCO to NTRI is the biggest stretch I've heard in a long time. (P.S. NTRI is a dog. Trade it at your peril, at any level.)

Most women have a very strong need for security. It makes sense. If you are profitable and experienced, then it is all in her head. But if you aren't, maybe you should be listening to her instincts.

LOL. It seems like...if you're 6'8", have great hands and lots of speed, and work your ass off, you can play pro basketball. It seems like...if you're born with an IQ of 180, have an apptitude for math and physics, and have the time to think, you can be an Einstein. It seems like...if...

I've been through just about every kind of audit...personal and business. And I've never lost, including a challenge to my filing for trader status, even though the SOBs put me through the ringer with a look at 3 years of returns and a line by line challenge to my trading records. But if...

Mental stops, unless you are highly experienced, are very difficult to employ. It's too easy to play games with yourself. And with a fast-moving stock, by the time you reason with yourself and execute the order, you're often in the dumps. If you set a stop order with your broker, and not...

First, DRYS is a very volatile stock, and can hit you for a few points in minutes, as you discovered. So you really have to know your stuff to play with it. Second, you bought into a gentle pullback from the recent high, which was today's open And you did it on a day with a very weak...

I'm finding this market fairly easy to trade. With the market gapping up and down, there are quite a few opportunities to sell spikes of strength, and buy crashes of weakness intraday. No, you can't hang around very long, but if you are nimble there are some nice trades to be had. On the...

I would suggest precisely the opposite. But that's what makes a market!

Please tell, why is it that every Swede speaks English, but there are absolutely no street signs or directions in English? Coming from any other language, it's impossible to find your way around. Yet you pull into any service station or hotel, or stop any motorist, and you all speak perfect...

Man, did I have a great time living in Boca in the 90s when I was single. Lived across the beach near the corner of Palmetto and Ocean Blvd. Windsurfed every day and partied every night at Wildflowers. Great memories. But after 5 years, Florida does start to get old.

Investor RT at www.linnsoft.com was originally developed for the Mac and runs well on that platform. A great system with good support from Mac folks.

I can see it now. Thousands of busted Manhattan traders piling their $6,000 leather sofas on top of their 500SLs and trudging out to California to pick grapes, begging gas and burying Grandma on the way. And if we truly do shut down the borders from Mexico, picking grapes may, for many, be...

LOL. And I've seen at least 89,000 of those come and go. And they weren't serious about trading. They were serious about WANTING to trade, which is a different story altogether. I'll venture a wild guess that there are less than 100 active, fulltime, profitable (meaning professional)...

Trying to take a long signal from an MA crossover is like trading in the rear view mirror. Oh, price WENT up. (As in the past.) Hardly a solid entry point unless you have a strong market, and a strong stock behind you. In most cases, you're buying into the 'great fool' theory, and...
