    Lenny Dykstra is one awful trader

    Wow. From all indications, he planned to hold and "double down" right to the end. I can see him holding and waiting for "just a little bit more" and then watching, stunned, as it drops out of sight. Hell, we've all done that. But I hope none of us are as crazy as Nails... :D Is he...

    Lenny Dykstra is one awful trader

    Daily was all I could pull up on Esignal. Anybody else have this data? I tried an IB chart, but since that contract is not listed I couldn't open up a chart.

    Lenny Dykstra is one awful trader

    Here are the daily O,H,L,C and Volume numbers for Dec/Jan, DOX JAN20C. If he actually sold on 1/6 then it might be possible. I'm suspicious. Only 10 traded 1/7. 1200 traded 1/15 for about 0.2-0.1, pretty close to the 1160 he had! 12/1/2008 0:00 1.1 1.1 0.65 0.65 688 12/2/2008 0:00...

    Who trades ETFs? Leverage ETFs?

    I trade 'em all. Or at least those with volume above 100K. I luv 'em. Some move like stocks, but don't have all the bankruptcy risk on the downside, or buyout risk on the upside, problems that stock has. I long them and short them. I even short the ultrashort ones. Why? Because a setup is...

    Nadel’s 32% Returns in Doubt as Manager Disappears

    Ya gotta wonder how many more of these there are? Common ET folks, we know some (a lot?) of you are fake/failed traders running OPM. Might as well confess. It will be cleansing for your soul!

    Lenny Dykstra is one awful trader

    Yeah that -$208000 nearly wiped out his whole year. Probably only luck saved his azz so far. If Obama doesn't pull some miracles, Lenny might be another missing "guru". This is such a classic example of what a relentless and reckless martingale strategy can do. That Cramer and TSC condone...

    California to Begin Issuing IOUs on Feb 1

    Hey, be careful talking about Cali there! What if the US didn't have all of our drugged out, screaming liberal limp wristed Hollywood Fags bitching about everything. Then what would you do? :p

    questions about portfolio margin at IB

    Just as a FWIW I've noticed, using the "Try PM" button, that margin with PM is only a little bit better than regular margin. And I usually have 10 - 20 positions on so I am fairly un-concentrated AFAIK. I remember PM used to show about a 30% better margin than Reg-T. I'll still probably...

    Worst Trading Platform Developer of 2008 Award

    The last year or so has been very stable for me too. We all complain about frequent TWS changes, but things have been fine lately. If you can find a broker with the cost structure, API, zillions of markets, features, company strength, etc, etc, etc, - that never has any problems - then...

    Trust: Blackstone Exec. just charged with insider trading!

    All I could think of was "Casablanca"... Rick: "How can you close me up? On What grounds?" Louis: "I'm shocked, shocked, to find that gambling is going on in here!" Man to Louis: "Your winnings, sir." [Louis to man] "Oh, thank you very much. [Then to all in bar] Everybody out at once."...

    If the "Trading Tax" is Passed

    Wrong. They aren't proposing a 1/4% of the commission tax, it's 1/4% of the value of the TRADE! You buy 2000 shares of a $50 stock and it's 1/4% of $100K. Or a nice little $500 + commission for a round trip. Still sound like a great idea?
