The stops you listed are more appropriate for a day trade, not for holding overnight. An overnight move in the overall market itself can easily take out tight stops. So you will need to losen them up. And if you can't stand the heat...then remove thyself from the kitchen.

First, it is a bad idea to use the word 'ALWAYS' in the context of trading. Nothing always happens. Famous last words: "Well, Bob. It always happened before." Second, you can assume that 100,000 other people in the past 50 years have looked into dividend capture strategies. There is...

When it comes to intuition vs statistical probabilities, I'll go with the probabiliites any time.

I taught TM for a few years, way back when. It is a very simple technique that involves silently repeating a mantra (word), and moving your attention back to the mantra when you perceive that you are having other thoughts. It is not a 'forced' concentration, but is meant to be done simply...

Could not disagree more strongly. Time in the saddle is everything. That's my experience, and from the results of this poll (good idea), that's the experience of others.

I short regularly at IB and have NEVER had a problem. I simply use a filter for daily avg vol over 1.5 million shares and price over 10. At less than that volume or price, I wouldn't want to be short even if I could get it.

InvestorRT at www.linnsoft.com. Nothing better for backtesting and trading portfolios.

It is, IMO, the very best book for a new trader to be reading. But like any trading book, put attention on the big picture and not so much the details. In the case of Triple Screen, the main take-away here is to reference the larger timeframe when trading on a smaller timeframe. The...

God, I just hope I'm not sitting next to him when it goes off.

Look at how far Ford has come in past few months. Today's pullback has no significance in the overall scheme of things. Given that one of Ford's competitors has just been handed a boatload of money, a pullback today is completely natural and expected.

That's baloney. If you were in an armored battalion in Germany or flying missions to Iraq from Yokota in Japan, you'd feel differently. And for every half-ass noncom who makes headlines with his stupidity, there are a thousand who are in rehab with missing arms and legs who you will never...

As a veteran, I completely agree. Wasting money is one thing, and bad enough. But wasting lives is unforgivable. War is too often the result of the failure of politicians to first exercise all other options. They should be held personally accountable, and it sickens me to see someone...

If IB integrated rules-based portfolio tracking, trading and backtesting, it would be huge. With their resources I'm surprised they haven't done it by now.

Yes, I know. You had to sit through thousands of hours of of the most god-awful negative political advertising that was an embarassment to America. But no matter how bad you had it, you didn't have to watch Ben Quayle get elected to congress. Here's it works folks. The republicans...

Go back to "South of the Border" where you came from. Balance their books.

Fund managers are chasing returns so as not to be left behind. They could care less about an employment report. If the market was reflecting the true fundamentals in this country, the S&P would be at 800. Which is about where it will be after the greater fools are done buying into this...

IMHO, doing anything at all with the drugs unless you are really plugged into the industry - especially options plays - is a very dangerous game. Very easy to get badly burned. In this case, in addition to company, product and market risk with a small company and a single product, you are...

Well, again, not to burst your bubble, but you aren't talking even in your dreams about a .5% daily return. Your very preliminary testing showed the possibility of that return on stocks traded. Which is far from a daily return. In reality - if you should make it to reality - there will be...
