I'm not sure if I am allowed to ask this, but I am going to try ... Any opinions on: Investors.com and the IBD100 VectorVest.com and VST Rating TradingMarkets.com and PowerRatings Zacks.com and the Zack's Rank Thanks, Brian

Some things I have learned ... 1. Picking stocks is not hard. 2. Trading psychology is hard (btw, I am using real money now, and doing this opened my eyes to a lot of issues I had not planned on). 3. Money management may be the most important thing (I am studying that now). 4...

Absolute best response I have gotten. AND, I think you are 100% right.

Selling AMCC @ $3.65 Up 10.27%

Selling LVLT @ 5.820 Up 11.28%

Selling WFR @ 43.42 = 17.22% change

Out of OVTI @ 13.62 A 22.92% loss. In my paper trading account, I used a stop and reduced my loss some, but that is not part of this test. I know a lot of people look down on paper trading, but I have to say that after 4 months of it, it has been VERY educational. I have made and lost...

One other thing, if this was an actual log of my specific dates & times of my Ins & Outs, I would have still gotten out of these two. But, I would/am looking for an entry point to get back in sometime next week (probably Monday afternoon). On another note: The guy I share an office with (a...

In my paper trading, I am cycling in and out of this stock (what I post here is just part of a test on picking breakouts). I'm doing pretty well with most trades, but making some MAJOR mistakes with others (ex. OVTI). Because I am still learning, I'm very glad I am using paper money at...

Sold PKTR at $12.92 Up 11.91%

Sold DXPE at $27.70 Up 12.79%

Got to leave for the weekend, so I can't stay and watch it like I should ... But, first two stocks have moved or at least begun their moves: DELL up 11.08% BRCD up 13.01% Money management, and exit techniques would come into play here, but that is not part of this particular test...

EXACTLY! That is one of the things I am doing here. And, I am very thankful for the comments/suggestions I have gotten so far. -TraderEO

One thing I like about the Stock Simulators is that they don't let me cheat on entries and exits. But, as I watch the real money trader who I share an office with, I see that the psychology and feel are totally different with real money. Thanks for the suggestion on the book.

Well said. And thank you for your comment. My steps: 1. Get pick system down. 2. Polish my entry method. 3. Learn exits and stops. 4. Money management. 5. Psychology I expect that each step will get more and more challenging, especially when real money is on the line...

I use three trading screens. One to find potential BIG MOVERS, one to determine direction of move, and one to pick my entries and exits. For this test, I am ONLY using the first two (I did not look for entries and exits -- hence, the 42 picks in one day). Actually, exits and stops are...

Took a look at graph ... FLOW is probably going to go down to 11.50 or so ... :) seems I get a little dose of humility handed to me on DAY 1. :D

10:21 AM Update: FLOW & DVSA are down more that 2%. BRCD is up more than 2%. Its clear that I'm going to need to add good entry, exit and money management systems when I go live with this pick method. On the plus side, around 52% of my picks are up. :D It seems that so far, my...

Guildenstern, This is a topic that facinates me. I look forward to following your journal. -TraderEO

Something just occurred to me. I have been rude ... vhehn & bitstream, Why don't you make 40 picks on one day, and lets see how you do in swing type positions, over the next 13 week or so? This would be a great opportunity for you to use your experience and knowledge to educate a...
