    Trading Journal - May

    I follow KLAC every day. To me it looks like its being accumulated right now for a run later in the day. I think this is a good spot for a long swing entry. To me shorting down here is playing with fire.

    Gonna jump; need advice

    Make sure you really want it. The last time I checked the failure rate was about 95%. Know that before you start. Remember, you can still trade and keep your job if you do swing or position trades. Actually I think that type of trading is better in this market because many stocks make an...

    Any thoughts on this article?

    Why don't you post a synopsis of the article instead of having us click a 'link'? For all we know it could be a 'pay-to-view' link that just wastes time. Just like the guy a week ago who posted a link of traders in an area which required a $60 fee. Give me a break.. PS I did NOT click...

    Daytrader Arrested

    How can he short an illiquid stock like that under $5? To my knowledge no broker would allow anyone to short stocks trading under $5. Even if it was shortable at the time, how many shares could he get off? The stock only traded a few thousand shares a day. Something is not right in this story.

    Now that QQL will be gone, wich market data software gives the best bang for the $ ?

    [/b] Good question. I'm wondering the same myself. DTN is available, but I've tried their trial and didn't like it at all. DTN falls short in too many ways.

    Quicken Quotes Live to be discontinued

    I signed up with Quicken a couple months ago and think its a great service. I really enjoy the unlimited symbols and charts. Reliability has been great also. As far as I know there is no other service out there right now that gives all this for a reasonable price like Quicken does. I...

    Is it all smoke and Mirrors?

    That's real interesting what you wrote about the commodities predicting an event not seen in a long time. It definitely portents something ominous. I hate to sound off any doom and gloom, but in 12 years of investing/trading I have learned to never doubt markets. Another thing is that...

    Trading the NYSE intraday

    I read a couple posts that said to avoid IBM because of the specialist. Personally, I don't think IBM is that hard to trade, and the specialist seems fair. Never have I had a problem regarding execution; even when going short when IBM was downtrending. The stocks I do have a problem trading...

    Anyone watching/trading DYN?

    I see where you are coming from about the mutual funds selling, but the same could have been said about TYC and VRSN not too long ago. Both of those were/are heavily owned and followed. TYC went up almost 50% top to bottom. VRSN has edged up 3 pts. I'm really wondering how the specialist...

    Anyone watching/trading DYN?

    I've noticed some traders on this site are into picking bottoms on oversold stocks and then riding them up a few points. Personally, I beleive that is one of the best ways to play the market right now. But the trick for me is to differentiate between a stock that goes down and stays down, and...

    Wanted: Custom-built computer

    I agree with the other guys who said build it yourself. www.tigerdirect.com has many parts with quick shipping. Motherboards, video cards, monitors, whatever you need. If you build it yourself, trouble shooting is a breeze because you know the machine inside out. cp

    java applets problem

    Go into Control Panel (from Settings) Click Internet Options Then click the Advanced column See what you have checked on that list. Play around with some of the options there. My guess is that your problem lies with one of the options on that list.

    looking for an inexpensive data/chart feed

    Thanks everyone for the replies. I'm surprised no one mentioned Scottrade Streamer, which is free. All you have to do is sign up at their website. Live streaming quotes and a live chart. Only problem is the periodic outages, and log-on difficulty at times.
