You may want to be very careful about specifying a stock going into dry-up this week. After all, the week before Labor day holiday is always the lowest or second lowest volume week of the year. Just something to be aware of.

Really depends on what kind of data feed and platform you want to run. Alot of them don't support mac obviously. I trade only equities and options, on a windows box these days because I like to have two machines and since this one is only for trading it was cheap to get a stripped down Dell...

Advanced math is not necessary. I am an engineer with advanced degree and took more math classes than I can count (pun intended). I never use anything more complicated that 3rd grade math in my trading (with the exception of indicator calcs like stochastics, but it's automated through charting...

Glad it's warm for you this winter, because we just had the coldest January of the last 35+ years here in Fairbanks. And when I say "cold" I mean lows in the -40s and -50s for weeks on end. Awoke to -41 this am. It will finally go above zero this weekend as a "warm" front arrives. The high will...

You know, I've read alot of the Hershey stuff on here. And my opinion is this: Ya'll are trying to make this shit WAY too complicated. It's a simple small to mid cap volatility/channel breakout model. You don't need all the 1/0/7 ranking stuff or these specific screening criteria...

You must have missed this part of my original post: "My current job will end in about one year (project oriented and the project is nearing completion)."

After reading 3 or 4 Buffet oriented books years ago, I found them to paint a very faulty picture of how he actually made his money and built the BH fortune. The conventional wisdom on Buffet offered in these books is that after working with Graham (or was it Dodd?...anyway) he applied these...

Thanks for the input (and links) thus far. Murray, I actually live in Alaska. Do I know you from somewhere? Are you living here in the 49th? I wonder if my profitability would be higher just playing 4 tables of $2/$4 Hold Em for 8hrs per night and skipping trading all together. I look...

I’ve spent extensive time reading through the archives here, and it was productive. In many of the journals, traders made a set of mistakes that mirrored my own experience. It was uncanny really. Not only did I find the development of these traders instructive, but also the advice given by a...
