    Building a team in San Francisco

    Oh I see where you guys are coming from. "Forcing" people to make trades would be a big legal issue. I wanted everyone to trade the same stuff in order to create a shared fate, like a company would have. However, you guys point out that if someone doesn't like a trade, they just flat out...

    Building a team in San Francisco

    I realize its going to take a lot of work to get this going. My idea is to have everyone trading their own accounts so I'm not aware of legal issues. It would probably save me a lot of trouble if you know of some. I don't think front running will be a problem because I plan on paper trading...

    Reality based coin-tosser method that beats 95% of traders in the world.

    Actually, if you read my "rules" for the strategy, entry is made when the pullback is within 5 tics of the average at close. That rules out the first 2 times you see entry points. Say we scratch the 5 tic rule and just stick to the part where we enter at the end of the day... 2 profits and 1...

    Reality based coin-tosser method that beats 95% of traders in the world.

    haha Despite the fact that I picked a picture where the strategy obviously profited, I'm making a legitimate point.

    Reality based coin-tosser method that beats 95% of traders in the world.

    I created a one-trade-per-day strategy using candlestick indicators a long time ago. The strategy played out like this: 1. Wait for a “morning star” or “evening star” to occur on a daily chart of a group of stocks over $10 and with volume higher than a million. 2. Enter long for...

    Did you have to pay extra to see lions on your chart?

    This is kind of surprising. Volume has been way stronger on the downside but price action is so sideways.

    Personification or freakification of the market is probably a bad idea.

    I wonder if I can master super-human patience while learning how to day trade.

    Yeah, I'm not fond of the 10 point range days either.
