I'm a new Neke follower. Good luck in 2011! I knew this thread existed and others whom I respect follow your journal(s). Don't really know why it took til now for me to dial in, but I guess we all like stories like yours (less last year's experience :)).

Hmmm ... i've been in bob's chatroom for over a year (there's a handful of people who've been consistent participants longer than me). But he sure seems to do very well from what i can tell. And given that he posts about every single trade - and i haven't seen you in the chat - kinda makes me...

Wish I had heard you a few years ago ... I added a few laptops to my four-monitor setup several months back and my profitability has been better than ever. Who knew ... :-) JS

Off to a good start this year, Mr. W !!! As long as you keep those jumping jacks in mind, no doubt you will have a great 2011 ! Good luck to you ! JS p.s. continued thanks for making the chatroom available and being a gracious host . . .

Good luck in 2011 Puddles !!! (Geez would be proud). JS

Puddles, if you look at your best months and worst months, are you able to draw any conclusions to explain them? JS

Nice trading puddles ! Who says this market is boring...

Not much going on? You made a cool grand !!! :) That's gotta count for something...

Bob, how many jumping jacks did you do for the DECK trade? That is the requisite punishment still, isn't it? JS

Lescor, We know that a stock's movement is not always directly correlated to the overall market's movement and you've indicated previously that this is not a requirement of your trading (but hedging may be used). But when you look at your few top money-making strategies, to what extent do...

Lescor, How would you advise traders to approach profit taking? What have you seen successful traders focus on mostly? Taking profits at pre-determined targets? Using trailing stops or some variation to catch bigger moves? A mix of the two? Or adding on to profitable trades and then...

The crazy things people say . . .

Nine_Ender When you make 1,000+ trades like I have, or even a few hundred, you will find that your post was regrettable. Trading is a game of positive expectancy no matter what your "win" rate is. But consecutive losers are unavoidable. Coin flipping doesn't tell me how to avoid...

Mike, I guess you had to say it again nonetheless . . . Good traders need good discipline . . . If you don't have the discipline to refrain from making a childish post on a thread where people have no agenda and simply are sharing information, then your discipline is lacking. Trading...

Masterjaz, Mike and TJ may have different points to make in this thread than myself (I haven't read every last post in this thread). But at least they are being constructive which is ideally what this forum should be about. You, on the other hand, are a turd. My only point was directed at a...

If your trading strategy/system is pretty mechanical and can be evaluated in the context of winners and losers, then statistical probabilities for something as easy as coin flipping provide insight. It's already been said, but if you determine your trading has a 50% win rate, then you know...

Puddles, Maybe just one more question before a new trading week starts . . . Do you follow the QQQQ at all for relative strength/weakness determinations for the Nasdaq stocks you trade? While the Qs and SPY move together pretty much, there are still plenty of occasions where there is...

Good stuff Puddles. HC would be proud :-) JS

Congrats puddles, glad you were able to maintain discipline and stick to the method and let the reversion to mean work to your advantage this time around. I haven't posted in a while, so how about a question . . . or two. the last RIMM short trade worked well but doesn't look like some...

Same principle applies here, but it appears that this indicator has been Puddles'ized ! JS
