Hi, I have an IB Margin IRA account. It it possible to take short positions in stocks in such an account. Thanks!

Hi, I bought ARXX in late October at the top of the big white weekly bar for 10.77. I use Stan Weinsteins method of using a trailing stop below the 30 week moving average after pullback/recovery cycles, and my stop is currently at 11.35. I'm wondering if it's time to pull...

Hi, Not sure if this has been posted here yet, I apologise if it has, but you all should know that www.wsex.com has made their poker room rake-free. This site is part of the World Sports Exchange, one of the largest and most trusted sportsbooks on the net. Rakefree poker is a huge...

I can't believe this thread is still going. It has outlived my trading aspirations but not my poker obsession.

Could anyone direct me to a spot where I could find the avg. pre-market volume for several major Nasdaq stocks (Intc, nvls, klac...) Thanks

OK, I've been watching the "Example System" thread since it started. I've noticed that the break of the 11:45 h/l is almost always followed by a pullback. Fade the break for a quickie and get out of the way? I have no real ideas for a stoploss right now. Lets observe. Again, these...

FWIW, I got tick data for the YM for the month of April from CBOT. (They give you one month free). I went through the data by hand using my origional rules: Gap > 6 pts. Profit target 6 points Stop loss: Close trade @ 9:55 AM For some reason the data was missing one day, April 29th, so...

Just got some tick data for YM. I'm assuming it's in Central Time. So, 16:00 EST = 15:00 Central? Is that right?

>>>>Lau says it's a challenge to win money at poker games at casinos in Atlantic City and elsewhere. "Those players generally are good," he notes. "Many have been at the table for seven hours already when you sit down. You need a streak of luck to beat seven good players." It's easier, he...

Just for the record, and for the sake of clarity. I've found 3 sources so far for gap fading techniques that I'd consider legit. (1 ebook and 2 articles) 1 suggests a 6 point profit target and a 17 point stoploss. One suggests entering the trade at 9:35 AM and using a time stop of 9:55 AM...

Is this the short only method you were describing? (I don't know easylanguage) Pretty good. What would happen to my strategy if instead of using a 6 pt profit target you made gap closure the profit target and kept everything else the same ie. exit at 9:55 if profit target is not hit

Thanks for the effort, but what you coded doesn't seem to be exactly what I'm thinking of. Here's a summary of wht I have now (subject to change of course). 1)If gap is greater than 6 points fade it. ie. sell gap-ups (like today), buy down gaps. 2)Set a profit target of 6 points. 3)...

PM sent

Took an easy 6 pts fading the open on YM again this AM. For the past day I've searched the net extensively regarding gap fading methods. I bought an article from Active Trader magazine. From these efforts I've put together the following ideas: If gap is 6 points or greater, and if all 3...

I've been interested in trading the opening gap on the YM for a while now. LAst night I took the plunge and bought a stupid Ebook for $97 dollars. It had tons of BS filler and essentially told you to fade the gap (meaning the difference between the 4:00 PM EST close and the (9:30 AM open) and...

Today's action in the YM was a bitch.

Sidinuk, Do you think that it would be wothwhile to go back and see how the system has done on days of FOMC meetings, (like yesterday) with the possibility of not trading those days if they've produced larger than expected losses? On an unrelated note I'm wondering if there is a way...

you mean 2005 right?

you paid the rent today...

I'm a winning Poker player and avid 2+2 poster also. I've been unable to make money trading. I became interested in trading way before Poker and I've been grinding down my reading account slowly for several years. One thing that Poker offers right now is the ability to learn very cheaply...
