So what I'm reading from some of you is that you use S/R exclusively? From all the price action and charts I have viewed, it seems that a lot of 2-5 day breakouts are successful for short term profits. Am I just seeing what I want to see? It can't be that simple. But simplicity is good...

Everything I read states how risky this is (except in Elders new book). Seems like a good strategy in this bear market. They say how you are exposing yourself to unlimited loses but all you have to do if a postion goes against you is buy back the option. The only time you would ever have to...

Rounders was a great movie. My favorite 'stock trading parallel' scene was when the older guy in the robe at the gym said to Matt Damon. "I don't play cards for excitement. I play because I have to put food on the table and pay the bills."

Showtime23, Another one is ETG. Go to their website at www.etgtrade.com

So Gordon Gecko was wrong. Greed is not such a good thing afterall.

Too funny. Congratulations on member status. I gotta get that book too. :D

I'm bullish, so definately continue shorting.

I bought Kens course several years ago also. He is a master at his craft.... Marketing and writing. As far as biggest blunders I have heard of, my friend works for TIAA Creft. One of there clients inhereted 20 million dollars and insisted on putting it all in Cisco. That was March of 2000.

Stockdance; Abort at once all plans for your million. I just found out today that the stock market is a hoax. The whole thing is a set up designed to keep trading firms that charge commissions in business. These so called trading firms are actually part of the the mafia. Documentation...

Stockdance; Seems to me your goal is similar to me wanting to become the next Tiger Woods. I'm all for goals and climbing above negativity, but why does it have to be a million in two months? How about $10,000 in a year? I hope your trading with money you can afford to lose. Otherwise...

Stockdance; Just think. If you turn $20,000 into $1,000,000 thats a 5000 % gain in just two months. And in a crap market no less. I'm sure you'll want to pyramid your earnings since God is with you. So if you take that million and make another 5000% in the next two months your up to 50...

Gene, Please forgive my naivete regarding decimal trading but doesn't it make it easier in some aspects. For example if you are wrong about the direction of a stock and you have to get out, you can get out with a much smaller loss now that we have such tiny spreads.

Thanks for all the input from everyone.:)

My trading size is small. Nothing that would do any real harm if I lost it all. But I don't look at it from the money standpoint at this point. I look at it as if I am in training and if I'm not succeeding, my dream of trading (with size) for a living is shot. So I get all bent about that.

My biggest obstacle to successful trading seems to be controlling my emotions. When I put on a swing trade, I get obsessive about it. I check the price every few minutes and if I'm not near a computer, I phone in to check the price every hour or so. If I'm up, I'm happy. If I'm down, I'm...

I Just read an article in todays Sunday Denver Post about a morningstar study that said buying the funds which had the largest outflow of money in the previous year outperformed the average stock fund 70% of the time for the following three year period. I like that they used moneyflow and not...

Does anyone know anything about Van Buren Securities? Payouts? Commission rates? Contracts? Any salary?

Smackass; You say there are plenty of other firms out there besides ETG that would suit me better. I'm looking for a true prop. firm that provides the capital (Bright calls themselves a proprietary firm but you have to put up $25,000) and has an office in Denver. If not Denver then at least...
