He also said that these were screen shots he used for demos, so don't read much into the actual numbers.
Congrats on the new career path, hope it's a profitable one for you. Remember this: If you don't come to the table with a large dose of...
Thanks for the tips guys. I already do run scans on prior day price action, this one made it through the filter. It's easy to look back with...
Ha! I'm old, but my heart is strong and can handle a lot of abuse. The office implements within reach of me at 9:45 this morning did not fare so...
I didn't notice how it closed yesterday or I probably would have had fewer shares, but likely still short. It was an opening orders trade. It...
This week sucked, until Friday. Then it was just horrible. Nothing working, no volume, not much moving, way too many grinding trends. Short...

I've got no idea. My personal experience though is that something will cause a spike in volatility and catch a whole lot of people off guard. At...
I never trade close enough to my margin limit for it to be an issue. Between prop leverage and not trading very big in my retail account, I...

Best week since early July, +15k. Not particularly busy, as usual, but nothing BAD happened and I caught a few good trades here and there. Daily...
Do you know story on how he died and WHY his rope broke? He was into tying multiple 150' climbing ropes together then jumping off cliffs and...
It's not something I lose any sleep over. If someone wanted to do that they'd have to be a high level person in the firm and then they'd have to...
This market blows in so many ways. Really getting tired of the constant nothingness. First losing week since mid July, down $6,000. Traded...
