I've made money since I started trading SPY over the past year. I go for small profits; most of the time .10 to .30 on a trade of 300 to 500. I...
My original post wasn't 100% clear I guess. I meant in the "old days", when using a "local" ISP (at the time I lived in Michigan), if you...
But one can also make the case there aren't a lot of buyers (at the current price) if volume is down. In an up market I see the low volume as...
A few things: to breakeven while trading just part time isn't all bad. I think if you really want to do this successfully you need to be 100%...

Before I started trading I used to develop systems and spent a few years doing AI (Artificial Intelligence) based Expert Systems so I agree that...
