Intraday prices inherently random? God, if only trading were that easy. This thread is so twisted, reminds me of a novel I had to read in high...
It would have been nice not to have this thread to devolve into another "does TA work?" debate, but it seems to have gone into this direction....
+1, +1 for the first 2 posts on this thread. It's not about knowing "who" - as in counterparty who - is on the other side of your trade. It's...
That was it.
Some people i know are having problems where if you go to hit the bid, instead of getting filled at bid you would offer out one penny above...
Unfortunately, anyone who's ever built up a decent amount through trading blows it out exactly the way neke is doing here. It's nothing unusual...
Neke has one thing going for him, he's not afraid of bigger numbers. But without an edge that advantage becomes a huge detriment. He focuses...
I haven't felt the urge to post anything on my own trading for a few months now. For me, I just feel like a completely different trader since I...
Unless you're gonna stick with mega caps, I think you'd have a very hard time pulling off comparable returns daytrading stocks as you do in index...

I really don't see how any trader worth his salt could strongly disagree with the first post -- the ability to read the market on the fly, to be...
It's not easy to start over. I had a similar experience to yours back in 99-01 (as I'm sure many others had). It took me about 6 years to go...
That's the thing, you need to cede that game to HFT and focus more on the long con, so to speak. The robots can usually get away with...
I can understand how the bots have made a certain style of trading obsolete. But actually I think current market conditions are the best I've...
Oh, don't take it personally, I was mostly referring to myself at that point in my career when I said "no clue what you are doing". I don't have...
The most underestimated risk imo is overestimating one's own skill over the long run. Past performance never guarantees future results -- this...
Just off the top of my head: if you need to ask, then the chances of your performance continuing over the long run, at least in its current form,...
I think this is the bottom line -- where intuition, gut feel, the "secret sauce", all stems from: experience. Can it be translated,...
In the past, I can't tell you how many times I've hit my peak P/L by 9:45-10:00, only to spend the rest of the day whittling that number away by...
