  1. i'm sure there's tons of ppl that could take me to school. cabletrader and Joab on here are one.

    But that doesn't mean i'm an idiot (or losing money) either.

    you are probably not an idiot

    but don't you think you could trade WAY better if you only focused on support/resistance of say SP500

    just day trade it, increase size appropriately

    that's it

    fundamentals are not word you should ever utter

    IMHO - There have been times when fundamentals have provided valuable insight, and an edge… However with the current economy being what it is – I think, right now, the fundamental don’t offer any value.

    Could I be wrong – Lord yes


    Because - who can say what the future has to offer - there may come a time when they once again offer an edge (I can use)

    eta I'm refering to individual companies - I do use/ look at overall economy / sectors regularly - I would be a fool not to

    Take Care

    Kewl.....His initial post seemed okay. But, then he immediately mentioned a PM. Was kinda strange. Hope he passed on a good idea or two for you.

  9. oh ur right then. I actually swing trade (options)

    I should have probably pointed that out for the "fundamentals" comment. That bias can screw up daytrading (with the exception of major news intraday of course). Learned that lesson the hard way myself.

    Do you use daily charts in your intra-day trading?

    options I don't do at present moment

    and yes I do use daily in my intra day decision making

    two timeframes are good, wink wink
