Tony Show was Great. Learnt some interesting things about thinking process while evaluating trades. Nothing really new regarding the technical stuff that you can't get from his books... All in all worth the trip Did anyone see David Nassar's live trading session????
Ok my report Sorry didn't make the dinner but I WAS SOOOOOOOOOO hung over from previous night. A lot of different traders at my firm got together and got very drunk. Let's see I got to meet / talk with Tom_P , Don Bright, Gene Weissman, Limbo, Intrensisc, LimitDown, Tony Oz, Bruce F., Echo's New Jersey Manager Mario, The cute model Amy was who was working the Trendfund booth. Andrienne Togharie (who happens to be my father's ex partner from way back) , That cute blond at S&C magazines booth. Allie Ellis from Active Trader who helped me make some for me to start working more with their mag. Talked with Walter @ WorldCO who happens to be that person who started screaming to another poster here and a lot of the traders who trade w/ my firm. I'm sure I missed a few others I met and I'll recognize you when we meet at some other event. Robert Tharp
dottom, Thanks for your comments about Traders International. It was my gut feeling that this guy was b/s. I would never waist my money without checking his record first - nor should anyone. I'm curious if ANYONE will speak out in his favor. Mike
The tuition reimbursement program from TerraNova completely reimburses the student, making the cost of the education free. We simply don't make money from the school since we reimburse. We offer the education because people need it, just as students from all endeavors learn by example from experienced professionals. Our students benefit from contributors like: Jack Nick. 17 year veteran and Specialist of the NYSE who contributed to the live trading event in NY. Bill Lupien. Specialist, Market Maker, Prior Chairman of Instinet, and institutional level trader who contributes to our education. Larry McMillan. Best selling author and professional Options Trader who teaches our options courses. These and others are all contributors to our school in addition to myself. TerraNova, MarketWise, RealTick, etc. all believe in building better traders through better education. The work done by Tony Oz, and others at the show all contribute to a very noble cause. These "Win-Win" constructive relationships are what build good traders and strong companies where traders trade. I'll be trading live on TeraNovaâs conference software each and every Thursday if you would like a live demonstration of the RealTick Platform, the TerraNova Broker/Dealer support system as well as the MarketWise Trading School program. Please visit www.terranovaonline.com to sign up. Its free. Warmest regards and Trade Wise! PS Here is an update on my Puts on the Chart I offered last week regarding the Semi-conductor play. The trade has worked well and we will continue to offer valuable trading ideas each week.
My God man what was up with those dudes at your booth??!! What did you guys do....hire those losers from Central Park who accosted that poor French girl in front of her boyfriend a few years back? I found myself going around the other hall way by day 2 just to avoid their overly aggressive tendencies.....and I am not one to be intimidated. Then I met someone at the bar who said they had just been hired to trade at WorldCo.....oh I better not even go there. Strange stuff.
As opposed to the invigorating vendors who respectfully hawk their wares on message boards, presumably? You and your cohorts are becoming truly obnoxious. Your commentary has degenerated from shameless self-promotion to engaging in screeching catfights with each other over who amongst you is the least dishonest. Although I realize you will not heed this: you have damaged yourselves through this unprofessional behaviour, as no intelligent observer could possibly be persuaded to trust such a bunch of arrogant fools. And it is clear that if any of you really were offering anything of value, you wouldn't need to engage in this contstant advertising -- you'd just post your website address and let interested parties investigate for themselves.
Gee, sorry for getting you so excited, all you have to do is "opt out" of any of the information that I share. And, please do not refer to others as "cohorts" - that would imply some sort of similarity between posters.....I do not refer to the (very) few who respond defensively as you did as members of some sort of defiant group...anyway...just click on by, and sell your products in peace (and if you think that your transparent retort to my comment was missed, it was not) We try to keep this board open and fair, and I respect your right to an opinion (I just don't think it is a very common one). Just an opinion of an "arrogant fool" --- Keep smiling...have a good day, and for gosh sakes, lighten up a bit....
I am going to save this thread until Saturday afternoon, grab a six pack and enjoy it for everything it is worth. Everyone is just trying to do their thing, and that is OK folks. If you have a problem with something, go after the base of the issue, not the person involved with it (no need to get personal). I live in NJ, and consider myself a very successful trader (over many markets). The last time I went to this expo was three years ago, and I decided it was not for me. I wish I went this time just to hang-out and watch the Worldco guys. That would have been funny (based on what I have heard). Live long and pro(s)per.
Come on guys, lets keep it content rich here! On that note...here is my closeout trade I made today on the semi call I made last week. Please go back to the prior posts to review the play and know I covered the trade today (I was long 60 March Puts, 10 of which I opened in my live trading session at OTE). The trade was covered since I met my objective to buy back my shorts and sell my Puts on a retracement of 5% below the 10 MA. AMAT met that level today and I took profits. Read the attachment for a look. Monday, I will cover in detail my next play on the Bio-Tech's and why they are ready to bounce per a five step filter I use which includes oscillators, directional movement and price elasticity (among a few others). Don Bright, Sorry I missed you at the show. I tried to say hello at the little cocktail hour where Baron was the first night but we missed each other. I did say hey to your Brother although. As far a "Boxed accounts"...you missed the point. I know they are not legal...that was my point...and I feel Bullets should be illegal as well since both circumvent a useful longstanding rule of the NYSE (where the short sale rule originated as with most rules that still stand today in the market), the short selling rule. Also, I would comment and say it just doesn't matter anymore! Come on!...we are trading with penny spreads here. So what if I need to sell into an uptick...it a penny! for goodness sake. I don't trade for penny's and know one should unless your a NYSE Specialist on the NYSE. Now they have an advantage since they see the NYSE book in the markets they make. They can "high bid" a strong supporting bid knowing there are "light offers" above the internal book, giving them an opportunity to start a rally on light selling pressure while limiting downside risk if they are wrong by "hitting" a strong supporting bid with only a penny downside risk. Now that is an advantage...but as electronic traders we don't see the market book in any given issue, so bullets are a waste of time for most traders in my opinion. Anyway, wish we would have met. I hear things are going well for you and your brother in Las Vegas! Best of luck and hope to see you in Denver on your next trip. David
