Quik, I know what you mean but naw, that's not what he was saying. I know this guy from MSN's boards for the last year or so. He's an arrogant...
Very sound advice.
Funny how a few days on a winning streak all of a sudden makes you a "newbie killer". LOL. That's funny. When the next losing streak...
Sorry for raising the heat. I just get tired of the negative based "I know it all" comments like "you CAN'T trade with indicators successfully"...
P2 says "I don't think that anyone trading with low equity can make it in equities without first building his account using options" And on...
For daytrading, maybe it is different. But for a swingtrader, indicators are not useless. I use them with success (stochastic particularly). Of...
A few things. 1. Let's assume for a second that it is true that people with under 25K are being "better served" by the restriction. Since when...
