So what are you up this year Sabena? We've all had big runs before, are you sure it's permanent? I vote for the mechanical system being...
The lack of Intraday stops is exactly why it's useless to me. They never improve the testing portion of the program either, which tells me they...
Rock, my apologies. I think the site you referenced looks too good, but I believe it's possible. I'm going to mine their entry and exit points...
+ or - Is RockTheLurker and Doug_Neston the same person? They have the same exact flippant personalities? How much are you up Rock using...
I use the EOD version of Metastock for system testing but found it limiting. It doesn't allow you to enter and exit on stops, or limit orders,...
Checked out some of the entry and exits for them. They appear to use a simple swing trade system of buying from a dip when the current days price...

If you're going to memorialize your trading on a public forum, you should post entry and exits for the day, as well as cumulative MTD and YTD...
No stops, mental or otherwise, is suicide and will bring you to ruin in the long run. Taking a 20% hit is survivable, but statistically your risk...
Starting to like the layout of the new site now. Good job Baron. :)
I always buy on a gap up if the stock rises above the open instead of drops below the open right away if the gap is under 4%. I sometimes short a...
IB is great. Fast and cheap, no frills, and always improving their execution software. Those people that say run may be technically challenged,...
Did a quick review of what the average price appreciation was for EMLX during October 2001, by doing the following: Placing a Buy Stop at the...
I visually place stops and just guessed at 1%, but that is 25 cents I believe on a $25 stock. I give it wiggle room depending on the stock, and...
