Goodness so much power....
You Wait
Well pfft, if your not gunna take them up on the Sushi offer... allow me to step in!
ANDS .06 Gap up this morning! And slammed right back down! lol doh.
CNAM has also been off the chain!! Let that one go wayyyy to early.
Yes, closed out IBCA for a 10% and GMO for a 5%'er...
May have to let ANDS go tomorrow... turning into a big turd
Yup, just pop open freestockcharts.com right now and load up FAZ/FAS. you will see.
Basically their is an open pipe of data between your browser and the server that never closes. As soon as the data is available it's sent to you and received, which is near instant.
I use freestockcharts.com
No refreshing... it's all streaming.
This is something even the big traders talk about, I specifically remember Jim Cramer stating that he became far more successful when his wife blocked out the amount of money he was making, and the prices of the current trades.
When it came down to needing to do 1 thing: make good trades, he started to excel.
LOL Touche!
Nope. I don't hide the ads... lol. Coming from a webmaster point of view, your types really piss me off!! lol... Taken away my few cent clicks
Reality is... those who hide ads never or rarely click on them anyways.
I'm not sure since I do not watch L2, but that is the cost of doing market orders. They are going to fill you at the best available price they have. If price is going up, you will tend to get filled a few points higher. Maybe wait for a downtick to hit the buy button? and an uptick for the sell?
The only other thing you can do is use limit orders... but that can be extremely difficult because of the volatility on these ETF's.
Good god why did investor hub move the ads above the top bar? That looks terrible!! lol
Good to see SNWT picking up some attention again.
Yes sir! Of course, this month has been a little bit rocky (what can we say, the market is topping).
I am still in all of the plays that I have entered since 10/18. Looking to close out IBCA for a 10%'er... and the plays that were called last month, if you would still have held um... well, i'll let the spreadsheet do the talking... lol
IBCA I would actually be at 10% now, but I missed entry due to work.

CHRS and ANDS are on a tight leash for me... ANDS especially. It trades weird.
Yes, it sounds like you are nervous. So look at your trades. Did the ones you exited out of to soon, or were faked out on, continue in the direction originally intended? Or were you correct in that the exit was warranted?
For me, it helps to not look at price, but to strictly look at my indicators, and the occasional candle stick to see where it stands in relation to the previous candles.
Hey Ryan,
Have you played any of the swings on the Micro board yet?
Yup, watching the open tomarrow... stops in place after 10:00
Very nice... I see you fancy excel as much as I do...
Here is my template, but it's not so much for day trading, but swing trading and marking old positions. Pulls in the current price from yahoo... may be something you want to use for added functionality to yours..!

And yes, those are live trades for me... lol Just wish they were all leveraged @ 25k
Going live completely changes the rules to the game.
You are now risking live money, and as much as you want to try and mimic those emotions paper trading, greed and fear will own you if you do not have control of them in a live trading environment.
When you practice, it is best to make yourself feel like you are risking actual cash. These are hard to do because if you have a bad trade, you just say 'oh well, next time'. In the live environment, if you loose, generally it flows something like 'what the $#@$ %#$%#$ i can't believe @#$#@$ this system is @#$@#...'
The rules are the same, but the trading environment for the person changes drastically.
This is something that, unfortunately, will not go away without experience in the trading world.
After time, your reaction to losses will go something like this: 'One loss, ready for re-entry, give it to me baby!!'
Hope this helps
IBCA anyone...?
Agreed. I hope it is not just another ruse while they implement dilution into the stock. At this point in time, I don't know what to think.
:shrug:
There are a few people that go negative when they first start off, mostly from lack of confidence.
Yes -- these rules are golden but more than likely those that are loosing are not following the rules exactly. Something that goes along with experience.
Seven Springs in PA, and I take the newbies who want to go for their first time to Mad River Mountain in Ohio... nice small slopes their.
The PA hills can get a bit brutal at times haha...
I certainly hope so friend!
Oh yeah without a doubt. I always trade off of mental stops their.
So far since Sunday night +50 pips for the week.
I really need to get rid of this m-f day job
I am getting to a point where I am starting to loose money working. Blehhh lol.
One thing I have learned, if I can make pips in the ausie/tokyo session, it will just be that much easier during NY and London sessions.
Always a good thing
I follow EUR/USD pretty heavily, and I expect it to be ranging at least for the rest of this week. I have been wanting a setup for a long term 4 hour chart play but it's not giving it up very nicely.
Oh man, apparently I need to add AUD/USD to my list of traded currencies... price action is reallll smooth. Is that the norm for this currency?
Generally EUR/USD is a little more stable then today... and USD/JPY or Cable/USD is my other one that I trade when I am feeling a little frisky... those things fly all over the place!
Very nice!! I've been watching EUR/USD from here at work... Price action is just absolutely in consistent today with it... I think I may have barley pulled in 40 pips by this time today if I was actually trading... haha.
Did you happen to jump on gold yesterday at the open? It was up over 6 bucks in the first few hours lol!
It doesn't look like very good action is going on in the f's for the 1 minute today...
If I was at home trading, I would buy and hold faz, and hedge fas on the dips 1 minute, of course. No sense paying commission on a constant trend direction.
Edit: it will be interesting to see what % they have pulled in so far though.
Yup. I remember selling in the .30's quite a while ago. I hope this company has finally found it's bottom... too good of a company and a great gem to jump into, that is if management would quit paying for promotions and using the stock as an ATM.
Anyone remember when they continually kept PR'ing about contests that they were having? That was a little silly... lol... GLTA
That's why the slopes are so fun...
Fall down the mountain 2 or 3 times... grab a beer, rinse and repeat.
As it gets colder, introduce liquor.
Recipe for a great time...!
buy and hold appears to be the key strategy today... !
Oh man I can't wait to hit the slopes up again this year!!!
still holding
CHRS
ANDS
GMO
IBCA
looking to liquidate a few today. ANDS on a really tight leash for me.
Excellent news out this morning. The company is showing and detailing what it's plans are for the future of the company as well as the shareholders.
A pink company that is upfront and straight forward about their business is a winner in my book. Great things to come.
No I did not as I do not watch L2. Perhaps they cleaned their position then came back for more since we have bullish biased news??
It's a beautiful thing for sure... we just need them to follow through with it.
