Guest Post: Who’s the Mac?

Posted on September 30th, 2007
Written by Mr. White Folks

When I was switching anti-virus programs this weekend, my computer was infected. I guess it was already there, and it didn’t show up until I removed the first program. I’ve been contemplating making the jump to MAC for some time, but one of the obstacles was finding a charting package. I did [...]

Guest Post: MtM: Rated R

If a barely legal teen dressed in a Catholic School uniform performing a striptease, offends you, then don’t visit MtM: Rated R. Out of respect for the other contributors at MtM, I decided to post it somewhere else.
Its my first post, and I really don’t know how often I will update the blog. [...]

4 Trades Friday

Man, I am fried. Glad it’s the weekend.

After making the video, I remembered why I didn’t get into the ES move right after my stop-out. I actually *did* try, but I tried to get in at the bid with a limit order. And, it ran away from me without filling. [...]

Guest Post: Spanked, but Still Here

-3.6R today. 7 trades, 7 losses. It was a low volume choppy day, and I pushed for trades instead of trading good setups that I saw (because I didn’t see any). I’m not practicing what I’m supposed to be practicing anymore, I’m just starting to get back into trading as usual. [...]

This article goes way beyond the normal positive thinking bull****!
Btw, for anyone interested in a low cost alternative to get in better shape, check out kettlebells. I’ve been using them for a couple of months now, and its pretty sweet – burns tons of calories, builds your arms, strengthens your core, and have even [...]

Guest Post: 3 Humps

Written by Mr. White Folks

I linked yesterday to a chat transcript that outlined a couple of easy trades. Yesterday, oil rallied in the early afternoon. This morning it gapped up, and completed a 5 wave rally. It formed a double top, and broke a steep trendline. I went short.
The dotted and dashed lines are areas [...]

Guest Post: Pre-Market Trading Thoughts

Posted on September 27th, 2007
Written by Prospectus

After my experience with HOKU this morning, I thought a lot about pre-market trading. Spreads are wider and liquidity is thinner. You have to trade limit orders. Why trade pre-market? Because it can be great if you can get in ahead of the general public on something that runs wild at [...]

Guest Post: Today’s Trade

Posted on September 27th, 2007
Written by Mr. White Folks

I couldn’t hold on as long as I would have liked, but I made a few bucks. Yesterday, I stuck to my plan, and took two large losses playing the harami setup. It made me think about the reward versus the risk I was taking.
Last night I started searching for different articles on [...]

Guest Post: Thursday’s Trading

Posted on September 27th, 2007
Written by Prospectus

My results today were not as good as yesterday. The most important thing is “Did I trade well”? For the most part, I did. My style this morning did not match market conditions, but the trades were technically valid, even though they lost. I chalk it up to lack of experience [...]

I’ve got more social obligations than normal this week, so no written commentary. Just watch the video and be happy with that…
