Stock Traders- Technical analysis?

[trab]

Anyone else trade stocks ETFs etc here?  Curious.

[FlexGuns]

Yes I do, through Ameritrade mostly.

Professional? Not me. What indicators are your fav's?
Stops- Whats the smallest increment you can set on your Ameritrade platform W/ a stop limit order?
Scottrade has a 16 cent minimum on stop limits. That gets out of line on some fastmoving stuff in larger lot sizes.
What you done well on this year?
Did May 11th bite you, what a trip that was?
You play short side too?

Laugh if you want but I have a 14-16% return on my portfolio every year.  Completely blows away a savings account.

My neighbors a pro.  Most striking is...  He put his Law degree on the shelf years ago, because he makes more $z trading!  (mostly 1-3 day holds) He Sips coffee all casual and piles up the dough.
Im guessing' he runs about about $400K acct by the rules he plays by and %ages  he shoots over to me.
Hes taught me a incredable amt of stuff, but the more I learn, the scarier it gets.

There's a WebSite Something like ... Pristine.com  he turned me on to w/ lots of good free (and pay)
info. They break down trades and analyze them.

Nothing like the thrill of riding a wining Trade. Right up there w/ Deep Powder Skiing, SuperBikes & Hot Women!

You got to remember though, its easy to watch the price of a new car go up in flames faster than you can click a mouse.

Definitely, the only reason I have a saving account is to keep from accidential overdraws on my personal account.  Sometimes, my shopping sprees get out of control.....


Everyone should at least have some additional investments and not put all of your eggs in one basket
