General Discussion · ex Goldman Sachs Trader Tells Truth about Trading - Part 1
marine2 msg #113310	5/11/2013 2:15:26 PM Sounds similar to the Turtle Trading author. He gets smart, hard working people to train and do exactly what his rules are. If they lose $50,000 bucks on any one trade they are out of the team. I read his book. He is a momentum player in stocks and commodities. I apply his idea to my filter I created and it is nice.

marine2 msg #113309	5/11/2013 2:05:07 PM It would be nice someday to be able to subscribe to computer software to play with the big boys. Have our brokerage houses that serve us provide the ability to play with the big boys having safeguards built in to let us sleep soundly at night. Yes, I am always looking for that edge but hey it means staying on dry ground and being happy too.

marine2 msg #113302	5/11/2013 12:54:00 AM As they say, different strokes for different folks. :-) If the true, so called experts, managing peoples accounts have trouble figuring out when to get out and keep their clients powder dry why would we think we would have the Holy Grail of knowing when to make the right decision every time. Yes, there are now computers managing accounts and those robotic minds make decisions without emotion or fear, they just analyze the data before it, does its calculations then decides what to do in a split second if not sooner. NYSE recently had an incident where someone created a false story about a bad situation in Washington DC and the computers reacted on it and had sell transactions from that news. It created a little bit of turmoil, to say the least, in the market place but because there are better, not perfect , safeguards in the electronic system at the trading centers the problem got nipped in the bud. This robotic buy and sell actions could be a future problem if our systems experts don't pay attention and keep vigilant in safeguarding.and have stringent rules and processes in place to protect our money.

General Discussion · Best Day Trading Book?
marine2 msg #113296	5/10/2013 8:09:34 PM Look for the book by author, Toni Turner, "A Beginner's Guide To Day Trading Online". She writes in a style that you can comprehend and grasp very nicely. She approaches the subject in a way that makes you feel she really wants you to be successful. This book and other investing titles she has written are found in established book stores across the country. Also try Googling her in the internet under her name, Toni Turner. Hope this helps.

marine2 msg #113295	5/10/2013 8:01:39 PM Investing in stocks can be very frustrating when even though you have done your homework, crossed your T's and dotted your I's as far as finding a sound, strong company, in fundamentals, and having the right technical elements in expecting a very good chance to see a rise in it's stock price, yet after you buy its stock shares you see its share price plummet like a rock for no apparent reason. Things happen behind the scene that makes even the most sound investment seem fragile. But, if you buy multiple companies using the same sound stock picking methodologies against a positive stock trading atmosphere you are hoping that you get at least 66 2/3% win success. And your loss in dollars are not greater than your grand total investment. Creating filters that will give you the winning edge is quite the challenge. Where you think a particular filter looks so good that it can not fail turns on you and kicks that theory out the door sure makes us eat humble pie from time to time.. The human emotion factor comes into play most often and does create situations where you either don't make the money you should have, or you could have saved a bunch of money by exiting earlier than you did, from a particular filter. Knowing how to control your emotions in deciding when to enter the market and when to exit the market equates to big money. Pay attention to news events that would create stock trading problems or opportunities, pay attention to the SPY (S&P 500), and QQQ (Nasdaq). If they are going up, in a happy investing atmosphere that should spell green light for you to do the same. On average there should be 4 ripe opportunities to play the market inside each year. Have a financial plan. Know how much money you need on each transaction to make money. Every stock price dictates a different investment situation. With all these variables involved creates quite a bit of mind involvement on your part. Maybe this is why we love being involved in this exciting stock investment game. Good luck to each of you, happy investing!
