Friday 14th March 2008

In half an hour I surpassed my day's goal... so I'm going to relax and go down to the beach for the day... All I have to say is that it makes you feel a little weird when you short something at $53, get out for a 0.50 gain and then 13 minutes later, it is at $28 (BSC). Wowser... we just saw capitulation this morning, I wouldn't be surprised if the market finished higher for the day.

Today wasn't good... after being even with an hour to go, I tried to make things happen in tight channels and paid the price... got destroyed by HUM basically...

Rebuttal

Apparently, upset at his lack of trading skills, Michael (from Retardtrader.com) has decided to attack me, based on the fact I couldn't be a woman. Hmmm... makes sense to all the male chauvanists out there I guess.

My boyfriend Andy used to have a blog called Parrafund... actually I just overwrote his one with mine (thinking I would get more hits that way, but once the link changed, the old one didn't transfer). He lived down in Florida and has travelled alot for work. He sucked at trading... but was good at teaching... you know what they say, those who can't do it, teach.

I'm not actually a vet yet, but I am going to school for vet science (and Paige isn't my real name so don't bother trying to find me. Obviously, especially by what Mike has presented, you'd have to be crazy to use your real identity on the internet. Andy is also not Andy's name.)

The holy grail??? Are you kidding? That was the most sarcastic thing I've ever written... and anyone with half a brain worked that out. What i was saying was that NO mechanical system can be written, it's all about reading the tape and being disciplined (see post on new rules). Does one have to say everything explicitly?

Lastly, as I've said previously in my blog, I use my boyfriend's money to trade, hell I even use his account!! What, is that securities fraud? Probably... lol

Please read the attack in the link below - it's quite funny and well done actually... this guy really needs to find a job with a bounty hunter or something.

Tuesday 11th March 2008

Wow, what a day??? After getting a late start and missing the first "surge", I managed to get destroyed on a few short trades and make "not enough" on quite a few more long ones... everything balance out really... Ok - shoulda, woulda, coulda syndrome setting in! I actually disbelieved the tape today... and tried to bet against it... so glad I had some gut-wrenching stops in there. Never try to predict the market, just react... lesson learnt (again!!!)

Until tomorrow... ;)

Good day. Not alot of trading. A couple of bonehead plays, but also a couple of good scalps.

+$495


Chart of the Day




Pretty self-expanatory... I didn't play the BSC capitulation all that well, but I was about to go for lunch and just took some well-timed scalps, most of them were for less than 10 seconds each... made quite a bit off them too.

Riddle

****UPDATE I fixed the link!

Thanks to Boogster for this one... but I figured it out, so I get to repost it:

This is a real math problem so don’t say that the bus has no legs. If you get the correct answer, that’s the password to the spreadsheet. Put your name in the column with the names (look to the right in the spreadsheet if you open it!), re-save the spreadsheet and then forward it on if you were smart enough to get the right answer.

ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A 5TH GRADER?

There are 7 girls on a bus.
Each girl has 7 backpacks.
In each backpack, there are 7 big cats.
For every big cat there are 7 little cats.

Question: How many legs are there in the bus?

The number of legs is the password to unlock the Excel sheet.
If you open it, add your name, re-save the spreadsheet and send it on to see who else can unlock it.

It's actually just pure math without a trick... which sort of disappointed me a little.
