One day in class the teacher brought a bag full of fruit. "Now class, I'm going to reach into the bag and describe a piece of fruit, and you tell what fruit I'm talking about. Okay, first: it's round, plumb and red." Of course, Johnny raised his hand high, but the teacher, wisely ignored him and picked Deborah, who promptly answered "An apple." The teacher replied, "No Deborah, it's a beet, but I like your thinking." Now for the second. It's soft, fuzzy, and colored red and brownish." Well, Johnny is hopping up and down in his seat trying to get the teacher to call on him. But she skips him again and calls on Billy. "Is it a peach?" Billy asks. "No, Billy, I'm afraid it's a potato. But I like your thinking," the teacher replies. Here's another: it's long, yellow, and fairly hard." By now Johnny is about to explode as he waves his hand frantically. The teacher skips him again and calls on Sally. "A banana," she says. "No," the teacher replies, "it's a squash, but I like your thinking." Johnny is kind of irritated now, so he speaks up loudly. "Hey, I've got one for you teacher; let me put my hand in my pocket. Okay, I've got it: it's round, hard, and it got a head on it." "Johnny!" she cries. "That's disgusting!" "Nope," answers Johnny, "it's a penny, but I like your thinking!"

They will be eliminated henceforth. the middle group 1.00 - 1.99 had 8 out of 32 stopped out...that's doable The last group was the most promising 2.00-3.99 had only 4 of 25 stopped out. Since the stopped out positions represent a loss of .15% of the account a few high flyers managed with trailing stops should suffice.Once the +25% threshold has been met the trailing stops are placed 10% under that days close.

An August update re: Seasonality and reversals off of ytd lows: As this project developes in it's rudimentry form, i am looking for improving upon it's profit and loss results.My basic parameters are: 1 Liquid traders having retrenched 40% from their last 90 day highs and near their ytd low 2. Separate into 3 groups: 0-99, 1.00-1.99, 2.00-3.99 3. Define reversal as 2 upticking sessions(higher closing price) confirmed in the third day by either opening or at sometime during that seesion trading through the second days close. 4. A trade is 1.5% of account 5. Stop loss set immediately 10% under entry. 6 .Half of position open sell 25% above entry My 0-.99 list: ANO in .63 current .63 ASTI .72/.98 CHLN .99/1.03 CYCC .81/.83 DSTI .30/.30 NBY .86/.92 NTWK .89/.93 GRO .77/1.10 there were 6 positions stopped out. My 1.00-1.99 positions are: BIOD 1.15/1.22 BZH 1.63/1.98 CHINA 1.30/1.33 COMV 1.72/2.29 CSUN 1.23/1.33 CLWR 1.72/2.81 CPST 1.20/1.20 FCEL 1.16/1.23 FREE 1.21/1.18 DRL 1.50/1.59 EGLE 1.87/1.97 GU 1.88/1.71 HW 1.91/2.18 HILL 1.69/1.83 MOVE 1.52/1.67 NLST 1.42/1.73 SYNM 1.12/1.20 SMSI 1.87/1.88 SOMX 1.00/.98 SPIR 1.50/2.11 SATC 1.09/1.15 SNSS 1.40/1.50 There were 7 stopped out positions The list for 2.00-3.99 AVNR 2.73/3.00 BTN 3.65/3.95 CMFO 2.12/2.31 CCRT 2.63/3.08 CRDC 2.42/2.37 CMFO 2.12/2.31 FLOW 2.63/2.83 DLGC 3.10/3.11 FCH 2.75/2.75 FVE 3.35/3.19 FBN 2.63/2.70 JRJC 2.80/2.85 KIPS 2.30/3.08 QTWW 3.05/3.23 RDNT 2.63/2.71 ZA 2.77/2.87 There were 3 stopped out positions. The recent volatility has me wondering about original stops and whether they should be increased. Also, should they be different within the sub groups. From July's candidates there were some staggering upside moves quickly ABAT, IRE, KNDI, NFEC, SCEI, VALV, GBE, GRO, CCRT, NEWN, USBI Capturing these high flyers with trailing stop profit orders ensured a tidy profit overall. It seems reasonable that off of ytd lows there will be more of the same notwithstanding a meltdown.I've noticed that the larger the retracement the better the results,so that is another filter to maybe recalibrate. This work in progress has some features I'm sure are flawed and I would like others with a greater understanding to comment on the pros if there are any and the cons which which I'm sure there are many :-) New positions made today; DYAX 1.42 EDAP 2.30 LLEN 3.45 PM .26 SPMD 2.24 TSPT 2.84I I must say I enjoy getting long near the bottom with a HINT of a possible reversal.

Is It True That 90% of Traders Never Make a Dime!
cash123 replied to blindfingers's topic in Beginners Forum
exiting a profitable position too early is not a mistake.I only wish I could do this more often :-). Finetuning often is detrimental to long term profitability imo. Some of the most successful players consistently sell too soon. -
6 Tips to Feel More Alert and Focused During the Trading Day

Absolutely. I believe that is how nature meant it to be. Somehow, our evolution derailed this.Perhaps the 9-5 tedium started us in that direction. -
They Don’t Schedule the Championships in Trading
cash123 replied to zdo's topic in Trading Psychology
zdo: Great analogy. Being "in the zone" where the relevant issues slow down and the brain is better able to filter out noise has it's place in trading. I believe outstanding results in gaming in general has this element present. I know I have felt this rarely while golfing and playing duplicate bridge. I also think your 'championship" is going to present over a lengthy time frame so keep feeling it.On the other side of the coin "hitting the wall" so to speak, will allow noise to become louder and disimprove analysis. -
Is It True That 90% of Traders Never Make a Dime!
cash123 replied to blindfingers's topic in Beginners Forum
Well done guys...this board rocks!!! -
very interesting string; I have in the past had some success at sports wagering specifically NFL. I relocated to LasVegas to pursue this in a serious manner. Becoming a contrarian,was the inevitable result to a modest successful run.Billy Walters amassed the brightest team of programmers and still to this day captures millions of dollars from the market. His focus is on college football and basketball, with game totals, that is over and under game total points scored being his most profitable areas. My experience,other than trying to infiltrate BW inner circle was to learn how to read the market where the sharpest linesmakers worked. No easy chore, what with false moves, traps and misinformation(injuries being the biggest) Similiar to the generalization,of buying when the herd is selling and vicaversa, taking the unpopular side in sports betting is a must first consideration.The public side gets throttled over time( they love the favorites) Roxy Roxborough who by the way has also now retired to Thialand was long considered the holy grail at determining what line should draw equal action thus ensuring a no lose outcome for the house,has told us here that the bias of public perception to the favorites and over ALONE cost the herd 5 percentage pts.and thus reflected this in his opening numbers. I rebalanced my unit size after 33% appreciation in BR and used 1.5% of BR for unit size. I stuck to NFL and this may have been my smartest decision as I had many friends give back their NFL profits trying to capture an edge in NBA.
