Does it effect your Long Term Investments?………Do Day Traders?
Who benefited from the "Flash Crash" and who were hurt?…If you believe like me that, it wasn,t an accident…A Guest Broker on CNBC mentioned that it Cleaned Out Momentum Traders….If Momentum Traders were patience, they could,ve bought back their stocks a couple of days ago for less than they were stopped out at?
Hi
My personal experience has been very bad, in spite of paying a lot of money and learning dozens of different strategies.
If you fit into the criteria listed (i.e. you’ve been trading / investing successfully for over a decade), i would like to ask if your ROI has exceeded the ^DJI over that time frame.
If it has, what kind of returns have you been making?
Honest answers please. Too many crooked salesman are out there making trading sound like a breeze. I’ve done a crap-ton of financial modelling, dcf, fcff, fcfe, momentum and trend trading strats and at the end, i realize now that it may all have been for naught.
I would know enough to conduct a seminar on financial modelling and technical analysis, but in the end, i would not believe in a word myself.
If the recent run up on oil company stocks is caused by momentum, what are the chances that prices will fall once the exuberance is over?
(yahoo finance 10-17)
Many analysts believe speculative investing is the real culprit behind oil’s 11 percent rally over the last week, arguing that supply and demand fundamentals do not support prices near a barrel. Traders see technical signs in the differences between current and future oil contracts that suggest money continues to be plowed into oil futures. Those signals spark new buying that pushes prices even higher.
"I think the market has been trading on momentum," said Antoine Halff, head of energy research at Fimat USA LLC.
Buy or Sell- Telecom stocks
Buy or Sell- Telecom stocks
Telecom sector has been into a lot of news these days. One is the 3G auction which is finally taking off and the other is Bharti’sacquisition of Zain.
With all such market buzz, does it make sense to accumulate telecom stocks?
The sector still needs to witness some consolidation and we might see that process starting this [...]

Markets have been showing a great deal of resilience in the last few weeks and Indian indices outperformed their global peers by a margin last week.
I see a lot of momentum building up in select midcaps and small caps. Take an example of Hanung Toys which I had written about 1 week back when the [...]

NIFTY Outlook
In my last post, I had indicated how markets are looking bullish in the short term due to prevailing scepticism in the market. The left out junta is again waiting for a deep correction and true its character, the market is not providing that opportunity. 5300 is one level a lot of traders would be [...]

Bulls are back!
Bulls are back!
Markets have been trending up nicely and bulls are in firm control of these markets. What is more encouraging for the bulls is the fact that many players had either booked profits before the budget or had gone short in anticipation of fiscal stimulus. Now most of such players are in the “left out” or [...]

Have the bulls returned?
Have the bulls returned?
As written in my earlier post, a trade above 4900 has the probability of hitting 5000 on the NIFTY. Does this indicate that the bulls have taken hold of the markets, once again?
This looks very likely although there are still some hurdles that need to be crossed. The first resistance is 5050-5100 which can invite [...]

Budget Day Today!
In the short term NIFTY is currently in a downward trend although medium trm trend is sideways and longer term trend is bullish.
This means that short term traders can go long only when NIFTY trades above 4900 for short term targets of 5000 and beyond. Medium term traders would do best to stay on the [...]
I understand that no sole indicator is accurate and that combinations of indicators are used in conjunction for maximum accuracy however which ones? Could someone tell me a list of combinations? I already know Bollinger is used with oscillators like RSI, momentum, and Cash Flow. But
what about MACD and moving average envelopes or PSAR?
And a few more others perhaps?
When placing a trailing stop on Schwab.com’s trader device, it says that the trailing stop should be more than the stop loss order.
This confuses me. I thought trailing stops were meant to keep you safe from gaps by selling when the momentum is pushing your stock in the wrong direction. Ex: the stop loss order is set for , and you bought it at , but that day the stock dropped from to . If you had a trailing stop of 5% I thought it would sell at .25, rather than waiting for your stop loss order to kick in at .
Am I wrong? or is Schwab?
i am not asking about the blind efficient market followers, nor am i talking to the momentum day traders…
any value investors out there, which investors do you study and read up on?
excluding the ones i have already read extensively on:
warren buffett
benjamin graham
phillip fisher
charlie munger
peter lynch
are there any books you would recommend?
Or is it wrong to think that discount brokers can satisfy these interests.
Is it true that brokers have different execution speeds for placing orders?
I enjoy momentum speculation and trading within a 7 day time frame, I seem to do well on the simulation programs.
I plan to start with ,000 with 0 plus per month additional capital.
there are so many different reviews when i google this topic.
