Ya well thats one way to go about it, Imo you can learn something from everyone so I try and read and watch dvds from many different traders to get new ideas on things. Sykes vids are decent intro's, and IU has seminars every 2 weeks that have brought my trading to a new level. They actually have a free 2 week trial def worth checking out.

Tweetlol, i've read 300-400 books on the market, studied every which way, etc. etc.

it's all a process too improve

i take about 5-7 pages of notes on the market, 5-6 days a week, on a yellow tablet by hand,

i'm learning everyday, lol

[alluprbdy]

Tweetsweet man its a never ending process, right now I just use it as a supplement to income my goal of course is to make it full time, however I'm gonna need to step it up a little for that.

[trip]

Tweetfull time, lol, go work for a hedge fund, you're in jersey man, the center of it all

tell me how what and why about your trades

[alluprbdy]

TweetYa dream job Hedge Fund Manager, however very difficult to get. My cousins Husband is one and makes stupid money. I am primarily a short seller, fav set up being the late day fade w/ break under consolidation. I go long too but just not nearly as successful at that. Trade OTCs for the most part, some nasdaq, almost never am/ex b/c the spreads are usually too big for me. And NYSE you have to deal with too many variables. I like $0.50 to $10 stocks for longs, I'll go up to $30 or so for s/s.

[trip]

Tweetso, u trade one set-up, and out before the close?

hedge fund, go over too businessinsider.com article on working for a hedge fund, how to get in the door, knock the fck on it, trust me it ain't hard
