13:38:04 Kris We should have our upgrade ready soon.
13:37:40 Kris We are replacing the stock box. We used to post in there but the interface was way too slow and cumbersome for us to get ideas out fast enough to trade. For now just slide up the box to show more of the TSA comments.
13:34:26 Kris After you sign in, you will see the link on the left side menu that says "TradeRoom Archives"
13:33:45 Kris I recommend you go in there and review all the trades you can
13:33:09 Kris One of the most valuable parts of the trading room is the archive.
13:32:32 Kris I've experienced the user chat has a short delay but I don't have any delay with the TSA comments I post.
13:28:58 Kris You can also go with a prop firm but they usually want a percentage of your gains
13:27:43 Kris The ones that I've heard are bad are etrade, schwab, fidelity, ameritrade
13:27:13 Kris It cycles Mordacai. I've had good success with all 3, Lightspeed, IB and TS.
13:26:08 Kris It also helps to have a broker that has a good short inventory, as many are finding out
13:25:11 Kris lightspeed, IB, and Tradestation are all low priced and have good execution
13:24:28 Kris that's why it's important to have a very low commission rate
13:24:06 Kris I like to break up my exits into 3 to 4 orders
13:23:45 Kris when you exit a short position, you are covering which means you're buying back the shares you borrowed and sold without owning.
13:22:48 Kris Some of the users who have been in the room a while already have their strategy and know how to manage the trade without any guidance
13:22:09 Kris I will call the entry if I can. Sometimes I'm busy with other trades and I'll miss it.
13:20:12 Kris We try to give a heads up so that it gives you time to get the chart up and your order ready.
13:16:31 Kris Lightspeed has limited integration with Esignal
13:16:03 Kris Currently Ninja doesn't integrate with Lightspeed. Lightspeed would be your trading platform but their charting is lacking.
13:11:11 MKing Ninja-Interactive pricing is close to that as well. basically, anyone here trading these ideas and still using the large major brokerages are probably paying 200-300 per day extra commissions plus the spread and poor execution.
13:09:04 MKing with Lightspeed should be $3-4 one way, averages $6 round trip
13:08:25 MKing Guitar, its a free download. http://www.ninjatrader.com/download-registration
13:07:18 MKing Your commission structure will be much much lower with Ninja-Interactive than Fidelity Active Trader Pro or any one of the large brokers are way too high, slow execution, wrong tools, bad prices
13:06:28 Kris Ninja is worth the investment
13:06:14 Kris it's free for demo trading and charting but you'll need a real time data service.
13:05:56 MKing nice jjammerp, nice to hear
13:05:43 Kris You have to pay for Ninja for live platform integration functionality
13:05:25 MKing Active Trader is awful, one of the worst
13:05:11 MKing can you get Ninja Trader Guitarzan? free download, link it to Interactive Brokers
13:04:31 MKing later guys
13:01:18 Kris If any of you have any questions or need any help, feel free to email me at kris@tradestocksamerica.com
13:01:01 Kris goodnight everyone. great job today. See you all in the morning.
12:56:42 Kris I'm out all MAKO long
12:33:06 MKing GPRO, Gen-Probe moves up following a WSJ story that it may be acquired Shares of Gen-Probe are moving higher following a WSJ story that says Thermo Fisher (TMO), Novartis (NVS), and Life Technologies (LIFE) are interested in Gen-Probe. Note that on April 28 the company said it was pursuing strategic alternatives
12:32:16 MKing late to post but ARBA target 32.60 area, right here
11:42:50 Kris SODA is getting close. If I trade it I'll have a tight stop on it.
11:34:22 MKing soon
11:34:20 MKing should be a 2nd helping short on ARBA son
11:32:23 Kris Have fun on your trip lightning.
11:30:52 MKing consider covering ARBA 33.02 area
11:11:42 MKing watching ARBA, turning over
11:04:35 Kris watching SODA for a short
10:34:59 Kris don't get greed if you were able to get it short. If you get +.15 to +.20 on it, look to cover some and move your stop on the rest.
10:34:37 Kris RMBS needs to break .22
10:28:53 Kris ok, watch RMBS for a short here
10:23:50 Kris RMBS ALERT
10:15:41 Kris lol
10:14:06 Kris he only had 1 share
10:13:58 Kris thanks candelas. too bad brent stopped out at 49.99
10:12:58 Kris queue the duck
10:11:53 Kris if it can clear 51.15 look for 51.85 area as next target
10:11:34 Kris running into resistance here on AFL, this is a good spot to take profit and move up your stop
10:06:21 MKing VRX possible short
09:56:16 Kris have a great day baz6308. See you tomorrow.
09:49:42 Kris lasik rocks
09:39:07 Kris I'm still long half maxbor
09:33:46 Kris looks like it's trying to put in the bottom today, watch for it to clear 15.40 Mordecai
09:32:47 Kris watch SOHU over 85.00
09:30:39 Kris watch for AFL support around 50.00. I might take it as a slow mover off a double bottom.
09:28:40 MKing possible short on NOV
09:24:53 MKing but target gave a decent short around 10:52am eastern time, then a long around 1114am at $49.55, then a short for another 50 cents.
09:23:23 MKing or maybe a trending position in AFL on the short side today.
09:22:52 MKing I'll show you the type of trades i like for this time of day is TGT, Target
09:16:12 MKing no, i wouldn’t like that gecko. I was an advisor for years from early 80's and it is not fun. the compliance, regulation and audits take all the fun out of advising.
09:14:36 Brent lol, I'll leave a couple
09:14:24 MKing catch a bunch of fish Brent, leave some for the Indians!
09:14:12 MKing for an athlete, that’s like working out and doing specific training exercises
09:13:28 Brent alright guys, I'm heading out. Will be back next Wednesday, have a great week. Don't do anything Mitch or Kris wouldn't do
09:13:20 MKing also, try to make a point to learn something new or review something you have been wanting to for a while. I call them study projects. Like on Eastern weekend, that 3 day weekend, i sat and studied about 165 trades, the full round trip trade. Took about 25-30 hours. I put them all on a spreadsheet, studied average profit per trade vs. average loss. I learned a lot
09:09:19 MKing no candles, you are in your prime, by 50 you will be slowing down, a lot
09:08:44 MKing But if you have a really active day with a lot of trade ideas, like today I saw a lot of ideas, and your schedule that day is to trade full time, then go for it and be very active on high quality ideas.
09:08:41 MKing another result that tends to occur is when you do a bunch of hyperactive trading, you tend to get only get part of the potential profit because you are thinking "fast, fast, fast, hurry, hurry, hurry" and you get really sloppy. So my thought life is fewer trades [or whatever I can personally handle and be precise], more percentage profit per trade, and be steady.
09:03:54 MKing but if you are a newer but proficient trader, maybe in your late 30's [in your prime], you can do a bunch of hyper trading but you still lose focus and consistency, especially when Thursday and Friday rolls around. I can do 30-40 trades a day for about 2 days max per week and then I'm useless. The challenge of an older guy is to be too complacent and not be decisive when the time comes to make a move. So you have to be aware of that too.
08:58:19 MKing ok scalpman, turned out what I was thinking on FFIV. I like to pace myself this time of day and wait for good stuff. as you get older and have traded quite a long time, its a lot easier to wait for something good. It results in lower transaction costs [commissions], less frustration, more profit, and a more clear mind.
08:29:37 MKing id rather wait for something better scalpman
08:11:50 MKing no moses, you make decision. set up chart to show indicators. you want me to trade for you or something? lol
08:10:03 MKing you get that AFL moses12?
08:00:17 MKing good eye pow

07:51:33 MKing what price did you buy AGQ ?

06:27:17 MKing hi guys
06:23:55 Brent good morning everyone

13:31:51 Mordecai I know this might sound silly but is there a little time delay when sending messages on here or do most members find the timing perfect. I’m in Montreal and was curious if there may be a delay due to the distance and different country etc
13:16:54 Guitarzan i appreciate your training DVDs Mitch. Know that your prayers are being heard. God is blessing us. Your bad back is on my prayer list.... mine was 100 healed from a car crash after 11 years of daily pain.
13:06:41 Bill THANKS TSA SEE YA tomorrow
13:04:46 mojo Thank you Kris for inviting questions.
13:04:37 Guitarzan Mitch, I’m pretty frustrated with Active Trader. It might be worthwhile for me to switch to Think or Swim (active seems to have no histogram setting on MACD) And suggestions for Canadian friends?
13:03:45 Guitarzan Thanks Kris. Gnite
13:01:49 observer Good night, Kris, MK, traders
