    Good to hear from you. I like Gov. Jindal as a future candidate. What do you think of him in the Bayou ?

    Hope you are doing well. Check out the post, Now the hard part begins, and give me your feedback. I had to repost it under OFF TOPIC late today, because they removed the 2008 election column entirely.

    And I think what not will be out of your attention, what looking the last trade you will not see all intraday activity of this players.
    For your trade you need your own method what fit with the time you can spend in the market and your objetives.
    All ideas from profitable players are good because you can test in your trade, but finally the system for you will be probably one what works only for you.
    Sorry if you actually knows all this.

    Off course you can, but of the sucesful players you can see only the last trade and not all your portfolio.
    May be they are sucesful because positions what you can't see and not for the last trade.
    In every case, along the contest, the first places were for the same consistent players, and I hope we can to learn from they about their methods to choice trades.
    Until now I tried, bur I don't receive many useful answers.
    My main trade here was good, but I don't fut all my forces in it because the prizes are only for canadian and american citizens.
    The drawdowns more important what I had were WAVE(~60%), CROX(~60), XJT(~50), and I am still positive ~30%; I was once near to 40% of profit.

    Will be one pleasure to me if you can see anything useful for your trade from me.
    I can answer your questions, but you will need some patience, because my English is not very good.
    At your disposition.

    Hello, Mr. Wakeman. You got that right. You can't long and short on a stock at the same time. I have only one position now - short USO. it's pure computer stuff. Computer don't think, and that's why It shows USO for best position, worst position and last trade on my portfolio overview. Have a nice evening and good luck.
