I bought a put at 54. I would rather have shorted it but there were no available shares to short. Ever since they made short selling illegal its hard to short a lot of stocks.

I used to long and short AIG all the time too but since they made naked short selling illegal i haven't been able to short AIG. Everytime I try, it tells me that there are no available shares to short. Just curious, how are you still able to short it? There were some others as well like UA and CLR. |

Actually not even a year but since March. I caught the bottom and started investing about a week after the market bottomed. I don't have a particular system, rather I watch how certain stocks "live" and catch a feel for them. I hold some positions, swing trade and day trade. One example is MTL. I have a great feel for what it's going to do. I bought it yestoday at the close (wouldn't recommend doing this unless you are sure of what your doing) and sold it right at the open for a $600 gain. Had I waited 5 minutes I would have made $2000. Regardless, i caught it near the top and shorted it and made another $400. So about $1000 total in 1 hour. What I'm trying to say is that I hop on certain stocks when I think they'll make a move and ride it while I can and then get out. I'm sorry I don't know what DD or sharp ratio is. |

DD stands for Drawdown and it measures the largest decline in assets you’ve had from a peak. Again more info at wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drawdown_(economics) Knowing both of these (along with a bunch of other stats) will allow you to evaluate what is and isn’t working in your trading. |

you hop on stocks when you think they move.... i run algorithmic models that make them move due to the sheer volume traded on my side

can someone explain to me how an individual could ever gain in a system where institutional investors and other market movers so clearly have an advantage?

As far as stats go, I do pay attention to many things but my main tool is technical analysis. So basically I look at charts and make certain evaluations. I don't pay too much attention to fundamentals unless I plan on holding a position for a while. |
