It was exciting to be a featured speaker Sunday morning at the NYC Traders' Expo - had a standing-room only crowd (115+ traders), as I revealed top "tape reading" tactics to the traders.

It seems that attendance was up a bit compared to last fall's Vegas show, which was good -- overall I was pleased to see that the vendors didn't seem to be overselling; it was a bit subdued, which was good.

The quality of most of the speakers was good, I liked seeing both familiar faces and new folks presenting.

The quality of the questions that traders are asking is more sophisticated overall, which is positive, meaning many of the "survivors" seem to be asking better technical questions and are working hard to learn trading.

I think it's good that there's a venue where traders can meet up and talk, as well as learn from different people, and each other - that's the biggest plus for me at least, is talking with other traders as well as colleagues to pick up new insights.... the Intershow folks run a superb show, everything worked great (all the a/v, registrations, booths etc), very professional.

Had great conversations with two guys from the NASDAQ (it was neat to be able to see it from my 39th-floor view window at the Marriott), and colleagues and traders. Even did an all-day tour of NYC - it was sobering to see "ground zero", and interesting to see all the sights of Manhattan - it's an exciting place to visit.

hi!!
is anyone going to LA Traders Expo?

I don't think so; I'd been to a few lately in Vegas, they were a lot of fun, I'll probably take a couple of years off now.

p.s. per sec/cftc/ftc regs, none of this is to be construed as trading recommendations, it's just for educational use only, so you can
"peek over my shoulder" to see what I'm doing with some of my trades. See www.daytradingu.com/disclaim.htm for full disclaimer.
These pages contain excerpts of actual trades I've made; it's not a complete record of every single trade I make. Some days I'll take trading wins or losses that I do not take the time to screencap and post online; it's a partial record of some of my trades. Note that I am not making income nor profitability claims of any kind. Most of my personal income comes from my training business, and though I'm a net profitable (small-share, under 5k shares per trade) trader, I am still working to get to where I can make more from my trades than I do from my business training traders. I make money from both. I try to capture the best highlights so you can see practical examples of what I'm trading. No representation is being made that other traders, including customers, will be able to trade like I do. Average/typical trader results are that all traders incur trading losses, since trading is a speculative, high-risk activity.
