Thanks for all the additional responses everyone. I missed out on the action today, as I had other stuff that had to be done today. You married guys know, when the wife says I NEED this done today, you do what you're asked to do. Happy wife = happy life. Hope you all had a good week and enjoy an...

Thanks for all the responses, guys. I appreciate all of you.

Hi guys and ladies, I've become addicted to the Micro ES and NQ. It happened fast. I'm doing 50 to 150 R/T's per day. I'm a former floor trader, and was on the CBOT and CBOE for almost 30 years. My style back then was to always have a core positional trade on while constantly scalping the paper...

Good piece on the Micro's, Peter.

I hope stocks and options treat you better than futures did. Best to you, jmp

Love that return. Whoa.

des, I don't log in a lot, but I enjoy your posts. I spent my career on the CBOT and CBOE and even on the busiest days, we busted balls all day long. You would have fit in perfectly down there man. Don't leave.

jmp470, I ended up going with a firm not mentioned in the thread, and I'm very happy there. If you'd like more info, feel free to drop me a PM. Jack PS...nothing bad to say about either NT or AMP. Both were helpful, professional, and made my trials very easy.

You bet, I traded them for a long time, from inside the OEX pit on the CBOE. We had at least 15 firms that had "flashboys" taking orders for the SPOO via hand signal from OEX pit traders for years. If a big juicy order came into OEX, and I was lucky enough to be first, I'd trade size. Then I'd...

Rest in Peace, Billy. IIRC, he was in the Polaroid Pit in the mid to late 70's. Super nice guy. Edit to add: The Polaroid Pit was action packed back in those days, seriously.

I can't argue with that response at all. I think you're correct. It is sad!

Last I read, Trump has backed off the closing the border thing, again today. It's very strange that this is what the man ran on, and we have such a huge issue at the borders right now. I'm all for legal immigration, but the illegal immigration problem has become a very serious issue. Somethings...

With stores om every other corner, I dunno how they do it. Their mail order pharma biz has grown to be huge. The real concern is that so many of these generics are made in China. Read just the other day, the FDA actually tests just a tiny percentage of these things to make sure they're...

Fibo is waxing my Pinto Wagon in the drive right now. He keeps asking where the S&P is trading? I don't have the heart to tell him, he blew up his SIM account. Meantime, my Pinto is looking PIMP. I need to get some spinners for that whip.
