Whoa. I'm on record for saying that I didn't think he really traded for a living given his aggressive and derisive posture amongst other traders. But, jeez! at least they could have allowed him to wear his dentures for the mug shot. Even I am feeling a twinge of compassion for him, albeit...

MarkB, thanks for that very thoughtful and detailed recounting. Just to make something in my previous post clear, I never considered you a collaborator of his with any of his schemes. I hope you know that already, but I apologize if it wasn't clear. I've said it before: you're one of the...

I'm curious where "Jab" is now, after all of his loud, distasteful, derisive chortling guest posts on Dennis' blog. Or those whom collaborated with him with his "Trading Rooms" endeavor? Where is "Wan" and the others who were promising this huge new system? curiouser and curiouser.

I'm just sorry Mark got so used in all of this, being one of the few real teachers and analysts who also trade profitably. The red flags were up for me years ago, and I mentioned to a few friends that he swaggered and blustered a bit too much for me to believe he was real. I'm not so...

Who in the hell would want to buy that declasse, garish, grandiose taste-free monstrosity? Seriously, that hulk of a house is frighteningly ghastly. Too bad it now scars the local landscape that would otherwise be beautiful. Is that what has become of the retiree's accounts whom trusted...

i sincerely appreciate your reflections here, as well as look forward to reading more of your thoughts and insights as we close this passing year, and the new year opens and unfolds. your efforts are very gracious. the first paragraph of your new year's post describes my own discoveries...

i had to laugh when i was reading this thread earlier today and authoring my response. i was tempted to deride tampa for his suffering the "riggers" of trading. "riggers"? i imagined some muscled guys clad in striped shirts handling dangerous hardware. it would appear that he retracted his post...

have you anything of real substance to discuss?

i wouldn't take this thread as a referendum on woodie's room so much as an indulgent, seductive plea for attention on tampa's part to gather an audience. and of course, a venue for embittered day traders who may not have yet found their niche. no harm there, and it's fair enough. obviously the...

futurestrader and science_trader, thanks so much for sharing your discussion here. this is an approach about which i have always wondered, but didn't really know where to begin. angela

i did speak with my brokerage this evening. i can place "hidden MIT orders" for trading es with the jpats platform. this means that the order does not leave my platform until that price is traded. my understanding of this is that when the price is bid for a short or asked for a long the order is...

I don't think a chase function is available on this platform or broker, just market, limit, stop, MIT, stop limit. anyway i will find out tomorrow and post. as for my brokerage, they do not list oex on the site, but you can call them. all the contact info is available on the site. and there...

Wally, Thanks, i hadn't thought about Globex rules in addition to the CME. i found this page on the CME site. http://www.cme.com/get/abtglx/enterorder987.html from what i understand, Globex will support a type of MIT (market-limit if touched) with certain front-end systems. and i've no...

i finally found some info on MIT orders for the CME. http://www.cme.com/edu/getstr/clslkord643.html >>> MIT Orders (Market-If-Touched) An MIT order to buy becomes a market order if and when the commodity trades, or is offered, at a specified price or lower; an MIT order to sell becomes a...
