His dad probably got pretty rich buying all the Dow stocks over time even at full commission. That's the big picture.

Who's ridiculing you? It seems that most people who replied to you were trying to help you out. It seems that you became very defensive as soon as someone disagreed with your theory on stops and order placement. It was you who introduced the fact that you've been trading for 12 years and trade...

You are Coinz, aka FxSkapler aren't you? I knew it! Nice play there...:)

Your experience is EXTREMELY unusual and not in accordance with industry norms. Your thought process, terminology, and manner of placing orders was/is incorrect. Your broker was simply taking a risk and likely thought that he understood your intentions. It could have backfired on him because he...

Funny thread. Marky is right, Wep is wrong, period. Uniform rules and terminology apply across all products (futures, FX, equities, etc.). A "stop" is the short-handed slang for "stop-loss". The order remains live unless cancelled. A "stop-limit" must be specified. Your broker doesn't care about...

Hey, can I play too? I'm just starting out so maybe you guys can take it easy on me. I just signed up for www.partypoker.com and funded my account with $1000 that i'm thinking of as a tuition cost of learning the game. Skalpz wanna learn together? Let me know if you sign up, we can take some...

I didn't read the book, but, I read the interview. All I can say is that I have sometimes found that people need to be shocking and radical in order to attract attention (and sell books). Most of the time, Occam's Razor applies, no need to get radical with theories. Thanks again, Dave.

It's an interesting study in human nature to observe the "bash the incumbant effect" as a scapegoat for what is presumably people's own shortcomings in life. It happens to every single President, Fed Chairman and public figure that controls some public policy making. It's pretty darn hard to...

Anyone have any insight on this stock?

I think I've seen -200 maybe more. The Dec./Mar spread is not a regular spread that she be traded based upon Fed/interest rate expectations. The Dec. Eurodollar future is influenced a great deal by actual or anticipated year-end funding pressure on banks. Banks are required to hold a certain...

I understand. I don't believe there is anything illegal about running poker bots on these sites and, while Party Poker may be big (rich) enough to police/detect this activity, there are countless other sites popping up that I wouldn't think have the sophistication to stop it. I was reading about...

We're always looking for new strategies, lol :). This is just my side hobby. Playing on Party Poker right now against a bot. Seems becoming more prevelant.

Depends on the quality of the program. If interested, PM me.

Anyone want to write automated poker/trading software?
