Hey ROMAN, Kudos. You're sharing some details about your life & experiences & I'd like to say that's something to be appreciated. Thanks for sharing. My mentor barely graduated from high school...got a 69.5 gpa, they gave him the other half a piont to get rid of him. He intro'd me...

From COMING TO AMERICA: "Alex, your rent's due, MotherF*****! Don't be pulling that Falling Down the stairs $hit!" LOL LOL LOL :D :D :D :D

EVERY PATRIOTIC AMERICAN SHOULD OWN AT LEAST ONE FIREARM & AMMUNITION. A citizen without a firearm is a SUBJECT. Buy 'em! :D :D :D P.S., I'm a registered DEMOCRAT saying this. The dems are DEAD WRONG on gun control. 1/3 American homes owns a firearm; that ratio will only go up!

"The men who can manage men, manage the men who can manage only things; but the men who can manage money, manage ALL." --Will Durant, Lessons of History Central bankers & derivatives traders are @ the top of the economic pyramid. :D

If bernanke & his cronies inflate the hell out of everything, we could see 1100 on S&P. That said, you'll have gold near $1,100, crude near $85 etc. IT'S A WASH! No 'real' gains unless you're a leveraged futures trader. Stock_Paper_Trader, did you crawl out from under your rock...

RCG's a good FCM but I don't think they particularly *want* direct relationships with customers. You may wish to contact them directly. Some FCMs work that way... Consider MF Global or RJO Brien. Both are wonderful FCMs to trade directly with. Like I think you said: All a person...

My thoughts exactly...smacks of desperation. To be fair, some are buying purely b/c of inflation (perceived or real). I think we're gonna see some downside early next week..followed by more buying in oil, stocks & gold. August gold @ $1,000 has the crosshairs on it. DB & JPM would...

"1234? That's the combination on my luggage!" --Rick Moranis, SPACEBALLS!

Most professional traders I know have their accounts directly with the clearing firm; self included. You may wish to consider this avenue. Of course any respectable clearing firm won't give you "$500 margins" for ES.

I would rather have TEN 10-point losers than ONE 100-point loser because... I can swing at NINE more pitches & be more likely to hit some singles or doubles. ;) GL!

Agreed. Fair value's around $35-$45 / bbl. Crude's an investment, like anything else. A common stock can go to ZERO but commodities have intrinsic value & esp. gain favor as the dollar erodes against other currencies. There's no way out of this trap for bernanke. BOND vigilantes...

Anyone else noticing this??? I'm seeing 100-200 on the bid ask at times...where the heck is the liquidity today?

$76 on July9.

Most people on ET are jerks, OP. SOrry to tell you. I actively trade the MINI; sure it's smaller but there's AWESOME LIQUIDITY & I don't get much slippage. There's no leverage advantage as the margin for SP is 5x the margin for ES. I'm a former comm. trader who's taken a great liking...

Your simple, horizontal line is the BEST PLAY on the entire chart! A resistance broke....later became support. Fibs, Pivot points, etc. ARE NOT S/R TRADING. S/R trading is found from ORGANIC MARKET ACTION. I.e., "the chart." Sometimes a bright fellow will PM me something to the...

You watch a lot of faux news, don't you? I've been saying this all along: NK is a much bigger danger than Iran. NK is run by NUTS whereas Iran is run by theologans & politicians...some hardline, some moderate. Osama? Osama was our guy. The highground is to ignore publicly yet...

STRONGLY disagree. Stay away from traditional brokers. FA's don't know anything because their wire house doesn't let them trade (or greatly discourages it). There are some FINE CTAs out there. :cool: Friend, I think you should paper trade for about 12 months & keep your wealth...

+1 I learned to cut losses quickly & well after learning about support & resistance. Before that I was using tech. indicators which required large stops. Letting profits run & not fearing that the trade MAY become a loser is a master skill...for me it was the last one. Being...

I never thought I'd be ASHAMED to be a registered Democrat, but now I am. First we have Republican FACSISTS...now we have Democratic SOCIALISTS... All told, facism is of course, worse; but Obama's reckless spending will cripple our currency, stock markets, or both. :mad: :mad: :mad:

WEEKLY SUPPORT held near 876, basis JUNE. I missed support by one tick, so dont' even ask. >:( ALSO, while the market hovered above key support, a consumer confidence measure came in above market expectations, adding fundmental strength to a technically sound position. 915's the upside...
