that's one fat finger indeed...according to the afterhours quotes on the Nasdaq website about 40K went off @ 38. Hope no one cleared their position.

wow...did you register just to make that quality post? Hope you stick around and we can continue to bathe in your wisdom. Perhaps we'll be treated to a post that says "me too" next...:p

Now what could be the reason why you haven't posted for a while and then post your best day in probably 2 months :p j/k good job today..looks like you guys didn't get hurt during all the "fun" happening this afternoon.

So was it Swift or your BM? There's a difference and that will happen anywhere in business. Personally, my branch manager has let me try anything I've wanted to. But, as a businessman and entrepreneur, he had to see that I had a plan first and that it was thought through not just slapped...

I totally agree to your point about Miln arbing just being a gimmick and that someday it may disappear and a lot of monkeys who don't know shit about real trading will be out on their asses. They would have to be retarded if they're not saving money/planning for the day when/if that happens if...

Sounds to me like your friend has a case of "I couldn't hack it so I'll bash it" symdrome. Lots of those kinds of people around here. Maybe they could start a support group.

I echo what Szeven and others have been saying. The majority of people aren't "rebate trading" anymore. The company has definately become more diversified and they're getting access to more products/ECNs/Dark books all the time. Soon they'll be starting on Toronto and there's supposed to be...

Good call guys. Clearly my n00bish assumption was incorrect for the time being. Crossing my fingers we'll head higher in the next few weeks so I can get some value out of my paycheque though..LOL. Cheers

oh yes I meant no disrespect by my question. I'm currently on the sidelines just trying to learn get reasons why people are taking the trades they're taking. IMO, while the 1/4 point may already be priced into the market, there is still a LOT of fear/indecision about the 1/2 point. So that and...

just curious on your reasoning behind a short trade on this pair 2 days before a 1/4 point (possible 1/2 point) rate hike for the US fed when the CDN fed is expected to pause

I chose yes but not because of bad trades. I know when I'm wrong and I'll even say to myself..."yup..that was stupid" and I learn from it. But what really gets me going is when shit doesn't work that is supposed to. Like, to echo mnx, stuck orders......level 2 showing levels that aren't...

I'm very interested to hear the feeling of Fed minutes tomorrow. The Canadian Fed sounded very dovish at their last meeting with hints towards a pause at the end of June. If the US Fed implies hawkish towards the June decision I think we could see a pop. *crosses fingers*

I believe this: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=63202 Is an example of what good market commentary/strategy discussion is. Bolter explained everything fully, posted his comments in a timely fashion, and even followed up to questions. No one is expecting people to...

punishment? I would set that as my background as an end of the day reward. I can just hear her saying in her segzy German accent..."good job tiger...now it's just you und me" *fap*

hey...watch what you say about my Silvia...she's mine! ALL MINE!!!

I'm not sure if this is what the other poster was seeing but, from watching the L2 on Friday, although there was heavy selling there was also some instances of very heavy buying. If it would have tanked on lighter volume and not so much tug-of-war we could conclude that the stock may be weak...

Well I'm not a coach or mentor but I can give you a few tidbits that might help. 1)Although I don't know the answer for sure, I'm guessing Market Markers post under their own name so they don't have to wait in line on the ECNs. I notice MM will get hit a lot sometimes even when no ECNs are...

Thanks everyone for your ideas and input. I was just thinking about that last part today Murray and I saw a perfect example; it just didn't seem to want to make the exact 3 points I would have wanted. Well this month is winding down. It looks like I'll start next month. Oh, to answer...

bump..45 views and no one has anything they can lend to the conversation? However, I am just looking for relevant comments :p

Hello everyone, I want to start trading the ES soon using a couple indicators I've found that work fairly well for entries. The purpose of this thread is that I would like to get a consensus of what a realistic stop loss/profit might be for this product. My personal opinion, so far, is that...
