Yes. You should educate yourself first.

How true. Most won't understand...

I don't think you should worry about "getting" your money. IB's universal accounts are completely different than what happened in unsegregated accounts at REFCO. For me (I submitted my withdrawal essentially at the day's low, should of been the perfect tell :) ) If the shit was really hitting...

Well, I must admit. I went ahead and reduced my IB account balances by 2/3rd's. I still have the funds to continue operations at my current levels (position sizes). I made this decision when IBKR was making new all time lows... I had visions of IB/Timberhill blackswan with option...

I would usually agree with this 100%. But, IMO, days like today need creative thinking. Everyone's data looks different to them, and looking at mine it is hard for me to trade what I see. Maybe it is because of my risk controls? As I don't want to sit through 5,6,7+ point spikes to see what i...

Time to start thinking creatively. We all know what seems obvious. BSC, Debt Auctions, FEAR, Friday ... What is the market going to do to try and f'k as many as it can? Maybe a very quick V bottom? Current longs can't be let off the hook, but the so far "obvious" shorts from the AM...

Although an interesting idea, and it essentially has been that way if you think about it: X exports to us; x gets dollars; x invests those dollars. Our Government hopes that they invest back into us. But as their economies advance and mature; they won't have to do that. X is selling to us...

I am not sure if I am reading this right, but I think he was pretty much unemployed with losses racking up in his personal accounts at REFCO, and then MF (who bought REFCO) decided to HIRE him ?? What were they thinking? Before he was hired: "between 2002 and 2005, he reported $90,000 in...

I guess the question is: who is most likely to panic when it does? probably a lot of short term shorts right now. EDIT: SPY doesn't know what to do with her self, no dancing parter.. 500 spy per ES should be close hedge.

Seems to be keying off of WM.

I can only dream ... I guess I need more screen time, or just more ego so I wouldn't give a shit to compliment someone. :p

All hail saliva! :) But seriously that was a difficult hold, I was taken out in that last thrust from 15:15. So you have my props. It takes a good trader to have survived with shorts today. A good example of trading to win, and not trading not to lose.

I like to start praying. Hope works too :D Sorry couldn't resist. For me I have an exit strategy and a Stop Loss. Many times the exit strategy takes me out before the Stop Loss. No questions asked.
