    SPX Has Topped For The Year Or Pabst Will Leave ET

    This system of which you speak, how can we be sure it's derivation is pure? And please give me a little longer than 0930est. I need time to get to the bank to open 2nd mortgage so I can play this move. So what do you think: interest only or 50 yr ARM?

    WSJ article on Vic

    <i>His fund's gains in recent years "make the people on the other side of my trade envious, and hateful," Mr. Niederhoffer says. "That's what this is all is about."</i> A difficult attitude to bear.

    Beware when trading eCBOT

    Certainly not recommending this in a thin market, but seems like you could place some buy orders where the sell stops are usually located and catch a few quick $$. That's if your limit buy orders ever get executed on the rapid dip.

    Turtle Traders?

    If I understand correctly, and I think I do, Curtis is talking about open profit. The above quote uses "open profit" and "open positions" interchangeably. Not the same. All open positions are not profitable (obviously). When profits accrue on open positions, stops are widened and pyramiding...

    SPX Credit Spread Trader

    Optioncoach: I have a question about risk and how you manage it. You posted on April 13 your position on 500 SPX 1215/1225 bull credit spread. SPX closed at 1289 on that day. Then significant event occurs. S&P only has to drop 5.7% for your position to be negative almost 0.5M. How...

    My Daytrading Method

    Suggestions (prob not even worth $0.02): 1) Agree with last post, paper trade as if real money. Think "It is real money!" It really is in a way b/c this is a step towards making real money. 2) If works and you treat it just like real $$ then trade live with only 1 contract. 3) If...

    Developing a Trading System Step by Step

    Sorry if it sounded like I'm dissin your system; I'm not. I just eyeballed the trades 2001-2005 and the profit looked slim. Heck, famous trend traders like J Henry have had really bad results the last few years. I assume it has been a dry spell for trend trading. I checkeed your previous...

    Developing a Trading System Step by Step

    Looked over your AdapAnalysis worksheet. Let me make sure I've got this straight. This is a regression or counter-trend system? Also appears to be a sort of swing system - always long or short, always in the market, correct? Some futures did well such as C, DX, FX, JY. Others did poorly...

    Starting a Hedge Fund

    Help a novice with some of the lingo please. AUM? What exactly is a "prime" broker? From what I've read they are the large firms that are experienced working with hedge funds. What advantage is there to using these firms vs. a non-prime broker? Say I want to start a small investment...
