Absolutely spot on. You get it back by chipping away - hitting for average, bloop singles, just boinking away at it. And then when you do get it back ( and you will ), you chastise yourself subconsciencely for not just dinking away all along and dispense with the nonsense ( the giant position...

All due to federal employees averaging something like $120K per year in salary. Nice. Now that is change we can all believe in.

Well, for a mini-RBOB contract the slippage would be incredibly ridiculous. And using the terms "cheap" and "holding RBOB overnight" are against the law to use in the same post - I mean ... really ?

Look at the CME and Eurex websites under the educational resources section. You should be able to find both white papers in .pdf format as well as some webinars. None are universal, and tend to be quite specific in terms of applicability. Also, please be very, very cautious about mean...

Gambit blew out - they let their faders put on twice the size as the trend followers. In the yield curve. Yikes.

So, does this mean that your strategy is fading markets for mean reversion based upon some sort of 'convergence' , 'mean' or 'fair value' ? From my experience, that is the most prevalent strategy that yields max losing days > max winning days when the trader is adding.

Well, there are two prop business models and they are completely different beasts. As far as I can tell, the equity prop model adds leverage and precious little else, so I could believe the "retail" type of low performance metrics. The futures prop model is a completely different...

Schork Report. Like all really worthwhile reports of value, you have to pay for it. I believe they offer a trial.

This coming from the hypocrite who took money consulting for Enron, and then used his NY Times column to promote Enron's public image. Nice.

If you can avoid repeating mistakes, it is just as good as profit in fact. Do anything you can to preserve your capital while you learn how to survive in the marketplace. Once you learn how to survive, then you learn how to consistently take profits and make a living out of it. I know it...

Joe, that's the one. Thanks.

Your mathematical understanding of percentages ( by definition for a sampling size it is a fraction or ratio of 100 ) is about as accurate as your market commentary.

Liberals cannot, by definition, be biased or rascist. This is clearly Bush's fault.

'Earned American Exceptionalism' Christie's critique of the Obama era. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204226204576599133391442652.html?mod=WSJ_Opinion_LEADTop Incredible Article in the WSJ The fact that this guy gets serious reform results in, of all places - New...

This is more liberal class warfare drivel to justify income redistribution; sic social democracy. Quit making excuses for individual accountability. That's the primary difference between party philosophy these days... To suggest that access to quality food is the reason, is to logically...

"Inciting class warfare as a campaign mantra. - priceless" This entire Obama hypocritical class warfare gambit is shallow and desperate and ultimately ineffectual. In the end, it turns everyone off and accomplishes nothing. Like his Presidency.

So, this must be the jobs bill that Obama has been pushing and that Harry Reid won't bring up. Hell, it took four weeks after the speech was given for the thing to even get written - and Senate Dems do not like what they have seen so far. At least the Green Bay vs. New Orleans Saints season...

Honestly, your posts reflect a serious self-esteem behavioral issue.

If the rest of the world has a fatty fetish for tatooed ghetto material, then by all means let's get this party started. Does this mean they have to give up the welfare checks, WIC checks, subsidized utilities, and public housing ?
