You might consider taking fewer trades with less sizing and then use wider stops. There is enough "noise" and turbulence in the market where tight stops might not make sense - you are simply not allowing the position to perform as you originally intended. Also, if you are using trailing...

You might consider if your trading frequency and data sampling timeframes are a limiting factor. In other words, are you pre-disposed or biased towards modeling and trading on a high or higher frequency basis ? If so, that could be a limiting factor and by default that might disqualify a...

If someone knew for a fact that their orders were being front run, then they could consistently make money spoofing and picking off whomever was front running them. It's called "flipping" the market. Ever heard of Paul Rotter ?

Where is this bearish warning ? Your position has never been defensible from a technical analysis standpoint. You have no credibility, so please stop further embarassment and chill until this market comes off. Then re-appear and declare victory. Never mind the huge drawdown and terrible timing.

Given GSC's credibility, does it really matter at this point that he admits how spectacularly wrong he has been ? As we continue to rally, his viewpoint will get "longer term" and "bigger picture". After we rally another ten percent, and then finally come off, he can declare victory.

TT supports the exchange-supported spreads, which in MDTrader appear as a single price ladder. You can also use TT software to automatically leg custom spread configurations that you build into AutoSpreader or AutoTrader. Be very careful about exchange message-to-fill ratio policies if you are...

Yes, we need more MBA's in the world. All really good traders and business executives have MBA's. How many unemployed currently hold MBA's would you suppose ?

Getting harder and harder to justify $1800 per month for the Pro License I suppose without it.

I think you have a fair point about getting some mutual reciprocity from serious parties who have something tangible to share. IMO automated pairs trading and arbitrage is a very compelling strategy with broad participation but with piss-poor discussion. Not a sharing, loving feeling perhaps...

I don't think it has anything at all to do with Obama, quite frankly. There is nothing about that administration that would enhance retained earnings unless you are looking for insider sweetheart DOE funding. Chasing yield.

Idiot / Dolt / Last-Word Freak: I'm not particularly bullish or bearish, I just prefer not to argue with the market. My preference is to let the other market participants do the heavy lifting and turn the market - I am perfectly content with trading the same bias with a confirmed trend. I...

So it sounds like your strategy or thought process is strictly contrarian timing, and that you would avoid participation in a hard trending market for a ten percent move in order to choose a place to fade it ? I have been constantly amazed by the human condition when it comes to trading: how...

I have been constantly amazed by the human condition when it comes to trading: how narcissism and ego and emotional gratification conflicts our ability to do the correct thing and achieve financial success. We will literally sell into a freaking freight train in order to say that we are...

This is the definition of a free call ! Short covering and stop running will add fuel. GSC: Where are you emotionally, and how are you dealing with the complete rejection of your posts for the past four months ? Under the waterfall ? Head caught in the megaphone ?

This is the definition of a free call ! Short covering and stop running will add fuel.

GSC is the best fade ever.

Well, shooter, the non-stop flights are all boarding in the morning time. That's right - the non-stops from JFK to SXM have all left for the day. And it is spelled St. Maarten. Tell us more stories.
