    Index trading at 350pm

    Should have kept this personal. Whatever cred you had as a trader, lost some of it with this revelation.

    Index trading at 350pm

    It's not just "earnings season"... includes late-day liquidity for MOC orders beyond earnings.

    Index trading at 350pm

    More than that, even.

    Index trading at 350pm

    Trading the index futures in the late day and early after-market has become a "thing". We traders should all be paying attention for it. (Yesterday the ES rallied 30 points above fair value after the 4:00 PM NYSE close, but gave it all back and more before the NY open. Good traders would be...

    30,000,000+ unemployed in only 6 weeks!

    Some say the actual number is closer to 50 Million... as many have been unable to "get through" online/phone to claim benefits. (Good thing the stock market is soaring, eh?)

    If market is forward looking, why does it ever go down?

    'Cause "shit happens". (That would make a good bumper sticker!) :)

    Objective vs Subjective: Trading Performance Affects my Mood Too Much

    Reference to "why" isn't about "why the market is going _______". The why is your reason for the play.

    Forbes: Outrageous Illinois Public Employee Salaries

    Greedy Illinois politicos F'd state citizens every which-away to garner political favor. In NO WAY does the state deserve a bail-out from other taxpayers. !! Some Illinois public employees are lined-up to receive $300,000/yr in retirement (plus whatever in state-paid health insurance...

    Objective vs Subjective: Trading Performance Affects my Mood Too Much

    If you don't KNOW why you should PROBABLY make a play, then you've got work to do before risking capital. If you make an intelligent play and it goes wrong... that's what stops are for. Making an intelligent play that doesn't work out is not the same as "making a dumb play and hoping you 'get...

    Speaking of whiskey.... ever get your hands on a bottle of George T. Stagg? Great stuff if you can find some. (Limited production each year.)

    Tax return

    If you can use Turbo Tax, it will download your trade activity from your broker and put it into a form the revenooers will accept..... waaaaay better than hand-entering every trade... whether you do it or pay someone to do it for you.
