    How the CME’s New Micro E-Mini Futures Might Work to Your Advantage

    There is already enough volume in the micro ES to accommodate a 20-lot and more (the equivalent of a 2-lot in the ES. Of course if you wanted to trade a size half-way between a 2 and 3 lot in the ES, you could trade a 25-lot in the micro). Yes, they will move in sync with the ES as both are...

    Democrats Concerned Trump Wont Accept Results of Election if He Loses

    Ditto that!! Don't have that same sense about Trump, but I could be wrong.

    Trump Increasing Tariffs to 25 %

    You understand, Grasshopper. Time for you to leave. (Isn't it a shame that we poor, clueless traders also have to factor in "mind-fuck-psycho" when putting our money at risk?)

    Trump Increasing Tariffs to 25 %

    Market is open now. Seems some of the players are betting, "it's all fluff and BS... BTFD!!" We'll see.

    Trump Increasing Tariffs to 25 %

    I'm not old enough to recall $500/pt. The new e-micros are what, $5/pt?* Big diff. *Could be thought of as "sucking in the smallest, lowliest, least educated/experienced into the market place.... before the "big smashola". (You know they say.... "won't end until the last $$$ has been sucked...

    Democrats Concerned Trump Wont Accept Results of Election if He Loses

    Actually, that is their plan... and that they be the bosses who run things. :(

    Is buying options a mugs game?

    This could be a thesis topic. And while you can reduce on a percentage basis the obstacles your trade faces if you're an option buyer, your play needs to overcome.... 1. Commission 2. Strike price 3. Spread. Option sellers are betting the market won't move enough in the direction of the...

    Is that buy or sell??

    Trump Increasing Tariffs to 25 %

    Is that going to be under the ticker, "MESM9"? I might run that up on my DOM to see what the volume is going to be like. I remember trading the pit contract SP500 @ $250/pt. The e-mini was a "breath of fresh air" for traders when it came along, but now even it is too big for many players. I...

    How to Draw Fibonacci Circles?

    I wouldn't think of Fib that way, but rather one type of correlation trade. To validate the worth of Fibs, just check the charts. The "Fib retracements" don't always hit on the ratio, but one should consider the zone from "a bit less than 50% to a bit more than 62%". "Counter" reversals occur...

    GUNS!

    That's some kind of shootin'. I was on my HS ROTC rifle team and never saw anyone shoot 100 in off-hand. (Maybe the 10-ring was bigger back in your day? :))

    Trump Increasing Tariffs to 25 %

    Prolly all part of the scheme. 1. Trump says "25% tarriff" 2. Market sells off for a day or two, then 3. Powell gives Trump the 1% rate cut he's been whining for and announces QE4. TO THE MOON!! :)

    Clarida Walks Back Powell's Hawkishness, Assures Market 'Inflation Is Subdued'

    Pathetic! Inflation is hardly "subdued".... only redefined/substituted to look like it's "subdued". Everybody with half-a-brain knows this.

    "Economy is roaring. Time to lower rates" -- Pence

    What? "Spending every dime, for a wonderful time"? ("Puttin' on the Ritz" -- Taco) We should all do a "Thelma and Louise" just so Trump can celebrate the appearance of MAGA? Does Trump not understand the notion of the Roman Candle? Are we ever again going to practice fiscal/monetary...

    I dont want to short TSLA

    All one needs to know about whether or not to short Tesla is in the chart. Whatever, the "why" will be revealed in the fullness of time.

    I dont want to short TSLA

    Get as much $$support as possible from taxpayer subsidies from the government?

    I dont want to short TSLA

    No, I just read the news. Tesla's poor quality has been featured muchly in recent times. You haven't noticed? And recently there have been stories about how polluting EVs are... when you factor in the carbon footprint/environmental impact of manufacturing the batteries, charging them over...
