I guess your love with oil is over? Now you do remember how you went on and on and on and on about how oil was the best thing since the wheel. :)

That's exactly what Austin is looking for! He can cherry pick the very best of the best trading days. :)

Wow12, you are almost ready to enroll in an Economics program. In your example above, the trader had an economic loss vs a monetary loss. This is important to understand as you pointed out, optimizing your returns is very important. And the allocation of scarce resources is what drives our...

When you are buying AAPL you are shorting the USD. It's AAPL/USD. If I lived in Europe and I bought shares of AAPL, they would be purchasing dollars and selling Euros. Technically speaking you could say they were buying "Apple Dollars" against Euros. When you buy shares of AAPL you...

Thanks Robert. Solid info. For those of you home gamers out there, let me point out a process which led to perhaps info that could lead to a series of productive trades. 1) Collect Data 2) Analyze Data 3) Look for obscure patterns or changes in existing patterns 4) Concept of...

Do they still let you do custom combines where you can determine your own profit goal? If they do, I'm not sure I understand why all the focus on hitting the profit objectives.

Always have an ace up your sleeve don't you King. :)

Yes, I would trade only one lot for the 50k combine. And why on God's green earth would you trade the ES? Ahh, nevermind, we've been through this before. I've seen many traders pass the combine trading 2 lots of oil on 100k combines and no more then 3 lots on 150k with oil. And only 9...

Some of you guys have really read this material and absorbed it well.

Terrible analogy Austin and I love football. Look, I'm not going to beat this into the ground anymore. I was only using you as an example as you did the most number of combines here. I give you props for that.

Typical ET. How can I max out my leverage. You are suppose to have the intelligence to only use the extra contracts when you actually have p&l to work with. Who in their right mind would trade 15 contracts of ANY future contract with a 150k combine. I mean come on man. This is amateur...

You obviously do not know what that term means mathematically speaking. But I don't hold that against you. I think less then 1% of the people here do.

Austin, did I say anything different? I said you repeatedly violated the drawdown limit and you did and re-stated that above. I also said you did not stick to your plan. And you stated that again above. These are the only two things I said about you and essentially repeated them above...

And here you have it: Read my post above and then take a gander at our new contestant for TST. You can't make this shit up. I almost think it's Volente trying to pull a prank. :)

I have only myself to blame. I'll do better next time King. :)

We're pushing through the monthly and QTR A down. Katy bar the doors King!

Hi Robert, I agree with ignl. I think if you wanted to trade those stocks individually and you wanted to look at relative value then that would work. I always like to default the simplicity rule which I think Einstein had a few words to say about that: "Everything should be made as simple...

Nice job Robert. Looks good!

There are several spreads markets. With heating oil and rbob there are exchange listed crack spreads between them and crude oil. They have their own ticker. These are pretty actively traded. Also, the various heating oil and gasoline calendar spreads which also have their own markets...
