You've learned well young grasshopper...:)

I'm certain he had the trade on and I'm even more certain that a whole gaggle of ET followers took the trade as well and I would bet dollars to doughnuts they are still short. This is why I think Dave should have been more clear that he is out. I'm sure many stayed short thinking he probably...

Yeah I saw that post, I just wasn't sure if you got filled or not. My back of the napkin math had you short a lot of contracts and I didn't see much fill after your post.

Well, you better make that 25k or 30k. In the equity world you need to have a PDT account. Something also to think about when pitching clients. If they have under 30k they won't be able to do these with most brokerages. BTW, the minimum with Bright now is also higher, closer to 50k...

Maybe you missed the part about 15k retail accounts. I would venture a guess that 80% of Bone's clients have accounts under 100k which is why he is emphasizing the value in margin for futures spreads. And you may have also missed the part of Bone talking about how he does NOT do the mean...

Thank you moderators for finally moving this to chit chat where it belongs. ET just got a small uptick in quality control. There is hope for this site yet.

Thanks Wow. Two things. One, if there is any terminology you don't understand, just ask, I'll be happy to define stuff and if I'm busy I'm sure someone else will jump in. And two, it will help if I understand exactly what it is you are trying to do regarding spreads that way I'll be able to...

Sir Robert, I don't have them. I am sorry. I haven't been updating my sector ETF's the last few months as I have been working on a large project and simply have not had the time. I don't see myself doing updates on them for a while. I'm certain whatever values you have they are absolutely...

One word: don't. Seriously, for one, these simply are not viable in retail accounts. So your obvious audience should be prop firm customers. Don Bright pretty much has this market cornered but even he will tell you that, the only way they made this work is not by cherry picking a spread here...

OK, I stand corrected. I think he is making a mistake using that word and regardless of what the requirements actually are, that is one word you want to avoid under all circumstances in the financial world. I'm surprised he put that in there. There really is no added benefit to him to...

Actually, I don't think that is true. I could be wrong about this, but it is my understanding that the licensing requirement was created to protect the "general public". NOT the professional community. I believe Bone qualifies all his clients to make sure they are not mom and pop or newbie...

That's a lot of downtrends King. I could have closed my eyes and picked any one of them eh? :D

LOL. Oh, you two really did have a "date" planned. I thought you guys were kidding about that. Time for me to exit stage left. :)

Well, being that I never voted for the party, I'm not sure I can provide much hope. I couldn't even vote for Pabst (lived out of his district). OK, thought I missed something personal between the two of you. LOL. All it takes on this site is one comment for someone to go medieval on...

Luke, how did you piss Atticus off? LOL. And Atty, why the hate for Luke? I haven't been down here in awhile but this place really does go through some production changes. :)

I have not seen any previous threads so if the thread topic was already started, that's my bad. I don't know why you think this thread would be feeding the trolls. The trolls usually don't read wall street news.

Oh stop. ET is one big circus act. I do find these events rather interesting when they cluster. I'm fully aware the media is data mining at this point searching these events out making them look more frequent then they probably are. But the latest round of suicides do have a particular lack...

Unfortunately statistics are domain dependent and therein lies your rub.

OK, let me throw you another bone here. Just trying to be a value add here. The NG market has gone through dramatic changes the last 5 years and the market fundamentally changed. I think you need to take that into consideration. When looking at historical stock data this is not so much a...
