There are 45 different time frames she is working with here. I'm sure one of them is short. :)

Market making left stocks years ago. We have ECN's now. Those bids and offers are mostly customer orders and HFT.

I'm really curious about something. What are you guys hoping to find or learn when you attend of these seminars or webinars? I mean there is so much free info on the internet and some of the content is outstanding. What exactly do you "think" is going to happen? What does common sense tell...

So remember what I said about the market re-testing levels. Well, we are there in the Russell. At the monthly A down and at the top of the QTR A up. This is the make or break level. If the Russell cracks, the spoos will absolutely test that 1775 level and more then likely tag 1725.

Someone sent me this link and I find the data very interesting. This is for the FX traders on the thread. http://www.dailyfx.com/forex/technical/article/special_report/2011/12/12/When_is_the_Best_Time_of_Day_to_Trade_Forex.html

The numbers to watch on the downside are 1775 which is the monthly A down which we bounced off of to the handle of course the first time. And a re-test of the QTR A up around 1725. On the upside, the monthly A up is around 1831. And more shorter term, the weekly levels are 1800 and 1817...

This is the 30 day number line. Here is a little trivia for you guys. The ES has only twice all year been in a confirmed negative 30 day number line and both were short lived at 12 and 14 days. That's impressive.

Just a warning, spoos getting awfully close to confirming on the downside.

Huh? WTF are you rambling about? And what does this have to do with natural gas?

Just wanted to point out, that ISEE spike we had over a week ago. Pretty much a dud.

Losing trades get thrown out of the model. Model only reports winners. :)

Here you go champ!

TJ, tell me what your model says about this: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=221311 Can you "time" it? :)

TJ, you really are clueless here. First of all, we don't even get most of our OIL from the middle east. Only about 15% to 20% of our supply comes from the middle east. Second, we are flooded with nat gas. Price is NOT going higher. The forward curve has been flattening big time. And...

Tom, I'm not sure buying long term calls is going to get what you want. The fact of the matter is, natural gas has to be traded, not invested in. There are some MLP's you can puchase that spit out the dividend cash flow from various pipeline companies. That might be your best bet. But there...

You do know that nat gas prices are driven by supply constraints right? Not world supplies. It's very expensive to store nat gas. It has to be used. It's not like oil. The world IS flush with natural gas. But it cost money to move through various pipelines and it's restricted by capacity...

I know Dan's story pretty well. The thing is, the guy doesn't trade a lot of positions, so he is highly concentrated. Two, he gets involved at the "beginning" of moves. If you are going to trade size, this is the safest place to do it. When something is breaking out of a long term base...

Sorry for the long delay here, I'm re-doing a few things on my number lines. I'll get back to you on that. The key takeaway was the monthly confirm on the 3rd day of the month. Remember what I said earlier about the timing of the signals. Very important.

I was answering two different questions. One, if he was completely margining his position, and two if he was not. And he never asked if he could hold 200k of spy intra-day. He asked how much he could daytrade IF he held 50k worth of spy long term in which you responded 200k which is not...

If he has a 50k account he starts off with 200k in buying power for daytrading. But he is using 50k for his long spy position. From that, 25k comes out of cash and 25k out of margin leaving him with 150k. He can't possibly have 200k as you suggest as he is holding 50k worth of spys.
