a secondary question would be, say I want to deploy $60,000 towards trading NASDAQ futures. Buy 3 full size NASDAQ-100's or buy 16 E-Mini contracts? which is more bang for buck?

I guess I am a moron or just need more sleep. Can someone help me with this: Trader Jim buys 3 CME Nasdaq 100 contracts in March 2003 at 1100. He holds them until April 2004, selling them at 1450. What (dollar amount) did Jim make? My math is 1450-1100=350 Tick size =...

for a fresh audience, plus this is a "long" question, not a short Happy Trading

You are given 100K cash to invest, and are limited to EITHER QQQQ's or Nasdaq-100 Futures. Your always-correct crystal ball says that it is one month before a new bull market in the NASDAQ, and you want to get positioned. Bull market should last 2+ years. Which one? Why? Which gives...

Wanted some opinions on the below strategy. This can be done with any account balance, but lets say $100,000 cash balance to start. Trader uses below data, and using "best performer for one month" information, keeps his 100K invested in the top 2 performing ETF's at all times. Trader could...

RE http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode31/usc_sec_31_00005312----000-.html Do Hedge Funds and/or Registered Investment Advisors fall under Patriot Act requirements? Is "the industy" going above and beyond what the Patriot Act requires? thanks

I thought August 2005 was "the top" be careful what you ask for, this may just be the beginning hope you are long, not short!

buy all time highs, follow the trend, cut your losses, let winners run but todays generation of day traders chooses other methods... oh well

what the hell do you need all that for? I have made hundreds of thousands trading based on after-the-close information and placing my orders after the close. I have better things to do all day long that look at blinking colors and indicators ???!?!?!?! :confused: :confused:

What newspaper/magazine do you use for investing and market news?

or Waxie, anybody seen him lately? He made his millions and disappeared from the scene on another note, the guys who made the DVD "Bum Fights" are now millionaires, selling their homemade DVD's for like 20 bucks a pop both were 23 when they did it :eek: :eek: :eek:

I see more and more stock "hot tip" sites on the internet, run by people who call themselves "Chief Research Analyst" or "Trading Advisor" etc etc However a check of SEC and NASD databases show no RIA or other certifications.... aren't those sites illegal then? or in America, the land of...

How do you determine the trend? Why? Why Not?

Yes, a touchy subject. It affects the economy and the markets, and is something all traders are affected by to some degree. We all have seen the polls of John Q. Public and what he thinks. Now time to gauge how traders feel (a unique DNA set...) about the war in Iraq.

lots of distribution days in indexes, plus overall fundamental/monetary climate, plus technical indicators

Which to short? Why? SPYders or the mini SP 500 futures contract? (assuming we are seeing the beginning of a new bear market) $50,000 cash account.

If I am holding a short position of UTSI 2000 shares, and the stock gets delisted or trading halts, what now happens to my position (borrowed on margin)

I may short UTSI. It closed at $5.64 today, on huge volume based on SEC investigation. Couple this with a sputtering market, and my short-sell desires are up on this one. Forgive my stupidity, but if I short this and the shares go to zero and get de-listed, or a trading halt occurs, am I...
