China is actually Enron in disguise, only bigger, much bigger. China’s debt isn’t the problem ft.com It’s important to understand that the problems don’t emerge from the liability side of China’s balance sheets. They emerge from the asset side. That’s because the losses associated with the...

But seriously? Why would a sane person like you literally dump 1000 ES contracts on a whim, without any regard to where the price is trading? I don't think you're such a fool (or maybe you are...I need to think about it :D)

Not a great start for the IPOs that everyone was expecting. Most of the ETFs are down for the day. But it's the first day, give them some slack, huh?

But you were supposed to buy the rumor and sell the news. :)

Short 4816.25 SL 4821.25

Buy low and sell high. Well, duh... :D

I have the downside target at 60. If really bad, then 50.

You have a point, although I'm of the opinion that those 90% aren't just merely exchanging their profits and losses among themselves (because they will all lose eventually). So then who's left, you say? That's right, the remaining 10%. It's those 10% that will set the direction for the market...

And I thought we were talking about bubbles all this time. :rolleyes: Did you even read my previous post?

Because they know the meaning of velocity. Prices tend to go up at a faster clip when it's trading at 375 than at 99.

LOL It really isn't that intimidating. Like I wrote at the outset, if you've never wore a orange jumpsuit and have enough money in the bank, there shouldn't be much to worry about. Who's your broker? Most futures brokers will assist you in the process, so talk to your broker. For ES, you'll...

Which naturally brings up the question: Why does everything line up so perfectly in hindsight? That can't possibly happen out of randomness, right? (So asks our resident stoned philosopher.)

Yeah, you still need to pay for the application fee even if you're leasing. But unless you're flagged for some criminal history, you should be good to go. You also need to show them you have ample supply of funds. (From some AI chatbot) Leasing a CME seat, essentially renting access to trade...

Yes, it is a bubble, so get off your moral high ground and start making money before it pops. Whatever you say, nobody's gonna listen to ya. I've learned that lesson early in my career when I shorted bunch of tech companies during the Internet ga-ga era that I thought were, for the lack of...

Ohhhh, so you trade the "market conditions", eh? :sneaky: Then tell me just how those conditions are formed. Does it form out of thin air?

Man, that is one hideous looking indicator (just kidding). :D It doesn't look like one of them canned indicators. Is it custom made?

Do you believe herd mentality exists in the market? Then you can't say 100% randomness can exist.

Just follow the money.

The prices are rocking higher again. Something must have leaked again (or more likely hacked)...which tells me SEC is on the cusp of making its move. BTW Cboe Says Bitcoin ETFs to Start Trading Thursday (whatever that means).

If the markets are not random, how do you explain why more than 90 percent of traders end up going belly up? That figure has always been consistent. Go figure. :sneaky: So this leads me to believe that the market is random only because 90% of those who ultimately blow up are trading randomly...
