LOL. Because your ignorance is so great that its obvious even from here. I can't help but want to save you. :cool:

How does windows powerbasic compare with doing the same thing in C or C++?

sunggong, Adding to what traderdragon said ... in Australia the working poor (my gardner for example) have been encouraged to not only take a loan beyond their means but supplement it by maxing out their credit cards. I would guess that the US is no less capitalist in its endevours to move...

Excellent Wayne

Excellent post QQQBall and presumably you'll trade a little QQQ while you wait. Internet forums are about information, entertainment and expression so (IMHO) let the food fight continue. Cheers :)

Excellent Ripley :) Seriously though. If you had to say what caused you to not make money in the markets could you? PS. Even if you can't, thanks for an excellent thread thats given me great amusement.

At the same time that I laugh at the stupidity of some of this (Australia just raised rates another 1/4% to much wailing and gnashing of teeth despite rates being much lower than they were last time inflation was going well) I do feel sympathy for some of the people involved. Its going to be...

Its something you can make work if it goes with your style. It didn't become the basis of mine but when I think about it my approach isn't so different from some of what he does.

Is there anyone from IB with an interest/understanding of this issue who would like to comment?

And in what way is swearing at a pretender like cscott a perversion? perversion n 1: a curve that reverses the direction of something; "the tendrils of the plant exhibited perversion"; "perversion also shows up in kinky telephone cords" 2: an...

When I looked at them the liquidity and low spread was all well out of the money. Part of the reason its only a 1 pt spread though is that those are cheap options at that point (at least as a futures trader that was my perception).

Pussy is right. A born critic (check out where the wanker started in these forums) who is too busy out granny'ng his grandma to actually trade. Go home and cry to mummy scotty :p :D :p :D :p http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1121834#post1121834

Ignoring all that goes before this post :) Don't bother getting trained in psych as preperation for trading. Its a big subject and the chances are that most of the training will be wasted. Possibly all as its like applying medicine to yourself or being your own lawyer --- you shouldn't do...

LOL not nearly as much as I'd like to be. I think you'd have to ask def about how the truly big boys approach getting filled although you are clearly seeing it in the market anyway. I fill after my trigger ... so I get the trigger to say long and I set a mix of limit orders to get filled...

Only if you expect to do it with a market order ... you can easily fill 10 contracts at a desired price normally (obviously not as it breaks out on its way to the next pause). But I do agree that the "liquidity" of sgxnk is much higher. What is lacking is the gyrations that the hsi does that...

Very poetic porgie ... felt like that on my most undisciplined days too. Language to my liking Ozzy. Don't hold back. Tell it like it fucking is!!! Having just completed my 3rd winning hsi trade in a row (now 5 out of 7 with winners twice the largest loser) and thinking there's maybe one...

Never forget that "where they should be" is wherever current perception is and that the same exuberance that takes them above a "fair value" will take them below it in the other direction. Falling knives are bloody things to catch in any market :)

Guys, its another pissing contest. FWIW illiquid its my observation on any future I've looked at that I can make money with some simple chart patterns. I always have a couple of emas chosen because over long periods of time price (=players) seem to respect them in a statistically...

Why do we get into this stupid et pissing contest. You don't need to do this because my way is better ... my dick is bigger, my sandbox is prettier. There are lots of ways to make money or lose your shirt in the market. What suits one person doesn't suit another. So, knowing that, lets...
