Well, perhaps you are accustomed to some feminine-style man who backs down from your challenge of real performance proof. I offered it. You wimped out. Simple. As stated, the YM is not the vehicle for large returns. I can see you need some help with simple arithmetic, bumpkin. 173 YM points...

Yep, that YM is nice for newbies, and old farts like you who post almost as often as you wire more funds to your broker. But 1200 YM a month doesn't cut it. And just for you, little one, 1200 YM is $6k, not $1200 as you guessed. Newbie error, I know. I forgive you. Perhaps you missed it last...

That's what you do, oh wiseass one, when you try out a new system in cash... you start small and in a light instrument. Obviously I am back to what works well for me. Any other large pieces of furniture you wish to choke on at this time, or do you think it prudent to shut up?

If wealth is held or invested in negotiable instruments, that wealth may increase or decrease, without action of the holder/investor. If the worth of those instruments decreases to zero, so does the purchasing power of that wealth. Unlike energy, which may change forms but still remain energy...

Richard, Still have not heard from you regarding trading the ES with you.

Sounds like you've already hit the big time, Joe. If so, why are you sitting at home poking around ET on a Friday night, when I know at least a dozen places to go in Miami for a good time? He who is wise will not criticize when other men fail at the game, unless they reject wisdom. Better check...

Of course I am not joking. Been trading with $300-$500 margin for years without even one margin call. It's called profitable systems with hard stops.

Am taking some time off for family. Look forward to seeing you all in 2009.

Whenever I get bored with trading, I take a drive down Seattle's skid row, then drive by the unemployment office, then drive by a construction site, and finally call a friend who is going through bankruptcy. That usually makes me more thankful and shakes the boredom off. If that doesn't work, I...

How much does the 'morning person' factor enter in? I know that I am a morning person and I don't mind rising at 6am for the open, but I suppose some folks are either naturally or decidedly not morning people. I have traded from a dozen time zones, and can do well anywhere between 6am and...

Oh sure, I believe you. Our leaders gave you carte blanch to spend as you saw fit, and we asked for no documentation. Why would we even question you, the ones who have been entrusted with a million dollars of debt for every middle-class working and taxpaying adult American? Why would we ever...

... unless they learn in public school about values clarification and decide their parents arent worth taking care of when they are no longer productive.

Welcome to the wonderful world of IB customer support.

OK, there was no visible execution difference between IB cash vs. IB sim, on my system. The timestamps also match. The video card could be the problem. Try uninstalling the device, then letting the OS auto detect it again. Make sure your drivers are current. You owe me a pizza for the cash...

More buyers than sellers is true, but incomplete. I would add more market orders and larger size during the price increments that market orders inspire, especially in panic buying to get a seat on the train.

Küssen Sie meinen Kolbenidioten! :D ¡Bese a mi idiota del extremo!

Yep, he sounds like a buy-and-hold kind of guy. Good luck to him on that, the market is not right for holding anything right now.

I love fire sales, but I wouldn't live in Florida weather for longer than a week... even in the Winter.

Are you addressing trading or investing? Both words were in your post, and they are at opposite ends of the market.

I could tell you, but then I would have to kill you.
