    Death throes of the floor

    http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/chi-sun_cry_0325.art0mar25,0,6865292.story?track=mostemailedlink I wonder when the CME will reduce the tick size of the ES? The only reason ES trades in .25 increments while the floor spoos trade in .10 increments is to provide arbitrage opportunities...

    real estate LA - banging my head against the wall

    California has lost its coolness factor. Its becoming Asiafornia. It would not surprise me if a lot of the new innovative companies are started outside of California in the future.

    ES "Too Efficient"

    Does anyone disagree with the following that the pit-es arbitrage and relatively wide spread in the ES causes it to be choppy while trending in comparison to the ER or YM which seem to have intraday moves that are smoother and follow through better? I.E. the ER and YM are more suitable for...

    trend following delusion shattered

    So basically what they are saying is buy the dips of stocks that are trending up. Its funny, there are all kinds of stories of complete idiots who have made money buying dips in rising markets but very few stories about smart guys who have found an "edge" daytrading.

    Stocks are random variables

    Interesting topic an "edge" must then mean that the market behaves in a way that one predicts it will - even for a short period of time. With inside information one is predicting that others will find the information bullish. Sometimes good news is used to dump stock so it doens't always...

    A sense the housing market has bottomed.

    I think you are right on immigration pushing housing demand. There might be a backlash coming in that area. All they need to do is create a digital SSN card and require REAL verification to get a job. Just like verifying when you buy a gun. This will do more to stop illegal immigration...

    Stocks are random variables

    Of course what does "efficient" mean? Does it mean the market does not react the way one predicted it would? Does efficient mean random or is it an irrelevant term to use in describing the market. I suppose if the market were really efficient it would flat line as buyers exactly match...

    low-cost charting software?

    Esignal has an end of day offering for $295 a year. I believe it has the same functionality as the regular esignal but it doesn't work during trading hours. So if you want to look at 6 months of historical data for a 120 minute chart you can do it...

    Stocks are random variables

    Just to be clear, what I am saying is that the market is not completely random because of the upward bias and the fact that it does trend. In addition, the market is not predictable because if it were it would die. In plain English - the market trends, but pullbacks within the trends are...

    ES "Too Efficient"

    I think ES is "noisy" because of the wide spread and the arbitrage between the pit and electronic. As soon as the electronic starts pulling away the pit sells the electronic and buys the pit to bring the indexes together. If you are a short term electronic trader I think you are better off...

    Stocks are random variables

    1.) The stock market has an upward bias due to the increase in money supply year after year to accommodate population growth. 2.) The stock market does trend over periods of time due to supply imbalances - more people are buying than selling etc. 3.) The stock market must exhibit...

    A sense the housing market has bottomed.

    Something else to consider in housing prices is the flow of immigration (legal or not). There might be a trickle-up affect from the demand on low cost housing.

    Intraday trading and release of economic data

    It does seem to go in the direction of the last pattern though whippy and choppy. I usually just sit there and watch.

    I fast during trading hours to keep hungry. Of course this is easier when you trade on west coast hours.

    A sense the housing market has bottomed.

    Housing market could just go sideways for a long time and correct by time instead of price.
