Yeah Rocks -- the GLOBEX right out of business!!!! They need to get their infrastructure together to justify their cost at this volume.

Everybody deserves a break once in a while - plus there is only but so much value one can add to a market that is beginning to be overbought (posted) as evidenced by this thread here. :D

Were you able to pull up ES?

This is the type of thread we need here at ET -- there is content, there is positive criticism, maturity ... I think that our thread originator can gleen enough opinions out of the thread to understand that (a) his chosen field will be tough (b) his personal situation is probably at the...

I once read that if you look at trading analytically - it is not that difficult a proposition. And your goal of $800 per day is simple. But add a %&^%$#% human being into the mix, with his/her baggage of emotions, fears, ego, bravado and it is a whole different story I agree that if...

:D ... and I am proud that I chose you as the target of my first bs post. I guess I learn from the best. PSYCH!! Actually - I think you are aight, dude ... even if you do act like my 3 year old...:p

Lobster -- if trading doesn't work out, you need to consider writing a column -- you are gifted:D

I am sure that the statistics show that a majority, or perhaps even an overwhelming majority, fail to consistently succeed in trading. But, think how skewed the numbers are, particularly after the type of markets that existed a few years ago. The overall population of people who engaged in...

Please do tell what you are using -- I am so much in agreement with this pressing need to beat my strategies and the slot machine analogy. I am actually looking to open a second account so that I leave my strageties alone on the first account. Anyone every do that?

Hey, I am in a similar situation, only I learned a programming language - VBA and am an advanced programmer in that language -- only to find that it isn't so strong in the real world. While it is important to know what your ultimate intention is -- are you looking to change careers or do...

But please what about a nice 1-1.5% down day tomorrow -- profit taking, what ever. I feel like I'm in Alice in Wonderland here -- 7 up days in a row after the rally from the beginning of August?? The charts are nice -- they tell both sides of the story -- I see the bull run and the flag...

Aaron D. I see that you are following your primary entry rule of taking the second (retracement) movement but you really need to use the stochastic indicator as the trend indicator more. Clearly the first trade you made was countertrend if you looked at what the stochastics were showing...

With more information there may be help for this problem. Here's some direction - What is the PCI card manufacturer? Are you using their latest drivers or Windows Plug and Play? What operating system? I'd always try to go to the web and get the latest drivers for the video card...

Good thread :p I think that the answer depends on what it is you can personally live with. What is CRITICAL is your ability to handle risk mananagment and be able to stop/scratch any trades where you don't have confirmation from the other timeframes. I kind of picture the timeframes...

Sorry -- "historic" refers back 10 years max.

Does anyone out there trade based on this indicator and what is the concensus opinion on the fact that it is at a historic low. Background: VIX is the Chicago Board Options Exchange's Market Volatility Index -- a key stock market gauge of investor anxiety. High readings show fear, Low...

I have been following the A/D as of late and find it to be much better than OBV in confirming price direction which the different oscillators I use show.

I think the thread is finally hitting the nail on the head. Trading is a business, businesses go through cycles, and, as any of you who have been in business or have read about new businesses, there is a huge failure rate. This is large part due to the large numbers participating in this...

Yes the S&P will reach a new high -- the question is when. Are you saying that the correction has occurred and that the new high will be coming in the next few days?weeks?months? or will we drop down below 965 to a 925-930 level before charging up once again to the 1100s where the next real...

Went short at 991 on the ES and took 989.5 and went to lunch. Wish I had left that position on until I returned (was too scared I might stay around for too many beers) and found the ES had slowly weaned itself down to 986.50 at 1:30. But I am sure it would have been torture to have stayed at...
