    The Dreaded NY Markets

    Your post jogged my memory, unfortunately it was 20 years ago and I don't remember some specifics, but I damn sure remember results. At the time I had real time quotes and would phone in orders. I was short gold and the market gapped down, like a stone this day, $3.00 a contract when the...

    Our corrupt moronic "leader"

    When the WTC was attacked I was glad Bush was president and not Gore and especially not Bill and Hillary. As time has passed I think he is a good war time president who has guts and the ability to work within the confines of a democracy. No time now for a wimpy, immoral, political type leader.

    Slick Willie, America's WORST President

    If you're disgusted to be American go live somewhere else and grow up in a society you feel is better. No one could make Clinton look bad, he does a fine job on his own.

    Is Big Brother watching?

    ok..I DON'T get it....citizens are protected BY the Constitution, government IS sworn to uphold the Constitution. If you are a citizen who "doesn't uphold the Constitution" than you must be an alien? Aliens who "threaten the rights of the citizens" are breaking the law. Aliens who don't...

    Is Big Brother watching?

    Went to a graduation last week and a few rows in front of me were 3 arab/muslim people who didn't stand for the national anthem. My first reaction was anger than outrage, you send a family member to be educated in the US, but you show no respect by being seated. They are free to remain seated...

    Is Big Brother watching?

    have come to this conclusion: were citizens allowed to bear arms, the World Trade Centers would probably be standing today Not sure I understand. If citizens carried firearms openly we could have prevented 9/11? Here in the NY,NJ area we have the stickiest gun laws in the nation, only...

    Beyond Level I is finding the inefficient volatility projections and the strategies to exploit them, and that edge is not likely to be found very easily.

    Cathedral Trading VS CBOE

    Desert Trader wrote: I've started keeping a detailed log. Who knows, it may become useful if the exchanges don't rein in their cowboys. Good idea, that's what you need to build a case/argument. For example, 2 weeks ago I was selling 5 options to the bid on the Amex, I don't remember the...

Soon others kamikakes will make you cry and I will laugh again as I did on the 11th of September when the USA expected an attack in Europe, not in the States. Your country is such an egoist...

    Have you ever been threatened by Interactive Brokers ? Yes, we did

    mike-clair wrote=apologies to who? To a people who used the nuclear weapon to kill thousands of Japanese, of Irakis, of Afghans? If there was no Pearl Harbor there would not have been a Hiroshima. If Iraq didn't invade Kuwait and threaten the world's oil supply there wouldn't have been a...

    Have you ever been threatened by Interactive Brokers ? Yes, we did

    You're acting more like a frenchman than an Italian. You're pissed about not getting away with something, but wrong. We may seem arrogant but you're confusing that with being very competitive. Don't be envious, just understand the difference. I'm sure it didn't have anything to do with the...

    RE: Trading the Volatility Cycle

    GATrader: Funny how it always seems to come back to"simple is better", and sticking to the 3:1 appears the best scenario. On a directional trade when you have a large profit there is a benefit to put on other strategies as per Cottle. Thanks for the reply.

    RE: Trading the Volatility Cycle

    GATrader, How will you exit the trade? Will you put on another spread, or use another strategy if you go to May expiration?

    Todd Harrison is returning soon...

    He said in a column that he would not be writing for awhile after 9/11 and he and Jeff B. were looking for a new office. I went on vacation and after a few weeks on returning I started e-mailing the editor asking where he was. Something was up when they took his picture down. After many...

    User-generated stock scans

    At first I thought this thread was about scan writing, but rereading it I see its about scan selections, for swing trades, so for what it's worth: MWY Long-Big volume and run up 21 days ago, consolidating, small gap up Friday, could breakout. THOR For Bottom Pickers-Bowl type...
