    Bond Trading

    You cannot trade the bonds like the E-minis i.e. it's very difficult to fade the top/bottom and scalp for a few points, because you won't be the first in line for being filled. If you go contrarian and got filled, most likely it's for a good reason. Go with the trend. Comparing to the...

    1 min emini indicators

    If we consider 1 to 2 pt (and more) on the mini Nas as noise, statistically speaking, this may work ! Cutting 1 pt loss, taking 2 pt profit, and slightly bend the probability to the winning side with some set indicators, also need some strategicallly placed hot keys. The problem is at the...

    ATI RADEON 9700 PRO ... anyone???

    If Radeon Pro 9700 is like the Radeaon serie 7500/8500/9000, you could connect 2 CRT monitors with an adapter included with the retail box (not OEM). It is the All In Wonder Radeon serie that you cannot connect 2 CRT monitors. BTW, the 9700 is the most $$ video card in the market now, it...

    Ross Hooks

    I have to agree with Markus. I've read JR's book 'Trading by The Book' , and really like it. (i didn't fork out 150$, my friend did :D ). We all trade in different ways, one strategy may work for one, but does not work for others. Many thanks to Dottom for the very intersting infos...

    lol :D Usually, keyboard online traders trade on 'old' around lunch time. You could wait for the last guy to enter his online market order while finishing his baloney sandwich before going back to work, and short the stock. :p

    The T-Notes futures confused me

    also notice the price is in fraction of 32th, and not decimal, i.e. 1/10. e.g : 112'09.0 is 112 + 9/32 1 tick = 0.5/32 = 15.62$ e.g. 112'31.0 + 1 tick = 112'31.5 + 1 tick = 113'00.0 Cheers!! :)

    Identfiy Ourselves

    Maybe Mike Dell misunderstood the 'Hardware' section . In this section, we ask questions about computer hardwares, nothing to do with trading and/or which firm we trade. If I understand Mike's question which is that we identify ourself as retail trader, or prop trader for which...
