I've seen individuals post links that, once clicked, bring you to a complete Tradestation Performance Report complete with equity graphs and detailed trades lists. This is the same information I can see in my TS platform. How do I go about creating these links? Thanks and Happy...

No brokers to trade stocks right now, only futures. I am looking to use the ETFs as a way to better size my posiitons based upon account equity. Example: If I am trading 5 ES contracts I need a 20% increase in account equity to trade 6 contracts. With the ETFs I can add size with a very...

Do you ever have any problem with odd lot fills? Say for 3574 shares or 2217 as examples? Specifically in the SSO or QLD. How about the SPY or Qs? Thanks

I've done business with www.apmex.com They are in Oklahoma, US, however.

Good question to raise clambill. I'm not sure either way. I have watched it trade and it has been very liquid. So I don't think????? it would be a problem. Is there something about odd lots on ETFs or in general that I am overlooking with respect to liquid trading instruments? If size is...

Has anyone compared the trading of one vs. the other? I ran a couple systems on SSO that I use for ES and, with minor changes, I was able to get very similiar results. My thoughts were that from a money management standpoint, I could scale into SSO much easier and with less granularity...

Touche!

Thank you for contributing so much! J

I will post two links. Make your own assumptions. If you wish to share your view afterwards, please do. Number 1: http://www.pennypresslv.com/Obama's_Use_of_Hidden_Hypnosis_techniques_in_His_Speeches.pdf Number 2: (I don't know how to post the Howard Stearn link concerning the guy who...

Thank you. I thought about that angle and it does make sense. What about the "young", famous, and affluent types?

the seemingly favorite candidate amongst the "famous" wealthy people? Hollywood people, Television people, etc. I would think that "those of means" would tend to side with a more "conservative" mindset....taxes, capital gains, dependence on one's own abilities, self-reliance, etc. I really...

Very nice DT. How do you create that link?

If your base or minimum trading size is 1 contract I will generally be between 1 and 10 times that base trading size with entries. 1 to 5 times is typical. Better risk/reward = more size.

For the past five years Avg. 2.83 (Longs 2.61, Short 3.75) If I cranked up my system and got more aggressive I might see, using historical testing, Avg. 3.11(Longs 2.83, Shorts 4.14) WITHOUT commissions on 1000 total trades. I hope this helps.

Thank you! So take the price of the option * 50 to get the cost? Where does the $50 number derive from? How does this apply to other futures markets Dow, Nas, etc., with reference to the $50 "cost factor"? Thanks again!

With stocks if the option is priced at 5 on the offer and you buy it, it costs you $500 per contract? How does this apply to futures options? How much does an option in this market cost you? Typically with the actual futures contract, the near month is the most active until traders start...

That's pretty funny!! Let's take it a step further.......would anyone care to offer up a price projection for the shiny stuff? No flaming guys it's just opinions!!:D I am not a "bug" of either, but I think silver is set to rise as paper comes back in line with physical and once they...

Care to elaborate? This is one example of the "strange" activity I am referring to. What do you make of it?

Has anyone got any ideas as to why the futures markets have silver trading in the 10-12 range while many if not most silver dealers won't sell or don't have any silver to sell. The ones that will, want 16-21oz saying there is a shortage in the physical markets and mints and such are have...

Has anyone had any with JDFX? What can you tell us? Thanks
