Bravo achilles28!! BRAVO!! Great post and quote!

Raising (aside from normal increases) or eliminating margins is ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. Do you have any idea what eliminating margin trading would do to liquidity? You wanna talk about high prices and quickly!!! We should all be thankful there are speculators. We help to mitigate prices...

I don't advocate paying nothing for the services we receive as citizens of a country, but for them to say "$100 Billion in LOST revenue." What a joke!!! The people "running the show" will continue to spend money unwisely with or without this "Lost revenue." Think about it.....when most...

Let's suppose this is true...... As traders we have to ask, "How can we profit from this?" I don't mean to sound cold, but if "they" are going to do it anyway....... Any thoughts?

I truly appreciate everyone's help and information based on your experience!! Thanks so much!

Thanks Businessman! ROOKIE question alert... I was watching the electronic market during the Open Outcry session (9am-2:30pm EST). I am CST. It doesn't look at though the action has slowed even a little bit at 2:30 EST . Thus, I am adjusting the hours that I want to watch "Per day."...

Thanks Surdo! Not new. I've just never paid close attention to how oil trades.

Electronically would be the chosen method. If you sent a market order ELECTRONICALLY how bad would slippage be? I'm NOT looking at fast markets or extreme situations just typical market order slippage in ELEC. It appears very liquid. Thanks!

For those who trade CL intraday, what slippage do you typically experience on market orders? Also if you use limit orders, what percent typically fill over the long term?

To get down to brass tacks..... To really get any benefits from Test supplementation.....Moderation is key and the feedback loops won't be an issue. Excercise and "stress or strainful" activities will increase Test naturally. This is key for a multitude of benefits. Bottom line.. Just do...

Mokwit, I would say see your doctor. If at 44 you haven't noticed that much due to low test levels you are one lucky SOB! (but a little boost never hurt now, did it?)

Shortie, if you're over 25 see a doctor about Hormone Replacement Therapy. Take a blood test and get a script. The real key is moderation with Testosterone. A small amount every week will raise your levels to high normal levels and not cause you to experience side effects or have to...

I personally want to see as many signals as possible when I test ideas. Sometimes you see something in the data that gives you a clue as to where your ideas may be flawed that you might not see if you only tested one stock or market. I don't know what software you use, but I use...

Dentist007 You had said that you need to choose a box size that captures the VOLATILITY of the instrument. I was thinking that using ATR, H-L, etc. might be a more objective way of determing box size for a given market rather than saying a column is "too high" or "too low". I get the...

Thanks dentist007. Given your reply and not just regarding forex, but any market, would it help to find the Average True Range of the time frame and use that as a GUIDE to selecting box size? Or is that flawed in it's approach?

Any thoughts on Box sizes for the Forex markets? Eur/Usd Usd/Jpy etc. Thanks (Forgive me if this posted before. I read to page 55 and have to leave for a bit)

But the real hard question yet remaining to be answered is what instruments and in what country should one look to for preservation of net worth and purchasing power. Surely not the Us dollar or dollar based assets. [/B] Exactly! I've been in foreign currency for some time and it's been...

If the "free markets" don't take care of this nonsense, the rest of the world will see this house of cards and place massive bets against the US forcing the markets down anyway. The Fed can't prop this thing up forever.

Easy language was pretty easy to learn after I understood what I was actually telling it. I also took a programming course at the Tradestation building in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. The class was worth every penny. Now if I dream up a theory to test I can program it. The other route is to...

Hi Achilles28. It's not a contest link. I was trying to post a screen shot of the March '08 equity report of the account I was telling you about just to show that it is indeed possible to post 1000%+ returns in a month with real money and somewhat prudently. But 1k to 100k in a week, as...
