    triple low alert

    Nice trade on ELBO, I made about .35 on the opening break above 23 then left it alone. While FHCC did not open like I thought, it provided several good opportunities on the short side. I think it would be very difficult to backtest gap plays like these, because they act different depending...

    triple low alert

    I agree it would be a good idea to post some trading ideas unrelated to futures, but I don't think anyone trades equities anymore. 90% of my trading involves NASDAQ issues which have gapped on news, I was watching ZIGO on Friday, but was uncomfortable with the liquidity. This morning I'll be...

    Nice call Romeo, I guess this is why I stay away from market timing and stick to individual stocks.

    kobe faces life in prison (that's a bit much, imo)

    According to a Sports Illustrade article, the way sex laws are set up in Colorado the sentence for rape is 4 yrs to life, they let you out when they feel you have been rehabilitated. For as long as these sentencing guidelines have been in place nobody has been released in four years. I would...

    How high can the S&P go?

    I am only an intraday trader of equities, so I don't really care where the market is heading longer term, but it seems to me we have had several of these sell the news pullbacks in the last month and every time we are higher a week later. I do not see why it would be any different this time. I...

    Best skiing/mountain biking north america?

    Expensive, but my personal choice is Whistler. You might want to look at the "Best places to live thread," I know of one ETer that lives there part time, Corvus. http://www.whistlerblackcomb.com/cams/

    What do you dislike about trading?

    Worst part is opportunity cost of vacations, while my friends are getting paid for time off, I usually glance at the market while on vacation and think of the missed opportunities. This is a direct result of seeing the market down 500 while I was sitting in an airport in spring of 2000, and...
