Market-topology.com is the same sight...was able to log onto both today...then clicked on USA under equities markets Mike

Can you say, "Welcome to McDonalds can I help you?" They might have some entry level positions available. LOL! Mike

The two most important factors are having solid trading strategies ( and having more than one is critical, I focus on having a strategy for trading every market that is thrown at me), and the ability to follow my trading plan with focus, discipline, and tenacity. The former is something that is...

I have to agree with lescor on this: He runs his trading as a business and does it very well. Many traders have been able to successfully increase their productivity through the use of automated systems, and/or hiring/training assistants. For me, it has increased my results dramatically...

Boycotting gas for a day will not help anyone, nor will it lower gas prices...Care to explain how creating a 4 billion dollar loss will lower costs. Simple economics explains that if you want prices to be lower you have two options...Increase supply, or decrease demand. It never ceases to...

As i discussed earlier, too many people on here think alike, including the moderators. Here's a thought, why not delete out the links and keep the substance of the post, almost as easy(simple cut and paste)as deleting, but you can still keep the relevant OPG strategy info. Judging by the PM's...

Thanks for the response...I had mistakenly thought that you were moderating this thread. My apologies. Mike

I am not one of don's critics, nor am i one of those traders who changes hats frequently and pops up under a different handle. If you take the time to put on your reading glasses and reread my post you will find that my question was directed at the moderator, since he has the power to remove...

Dave, What happened to the alternate opg strategy that was posted this weekend? Finally, someone comes forward with some new and fresh ideas for trading the open,(maybe not new, but certainly an alternate approach) and because he trades at another firm he is sensored and his post are...

Why don't you give us some feedback on what your doing to get this thread started, then, maybe some others may choose to share some of what they are doing. Quid Pro Quo works for me! Mike

How much $ needed, is relative to the traders ability. When I started, i had $25k seed money, plus living expenses covered for a year. I very quickly lost half of my trading account, and went in search of a mentor. I invested in some education, put in a ton of sweat equity, and today my...

I know lots of people who backtest and develop systems, and not one of them makes any money trading. On the other hand, my actual trades demonstrate that I having many winning strategies, that produce consistent, daily, results. And that is all that really matters! Mike

We have the best country on this earth...as for your bush comments why don't you just zip your pie hole...At least he's not afraid to take a stand and get the job done. Are you still upset that we forced you out 200 years ago? Mike

Pairs trading is dead...Just look at spread charts. There is no mean reversion, they start moving in one direction and continue to do so day after day after day. This makes it nearly impossible to trade pairs and make great money. I think automation and low volatility have taken much of...

Way to go... Tell them like it is! I am tired of hearing the whiners complaining about our national policies. They need to get there facts straight. Let's review what our national policies have done over the past few years. Our national policies donate millions of dollars in food aid to...

TheTraderProfit, My point is that there is little movement in the spreads, and what little movement there it is very difficult to execute and get fills on. Of course, the opg may be the exception but even this is very difficult on all but the most volatile days. I guess if you just invest...

TheTraderProfit, What opportunities do you see in the market today? Where do you think the edge is? Do you think that the risk arb game is dead? Or, is there money to be made there? Mike

Where did you find his course info? I would like to check it out myself. Mike

Fellow traders, The fact is: this is, and remains, a very tradeable market. Not being one to post frequently on ET, I have decided to share my trading results for February, keep in mind that January, December, and November echoed very similar results. The key to trading this market is...

It should be expected that you lose some money as you invest in your learning curve. I lost half of my $25K before I turned it around. For me, getting my account back to my original 25k, seem to take an eternity( acutally only 2 or 3months), after that, my account made a parabolic move...
