ray's, 6th ave just below w4th right next to w4th station entrance. its a hole in the wall, but its gooood imo

where u hear that?

i really like how someone on et recently put it, 'scaling both in and out of positions makes it much easier to be right'. especially if it relieves any part of the psychological burden, this sounds like the right track to follow. good going man v

i use readplease 2003, and i know what you're talking about. in order to get it to pronounce acronyms or tickers as hard vowels, i had to trick it by spelling some things phonetically. for example, "SES" may come out right as "S EE S"

Guys, thanks for the fantastic advice and input on my situation that many of us have faced. Excellent insight: "realise that you are simply exchanging probability of achieving the goal for a reduction in the time taken to get there." Cutten, I think you nailed it with your question...

well, hey, so many ideas come from relentless scouring :) sniffing out good ideas is never time wasted, even on the ones that turn up nothing

plot1(average((upticks-downticks),20)); Interesting concept, on first inspection looks like an interesting relationship to price on a 100 tick. looks like it could be tested for divergences. would be interesting to see a % change for ES up against a % change for the indicator an edge...

why only 4 months of history, what did it do 5 months ago, or 12

I've been scaling up at fixed dollar increments in the account. Currently this is a linear relationship, but i've been realising a desire to decrease risk over time in an asymptotic fashion if growth continues, which is a common preference. If I had 5 million dollars, I wouldnt trade...

I've known that the SIPC doesn't insure futures, but I've never scruitinized the fact that brokers offer zero protection to futures accounts. I'm not surprised, I just never gave it substantial consideration until this interesting confluence of events (futures margin raised on the exchanges...

Is it correct that futures accounts have no cash protection?

thanks tea. yeah, i'm surprised they don't just close at midnight tonight, and reopen at midnight tomorrow. guess i'll be trading in the morning. last time i sat out a holiday (memorial day weekend), i missed out big time. bummer, it forever biased me against taking vacations

only been trading globex for 6 months ... never seen this 11:30 close 6:30 open before. they just seem like strange hours to me, but i see what you mean, these are standard holiday hours

well, i called globex and those are indeed the hours tomorrow. pretty odd if you ask me. not sure about nasdaq bob'o q-you should try harder if you don't mean to sound like an ass, crawl back under that rock dude

http://www.cme.com/trd/calhrs/thanksgiving_2003_holiday_calendar832.html Call me 'special' but I am having some trouble interpreting the holiday hours for index minis on Globex tomorrow. It sounds like globex will take its normal 4:15pm EST-4:30pm EST break today, trade all night, and then...

heya bro. investors are no good, they expect to get paid 80%. i need cold cash to max these bitches out while they're putting out. i'm pretty sure i'm not on the naughty list. compounding is the best gift in the universe if you're listening santa. mrmarket is naughty, hes of no use to me...

I would like an open-ended interest free 250K business loan. santa?

yes, totally. i would never buy a system. my system was a collaborative effort with another trader, and i have studied it every which way i can think of. (not very hard either, conceptually it's pretty simple). my concerns stem from general uncertainty over volatility, changing market...

this topic interests me because i have been trading one fairly simple mechanical system for most of this year and done well with it. my concern is the uncertainty over whether it could either make a small fortune over a period of years, or peter out for good, starting tomorrow. i have several...
