ddefina, Just curious, I noticed on your post on p.10 of this thread that you signed off as "Rabbi C". This means that you are a rabbi, no? regarding the Biblical quote: while these words resonate, and certainly seem relevant or at least curiously coincidental, i also think it is true that...

FWIW (and frankly, i don't know what it's worth! but the words are somewhat eerie considering modern history), here is an excerpt from another article by the author (Joseph Farah) that zboy linked to: "And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden...

zboy, good article also, grabbit thanks for the pix links

i disagree and would hope that this thread stands. there is no trading and the topic of this thread is the event which temporarily halted trading, so this thread is relevant...participation is voluntary of course i am not pro/con arab or jew (or christian, for that matter) but I do think the...

by vvv: "...until somebody is wise enough to try and finally fight the real underlying causes" the problem is that the underlying causes become lost and forgotten. (some) people only remember the last event and respond as if that event was totally unwarranted when people lose their loved...

Mugshot, it takes a lot of guts to say that. i agree with your sentiment although i don't think we should completely cut ties - just treat Isreal as any other ally i am also concerned about Israeli special interests' great power to manipulate our government

candletrader and praetorian2, IMHO, you both could not be more wrong We should annhialate 7 nations? We should blindly bomb innocent people? I am shocked that any intelligent person could see this as a solution or a resolution. This kind of thinking is EXACTLY what caused this most recent...

vvv, i appreciate your words of wisdom. the attacks on the WTC and the Pentagon were abominable acts but i think the key point to understand is that this event is nothing more than the most recent manifestation of a cycle of violence which has been perpetuating for years/decades/centuries...

panic leads to even more irrational behaviour what kind of "ramifications" are you expecting? today's events are a terrible catastrophe, but it's over our government and our financial systems are intact (as are those of other nations), it would require much, much more than the loss of...

i agree with the comments above by Turok and Cdntrader

tymjr, No need for you to apologize. It was my mistake. I misinterpreted a comment in your post and responded with a long post in which I attempted to expound upon a subtle point. Even though I now realize that it was not necessary for me to respond, I do wish that you had seen my...

This thread contains useful information. However, and I will take the blame, the last few posts (of mine) add little that could be considered useful to traders seeking knowledge regarding the original topic: NQ, QQQ, and COMP. So, in the interest of cleaning up this thread for future...

trader88, my experience FWIW.... i have two connections: 128K ISDN and cable. i use cable for data and ISDN for orders. i have experimented with using ISND for data and this is what i found... i can run many (@ 12 or so ) charts along with L2 , T&S etc on ISDN with pretty much the same...

tymjr: 'Unless you are receiving “fast” cash index quotes some vendors are quoting the indexes at about 1-print/15 secs. The “fast” cash quote jumps around as fast as the Mini.' are the cash index quotes referred to the SP & ND? and if so, are these the ones which should be of the...

this is off topic (but hey, it's my thread!) when trading the NQ, how does one get clues as to what it will do next, since there is no leading indicator for it?

timing wise, where would QQQ fit in ? somewhere between the NQ and COMP ?

now we're gettin' somewhere! i did not realize that the comp lagged by even 1 second, let alone up to 60 seconds!!! yes, i should not be trading without watching the futures - thanks all...:D

Dustin, thanks for responding... i understand the sequence of events, what i don't know is the actual amount of time involved for that sequence to play out any opinion on how much, approximately, NQ leads COMP?

My data provider, QQL, does not have the e-minis. It does have QQQ and COMP. I have been watching COMP, how much of a difference would I see if I start using NQ? Does NQ lead COMP noticably? What time increment are we talking here: miliseconds? 1 second? 5 seconds?.... thanks in advance

Regarding whether the unsophisticated investors increase market inefficiency - to a very small degree they may, IMO. Being vulnerable to manipulations of analysts, CNBC appearances by CEO's, etc. and possibly not understanding pro-forma earnings - reacting to things that more experienced...
