    Deciding when to take profits (I let most of my winners turn into losers)

    Do you actually trade this or is it a program? If all you had to do to make money is write a program to buy when price crosses above 60ema and sell when it crosses below we would all be rich. And why not just program it because a computer would be a lot faster with the trades. I think...

    "free groceries are now being sought by middle-class people"

    I feel like if food prices were low this guy would be a writing a column on how a poor farmer can't afford to send his kids to college. And his ridiculous idea that exxon should pay for people's gas. How about something realistic like less government support for ethanol, which would help...

    Pure Tick Trigger Indicator In Action

    You're an idiot. The distinction between McDonalds and a trading firm is McDonalds *needs* customers to make money, a successful trading firm *doesn't need* customers to make money. Example: Steve Cohen will make a shit-ton of money regardless of how many customers he has. Example 2...

    Exxon thoughts

    Because oil stocks only go up? Last two times exxon was at 95 it fell 11 points, and the second time it fell 17. Also note how I mentioned going long if it broke through 95.

    Exxon thoughts

    I'm not interesting in holding for the long term. I'm thinking about shorting around the previous double top at $95. But on the other hand, if there breaks through $95 there is probably some good upside.

    These kind of Profits CAN'T last!

    I just skimmed this thread, but let's see if I get the general idea. Someone named Spectra charges large amounts of money for a service that takes large risk to make a few ticks on YM futures. And although supposedly running a business, his posts have the maturity, writing ability, and...

    Sorry I phrased that wrong. What I meant to say is why trade futures on the SPY instead of ES?

    How do you get out when you see "fat tail"?

    Well I think he hedged so that maximum possible loss would be 13%. So if the market crashed or something the most he could possibly lose was 13%.
