Thanks, man- that is great info. If you haven't figured out by now, I am just curious what the "odds" are on the initial trend(or opening ) are on reversing. Obviously, markets can and do reverse any time they feel like it(sometimes, several times in a day:D ) but I'm just trying to get a...

Excellent- just what I needed ! Thanks, man.

Harrytrader- Thanks for your reply and the link, however when I tried the site all I got was a blank page???? Bob.

O.K.- If the past 3(three) years is a minor(?) correction- I really can't wait to see a major correction:D

Any of you quants out there happen to know these percentages? percent of days(in the past year) where: market opened up and closed up market opened up and closed down market opened down and closed down market opened down and closed up I know, I know, there are other choices...

Any recommendations on books for trading Index Futures, specifically. I have been through(several times :) ) most of the usual suspects, for general trading Reminisces, Douglas, Tharp, Murphy, Elder, Edwards & McGee, Neill, Schabacker, etc., etc. ?? TIA

Just for something to do. . . . . . . .(you'll have to fill all those hours somehow?)

Any of you guys happen to track Avg contracts traded by time of day just as a gauge to activity. I was wondering what the volumes might be at 10.30, 11.30, 2.30, and close. Could be any average, 20 day, 50 day, 90 day, etc. TIA, Bob.

Well, I am a trader and I am from Boston but unfortunately I'm stuck here in London:mad:

Great Chart & thanks for posting- also the explanation @ dacharts.com is also excellent.

Could you be kind enough to provide a brief description of "2B"? Thanx, Bob.

Don't forget London UK, too. I had the first IB outage since about 1 Nov. (Just F.Y.I.) Bob.

I got dropped also- I thought it was my ISP, then I thought it was my computer. It's definitely worrisome. . . . . . . . .(they need to be semi-reliable)

Well, first of all, it is not like ES, liquidity-wise. ES trades hundreds of thousands of contracts- YM trades maybe 30-35000. That having been said, the liquidity is steadily growing, and the spreads narrowing- at least during the actual trading hours. If you are only trying to trade a few...

How can I ever thank-you enough!!!! That is simply outstanding and exactly what I needed to get started(on my business plan not on trading) Have a nice day trading.

I have traded off and on for nearly 10 years as merely a hobby(very small positions) in stocks and commodities- oddly more profitably in commodities & futures than stocks(:confused: ). I never ramped up for a number of various reasons including access to a sufficient starting capital base...

I quite agree- is it even open. . . . . . . . . :confused:

Apparently 8 million Visa/Mastercard accounts were hacked- Anybody have any idea who might process these transactions- none of the stories I read disclosed the third party vendor involved????

I know they have taken some flack but I have had a Dell and it has been flawless(and it was a refurbish- good savings)

NOTHING in the world can take the place of Persistence. Bob.
