Is this a hedge fund / commodity pool you've created? It seems there are three "business models" when it comes to commissions: 1) Pay a substantial commission and outright profit from the commissions by having a portion of it paid to you or your management company. 2) Pay a...

Nice commentary, Corallus. Congrats on a positive week. Think of all the fun you got to have, too. :) Thanks for reporting net of commissions. That's the honest way to do it -- honest to us and yourself. Good luck next week. I'm rooting for you!

Is trading keeping you awake at night, Corallus? Is there a way you can set it aside in the evening so you can relax?

Busy day today, Corallus! Looking forward to your commentary...

I was looking for the profittaking to hit in the afternoon also. But it just never did. I have no clue what tomorrow will bring. On the one hand we broke through a lot of overhead resistance today. On the other hand, we're getting pretty extended on the upside.

I recall reading that the CME is considering the feature, but it isn't currently available. I think it would be a great idea. Institutions (or a programmer via the IB API) can already, practically, implement hidden orders with computerized order placement. If the CME added the capability...

I just do the Schindler Fund's taxes myself and have a small local CPA firm do the annual audit. I'm in the Chicago area and would be happy to recommend the CPA. The Schindler Fund is a commodity pool and doesn't trade equities, so we have much simpler taxes than an equity hedge fund...

Yes, the market is still open (unless there is a trading halt, like there could be in the stock indices). Trading can still happen at the limit price but usually the volume comes to a screeching halt. For example, if the fair price for a barrel of oil is $20.00, but the NYMEX market is...

You contradict yourself implicitly... By saying they were "going in the wrong direction" you are implying you think they will keep going in that direction. But then you say it is a random market. In a random market, if a stock has price X (your stop price) then it is unknowable whether it...

Unfortunately no. You are just looking at the endpoint of the stock price's meanderings during your set period of time. During the set period of time some of your stocks are going to wander down to your stop loss price and then come back up again. With your stop loss you will be turning many...

How's it going today, Corallus?

You were trading hundreds of NQ's and ES's at a time, weren't you, Lundy? That must have been a lot of money you fed the beast, hey? I'm looking forward to your lessons. You can learn a heck of a lot more about yourself and trading in times of crisis than in times of bounty.

Looking forward to your end of day commentary, Corallus!

Interesting poll, 0008. Schindler Trading has about $2.5m under management. Like u10307 said, there is a difference between my net worth and how much trading capital I have. :)

You sound like a bachelor, acrary. In my case the "fun things" are: mortgage payment, health insurance, kid's clothes. :)

Nice list of the resource sites, DT-waw! The CBOT has an execellent publication called <a href="http://www.cbot.com/cbot/docs/29062.pdf"> Portfolio Diversification Opportunities: Managed Futures</a> that explains managed futures, what CTAs and CPOs are, etc. You could also include <a...

Keep in mind with this thread that you are going to see mostly profitable traders posting. The chance of a trader posting results is directly proportional to how good those results make the trader look. Most traders are not immune from vanity. And neither am I...Schindler Trading is up...

If you simultaneously sent the following two orders to the market... Buy 1 ES at the market Sell 1 ES at the market ...and the market is currently at a bid of 900.00 and an offer of 900.50, the buy is going to be executed at 900.50 and the sell is going to be executed at 900.00. Your...

Alright. That's it! You're on my ignore list!....kidding.

Was putting "daytrading" and "mourning" in the same sentence a Freudian slip? You do your daytrading in the morning. I do my daytrading and then the mourning. :(
