Truff - How about at least detailing the specs of that "professional high end desktop for a home desktop price" so people can have a reasonable idea what your definition of such a system is?

If you don't want to build one, you can get a pretty well loaded Sony Vaio, Systemax, eMachines, or even a Dell for under a grand. If you build a machine youself from components, you can load one up even more (or a comparable one for less). What's your preference? Doesn't make sense to...

Piece of cake - just use a broker like she did who post-assigns the losing side of each trade to a Purdue Chicken trading account.

(whistle) Here sequiter... (whistle) here sequiter... where did you go now...

The US veto is the problem - not the UN Security Council

Why would you assume that?? The CME transmits quotes via multiple facilities. Therefore, the CME can have a disruption in one or more of those transmission paths (or even a part of their market data network) but not all. Hence, those data consumers attached to the disrupted path receive...

Are Connie and Omarosa (from Trumps' The Apprentice) the same person?? You never see them in the same room at the same time ya know. :)

Doesn't seem to have been qcharts - reportedly the CME market data network feed stalled for about 10 minutes starting at 3pm. That seems reasonable since the charts for the YMs did not stall but it looks like all CME data did. Isn't 3pm when the CME shifts some Globex contracts (like EC...

nitro - being buried in the statistics is like not being able to see the forest for the trees. The idea that there can reasonably be "statistical" significance in a market presumes relative stability and rationality of the dynamic structure - which thinly trading markets rarely/if ever have...

You're worrying about something that's so old and now mostly used by retail traders who believe the baloney about the magic numbers being one of the floor trader's great "secrets" - maybe 30 years ago. Which formula you use doesn't matter - they'll all perform only marginally.

All things are relative and subject to personal perspective, but when you're talking about thin liquidity periods, all kinds of goofy (and totally meaningless) stuff can happen. A few hundred contracts at 3am can pretty easily twitch prices +10 on the NQ - then those few watching start...

Looks like you're seeing what you want to see - didn't look like particularly unusual volume and prices the morning zigzagged lower all morning inspite of the imagined intervention. Now, if you suggested buying intervention during lunch near the 1091 intraday support zone - there still wasn't...

It's a great idea - unfortunately if you have several phone extensions it won't quite work as expected. The extension with the blocker won't ring but all the other phones will (at least until the blocker answers and then disconnects the call). Also, since there's no way to force the call to...

Unfortunately, given NASA's recent performance (or lack thereof), they'll probably be announcing that they've lost both Mars rovers - something like having computed the planned course in feet but sent the control program up designated in meters and they ran off the edge of cliffs.

Up 10 points is "vertical"?????????

Of course they exist, just look around - Good - Stargate Command, Starfleet, Dumbledore, the Charmed Ones, Cubs, Paula Abdul Evil - Go'uld, Borg, Voldemort, the Source, Sox, Simon Cowel OK, maybe the last one in each category should be flipped. :)

If it's an "infomercial"ed product/service - chances are it's a PT Barnum baby.

Depends on who/how the cash index is calculated - carrying over the Friday close to the open price is common. However, some quote sources don't record their "open" for the cash index until about 9:45am ET because not all index component stocks open for trading at exactly 9:30am ET...

Looks like only ig0r's happy about the continued killing. Market's not liking it.

They and others (e.g., (not so)wizetrade) are positive proof that P.T. Barnum was absolutely correct - there's a sucker born every minute.
