    POLL: Do you principally use a time-based, tick-based, or volume-based chart?

    a pollster asked a passer-by, after a prolonged conversation, "are you just ignorant or appethetic?" the passer-by said: "I don't know, and I don't care" -------- hey, regarding the interval, what one needs to do is remember that whatever the vehicle under discussion (whether...

    Pictures of your trading stations

    have you found that the number - keypad leads to over trading, because of ease of entry and fewer steps to confirm a trade? whether emini trades, or equity trades after all, we're not on the floor of the exchange, handling agency business

    China building Gigantic buses as it forges ahead.

    if you have compliments about the good 'ole US of A, then they are much welcomed. Travel broadens the mind, and from the stories that I continue to hear about the 3rd and 4th world conditions, being worse than reading a novel of fiction or watching one of these Mad Max movies gone wild...

    Don, I am curious, how often do you have to or had to give that speech? Also, you mentioned that your July '10 session was going to discuss the changed environment, your threads also said, you invite back other traders too (i.e. no longer with the Brights), say it isn't so :)

    I have heard other traders describe the same condition as: "with size comes arrogance (of trades)". size in your account, whether equities, futures, currencies, bonds, binaries, etc. allows for an arrogant level of trading where one can either wait out a failed trade, or hold through a...

    High frequency traders literally printing money!!! LITERALLY PRINTING MONEY!!!!

    wow, who would have ever thought that in order to replace and retire all those NYSE Specialists, that modeling and replicating in automation, their collective job process and value-add would be so hard. this was one of the most concise definitions yet of dark pools and the pre-arranged...

    Floored

    I look back with longing eyes at the WTC (World Trade Center) of that movie, and cry, because of what happened nine years ago (Sept 11, 2001). Those days are long gone, and even then, they didn't exist. I knew quite a few well heeled traders, women, men, foreigners, educated, very educated...

    Should I blame my broker?

    1) first question would be: "were there fast market conditions declared at the time of the trade or during the delayed execution and delayed reporting"? 2) yes you should blame your broker, 3) right after you blame your inexperience for having attempted to trade through volitile market...

    Scum at exchanges say, "blow it out yer ..." if you don't like it

    I knew politics were not far behind on this discussion... there was substantial and significant political pressure to "fix this" either way, in the trading group that I participated in on that day, we were discussing that most trades would be busted by the end of the day because too much...

    If you want to fail as a trader, study TA

    a very dul edge at that. one need watch price action and then filter through the rose colored glasses their perspective ... any trader, or company only represents a fraction if not a small percent of participants at that particular vehicle being traded... as such, one need have some...

    The truth about yesterday’s market collapse:

    anyone else notice that the Emini S&P500 contract (ES) did NOT trade in the 16 million range or higher, from what I was told verbally (didn't bother to confirm this) it remained in the 5,000,000 range or there abouts weren't they saying some fat finger trader mistake entering 16 Billion...

    yes you can, and without this digressing into a political partisan worthless discussion, I will say the United States of America]/b] during the last years of the 2nd term of President Clinton. I remember when we launched or relaunched the 30yr TBond under Reagan and went from being a net...

    Extremely Good News for all the losers in trading as well as other fields

    hmmmm, this sounds like another political rant and rave thread, not a logical, educational, beneficial thread about trading or economics. perhaps you might get the participation this thread deserves, if located in the politics forum. perhaps not even there. one thing is certain...

    Alternatives to Prop Firms?

    TSTrades you owe Maverick a brew at the nearest Pub! that was the most honest, advise oriented, balanced realistic response that makes attending these threads worth the bother. Just to sift through all the angst, frustration, anxiety and disgust to find a gem of truth like what he said makes...
