I can't think of any commodity thats not traded electronically - yeh sure some have both pit & electronic sessions but my dope says there is huge volume in electronic. Pit trading is becoming a relic like T-Rex & Gang

Thanks guys - the reality is that the day trading system I have developed if followed with discipline its an absolute winner but once I take a position I lose my head watching the fluctuations up/down like a yoyo. But when long term trading Im the exact opposite I don't flinch a muscle...

I day trade but have never made big money (consistently overtime) when day trading, I have niether lost big money but looking at my results over a 5/7 year period the real winner is the broker. It seems I work for him on day trades. I position/swing trade I'm consistent in making big money...

Open seperate accounts - one for day trading and another for position trading. It helps mentally.

The OP's experience is similar in my early days when I used very tight stops thinking I was preserving capital to fight for another day. I never took a big hit but account equity vanished over time because of stops getting hit often even though I was consistently right about market direction...

people who think you need more than $50k to succesfully trade futures don't know how to trade. people who start with $2K and grow it to $50k know how to trade. its a matter of skill that makes the difference not how much you start with.

mmm - but higher stock prices are not directly or indirectly proportional to real wealth generation. Its an illusion ( im not complaining though this pumping up of stocks) and the Joes & Judies next door do not get any richer either. Its the professional investors assuming they know what they...

Because essentially these are assets that business borrows/uses as working capital - am I wrong to say that the whole idea of QE2 is to provide cheap liquidity to business to boost economy, so how will this work out if business cycle finance yeilds are going through the roof?

10 years and less

To the economic PHD's - so why are short term yeilds skyrocketing in tandem with 30 years. I assume the short term assests are FED target for accumulation and not the long term assets? Has BEN got his maths and theory wrong?

YEH SURE - In the meantime I will give it to you fulltime:D

Since JP Morgan have cornered the market - let the fire works begin. Lets see how they will unwind this position and turn paper profits into real money. Its scandalous that LME allows one player to corner 50% of the market.

Yes Obama's agreement tothe tax cuts with interest and other additional provisons is worth almost $800billion injection. Its another stimulus, different wording.

You can't beat this Obama trend.

He is making us easy money. We love him.:D

Germany lost in Russia because the German military was over-extended on too many fronts not because Russia had superior firepower. In fact German military was against invading Russia it was done only to stroke Hitler's ego. It was more of a tactical blunder going into Russia in the height of the...

Why is big China and North Korea scared to death of just one carrier - i now there are nuclear subs also - but does is it carry enough fire power to dust both China & North Korea?

Why not - if you make your decesions at the End of the Day or End of Week - there is plenty of time to play on ET. Its not everyone who trades in nano-seconds on the emini index casino thus has no time to socialise during so called market hours.

Thats excatly why I said you know the answer. ET is just a medium to pass time. All the items you have listed are the phases that successful self-made traders go through and usually takes 5/6 years to get to point 38 which I guess OddTrader is operating at. :)
