well, what do you use to BUY futures. US Dollars, and guess who prints those? Doh! Whether you run deficits, or store assets demonated in USD its same thing. (Since you can print as many USD as you need == same thing as deficit). So, in truth, yes the government could store "stock" or any...

to be honest, i dont believe in baclk helicopter theories but I think the govt props up the market, anyone watching major indexes notices how they dont trade (ie breakdown) like many other instruments. (ie they move differently). But more importantly, its cheaper for US govt to prop up the...

maybe GM is going to cut its dividend + insiders know..

bought yhoo today 34.65 stop 34.37, still holding very light dow futures with a stop at 10040, also bought pfe with a stop at 26.80 longside bias but gotta wait for a pump to get going. needs to squeeze or I'm out... rest of my $$ in cash. I'm not heavy any of these.

well, we got the bounce, if we close like this I'll take long side on the daily double bottom for the short squeeze next week to bail out on... i'll go fewer contracts here because I'm countertrending, stop would be low of today with a target of around 1480, so figure right now 3:1, not a great...

well, its blurry here it might breakdown this afternoon and if it doesn't break today I think we get a decent bounce on the dailies. I went a head and covered my position, I ended up out +66 NQ but it took 3weeks. th reason I exited is ebcause if i'm right I think there is anohter 20 pts nq...

i posted this in the other thread but it seems more applicable here...

wannabe, i remember being in your shoes. Whats your money management system, for example after you lose x% of your account do you downsize until you get x% back etc? remember, if you lose 1/2 you have to double your money just to get to breakeven. Its a question of tuition, how much do you...

omg, i was out and about.. my stop was 10165 like in the message, high of that pop was 10165, I cant stop laughing. Man I h8 it when that happens, look at the candles it hit my stop and tanks. How funny is that! (Well, cause its not ur money :D ) neway back for the last hour. lets see if...

ack, i just shorted ym futures at 10140 with a stop at 10165, will move to breakven if I get a decent thrust in my direction or so, otherwise looking for a test of 10000 to cover. I'm trying to be careful now cause low/volume in the dreaded lunchtime hours.. max risk is 1:5.6 what part...

The dreaded H&S! :D

hi in and long, thanks for the nice writing. I use a variety of technicals and oscillators but they are all off the shelf stuff. I use NO fundamental analysis except i look at sector action (ie fi metals or steels are strong etc). I'm short NQ from 1466, so my stop is past breakeven. As...

the problem is cramer is a trader. Remember GERQY? He reguarly changes his mind in 24 hrs. He reversed to a long side bias on stock he had been touting everyone to get out. How you can you track performance like that. He is a trader. however, he says his fund did 25%+ including all fees when he...

hi, im swing trader. I'm heavily short index futures looking for a monster down move over next 3 days. (I'm using the rising vix as portending that the move should be bigger than normal) in the direction of the primary trend, which is down. Swing trading rules!!

hehe john he says he wants to trade the ym, i was looking at youre response with 1 pt stops and 3 pt wins and was like wtf then realized u were talking about es

yes, retired, because we know how "buy and hold" worked out for the internet stock crowd..

its WORSE than THAT he's DEAD Jim! (We come in peace, shoot to kill!)

do they post the actual trades how he did this? I dont see how you can make 700% in 1 week. That seems stupendous, do they let u use intraday margin requirements with overnite positions?
