Whether or not you should short index futures to hedge your portfolio would, I think, really depend on how corrolated it is to the broad market. Otherwise it's really questionable how much of a "hegde" selling an index is going to be. Although you normally pay a premium for futures that is...

Well, apparently the traders there didn't like the draft - so they shut their doors! :D Daniel

Gee, that narrows it down to, ohh, say about 50,000 locations??

Trust me on this one - Bright and Echo are closing doors at their offices all around the country.

I just read Reminiscences of a Stock Operator again for umpteenth time - such a fun book to read - but for the first time since I joined ET. I've got a question I always wondered about that I hope some of the more enlightened souls here may be able to answer. Are the numbers Lefevre talks...

For which there are a couple of things you can do: 1) Have both long and short positions in uncorrolated sectors. 2) Play the smaller cap issues that tend aren't part of any indicies, and don't move with the market as much.

Let me guess....we need...MurreyMath right? Yeah!! There's the answer to all our problems!

i trade 2min charts, (just to be different :D) and also some things off the 5min charts. Holding period between 2-20minutes. I make about 20 trades a day, usually one position at a time, but quite often two.

As if the government is going to ignore the most powerful lobby group in the country.

I was having a discussion with a non-trading friend the other day. I was trying to explain what I think are the important variables in being a profitable trader. I had a bit of trouble explaining a few things from a pure numbers point of view, so since he had his computer nearby I done a...

This is the kind of discussion I was hoping for in the "worst market ever?" thread i started - the "climate" today compared to other "down" periods in history. Here's an editorial from the Atlantic Journal: "The world is too big for us. Too much going on, too many crimes, too much...

Oh absolutely. In fact murreymath, from its inception, has steered toward a wholly integrated synergistic approach between the two hemispheres. I'll briefly outline. Firstly, it's important to remember that the body is divided into by binary math, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 etc. Important...

Hey Sabena, Have you spoken to your friend Fang lately? I'm trying to get in touch with him, but he hasn't been posting much lately. Give him my best.

What, are you serious?? There's much more to it than that Tony. Lemme see if I can help. According to my analysis, you're best off trading it within the 100 Murrey Math Percent Square, although if you're off a little, it's okay. (Remember guys, there are only four squares any market in...

Before I came across ET I had no idea how much bullshit was out there. And just when I thought I'd seen it all, MurreyMath... Here's a line from the website: "Some "gurus" laugh that my Time Reversal (Vertical) Lines are only 75.% accurate...." Gotta luv it! Newbies contemplating...

Rick Santelli....the biggest chump at cnbc

Ahh CNBC...who cares what they say. Surely the only people watching the show during market hours are exactly the ones most unlikely to be swayed by Maria and Co's opinions anyway. ie - us traders! They aint so bad...(only one I can't stand is the totally pointless Rick Santelli) On another...

Yeah, I agree. I often times wish the government would just get lost and stop making it harder for those who know what they're doing to profit from those who don't - but I fear wishful thinking is all it is. For all the talk of "wounded investors" there is still a huge interest in equities...

I think money management, ie, position sizing, is somewhat over-rated. Well, not so much money management itself, just the way that it's talked about, like it's some big complex subject. Given that, Tharp's book, which you've already been directed to, is plenty information on the subject (and...

I don't know anybody trading 8 figures, and I certainly don't know any making triple digit returns. Go back and reread my post. I simply challenged the reasons you proposed for the apparent lack of triple digit 8 figure players, I never actually said it was easy to do - although it might be...
