No, it's not even close. It's because HALF of the stocks used to calculate $RUT probably trade once every 5 minutes on average!

This is like...newbie error 101! That's virtually impossible. May have worked 4-5 years ago. Not today. At least not for daytrading purposes, anyway.

Atomic, good for you. Just put the lousy $10k in some mutual fund and forget about all this trading bullshit. Virtually 90% of the posters here lose money, so how would you be any different?! The other 10% aren't going to reveal jackshit to you, so don't even bother.

Where are you moving from and how do you like it so far?

First of all, EW does NOT work. 2nd, it was ''developed'' in theory to ONLY work on the Dow, nowhere else! 3rd, only crooked vendors and other scam artists keep pushing it into other/all markets, trying to scam as many newbies or other losers. 4th, any IDIOT who thinks it works is just...

Sounds pretty stupid. Like...if I can drive at 100mph, I'm pretty sure I can achieve 101mph soon. Duh!

So....what exactly are you bringing to the table besides some math degree?

A *LOT* of quotes on many stocks were crossed today. Yeah, very suspicious alright!

If you buy cheap junk to begin with, then yeah.

I'd be interested in knowing how any unattended ATS handles bad ticks, busted trades and ''fat finger'' type market errors.

1/10 of a ms! what a bunch of BS.

A lot of China scams coming up asap.

I looked at some etf's a while back on Euronext and the bid-ask spread was lousy. Unless you held it for days, it wouldn't make sense. I suspect it's probably the same with this. Anyway, nowadays whenever these big and well-capitalized crooks...err brokers promote and make these etf's available...

Actually, it depends on one's particular strategy. I've had as many as 500 open positions on at a time.

So, you're saying that was a position you held from Friday?

RAID1+ a 3rd HD in each computer has proven a good investment so far.

I totally agree with this part and I'm not advocating protecting their ass. But at the same time, you can' be awarding $250 mil per plaintiff. There would soon be no drug industry left. There is a *need* for good, honest pharmaceutical business/research.

Pretty soon even the pharmaceutical industry will go to China since Americans just want free money NOW. I'd like to see a greedy American lawyer sue a Chinese company just to observe how/when/what they would collect. There's no way I would be in the pharmaceutical business, that's for sure.

Why don't you just say that Merck will fork over the entire USA GDP to these greedy lawyers/claimants? I don't give a crap either way but this is an example of why medications are so ridiculously expensive. What a crooked system!

This thread along with most others on ET is really sad. Goes to show the majority of 'traders' nowadays are hooked on this 'trading/gambling' mentality. Since most are losers, whenever some slot machine (hot ipo) kicks out a few bucks, the whole room goes YIPEEEE!!! Then, it's back to boring...
