Try support & resistance, friend. Draw straight lines. Read some articles on it. Indicators don't work! :P

Paranoid? Spoken like a man with nothing to lose!! I do agree the market is free & manipulation is not the proper word. Crude spiked because of investment flows; investment money flowed because Israel wants nothing more than to start WWIII by dropping nuclear bunker busters on a nation...

I'm 29. I was trading ES during the near vertical fall in Oct. / Nov. You could still get orders off. The velocity was great...I've never seen the spooz move that quickly. Just be careful of weekend events.

CRUDE to $147 was a buy the rumor; sell the fact trade. The pusillanimous American media never reported the real reason crude went so high... Cooler heads prevailed. For now.

That's a good reason to clear through an AGENCY ONLY brokerage, like MF Global. At least you know they're not betting against you. I don't trust these wirehouse guys one bit.

If anything, your error is mixing Support & Resistance with those despicable indicators that amateurs use. By desecrating your S/R levels with bollinger bands, MAs, sto, MACD & other crap you're putting pearls on a pig. Quite frankly, comparing a pig to oscillators & indicators is an...

Hey everyone, I was stopped for 2.5 points / contract on ES yesterday when we broke 800 but didn't hold it. The trend is clearly up yet the fundamentals suggest we're still in a bear market. Soros was quoted recently about the "inevitability" of commerical property falling some 30%...

BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D Optional just stuck it to you, Weinus.

Who's the one bitching over pennies? Sounds like you're the greedy one. BTW, short-term interest rates are near zero, so many brokerages aren't making much "on the float." Why are you so cheap, anyway? Are you one of these guys who "Scalps" 7 points on YM? That's sad. How much did...

In the UK, for the first time in SEVEN YEARS, they failed to attract enough capital to buy their bonds. They fell just short of their auction target. It's an ominous sign. Here in the US our $34 billion auction didn't attract as much buying as anticipated, driving up yields, which is...

Am I the only one playing the 800 level from both sides? I think we may have started our descent to 765 area. These failed treasury auctions in USA and UK are major events. Unless it's anomalous this augurs HIGHER INTEREST RATES at a time when the economic contraction is getting worse...

Perhaps I'm teaching the Pig to Sing, so to speak, but... If you're genuinely open to advice, I'd say study Support & Resistance. They can be found with STRAIGHT LINES on your daily, weekly & hourly charts. Avoid technical indicators & oscillators, as they don't work. Read a lot. Read...

I agree we could descend towards 750 or lower. It's tough to be taken seriously when you don't know the diff. b/w dissent & descent. Nonetheless, I agree. :)

Definitely management. :)

I feel the same way, friend. ES tends to obey simple S/R lines better than ZN. The money's green either way - I'd recommend sticking with ES.

I always go Balls Deep. Yeah, it's nice seeing DOM but there's so much chicanery going on with these scalpers (flipping orders, etc.) that I don't pay attention to it. Heck, I don't even consider volume, really. Some of my better fills are at 4am catching a low volume reversal. Good...

When I saw this thread I *knew* it was YOU who initiated it. You lost all your capital on the way down. Why are you still here? I like your bullish bias because I truthfully don't want S&P near 600; it's bad for people & the economy, though I enjoy selling EMinis near resistance. This...

None, friend. I draw straight lines :-) :D :D

"Persistence is to the character of man what carbon is to steel." --Napoleon Hill It took me 18 months to find my edge. Good luck to you. My advice is to focus on Support & Resistance, and forget hte mumbo jumbo. I.e, your bollinger bands are about as useful as a rubber turd. GL! :)

There are stil 3-5 sellers for every buyer. You do the math. Real estate prices will remain under pressure for YEARS. It's pollianic to think otherwise.
