    Thank you for confirming that too much mathematical sophistication gets in the way of a simple solution. Think about it.

    E-Signal Increases Rates

    It is as predictable as a woman you have made your bitch. But don't trader her on E-Signal. It can't keep up with her when she wakes up.

    E-Signal Increases Rates

    FWIW, I recently redid my analysis of the best inducks future to trade, and it is still NQ.

    E-Signal Increases Rates

    Obviously you do not have the perspective of an elderly person living in a trailer park on Social Insecurity with twelve semi-feral dogs and six illegitimate grandchildren to feed. And I NEVER lose more than about sixty bucks per contract in an NQ trade. Stops are like pussy. They should be tight.

    Pass-through exchange fees, I think.

    E-Signal Increases Rates

    I was about to leave anyway, because their goddamned data stream for NQ drops seconds at a time at a fast open. And Ninja looks like a superior platform. But, oh!, the code translation pain! Bastards! E-Signal doesn't give a shit about one disgruntled old subscriber. Their eyes are on the prize...

    E-Signal Increases Rates

    I only trade half a contract now, and I'm not quite ready to scale up. I would have responded to the email, accepting their gracious offer to "contact us with any concerns," but the e-mail source was do-not-reply. Oh, yes, we are interested in your feedback!

    E-Signal Increases Rates

    Guess they decided that since BofA dropped the five buck debit card fee we can afford to pay it to E-Signal. As a long-term subscriber adept at decoding E-Signal missives, here is my translation of the e-mail: "We have not improved our service. In fact, it has deteriorated. But we think...

    Sell Everything Else and Buy Silver

    My call? I wasn't aware that I had your number. Head shaved at 2000? If SI doesn't make 45.45USD by then I will shave my balls. You can line up CNBC. And I will buy miners when the miners own the countries that own the mines.

    Regrettably there is a relatively new Hershey thread here: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=229669 quite inappropriately in the TA forum. Presumably because we do not have a Technical Unalysis forum. On days when I get bored of poking a long dull needle into my aqueous...

    Sell Everything Else and Buy Silver

    I think that's western world bias (I'm guilty). Lots of places historically and currently prize silver more than gold as a store of personal wealth. Commodimetric valuation of silver takes this into account.

    Sell Everything Else and Buy Silver

    I agree with you that derivatives will be the dearth of us. But a house is a decaying source of wealth even with stable money. And if mine were falling around my ears in a disaster, my long-suffering wife could easily hump its weight in gold out in her bugout bag. Just have to remove a few...

    Sell Everything Else and Buy Silver

    Yes, it is recovering nicely, and is still a buy at today's prices. I'll post the chart when it ceases to be a buy and becomes a hold.

    Best resource IMO: "The Dow Jones-Irwin Guide to Trading Systems" Bruce Babcock, Jr. (regrettably deceased) Out-of-print, but available used: http://www.amazon.com/Dow-Jones-Irwin-Guide-Trading-Systems/dp/1556231261/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1319730892&sr=1-1 Larry Williams is...

    Sell Everything Else and Buy Silver

    As a chartered gold bug I just can't let this pass. Repeat after me: "Gold and silver are real wealth. The amount of fiat either PM will buy simply reflects real inflation or inflationary expectations. There can be no bubbles in PM, only bubbles in fiat."

    Sell Everything Else and Buy Silver

    That faint tinkling sound you heard this morning is the kicked can rolling down the road. I believe the roads end where you are the same way they do here: in gutters. I have a deal for you. I have a little spare cash. If you will make me a loan five times larger than my collateral, I will issue...

    I asked because it makes a difference. Swing trade entries want to be made on retraces of the previous day's action. Position trades want to be made at the end of panic or greed reactions. Investments want to be made on secular changes.

    I asked because to me there are four different kinds of trades: a daytrade, a swing trade of days, a position trade of weeks, and an investment of months. I approach each differently from an S/R viewpoint. Trailer Trash Trading.
