    Why the hell would anybody trade forex?

    i agree....those futures are great to trade....but on the other hand, you do need to be well capitalized to trade them, unlike spot forex, you can basically open an account for only $500.

    Deterioration of your mental state due to the emotions of trading

    Yarg! I see the hanging man on the QQQQs

    If you use the most recent (and most obvious high/low levels and do a Fib study) March (low) and the recent highs (last week)...a pullback to around 45.90 is only a 38% fib retracement PLUS its a test of the breakout we are currently rallying from...the market could fall to those levels and...

    possible to use "market profile" to trade options?

    Selling options which have strike prices in the 2nd or 3rd standard deviation (of the bell curve - assuming your volitilty is approx correct) is a strategy i've heard from a few traders. You could then take that a step further and use market profile to build that bell curve.

    IMO the $DJI can trade back down to 13375 area and it will still be bullish; its just testing the most recent breakout (so you'll get a lot of technical buying coming in)....The SPX is a different story though, its still stuck in a trading range between 1491 and 1514 (todays action really wasnt...

    http://www.livefloortrader.com/ I've never used their service (nor do i really know what they have too offer), but i've been seeing them on the floor recently (with a video camera set up). ...tradersaudio is by far the best squawk though. Ben's S&P broadcasts are excellent
