To the poster of this thread all I can say is that you are dead ass wrong with your theory on being lucky to have success in the markets. Orderflow is what drives the markets one way or another. The fact that the orderflow might be buy side flow or sell side flow or a mix of both can make...

This whole thing has been set up way before obama. Probably going back more than 50 years. After taking the time to do some research and actually think for myself vs listening to mainstream media's bullshit. I now am positive of a few things. 1. The financial collapse was indeed...

What John just said is the best advice you will ever get. I too am a full member of both the CBOT and the CME. Few people pay less in commisions than I do. Without the membership I would probably be a net loser every day in my trading.

mgex locals refused to support the market (back when there was a pit) they were afraid that it would eventually kill their HRS futures contract. Those index contracts are a GREAT idea but its just so hard to get people to trade something when the liquidity and volume aren't there (nobody...

I'm sorry but this whole thread is not making any sense to me. Your talking about pictures and paintings and about gays and boobs and everything inbetween. Just what are you trying to get at???? I don't know why you are complicating the point you are trying to make. Trading is simply...

Two Things 1. Running outta skoal during the trading day 2. Running to the bathroom to take a piss while the market is open. Other than that I love my job! :D

if your not focused during the day you must be bored and how can you be bored while your playing in the most competitive game in the world?

Im going to be supportive here unlike most of the other posters. Good for you man! You want to go out and stake your claim in a business of pure capitalism where anybody can blow out their account or make a million! I respect that. However, sadly there is no free lunch in this game and it is...

stupid thread, the previous thread stated the fact honestly....TRADING IS HARD, VERY HARD, DAMN HARD! Buying and selling is the simplest thing you will ever do but at the same time the hardest thing you will ever do.

u/z corn is tightening because farmers refuse to sell grain and end users are buying up on this price break hence causing a tightening basis and a tightening spread. Absolutely ridiculous why its happening but as long as farmers hold tight that spread will stay tight. However I believe the...

Your not that smart are ya?

my friends would have a field day with me if they caught me drinking wine lol! needless to say im origionally from iowa and grew up on cheap beer (busch, pabst, etc)........just recently moved up to the good expensive stuff like coors and bud light lol. Im living fancy now! :D

Don't worry I won't hold being german against you man (75% irish and I don't claim the other 25% lol)

Amazing how im not the only one in this camp! After the markets close I grab a 18 pack of coors light and drink till I go to bed. However during this time I also do research for my current positions and other research to prepare me for the next trading day. I also crank up the country music...

China's government is a bunch of crooks plain and simple. Dont think for a minute that while they were buying beans earlier in the year they weren't already long futures against it. China is as much of a speculator as anybody else.

It was due to short term cash tightness. Flat price dropped, farmers stopped selling while end users saw it as a chance to cover their needs. So caught a lot of guys (including myself) bearspread in the u/z and short hedgers were caught in july. Crop is picture perfect, ending stocks are...

Darin Excellent post and I agree with you. It has to be commercials just finding value down here and must be totally a short term cash issue now. However I would imagine most of this gets resolved by sep delivery so I think im gonna take this opportunity to start bearspreading for roll in...

anybody have a fucking clue as to why the hell new crop spreads are up huge on the day???? I just dont understand how there can be no deliveries against july when ending stocks are huge and its a picture perfect crop on the way. All corn spreads should be going off the board at like 80% full...

"stocks, balls, models, and bottles" kind of explains itself :D

skoal runs me about $25 a week. Thats the only addiction I have......other than trading :D
