    ask different traders what that means and you'll probably get 2 different answers... 1. The market is way down and has been going down for weeks. 2. The market will go down further. Most traders fall into category 1. They have no idea where the market is going and are scared to...

    getting confused... argh!

    everytime brokers lower their margins, they make more money. So wouldn't it make sense to buy brokerage stocks? I wouldn't consider lower margins a benefit for the trader... Infact trading on any type of margin is very risky. I think that it would be dangerous to use any margin below the...

    CME E-quotes, or something comparable?

    Is anyone using this service? What do you think of it so far... I'm first and foremost concerned with the reliability of the data (this shouldn't be a problem as it comes from the source), and secondly I want good charting. I'm a former user of the following products and quit using them...

    DOW Crashing ?!

    the crowd is constantly trying to buy the bottom.... and the crowd will lose in the end. I know someone is taking the other side of my trades... and I doubt it's the big money. Of course, I don't short sell offs... i short into the rallies during a long term sell off.

    DOW Crashing ?!

    if I don't have an opinion, or a bias, then I have no basis for trade. whether it's based on a stochastic on a 1 minute chart or elliot wave on a yearly chart... any signal i get becomes my opinion because I put a certain amount of trust in my system. you can call it a signal or system or...

    I've been using ensignsoftware for about 2 months... along with IB. Ensign has a basic trade report function that can show basic stuff like ratios, average win, average loss... etc etc. But the trades have to be entered manually so thats a bummer. However, the software is very flexible...

    Is this "THE HOLY GRAIL"' for trading the E-MINI'S

    I doubt your grail is very holy, tho it might be full of holes :D . If it makes u money then good, if it doesn't too bad. Its easy to think that your grail is holy because u havent seen it unholy yet. but think black swans, like Taleb, and you'll find a hole. I for one wouldn't touch...
