    How does one measure Volatility?

    Volatility cycles in a more uniform manner than price action. Therefore, you can use the Vix, Vxo, and vxn to measure the current cycle. I find when the volatility indices are in an uptrend, the market in general cascades to a crescendo of selling over time. Also when volatilities are heading...

    gary williams

    I've heard of him. I have some friends of the family who fly back east to NC to take some advanced class, they paid 7200 for it. He has a mail order program that you buy audio cd's for 500. What they told me is that he basically goes over more in the mail order program than the class they...

    Will you stay with Cyber/Schwab if they only offer per trade pricing?

    I liquidated most of my cybertrader account last week and sent it to tradestation. Their stock commissions are a bit higher, but their options are way cheaper. I was always reluctant to go to Tradestation because of the bad reviews here, but so far the platform is very intuitive. Also it takes a...

    Fed speak - no cut?

    The fed has no choice but to cut. No end in sight. That’s the prospect for the credit crisis, which seemed to be on an improving track once the Fed started to ease on August 17. It seemed that the worst was over once the Fed jumped ahead of the curve. The problem is that the Fed came to that...

    fxcm october record 755%

    The issue I have with those results is the size of the account. To double $1,000 account is pretty easy. $1,000 to what, 8,000 is not a huge gain. Try doubling a million dollar account.

    Managing delta on naked short put

    Market implied volatility for the past year had an average between 30-40. During very volatile times such as past July, August it popped up in a range of 50-60.

    google earnings???

    Probably stay close to where it's currently trading. I think whatever new announcements they could make are priced in at this point. There must be something in the works though, to justify the ramp higher the last two months.

    Taylor trading technique

    You're better off getting George Angell's Sniper Trading. He has improved upon the Taylor technique, and basically put it into an easy to understand format. Plus Taylor's writing is difficult to read.

    Question about getting paid at prop firm

    Man, when are people going to learn what a scam these companies are. First off, it takes 5-10 years to become good at very short term trading. Secondly, these firms give the worst possible deal. You pay commission and still only get 40% payout. How can you people be so gullible. You're going to...

    DRR2 clock speeds make a difference running apps

    If you want the latest and best get DDR3. The difference between DDR2 667 and 800 will not be noticeable. But going with DDR3 will be. Also if you really want to see your system speed up, get a raptor 10,000 rpm hard drive. I've been using these for years. They speed up the clunkiest of systems...

    Safe plays for October

    A little late on the usd and gold play. If you get in now you will be in at the top. Hint for your plays: think about companies that benefit from the weak us dollar.

    Short Wynn

    Short WYNN? Why do people like short selling the best performing stocks. I buy the leaders and short the turds. Look for some stocks that are down and out and ride them lower. Way better risk/reward.
