People, let's forget about the markets for one second and focus on the economy. I don't consider today's cut a bailout-cut for the markets. I see it as a clear sign that the US economy is in recession and that's what central bankers do when a country goes into recession: lower rates...

we are in the middle of a strong bear market. it happens the same when futures gap up in a bull market, only difference being that when we fall people start panicking.

yes, that's weird.

I agree. Although US indexes are off to the worst year start in I don't know how many freaking years, as a daytrader I can see lots of buyers whenever the markets attempt to collapse. I expect some range-bound market for next week - consolidation phase - and then a major up-trend day...

How do you think these companies became so big? Bill Gates founded Microsoft out of a garage office, you really think he would have led MS to be one of the biggest corporations in the world without all the billions of dollars injected - and re-invested - into it from the stock market?

According to your assumption, if the stock market was ever to shut down, professional and retail traders would be out of their jobs. However, do not think that other regular jobs would be safer. All of the big corporations are listed on the stock exchange, have you thought of this for a...

I tend to agree with the above although I wouldn't make it a political system case, socialism vs capitalism. Your statement is flawed in that no European member country is purely socialist. We do have Northern European countries like Sweden, Denmark and Norway that are based on socialist...

Am I the only experiencing this problem? My stop loss was hit many times and no fill...I had to close it manually.

yep, same old goddam CBOT...looking forward to january when this piece of shit will merge with CME

I live in Europe as well and yet I believe such a strong Euro will cause many problems for our economy. Just think about this: let's say a car company like BMW has total revenues of $10 Billions. Let's say that 10% of that is represented by US market. That would be $1 Billion. The...

Everyday the Euro stays above 1.25 it erodes business from European exporters. As much as technical analysis can be fun and this uptrend seems unstoppable, there is a limit to everything. I am not willing to call the top here, as far as I am concerned it could well go above 2.00...

I use version 8.3 build 1419. I did not trade the last FOMC but all of my charts along with YM matrix were open and nothing froze. I am going to keep a close eye on any slowdown for the future though as I see several other members are experiencing major freezing.

Well, I dont know much about hardware and stuff... All I know is that TS runs just fine on my PC. I have all emini charts open on different timeframes along with many other markets and everything runs great.

1) Yes 2) 1.66 Ghz with 2 Giga

I have been using TS for a while now and no problems at all. Today was quite a busy day with lots of volatility and crazy price action, yet my matrix never froze. I was able to get in and out of the market quickly and everything was working just fine. Keep in mind i have two desktops...

It'd be funny to see the dollar rally right after Gisele switched from USD to EURO.

Smilingsynic I agree with everything you've written thus.

You wanna leave abroad and still behave like an American??? Forget about them guns already!

Anybody knows what caused that spike in both Dax and Eurostoxx?

I would also rule out Italy for the same reasons. Left-wing government keeps raising taxes year in year out. Capital gain tax is still the lowest of the European Union, 12.50%. It won't last long though.
