    Our 400,000 Trade Test Proves Using Stops Is Not Very Bright

    Wow, great to see that even after Surfs report thread has been moved to the garbage area, he can still pollute ET better than anyone else. I think people need to realize that when arguing with Surf, you are arguing with a guy who has blown out trading a few times and never "got it". He's a...

    2016 ET charity boxing match in South Florida

    Oh well.......I had Larry Merchant and Jim Lampley signed on to do the announcing. If you get down here summer/fall we should have some kind of get together at the Hard Rock Casino. Can drink, gamble, and talk about what would have been the fight of the century.

    Anyone use esignal?

    I have been using Esignal for about 10 years now, for charting and studies only. I execute all futures trades through TT. To me Esignal and CQG are by far the best charting software companies out there. TO me it came down to familiarity and easiness of charting/studies, and I also have an...

    I actually heard, from people in the know, that the CL/CL is a commission free trade. No commissions will be charged by any broker. It's apparently a deal that the NYMEX and NYSE came up with back in the 70's during the great toothpaste shortage. The NYSE (where CL traded) cut a deal with...

    Thanks for the clarity. I sold a bunch of gold futures earlier today. I did not own them prior to the sale. So I am sitting on a large amount of cash. I wasnt sure if I could just go out and spend the money. Now I know I must buy the contracts back and then go and sell a ton of puts instead. I...

    I cannot comment where this idea came from Visaria. I believe it was first used by farmers who claimed they were hedging back in the late 1800's. Crop reports were released at town hall meetings after hours so the trade was much more complicated. But that's all I can tell you without fearing...

    I have been working with my team of quants on another strategy. But I want feedback from you guys. I want to be able to go back and buy a futures contract that expired. Let's say Mar YM from 2007. Then sell it using today's mar ym price. Now.......... Obviously you can't buy mar ym and sell...

    There is a trade in the Ag Futures which can be done on a monthly basis. Crop report days. It is called the Triple Threat Hour of Power Trade. The trade must be entered between 5:00 and 6:00 am edt. CME servers will not accept any trades outside of this hour. You just enter a quantity. Not a...
