    Ratio spreads

    Analogy

    Go back to your Columbus-Ohio dorm room, do your arithmetic homework, then work out in the weight room, drink some Canadian beers, hook up with a freaky Asian chick, take a shower, go to bed and wake up clearheaded without your useless bull-bear analogy.

    How to find the average difference of top of bar to bottom of bar on 1 min timeframe?

    Confirmation of the obvious........higher-priced stocks have greater "arithmetic" volatility. Be sure to focus on higher-volume stocks too. Cheapie-stocks have narrower ranges but you can offset that by increasing your position size. Do what you feel comfortable doing.

    Feds reaction should US markets sell off

    Be careful, be very careful. They might do the "surprise" 50-basis point easing. They did it in 0ctober-98 and January & April 2001 with great effect.

    quick newb question... thanks.

    On "gaps"

    Hard data doesn't matter. Since you know that gaps aren't always filled, you have to emphasize holding onto your winners and not let small losses put "gaps" in your trading account when you're wrong. In reality, ALL gaps get filled. Sometimes it takes months and years for it to happen.

    Gordon Gekko

    The dynamics?......There wasn't anything sophisticated going on. Gekko "traded on inside information", pure and simple. It's implied that he made big money from the info. It's more important to focus on Bud Fox's rise from rags-to-riches-back-to-rags, his relationship with his father and Gekko's...

    Do you think Currency EFTs a workable idea?

    Ward is an idiot. There's never any guarantee that there will be liquidity in any type of market. Of course, the spot-FX market will tend to have the best liquidity for foreign exchange trading. These foreign exchange ETF's should be thought of as a vehicle for retail participation which will...
