.................Generally, yes.

The customers are ga-ga for Google? Traders are aggressively reaching for out-of-the-money calls. That sucks for you right now. That's what happens during raging bull markets. If GOOG keeps rallying, your spread should "come in" quickly. Offset the trade if it spikes sharply higher after bullish...

The NASDAQ has more slippage. (1) NYSE specialists tend to trade in a more stabilizing manner than NASDAQ market makers. (2) NYSE stocks tend to have more institutional participation than NASDAQ issues (ignoring the biggest, large-cap, high-tech issues; i.e. MSFT, INTC, CSCO, ORCL, AAPL et al)...

The Plunge Protection Team was rumored to be active in Tokyo!

???...........making money trading the E-Mini S&P's??................let's see..............consider fading the Noon Balloon. You should be able to make money with "it" atleast 3 days out of the week. Be careful the other day(s) of the week when "it" doesn't work.

What alanm posted is true. Keep in mind that during a "fast market" condition, brokers are "not held" to limit orders even if the market trades through the limit price.

Isn't the "expanding wedge" a continuation pattern, not a reversal pattern? We'll see.

It's decent research but you have to remember that those numbers are "averages". Future retracements can still be of any percentage magnitude. Don't let a small loss become a huge loss just because a market makes a 20% reversal, you buy it, but then the retracement becomes 21%, 22%, 23%, 25%...

Oh God, those were the days............pizza delivery, bartending, focus groups, UPS or FEDEX overnight warehouse duty, plasma donation, andrology laboratory donations, being a "guinea pig" for non-FDA approved drug testing and surgical methods..........the things people will do for money.

They completely ignore a deflationary scenario. (3) Greenspan follows the Fed Funds contract to determine Fed...

I was getting 25 basis points on my checking account balance at that time. 1% is as low as the Fed can go, otherwise money market funds won't be able to pay anything out to depositors after paying their own expenses.
