When you go bungee jumping make sure you add your height and take into account the elasticity of the chord? :confused:

What most people, I'd say the 95% that consistently lose money in the markets, don't understand.......is that if the govt spent only 1% of the yearly armaments and intelligence gatheirng expenditure in funding research towards alternative renewable energy resources, you'd have a whole new...

The Japanese economy is essentially a diversified global economy. Many of their larger companies generate more revenue from outside Japan than from the local market. imo the Nikkei has been turning up ( http://finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=%5EN225&t=5y&l=on&z=m&q=l&c= ) not because of the...

I hope you're not also in the "market is random" and "market is efficient" camp. I don't plan on prolonging this thread needlessly so this is my last post here. btw, there is a reason most economists and economics professors are poor. And it begins with the fact that most of econ101 is...

I think it's you who fails to grasp the connection. For those buying the crude with your Garlic currency, it may not matter. But for you, the individual supplying the Garlic, it certainly *does* matter. The fact that everyone wants your Garlic, definitely puts you in a favorable position in the...

Only broker that seems to be afflicted with this is E*Trade. If I were an E*Trade customer I'd close every single account with them and move elsewhere. IB has a safeguard in that they will only transfer money to the account you initially set-up with. For the hackers to setup another bank...

nononsense, what do you think of this newfangled AJAX. Apparently GOOG uses it, so there must be something to it. http://online.wsj.com/public/article/SB113098635587487074-3diFzslPm_iutdYLU2C5e4DinUA_20061103.html?mod=tff_main_tff_top

There are exceptions to every rule. In this case the Commodity in question is the life-blood of modern civilization. Every other nation has to convert their currency to the USD to make crude purchases, hence regardless of wether they want to hold a falling USD or not, the USD crude peg results...

My conjecture: Could it be that the uncertainty of rate increases/decreases leads to non-trending markets and hence numerous stop-outs for trend followers? Once the rate increase/decrease is officially deemed complete, it removes uncertainty and the markets can start trending the direction they...

Where's Apex Capital? The guy was railing against ET posters accusing them of "Slander" and other obnoxious B.S. telling everyone with a Refco account to stay in since this would blow over. That 200 million in recent gains from selling refco stock is in his wifes name. I'll bet on it. LOL!

imo AAPL will hit $65 before pulling back. At the moment the path of least resistance is up.

Did you cover yet? Seems to me you're suffering from traders rage. That 1% of the time when traders lose all their senses, get emotional for the market screwing them and try to go against the trend. It's the beginning stages of blowing up.

not really. Line charts filters out price activity relevant to making trading decisions, especially for those who use candle and bar analysis. eg. on the 10/21 ES closed positive, YM closed negative. Also note the recent price action compared to the large range days on 10/19 and 10/20

Large liquid markets tend to trend inside of price channels . The pitch fork is nothing more than a price channel ( also described as magic parallel lines in some old-timer trading books ) with a handle for mental emphasis on the direction of trend. Yes, I do use price channels along with...

I posted this some months ago in another ET thread. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=54107&perpage=6&highlight=mhashe%20crude&pagenumber=3 http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=820767 My observation in the QM intraday shows motivated demand on...

Porgie, if your initial trade gets stopped out, do you take a signal once the bars break through to the other side of the range? or do you call it a day.

lol, my hat off to you. Personally I'm not touching these futures markets here. I have a bracket order to go long on the ES at 1214.50 and short at 1998.50.

You still short?

I read some comments that the YM is a manipulated market. The YM pit is a desert compared to the SnP. The SnP is where all the paper goes and is used for hedging by the majors. Hence there is comparatively more liquidity and harder to game. YM is a pure Spec. market where it's truely a ZERO sum...
