If I were in their position I would petition the Chinese govt to open a Casino in the gambling strip in Macau. Sell Junk Bonds, build a few legit glamorous brick-mortar establishment in what will be the worlds biggest gambling destination while the online thing works itself out. Their $10...

I think the market is going down too. So there :)

Good suggestion but that is unlikely to happen. IB programmers will be dead-set against such a move since it will prove to management how incompetent their programmers are.

They need to be politically savvy and donate millions to the GOP. Then watch how their troubles "miraculously" disapear. Too bad for them that Jack Abrahamoff is sidelined at the moment, otherwise retaining him for a few million would have done the trick. :)

Your charts are very similar to mine. However I use a stochastic oscillator as a filter along with trendlines and support/resistance areas. I weight the inside bars at the overbot/oversold areas move heavily than those inside of a trend. I take my buy/sell signals off a 15 min chart but use a 3...

I use trendlines and inside bars to trade intraday price oscillations and I follow this thread regularly. I was under the assumption that it was posters chart. Only later did I realize that it was Leftys chart and apart from the assenine "lol", the poster has nothing further of value to add...

We spend on tanks and wars they spend on public education and healthcare. Gosh, I wonder who will come out ahead in the long run.

Love those inside bars. I find they work well for trend reversals inside of an oscillating market. How do you filter them in trending markets? Edit: Looking at the chart tag, looks like it's someone elses chart you posted. Any insights you offer? :confused:

Lefty, thank you for a great thread presenting highly relevant info. I've also really enjoyed perusing your prior threads , you present some very informative and thought inducing ideas. I normally use prior days H,L,C and todays open to calculate todays regular session pivots. However, I...

I suspect your problem was Wincrap 98. I have'nt had any TWS issues except that with Ensign software my top-of-the-line CPU gets really stressed out with all that Java running.

Imo if they figure out how to give each Chinese a credit card and access to the internet, they won't need the US customers.

Most of it sounded like ignorant right-wingers mouthing off. Ofcourse leftists are just as bad.

It's what I call the "Chavez socialist Phenomenon". The vast majority of Latin America are people living in absolute dire abject poverty. Before with the various dictatorships, these poor people had no voice, but as democratic principles take hold, the poor have mobilized to support and vote...

Could someone explain the above phenomenon. Why would interests rates go down instead of up?

imo if you're making more than 200K a year in your current business, you're better off sticking with it and trading part-time/position trading. More money to be made in swings/position trades anyway.

What's more of a Joke is the culture of corruption. The committee/consultant/etc probably does'nt exist as these deals are made on a "you scratch my back I scratch your back" basis.

How do you approach your trading?

The Caspian area will slowly take over OPEC shortfall. Canadian tar sands extraction technology is getting better, the chinese already are busy making deals on future Canadian oil. Then you have the Russians, they can make a significant difference in global oil output if ever they can overcome...

That's why I never put money in a "virtual" bank. At least with physical banks you can walk in and cuss out the local bank manager and have him solve the problem.

I'm also sure many successful pit traders would disagree with that comment.
