Bravo!

What I'm saying is purely redundant (and yes, just play the game, trade what you see blah blah but the fact of the matter is) this just reaffirms how crooked the Wall St. is. They saw this trainwreck coming from miles away and yet they had to downplay the heck out of it until their bonuses were...

Shorts need to take profits too you know, we can't all be pigs like the longs :p .

Made enough money shorting any and all bounces this morning and I've got nothing better to do than this.

Because no stock is an island. . .

Thanks for the heads up. Appreciate ET for this reason :D

- Transitioning from stocks to futures isn't easy and takes time, especially if you were a rebate trader. - Futures firms charge much higher overhead fees than stock firms in Montreal as far as I know, and though $1,500/month may not be much to traders who can rake in +$10k/month, it makes a...

When it comes to trading index futs I trade ES/YM most of the time because of their good correlation, so one side can be hedged with the other and also pair trading can be done without getting too technical. ER2, however, is better correlated to the advance-decline than ES and YM, which is one...

Thank IBj, I've a quick question, The new security feature won't affect dual wan routers trying to reconnect to the IB server on a different ISP. . . correct?

My question is directed at ButtonTrader users. I like the risk management side of the program but don't feel like having to learn how to operate it as I am quite comfortable using IB's Book Trader for now. Can you set the program so that while still using Book Trader for trading, ButtonTrader...

Sup blue, you were looking for a sell off for so long and we're finally having some! Here's a (blurry) pic of my workstation. I've a vertical stand in the middle that I got on eBay for like 130 bucks including shipping last year and 4 additional mount arms that I got from Dell (free...

If you used to trade YM with size consider trading ES exclusively with a half or a third of the YM lots while considering each tick on ES like a tick on YM before the volatility spike. Incredible opportunities out there especially during premarket and in the morning - investors are giving away...

Good volume action with clear direction up and then down, I like that. It's going to get more interesting but gotta step out for the day so I'm done.

I hate being held hostage to index futs and will have to get into commods more seriously and yet inertia is not easy to overcome.

Generated over 600 bucks in commissions for IB so I can basically make nothing for the day. Churn baby churn!

I'll post here for a week just to see if my performance improves or it behooves me to trade more consistently.

Hey Trader KGB Glad to hear that you enjoyed my comments. I will continue posting daily on http://jslcapital.spaces.live.com/ Regards,

Here's a look at the market on Feb 9 2007 Incited by positive foreign markets overnight, momentum traders bought up the indices at the open but there were no follow throughs. The market slowly faded until advance-decline fell below zero and some program selling ensued in the afternoon with...

Here's a look at the market on Feb 8 2007 Dow led the market down in the morning and it looked as though the money withdrawn from the likes of BA and MO was being put into small caps and tech issues (we had a modest Advance Decline to the downside but with Dow down more 100 pts at one...

Here's a look at the market on Feb 7 2007 Gauded by NDX, S&P and Dow made higher highs but their move up was like watching a tortoise in a race. . . in slow motion! Advance-Decline never crossed above 1000 (usually not a good sign for a sustainable rally) and when it started deteriorating...
