Yeah, I remember that well actually...The moment they cut away from programming to go to the WTC, they were talking "baby talk" with Marci Rossell...It was her first day at CNBC...Don't know why I remember something like that since I rarely watch the channel, but somehow the events afterwards...

Let me get this straight...You are asking a question about what "they" are going to do, however you are giving three separate possibilities as to what they are going to do?...Of course there is going to be a concentration of orders around a specific strike and therefore more activity off of that...

Aaron: I commend you on your performance...Would you care to comment on what size a portfolio these returns are based on?... Just curious

I agree...this is b.s...It is understandable to have had a 45 minute delay, but now we are going on 4 hours....And just as I am typing this IB now says not until after 11 PM(CT)...Something is fishy

lol...this stuff has been going on since the tail end of the Clinton years...How many times in 1999-2000, did some guy with the BLS "accidentally" release reports a day before they were supposed to be released...I mean, once was enough, but this same supposed "stooge" kept doing it... But my...

ok, that is not as bad as I thought regarding the losses...It seems that saga took a turn for the better...Also, glad to hear that the company only retains a small percentage of the capital in those accounts...

Sorry, I missed the question in your post with my previous response...When I say "conventional techniques" I am basically just speaking about the "consensus"...By consensus, I would say that the majority will use breakout systems intra-day or some very popular moving average and time frame to...

yes, good analysis...I think this happens to alot of people trading the mini's...Like I mentioned in that post, it happened to me somewhat frequently, especially as I began to trade both accounts with two separate time frames... Like I also said before, the biggest risk in trading the...

well, I always did love those Charles Bronson Death Wish films....

yes, that is very interesting stuff...I have always enjoyed reading material about true trading experience as opposed to all of the hypothetical stuff out there...Charles Cottle wrote some great stuff about market making in the options market...Unfortunately, his classic book went out of print a...

A bit off subject, but related to the theme of this thread...Does anyone remember the name of that Trust company that basically held client assets for clients who were using their retirement plans to trade futures, options, etc...The companies' officers basically looted the accounts and spent...

If history is any guide(perhaps time for standard futures industry disclaimer "past performance is no indication of future results"), then any break lower will be covered, the institutions will hammer the market with about 20 buy programs, tick will hit 1000 and we will have another stealth...

Actually, I was agreeing with your statements about Clinton being the main culprit for alot of our current illnesses...But I also happen to agree about the SPX as well...I just do not trade from a "macro" perspective, so I do not pay too much attention to the weekly time frame...That being said...

Yes, I agree with the Clinton part...This is something that was troubling then and made those times so uncertain...Once the Fed lowered rates after the bond market close in Oct, 1998...Once Robert Rubin was brought into the picture, trouble was inevitable...The worst aspect of all of it is that...

I have never heard of firms offering IRA futures accounts...Defined Benefit Plans-yes...But I have found that there are numerous limitations on IRA's...

I remember going to Van Buren's office at 440 South back in the very first few months they had started that company, (early 1997)...They were one of the beginning firms...These were the days when All-Tech and Block Trading were getting all the press...Also, in those days Datek was a small...

Actually, I should have spoken up sooner about this one...I understand that Huios likes the idea of gauging his trading against the total range between pivots or whatever the actual measurement is, but I think this is a bit of overkill...The idea that one can capture a fixed percentage of this...

Before you continue on this rant and berate everyone who does something you do not do, there were a few people who explained why they do not use the news or listen to the news...BUt most importantly, the majority of people who do not use the news are trading indicies and are probably more keyed...

Just looking at the listings in Plano...This is insane...These houses(many of them) are 4br/3 bath 2000 sf, 2 car garages for 150k...This is the way things should be...Might be time to move to Texas...

topgun: These same 4 bedroom houses for 200k, at their peak what were these homes selling for? Is the foreclosure rate down there pretty high?
