    Trading large volume on the ES

    For the Russell, the bid/ask size will be less 10 contracts when the markets is quiet. Active times you should be able to fill 20-30 contracts instantaneously.

    Why do you daytrade?

    I agree with that. No exposure overnight.

    Ok. This is what San Digital had to say. Can't imagine having to change more than once. Thanks for your interest about our products. The Windows utility come with MS2UT is an optional management program which lets you configure the RAID Level and have some basic management. However, if you...

    I completely missed that. Not sure what you can't do with USB that you can with RS232.

    PC always on

    Of course. But for most traders that don't want to think about tech unless they have to. RAID 1 is very easy. Add it and forget it. I was thinking about adding one of these. One thing you can do is unplug it and store it remotely. Very cool since it's hardware RAID and eSATA! External...

    PC always on

    Not sure where you're coming from. A real-time backup of every single piece of data that you have, is an excellent protection against a hard drive crash. Now if you're talking about the destruction of the computer itself, taking out both drives that's a different story.

    RAID 1 for mirroring. Absolutely essential, especially since a lot of new computers have it built in.

    today's TRIN Spikes

    Funny thing is when it did hit that level, I was in and out pretty quickly. I wonder if anyone else had that feeling that it could have gone lower. In any case, it was the culmination of several days of selling and then finally Kohn's statement. It definitely was not a capitulation.

    Henry Paulson - US Treasury Secretary.

    I don't disagree with your assessment. Paulsen was promised more influence. He can still make his mark if he can do something about the trade deficit. How he handles the currency will also be closely watched. In addition, his close tie to China and how he manages it could be historic...

    Do you trade index futures at the open?

    If anything, you might want to try the premarket at about 8AM EST. When the reports come out, a strangle works well. Generally, I will wait until a trend has been established, which means after 10am. But recently I've been fading the pre 11am range expansion. Example, I placed a short...

    Henry Paulson - US Treasury Secretary.

    Not about the money. GS fosters a culture about influence as much as wealth. Corzine, Rubin, Thain, etc. It's about making your mark in history. Paulsen is in his 60s. This is probably his last chance at having a historical impact.

    Do you trade index futures at the open?

    More times than not, the opening is a crapshoot.

    Pictures of your trading stations

    One thing missing in many of these pictures, windows. No way I can stand staring at a wall. Too claustrophobic. Need to let the sunshine in, even a nice rainy day has a calming effect. There's something to feng shui.

    No, it's about the resolution.

    How on EARTH free AV could possibly be better than NAV and McAfee?

    A lot of bored programmers doing what the boss says, doesn't equate to great software. Boss wants 100+ gimmicky features, programmer says sure whatever boss wants, as long as I go home at 5PM.

    money is everything?

    I was/am very much into poker. Trading is a natural extension of my poker playing. As I've told a number of people if the money was taken out of poker, then what would be the point? So the money is important. People who trade have to be able to take risk, just like in poker...
