The answer to your question is obvious: The night session volume in the dollar ES for example, never exceeds the day time sessions volume. Now that we have that out of the way, think about this: Volume simply portrays interest at a certain price level. It's not like more buying or selling...

Yea, I'm not familiar with the rules regarding those players. So I could offer only what I did. Are there special incentives for those groups?

Historically, the general stock market has seen appreciation. Since the beginning of any market, there would be a stat I'm sure that favored buying over selling. Regardless, I am trying to teach myself to trade either side and eliminate any bias I have to buying or selling, because...

I'm sell and hold right now, so it's k..

@ 16.9 k (+69%) Since Jun

Well, to each his own. As always you must do what you're comfortable with. It seems you are a bit of a pessimist, don't take that the wrong way. I guess this is where we differ. I have definite goals, this helps keep my head on straight and thinking logically. You shouldn't group yourself...

Lol... this guy doesn't get out at all. That's typical, they are usually smart and ew or dumb and hot.

Again, no surprise on this one. If you are making billions robbing the ignorant public, why on earth would you want reform? If the public wasn't so retarded (lending from banks what they couldn't afford in the first place) it wouldn't be a big deal. It's unfortunate wall st. has...

What the hell? I only presented a theoretical example to counter yours. I simply stated the fact is true. I obviously agree that it's a weak argument, I've already posted several times, I'm short R2K @ 710 since Sunday. Third of all, in our hypotheticals, no one with a brain would short...

1-5% is a lot depending on your account size (5% of 1m is 50k etc.), something tells me you failed elementary math. It's also because he's starting out. It's not to say that he shouldn't leverage strongly if he has a history of 95% winners.. which it sounds like isn't the case. The...

lol... you may have been right, but you're not making any money off of it... I'm still short R2K @ ~710. Just wish I were my old gunslinger self and would have bet the ranch on this trade :D I've been short since Sunday open. By the way my entry was simply a slanted version of yours, and I...

Like everything there are similarities and differences. The most important point here is to make sure that you don't risk very much. To begin with don't risk more than 1-5% of your money on any one trade. This is because no matter what you do, you can always be wrong. You will be...

I know what you meant & you made it further than me, I didn't bother clicking the link. :)

I'm short the Russell 2000 right now. So it doesn't matter to me, but... the fact is the statement is true. Yes there is a lot pain from $580 to $0, but what if GOOG were $1? There are a lot of different scenarios you can come up with but it doesn't change the fact.

Is that what your IQ value dictated? :p

This reminds me of tests, pretty much in general, no matter what the subject or who is taking it. The only thing tests do, especially standardized ones, such as the ACT or SAT or the one in question, is measure how well you can take that test. They have little merit in my mind of determining...

A lot of good points here. You should really teach yourself how to build a computer (not that hard). It comes in handy and can save a lot of $ Like people said, you can usually save a lot of $ buying hardware separately than buying a premade PC, whether alienware or dell. All you must do...

I'm probably beating a dead horse, but this statement has no merit. If you use the same calculation of stop loss on any instrument, there is no difference between selling and buying. You are confused by a basic statement (I think): If you short something, you assume unlimited risk...

Perhaps we can talk over the long weekend. Though I don't know what your goals are long term, I want to be able to trade for a living down the road, and be able to handle huge size, so the ES or ETFs like SPY are a necesity, and being unable to trade for the period you have feels strange to me...

Why do people always think that the news controlls the market? The market is falling because more people want out than in, and one of the lowest total index options put/call ratios in the last 3 years registered last Friday. I'm short the Russell 2000 futures because (1st and most...
