    Globex Futures Order Book.

    Some can queue up in front of (or behind ;-)) other participants. I am not sure that that happens after hours -- they have to be market makers and get that privelege for providing liquidity. You can only say that something is wrong if, say, selling, you offer at 1450.00 and the offer...

    I got a hedge fund job

    Congrats on the job. Don't worry about money right now. Concentrate on doing your job well and the rewards will come. In IT, remember that if you find that you're not continuously learning it may be time to move on -- that's not to say you won't see any routine, even boring work, but if...

    What a coincidence. In today's NY Times there is an article which would seem to indicate that OP is in error! http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/17/technology/17ecom.html?hp

    SCT.. whats wrong?

    They claim that they do no harm, because they are giving the method away. But: There is a popular saying in Japan that goes: Tada yori takai mono wa nai, meaning 'Nothing is more costly than something that is given free of charge.’ - Michihiro Matsumoto, The Unspoken Way.

    How do you feel about IB's new IPO?

    Sell while the selling's good. That's what they do, you know.

    Aussie SPI and IB

    I don't trade it but have watched it. I think you have to request quotes and trading permission from IB. Yes, it can be thin. Today, for example, SPI is down about 2 pts, but N225 and HSI are up over 200 pts. It may be partly due to the index being composed largely of resource (mining...

    Message to IB: SGX Nikkei futures commission structure

    Another thing: SGXNK should be fungible with the CME contract.

    A Proposed Debate: SCT vs. CO

    I figured it out. SCT is pronounced: SCaT! What will we tell the children?

    A Proposed Debate: SCT vs. CO

    I will second the idea that Elder's book is worth reading more than once. Force Index is worthwhile and much more advanced than Jack's volume indicator. And, yes, triple screen can produce excellent results. If you trade with the weekly/daily/intraday charts in mind you can do well -- always...

    Lost another round, eh?

    A Proposed Debate: SCT vs. CO

    I don't have a beef with people who use channels. My beef is with Jack, who has appropriated trend/channel trading and tried to pass it off as something new by giving it and many of its parts new names. Indeed, SCT traders would be better off studying trend/channel writings other than...

    A Proposed Debate: SCT vs. CO

    I had a dream. I was a coyote in the desert. Living off an occasional rabbit or mouse wasn't my idea of a good diet, so I crept up and hid beneath a bush, not far from Jack's old trailer.

    A Proposed Debate: SCT vs. CO

    Jack's writings have never gone very deep. Instead, they skim and skate and often, in the end, leave you wondering exactly what it is you've just read. Jack has not only given up depth completely but also surrendered critical thinking in exchange for marketing. As you descend with him into the...

    A Proposed Debate: SCT vs. CO

    I have a question that any debate should address: How many SCT traders are sure that they're doing SCT as conceived by Jack? If they think that they are, can they describe SCT in their own words? His writings are so unclear that they're like a Rorschach test: they express whatever the reader...

    What kind of techniques do heavy scalpers use?

    There doesn't appear to be any lead/lag there. The bars over some apparent price divergence are more a measurement of noise than signal.

    A Proposed Debate: SCT vs. CO

    I'd like to see the appeal of SCT described. 1) It appeals to greed: 3X the daily range. 2) It appeals to nervous traders: SCT offers "comfort" and some other emotional goodies, according to Jack.

    ES Volume Leads Price

    Isn't that the best? Do the work, Jack.
