Hey guys, I did a little "research" last night, trying to scout out a regular Friday afternoon gathering spot for the Chicago ET Club. I visited both Monk's Pub (205 W. Lake), and Cavanaugh's (53 W. Jackson). Monk's Pub has a cool interior, with exposed walls and low ceilings; but there...

Like the old man said (Livermore), it is good for your head, and your trading, to get completely out of the markets once in awhile and take a vacation. Of course, when arriving at a vacation spot, the first thing Livermore would do would be to look for the nearest brokerage office, and...

hehe... nitro old man, I don't think "msfe" was trying to insult Nana. After all, we're gentlemen around here, right? Here is a VERY rough translation of mfse's post: If you live for a certain amout of time in the Netherlands, you can become a naturalised Dutch citizen. With that...

Bottom line: Unless you are rolling a HUGE position (like 1000 contracts or more), the Monday before expiration is just as good a day to roll as the preceding Thursday. It really makes no difference at all. I am guessing that the original poster does not carry 1000-lot position trades in...

If you honestly think that the MAR ES is going to be "illiquid" on Monday the 15th, well...spare us your expertise. saxon

What there is an abundance of around here is foot-in-mouth disease! Here is the settlement info right off the CME website. Note, it is the 3rd Friday, not the 2nd. The link is here: http://www.cme.com/clr/contract_listings_cl.html?product=ES The settlement date is what it is. Of...

Last trade day for ES MAR is Thursday of next week, March 18. So Monday the 15th would probably be a good roll date. Majority of volume should be in JUN by then. saxon

Hmm...didn't know you could trade the big S&P contract through IB at ANY time of day. Is this something new? saxon

The disappearing page thing just happened to me, too. Restored from a backup file...but then for awhile I was not able to open my account window, and no positions were showing on the trade page! I downgraded to 817. It occurs to me (IB...if you are reading this) that just today I had...

Visualize! And it will happen. :)

Scientist, If you have confidence in your method, don't start second guessing yourself. That's a recipe for getting REALLY lost. Occasional "whoopin's" are an inevitable part of the game; not necessarily an indication that you are doing anything wrong. I'd wish you luck, but I don't...

Great news!!! Thank you, eSignal.

eSignal, How are you doing on the server sync project? From the most recent estimates you have given, I am guessing that it will be 100% complete by Monday (March 1). Is that correct? Thanks, saxon

I'll be there! saxon

canyon, Parker (demonet) generously volunteered to be the organizer for Saturday, so his post (below) is the official word. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ demonet Senior Member Registered: Aug 2003 Posts: 123 02-25-04 01:22 PM...

Sounds like a great choice, Parker! Hope it's not already booked up or something. saxon

About 70% (lately).

C, I'll be at Paog's at 5:00pm this Friday. You can tell me all about the millions you made in bonds this week...right? I'll try and grab a seat or three. No doubt, Friday afternoon will be a little busier than Wednesday was. Maybe Parker and Joe and Mark can make it, too. It would be...

Hey C, Ahh...you're a good lad. I wasn't sure whether anyone was interested in finding a regular "local" for the Chicago ET Club on Friday afternoons, but I think it's a GREAT idea! I did a little MetroMix search of downtown pubs that might be suitable, and here is a short list: Monk's...
