Oh come on. What is not to get? The president sets the tone for the US economy in so many ways. You think not?? Let's start with the appointment of the Fed chairman. Some people think he is even more powerful than the president. saxon

You are correct. QM & QG are cash settled. I called NYMEX a while back to make absolutely sure of that. Didn't fancy the idea of an oil truck pulling up outside my apartment if I forgot to close a long position. :) saxon

Looks ok. Not the holy grail, but ok...assuming you have allowed for commissions, slippage, etc., in these numbers. Two performance items look like they could use some improvement: Percent Profitable.......55.73% (Should be closer to 80%...for my taste) Adj. Net Prof as % of...

Noon?? I've never been up that early...but I'll try. :cool:

With all due respect, the topic discussed in the thread below is probably more likely to have major business implications, even though it is years away. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=27294 saxon

Just don't make the mistake of plunking it all in bonds, as some kind of "safety" play. I remember an old trader refering to bonds as "the stuff that kills you slowly". :p

I live very near Hooters, so I'll try and make it. see you mugs there, saxon

It must have been the mention of 250k that seems to have given everybody a woody on this thread. :p

Arnie, I think if you re-read my post, you'll find that is exactly what I said. :(

eSignal@Refco is basically just the eSignal software customized for Refco order entry. The main advantage is that, if you are already an eSignal subscriber like me, you don't have to pay for streaming quote data twice. You just click on an eSignal chart, and it transmits an order via your...

I wrote to IB management with that suggestion a while back and got this reply from Thomas Peterffy, the chairman of IB (with how many other firms would THAT happen): We are working on our 24/7 version currently. We serve so many different markets and time zones that there is no easy...

I think a lot of IB customers (myself included) are spoiled a bit. After you're in the big IB tent for awhile, you come to expect a very high level of service. But if you have occasion to try some other brokers as I recently did, I think you will have a whole new appreciation for how far ahead...

I just opened a Refco account about a month ago as a backup. After I finally got the account set up right, it has been fine. I use "eSignal @ Refco" and like it pretty well. The $4/RT sounds good. But I think there is a minimum of 50 RT's a month to get that rate. One thing I like about...

I suppose you're right, Cutten. Just a little surprised that he would choose to spotlight the war debate at this point. Don't see much upside in doing that.

pinko... :D Sounds like 60's crappola to me...or maybe 50's. You go way back, don't ya Winst.

LOL!! You guys kill me. I guess I need to spell it out for the slow ones in the class. I'm basically making the point that the President of the United States does not feel that the economic recovery is going to be a strong enough issue for him to focus his campaign around in the Fall...

Think hard now... :confused:

If an incumbent president CAN, he is much better off waving the front page of the Wall Street Journal during a campaign, than waving the American flag. In the end, people care more about their pocket books than they do about political ideology and patriotism. So why has the president spent...

I've never been brave enough to check it out, but somebody told me that the best ribs in Chicago are at a place on west Division in what was the Cabrini Greene area. It is (or was) called Farmer John's. They actually shoved your ribs to you under a bullet-proof glass window! :p
