Just now, "where" rather than "were", from an apparently native spicker. What kind of cross-wiring makes that happen? Does he write what instead of hat? Whet rather than wet? Comme c'est etrange!

Greatmatez (Venezuelan, or bad Aussie?), Just tell them: "Dicks dribble, mouths drivel."

Let's get this straight. THEY are not the liquidity providers, YOU as a speculating market order trader are. They hold the position they took with you just long enough to accumulate enough pissant lots to offset the big position they just took with a market order hedger.

It is time to devive this valuable thread. Today's champ is: "indervidual." The Bronx spelling, perhaps? Written by a poster who appears to be a native speaker, or at least fakes it good.

On another computer with a little less protection the site slammed thirteen cookies into me from advertisers and ad trackers upon log in.

Didn't work. Actually, I like this because if everybody has this problem eventually all the active members will be permanently logged in and we can see how few there really are.

I ungree. Deflation is great if you're sitting on cash.

TZ, you describe the world of the rational, logical, systematic trader. I am an irrational, illogical, unsystematic trader. Just because it is indefinable doesn't mean it isn't an edge. And what is wrong with guessing? Let's not pretend that systematic trading is not guessing, especially in the...

Travis, I think you miss the whole point. You are winning because you DESERVE to. You are special, wonderful, chosen, destined, marked, blessed, become, smiled upon, loved, even. Just don't mess it up. If you need therapy I have a slot available Tuesdays at 4PM CT. I share your pain because I...

Apologies to Dobbes, the thread starter, for what to him must seem a diversion, but this IS ET. You see here two camps forming. The expectationists, and the expectorationists, those of us for whom expectation might as well be spit. I do not care about expectation, as long as it is comfortably...

You will be far better off if you subscribe to a service like eSignal and learn to code in their language. If you think that's hard, hire someone to teach you. Then your ideas remain your own and you have the facility to test new ideas without paying anyone else.

He stole the idea from me: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=1120324&highlight=philharmonic#post1120324 It must have been a good idea, because moderation immediately closed the thread. One of my better threads, I thought, written before my shrink Dr. Mudgins found the...

I noticed the same thing. I assumed they had solved the problem of multiple aliases, as I was about to log in as myself. I deleted all the ET cookies (an ass-tonishing number of parasites invade your computer from there), relogged on my internet service to get a new IP, and still it wouldn't...

Beginnerjohn and NoDoji, welcome to my word of irrational trading. Existence is holtropic. "All" you have to do is see the future that coexists with the present and act upon it. My trading is absurd. Abstruse. Recondite. Nagual. Voudoun, perhaps. Many would-be traders already hear these trades...

It is vague because an edge is simultaneously the absence of something and the presence of many things at once. The absences are that: anything you read in a book is not an edge anything you read here is not an edge anything you find in a charting application is not an edge anything...

Thanks, guys. Years ago I watched the premium closely, seeking cosmic significance in it, and got out of the habit when I realized it hurt my head less to think of price as just a number. Was reading too much Hershey back then. Price is like your dick. The only thing that matters is if it's up...

Thanks, Peckerlow, I see from here: http://www.indexarb.com/index.html that the premium for NQ wasn't excessively negative in the -2 range. I'm just not used to thinking of dividends on the NASDAQ 100 as having any consequence relative to short-term interest rates. And for those of you...

I am really showing my ignorance (or inattention) here, but I don't EVER recall a negative premium except momentarily intraday. Interest rates aren't negative and there ain't no negative dividends. Some genius will explain it to a feeble-minded old man and feel superior.

The logical but absurd explanation is that smart money (futures traders) think the dumb money is overpricing stocks. Been this way for three days.

Can anybody explain to a simple country boy why the premium is negative?
