I can't account for the sighting in 2000, but what you saw today was me driving home from a very looooong Halloween party. Hope that doesn't spoil your weekend and good luck with your short position.

Today's CME file gx031113.iom does not contain NQ data. On the odd occasion when this has happened in the past, notifying the CME did not help. To be fair, their tick data is the cleanest you'll find anywhere and you get what you pay for.

Good question, Mike. It would be easy to blame the market, so I won't - hence my use of it was as if the market had "changed", with changed in quotation marks, in TheStudent's thread. I believe that the combination of everything (stops, target, time of taking temperature, what to measure as...

All good advice till now and there's more here : http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=24127 and in many other threads in Strategy Trading in particular, and EliteTrader in general. My magic numbers after backtesting a year's ES tickdata and generating 1 trade per day were...

Future dividends, among other things. http://www.cme.com/prd/eq/fairvalue2543.html Edit : I just noticed that you were talking about the difference in the daily price change, and not between the cash index (SPX) and the futures price (ES) which I've tried explaining above. I therefore have...

aphie, I'm pleasantly surprised - you're a bit young to have such good taste.

What you are saying is true for the Australian dollar only ie. if your account is funded with 100,000 AUD, you will get approximately 300 AUD credit interest per month. With 100,000 USD, it comes to about 41 USD per month. So those with accounts less than 100K would be looking at about a $20...

There is virtually no use of bold in the book I have (hard covered, NYIF, 1990, ISBN 0-13-215757-8, Barcode 9 780132 157575), only for headings. Certainly no bold sentences on the left side of the page in the middle toward the end of the book.

No, you are still the favorite to win, but your chances of winning the hand go down when compared to, say, 2 fish calling you to the river. On the other hand, your expectation with more players in the pot goes up. Nice to hear of your online exploits :)

Since your first post here some 5 hours ago, your posting tally stood at 116, one of which was in Psychology, the other 115 being in Chit Chat. It's good to see you finally break out of Chit Chat, but I suggest you take a more subdued approach - remember, in Chit Chat you were papertrading, the...

What's with the "yet again" shtick - this is the first I'm hearing about a new trader with a series of losses. Gimme a break. I fully agree.

You've answered the question yourself - flip the script - somewhere out there is a lucky bastard with 15 winning trades in a row. This is not a complete answer to your question, but you get my drift :)

$99. We both know where this is heading. But answer me this one question (seeing as you ignored the previous ones) - assume all traders in the universe are random entry, fixed % of equity traders, enjoying no slippage or commissions. Possible, no? Into which black hole does all the money they...

$90. My twin brother, who is also my business partner, happened to make $10 taking the other side of the trade. Our joint account shows a zero P&L. Next.

What specifically is unclear in my description? For a question on expected value, should it matter? Indulge me with just a few more keystrokes - what is that answer? Neither do I in my calculations. My question was very practical - one any hedge fund manager would ask of a prospective trader. I...

OK, quick answer then, no coin flips, just trades : dbphoenix, with $100,000 equity, sits in a room trading commission and slippage free (that much you've already ceded), using random entries and the assumptions previously outlined, and does 2 trades, each time risking 1% of equity, with r:r...
