The following is today's commentary from Bill Fleckenstein on RealMoney.com: Turning to the news, I need to take exception to a story in yesterday's Financial Times titled "Short-Selling Faces Clampdown by SEC." I will grant it high marks, however, for illuminating the fact that markets make...

Uh, because your looking in the mirror!!!!

I get the feeling your fear of losing is greater than your need to make a profit. So, how about this? Every time you fail to pull the trigger when your system gives a valid signal, you write a check to your favorite charity in an amount equal to your expected profit target. This way...

Wally, I would have to say your Ph.D. in theoretical physics trumps my Juris Doctorate degree. :D Damn, and you made me go to Webster's to look up pedagogical too. Seriously, though, I think if Jack really wanted to better the lives of others he could have formulated a much simpler...

I like Version77's idea, Dawg, devote a separate thread to Jack's system. I thought about doing the same thing you did., particularly after Jack said 45 ES points was "normal". What a crock!!! For kicks, I backtested for a week starting this month, and was not impressed. I have BA in...

Mr. Hershey, I have read some of your postings here, and I have a question on methodology. Assuming a 5 min. chart is being used, and both stochastic lines breach either the upper or lower band, is the proper methodology to wait until the close of that 5 min. bar to ensure that the stochastic...

It wasn't Bre-X was it?

Tampa, I'll be glad to pay for your bus ticket to North Carolina. I hear there are a lot of other Florida malcontents up there you can comisserate with.

Looks to me like its back to the drawing board. If your looking for an edge, ala a system, peruse the Keeping It Simple thread for ideas. But, I have to wonder whether anyone who had a really profitable system would share it in public, for fear that if too many people used it it would disrupt...

Well, he has been calling for a turn at S&P 810ish for the last couple of days, and went 1/4 long yesterday afternoon, and another 1/4 this morning. Then at 3:00 he posted this: Watch S&P 810 as a potential pivot point--I 'think' there are some "buy stops" above it and, as it's an...

Is it just me or has Toddo gotten more lucid and to the point lately? He has made some damn good observations/calls since I bought a subscription.

Nice house in Clearwater will go for around $100-125/sq. ft.

Hey Gotta_Trade, I live in Clearwater. Let me know if you want me to recommend a good realtor.

WoW. Check out your time and sales, some people really got reemed.

ESTrader99, here is a link to a screen shot of FFasttrade's Remote Pro Platform. http://www.ffasttrade.com/content/trading_platforms/remote_pro.shtm# The platform is customizable in terms of which windows you wish to have open, and their placement on the screen.

FFasttrade commission for e-minis is $3.32 roundturn. There is a $550.00/mo. platform fee. Since I average about 30 contracts/day, for me they are the least expensive firm I have found. In addition, they have a great platform. I have been using them for about a month, and I'm very pleased...

Hey Tom. Way to go with the sponsorship. Whether someone trades with IB, AF, FFasttrade, or other firm, they need to realize that competition is good for the consumer. I want to think of these guys as the Burger King, Wendy's and McDonalds of the futures industry. I want them all trying to...

Well, I for one appreciate Riskless' posts. I had been trading equities with Terranova for about five years, and had recently moved to e-minis for obvious reasons. Terranova has outrageously high fees for e-minis. I came across ET, and read some of the posts about IB and poor customer...
