So were those stocks added to the index? How much $$ is in Russell index funds or ETFs? Do those stocks go up in a down market because they need to be purchased by index funds? (Pretend you are explaining it to a 4 year old - thanks! :) )

weird shnit! Market closes and the ER2 shoots up ... 5 points?

I don't really consider it a good call to come in and post on June 15 that I got a "sell" on May 11. :D It is a very simple and crude trend following system. The problem with systems like this is they are subject to being whipsawed. In fact it was remarkable that this system gave a sell...

What will you be trading?

I am staying away from ER for a couple of days. Is there a consensus as to what the rebalancing does to the index? They are adding stocks and subtracting stocks from the index, right? This is done once a year. Does it happen at a particular time today? Since I don't know exactly what...

2:06 pm exactly here.......

This thing is leaping 3 and 4 tics at a time, right? (tic=.25)(It's not my system getting hung up is it?) bit more volatile than usual.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. So they are reconstituting the indices on Friday. I don't see any mention of the 2000 index. Only the 3000 and the microcap. What will the net effect be on the index? If there is front running I would guess the consensus is down. Any idea why...

That is far too direct. If you want a loyal following on this forum you will have to develop a mystical air of superiority and make your prognostications vaguely ambiguous. It also helps if you use big words inappropriately. :D

More news - I didn't even know USAT had this technology to make vending machines cool more efficiently (= use less energy = save money AND energy). I really like this company, although price action has been terrible. Every time there is a new press release announcing a new deal, the stock...

Very simple end of day trend following system which signaled short on May 11 finally turned positive today.

weird close, ES making new highs and ER plunging! :confused:

Exactly! My guess is most (but not all) of the participants in this thread are trading by themselves, most at home, maybe some have an office, still solo. If you are in a trading room with 10 other traders to talk to about the market and your trade ideas chances are you don't need this...

We have discussed this before - setting charts to show day session vs 24 hours, but on a day like today if you exclude price action prior to 9:30 am stock market open, aren't you losing a lot of important price action? I would like to eliminate the dead area from 5pm the night before through...

DOM = "Depth of Market" Click based trading with intuitive grid display of market depth Do you have a trading platform with realtime feeds? DOM is the little window that most use for trading. It shows the bids with size on the left, going down, and the offers with size going up, on the...

10yr auction coming near the lows of the day. (reopening)

Keep in mind there is a 10yr auction today, so much of the early weakness in treasuries is setup for the auction at 1pm. A successful auction will likely cause a pop in treasuries which would also be positive for stocks.

That's what I would do. INX 50 day is 1493. The basis is 15 points, so equivalent futures price would be 1508.

I would be very interested in reading your comments on that subject - or any other relevant topic for that matter! :) Which raises the question - how much time do you spend in preparation outside of market hours? My guess is that you and others spend a considerable amount of time...

What do you not know how to do? This forum has a very nice feature that lets you attach files from your own computer. At the bottom of the reply box you see: and there is a box with a browse button that lets you look for files on your computer. If you have a picture of a chart you can...
