MTB - triple bottom of 78.80 which is 3-day support and 3 month support

btw OEC need a better way to withdraw and deposit funds though. They still use bank wires. They should start using ACH for usa and SEPA for europe for both deposits and withdrawals, like IB. They have cheap deposits but withdrawals are still too costly.

No. Spread betting on sports is going against the bookie. Spread betting on trading is going against the market. It's a huge difference (although some will argue with spread betting you are still against a bucketshop, which is also a bookie)

I have reason to believe the recent rise is influenced by retail buying. The dumb money is getting back in... Therefore I don't think there will be a pullback just yet, maybe well go to 1250 the next 2 months

what do you generally think is a good timeframe to be wary of early exercise? 7,10,14 days before expiration? 4 weeks? 8 weeks? If it's 7 days before expiration i would think theres not much premium on the table anymore for the option buyer and much less possible movement of the underlying your...

outsourcing is a way to circumvent regulations and taxes in the own country, like USA. It is definately bad for the workers whose jobs are being outsourced, unless theres an equal flow of outsourcing returning to the same country. As that's never the case, outsourcing is generally a negative for...

would a software programmer have more chance of making it in trading compared to doctors, lawyers etc.?

WHat happens if you write a 1 year put-call for example out april ´11 and its becomes in the money, then can people exercise it? so than you have to reserve money to buy 100 shares of a stock? How much margin u then need? :confused: also why do options have 0,05 tick size??:eek:

The existential questions cannot be answered. You can see it in everyday life that nobody believes them to be able to be answered. For example you have Men of God killing people. They wouldn't do that if they really believed in God. Or you have "pro-life" people killing people. Humans can be so...

the thrid one is a good saying but a guru says those things to fill up the time or to hide that they can't trade but have good "psychology". It's fluff basically. A chart is a chart is said by gurus that say my technical analysis has no limits and work on all charts. We all know this not to...

You can't trade for a living with either bad psychology 1% bad system 9% bad capital 90% 5k$ wont cut it. Living expenses are 1000 a month. You can't compound money that way that fast. Even 10% a month is hard for a noob. it doesnt goes like 5k-10k-15k only if ur lucky by using high...

This article clearly displayes the myth of daytrading for a living. These guys have been trading 10 years and make 100k a year. You can make more being an attorney and doctor with much lower fail rates. These guys sell a chat room for $200 a month. If they get 50 subscribers they can get...

It's very easy to get an A in American school and universities. I've been there. In Europe school is harder. Ofcourse this is probably bad for Europeans, because people tend to value american education more, even though it produces worthless employees who dont know shit.:eek:
