Way to go wannabe! How do you feel about the fact that if you could repeat this week's performance every week you would be a millionaire in a few months time?

I must admit I don't quite understand everything you are saying, but what I find interesting is that you try to look at everything kind of backwards. Usually, you have some sort of indicator or buy and sell signals, and you test how well those signals perform, i.e. you determine a hit/miss...

Until yesterday, QQQ on ISLD has been claimed by some to lead the futures. But that is all ancient history now. Others say the DJIA cash leads S&P futures. I think if there is anything that sometimes leads stock index futures for big intraday moves, it's the TICK. Or we can just accept...

I am not suggesting anyone should kill anyone. On the contrary, if you ask me directly, I very much oppose any war. All I am saying is that violation of UN resolutions or illegal possession of weapons of mass destruction would not make as strong a case against Iraq as it would against Israel...

If the only thing that happens is the removal or nuke-age of my post, then this country is not quite there yet.

Last time I checked DIA was trading about 7900 points below the DJIA.

Wow! A 500x contract! One of those must be worth $800,000. I wonder what the margin requirement on those might be.

Would you like to share with us exactly which cme contract has tight spreads? (Unless you consider 50 basis points a tight spread.)

I've got news for you: This IS a totalitarian regime. In a few weeks you will even have unprovoked aggression against a defenseless country. It's like it was in Nazi Germany when the leaders in their speeches would go "Do you want the total war?" and the croud would applaud them. And like...

I think I have a suggstion for IB (but maybe someone with a multi-million dollar account should make it to them): Instead of the SMART algorithm they will be using for SPY on Monday, namely TMBR IOC -> marketable yes/no ... why don't they do the following: TMBR IOC -> ISLD IOC ->...

Quite frankly, I don't think it is us who make their lives miserable, just like counters don't make casino owners' lives miserable and mosquitos don't make your life miserable. And even from our point of view, there is such a lot of unfair discrimination, ruthless killing and, yes, communist...

Ah! The old Crayola Oblongata.

No need for complicating things. The person who exercises an option gets only its intrinsic value out of the transaction. Since the value of an option cannot be less than its intrinsic value (or can it?!) the assigned party is favored.

Which bull markets have you traded with this system?

The specialist works just like you and me, with the exception that he gets your order and can then decide whether and where he wants to fill you, whereas you are bound by the terms of your order the millisecond you enter it. I don't think anyone has a chance trading against the specialist...

Can anyone give us an idea as to what bullets cost you at a prop firm?

Personally, I would like to see other things preferenced in the IB development queue. Tick-by-tick quotes would be nice, but it's probably not going to happen. Instead of bullets, how would you like a sell order that automatically stays at the best offer (within a limit you can set, of...

Thank you for the information, but that's past my bedtime anyway.

I use the TICK 1. for divergence: If I am about to go long, but the TICK shows lower highs, while the DJIA shows higher highs in the last few minutes, I stay out. 2. In the case of an unexpected afternoon rally, TICK is usually the first signal, and it is very strong long before you see...

The ES are closed from 4:15 pm - 4:45 pm Eastern (someone correct me if I'm wrong) for no good reason. I'm sure the CME has some bs reason, maybe they are running MS Windows, which according to Bill Gates should be rebooted at least once per day.
