    Cattle Futures -- Locked LimitDown

    Hi Surfer, Last week in another thread we were discussing the pros/cons of futures vs. forex. Risk may be less in the forex side, and this limit down on Cattle is an example. One forex broker's site is now offering 'margin/risk management' that is described as an automatic margin call...

    dollar overdue for rebound?

    A Dollar bounce in January as equities build on gains above Dow 10,000 seems very possible. Then back down to set new lows by Feb/Mar. Just an opinion.... (I never trade on my opinions, only what the chart is doing at any time!!! The market really doesn't care what my opinion is. )...

    marketsurfer trys forex--part 2

    Hi Surfer, I use futures with IB in the morning, and OANDA in the evening with the Asian markets. I trade only EUR/USD. I use OANDA in the evening because the futures market is not as liquid as the spot market at that time. My concern is that if there was a big swing in the spot market, by...

    Besides the fact that capitalism

    Laughing a lot around here today! Your laughing probably caused you to ignore my question: who is going to pay for your "more efficient capitalism that will allow for things we cannot conceptualize"? Also, do you think the majority of the population will agree with the changes necessary...

    Besides the fact that capitalism

    What you are describing is closer to a totaltarian dictatorship than capitalism. Suggested readings: The Republic by Plato The Wealth of Nations by Adams The Open Society by Popper Not a long list, but a very good start. I wonder who is going to pay for your "more efficient...

    Today's BONDS!

    Don't ED contracts have more volume? How does the Eurodollar 90-day interest rate contract compare to the notes and bonds? I am comparing the charts and its not much help. Sorry, for the simple question, but thank you in advance. Mike

    Are software guys just buffers?

    Cheaper hardware will only create demand for more software. Not less. You cannot suggest a single advance in hardware technology over the past 20 years that did not create an increased demand in software. Modems? More basic communication software. Faster CPUs? More graphics software...

    Are software guys just buffers?

    This is a 1989 perspective! Before 1991/92 everyone thought that you had to have hardware to sell a product. Apple was making great margins on its Macintosh product line. In 1991(?) in Harvard Business Review there was a milestone article titled "The Computerless Computer Company" suggesting...

    Any event 40 minutes ago?

    Euro heading toward 1.20, gold heading toward $400. Bonds/Notes lower. Anything with a $ relationship is moving. This is in spite of good econ reports this morning. (IMHO) December could be interesting. If Craver's projection of a Melt-up is going to happen, it should be showing.

    Announcing TradeStation 7.2

    I upgraded to 7.2 last night. I can put a different Workspace on each monitor. Very nice. Before upgrading I Exported all of my custom indicators to a backup file. When I upgraded 7.2 did not 'verify' my custom indicators and nothing worked. The solution I used to get them working again...

    Dam IB logged off 3 times...

    I agree it doesn't make sense. I called and also emailed and did not get a response yesterday. For the size of the customer base there should be better technical support.

    Holy Grail for min bid of 150000 on ebay

    ET should start a 'Darwin Awards' contest for traders who 'select themselves for financial extinction'. We could nominate Darwin candidates for selection on April Fools Day. Who would we name a 'darwin awards' for traders contest after? http://www.darwinawards.com/
