    Senate says halt oil reserve shipments

    What political grandstanding. We're going to stop now that it's 97% full anyway?

    3 AM EU dump-o-thon

    I've been noticing some overnight trends, too (on YM and ES). I'm started to work on my code to collect the overnight trading, since IB doesn't collect that for me. Guess I'll add the Euro contract in, too.

    system flush

    I did the diet, water cure, and liver flush parts of this one: http://curezone.com/cleanse/ The liver flush was miserable for a couple of days, but I did feel better afterward. Less sluggish is a good way to describe it. The pictures on that page are gross, btw, just to warn you...

    system flush

    http://www.curezone.com has several and active message boards, so you can ask questions to people who have tried them. They don't sell any products, just have instructions for each cleanse. Boiron makes a homeopathic medicine to help with smoking urges, my mom said it helped her quit for...

    What time does Fed info get released?

    No, I'm different. I've seen SusanaDT around, too. Is the trading always this crazy when the Fed announces? I was watching the YM future on the Dow trade when it got announced. Traded in a 100-point range within a minute.

    What time does Fed info get released?

    I'm paper trading except for some semi-long positions. Trying to soak it all up. Save your insults.

    How predictive is volume to index futures?

    NoProblem, I'd seen you post about the guy on YouTube earlier. I was planning on watching those videos sometime soon. Good to know he covers watching the volume, too. Yeah, ultimately price is all that matters, and I prefer watching price action to just looking at the charts, but I only get...

    How predictive is volume to index futures?

    How predictive is volume to index futures, since they are ultimately controlled by what the index is valued at, which is controlled by the individual stock prices? I know the futures don't move exactly with the index, they definitely reflect the sentiment of the recent past and hang up at all...

    Prepping for the trading day

    Since this thread took a turn anyway, the herb vinpocetine really does wonders for my thinking, I usually have one of those in the morning.

    Lol! Cramer: "higher Oil Is A Good Thing"

    If oil gets high enough, people will be willing to pay a much higher price for alternative energy, since the other choice will be expensive oil. I don't see the huge need for the government to support this. Just let capitalism work. I think the same thing about funding drug research on...

    Airline stocks

    Anyone have an opinion on PNCL? Just glancing at it it looks like it might be a good bet. ETA: Okay, doing my DD now and seeing the big risks associated with it. It's basically married to NWA for all of its business it seems.

    Buy TXN B4 earnings

    You're not serious are you? That's a tiny part of their business. But, yes, they are facing commoditization of almost everything they make and most of their new innovations didn't take off so well (they were betting big on DLP, but plasma and LCD are pretty much the whole market now).

    Traders: who does your taxes?

    I don't think you're ever "required" to make estimated tax payments, it's just a way to avoid a penalty if you do it (it's called prior year safe harbor if you want to look up more about it). If you know you're a big loser the next year, then just stop the estimated payments.

    Automated Options Trading

    Would there be any way for IB's interface to know if you used something like Expect to script up interfacing with their GUI? Would be a lot more trouble than using the API, but is doable.

    One month after BSC. 28 days after FED plans... What will happen?

    It looks like Freddie Mac is going to bail out the 4 major banks. That will prop up the market. The dollar will probably be what eventually takes the hit, although that is probably going to slow somewhat since the Europeans are starting to see inflation so it'll be harder for the dollar to...
