How is the board crush margin for Canola (Rapeseed oil) calculated? Should it be calculated off Soybeans or Corn? I read that the correlation of Canola to Corn is more appropriate... Wanted to hear some thoughts

Figured there was smthng wrong with this pic! Thx, I feel that much less stupid now :)

What is the correlation btw the Vix and the S&P? It seems to me that the Vix would plunge in a bullish mkt and vice versa, so then why does the following chart shows a nearly perfect positive corellation?

too bad a trader like John is not interviewed in Market wiz 4! really too bad...

Impressive to say the least...gotta love a meltdown. I had what I would call a good day, but not nearly as good :). I don't trade that size either...well done! Mind me asking what products you trade?

What's this gibberish 'whiz kid' thing? So much for giving credit where credit is due. The guy was a solid trader, built strong systems and cleaned up for a long time. If this isn't a display of raw talent then I don't know what is. You only get lucky for so long...

dolphins10, i like your consistency...but TT isn't a cheap software, how do you do with the numbers you pull? if you don't mind me asking, or maybe i'm just getting screwed by TT!!!

As usual, very well said Mav. Thank you so much for the great input, it's always nice to have these perspectives brought back to surface.

I don't have many limits on the DAX and only trade it with max 2 lots, which is more than plenty at the moment, but i was wondering if there were many DAX traders out there and if so, how do you trade it. Do you only trade breakups/breakdowns on it? Do you have an automated trading system or...

Hi everyone, Just wanted a general idea as to thoughts on the afternoon session: Preferably considering futures trading...

Not by coincidence? Mind explaining that... I have a real hard time buying things at 14 times earnings with 2%growth....on days like today i feel like i'm the only one

wow....wow!!! what a pop

this may sound a little foolish but i'd rather ask than stay ignorant. Can you daytrade spreads? Are they tradeable through TT? Do i have to manually make a spread?

wow...now that's a selloff! Can we say A down!!!

Mav, Once again, some very informative stuff. Your input and analysis on these numbers are golden. I also agree with you that the market doesn't turn from bullish to bearish overnight, unless a major news event acts as a catalyst for the masses to change direction overnight. On my...

Hell of a lot better to read your thoughts than listen to CNBC during lunchtime.... :)

This forum has been awfully quiet as of late.... maybe its due to all this volatility in the afternoon....it's got all the traders busy :D :D :D

Well said. After spending a few days on ZH you feel like selling the world!

Is it OK to have a 20-min OR (4 x 5min candles) but yet trade off 5min charts time frame. Also, what time frames do you guys use when testing day/week/month A levels? To be more clear, if you trade off a 5min time frame then your A level should be confirmed after 2.5min. On a weekly...

I was always told "intuition is what separates great traders from good traders". I have to say that after AAPL mind blowing #'s and yesterday's strength I did expect this mkt to be up!
