Art, enjoy your biases here. Also enjoyed the recent article in Active Trader. Been wanting to review what each of the biases means. Chris

In case you didn't notice, buy 1000, sell 1000 = position closed. But unless you have an account with another broker this could not work, and even if you did, all you would benefit is both brokers. Puts would be the hedge. Make 'em pretty, Chris

I don't necessarily think that just because the YM is on the ECBOT it is low volume. Dow futures have been out what 1/12 to 1/15th as long. The ZN & ZB are 2 of the largest traded contracts and were on the ECBOT. However they are behind the Eurodollar on the CME. Make'em pretty, Chris

That was kinda my first thought. How do you spell monopoly? Make 'em pretty, Chris

It is not so much the actual system as it is to have a written set of rules and methodology that one sticks with. That was a good post Miragers. If just to show the plan laid out. Make 'em pretty, Chris

If you are in a trade without a strategy for the exit, (other than with a profit) then bail out now and reevaluate why you entered the trade. Or would you enter long at this point? Yes stay, no get out. Make 'em pretty, Chris

Very interesting thoughts and opinions...here are a couple more. For most people (those paying the payroll tax) to see the need or to say there is no need(for tax reform), they should see how much is being taken away each and every paycheck. Yes I realize there is the listing of the tax and...

This thread was dedicated to the discussion of the bonds and notes - not a personnal trading journal, (which I believe you have elsewhere, which I do also read) would be nice if we could keep it that way. Chris

Geez - maybe you should have been short instead. But theres always gotta be at least one.

If it is real news - seven tick selloff before news, is nothing - just anticipitory entering. The buyers and sellers are not even thinning out, or rather at this point they didn't thin out. Make 'em pretty, Chris

He made the front page of the paper here in Kalispell. We all make choices, some educated and some not, he made his and I will bet the truth is in there somewhere. I certainly have a certain amount of respect for what he has accomplished and wish for him a successful outcome. Chris

Nothing wrong with being happy now is there!! However I would bet that is not what you were referencing were you? So to answer your question.... Its an anomoly - not natural - will not ensure survival of ANY species. Chris

I would ask you in return a couple of questions. What is your goal in trading - is it in fact money, excitement, to gamble or?? You indicate you have a plan - Jango has given some good adive - you need ALL parts to your plan; entry, loss exit, reentry point, profit exit and position size...

Perspectives are always amazing - how many millions upon millions of people live 3 - 4 times below. I am currently about 3x below this and doing just fine. (does not include any trading income, which is not enough to count) Make 'em pretty, Chris

Thanks for the input - reading whats in the kit I had about the same impression. Just thought I'd check.

Thanks Walter, I just about forgot I asked this question. I am looking at their CPO start up kits - seems like it could save some time, but not sure if it would be worth the cost. Chris

I mean no offense towards you or anyone. This is your responsibility - and it is mine to protect myself from stupid ideas. Chris I realize this was not a repsonse to me, I just felt you hit the nail on the head here and why I got so irritated. My appologies to NPP for an unnesassary...

I don't want to get in a pissing match here - npp's threads usually offer some good insight and ideas worth looking into. That being said - the man made a statement then turned around and went against that statement. Then, as I saw it, went on to state how this idea won't and can't work, and...

Obviously not a man of your word. Your rightoues indignation and attitude are a total drag. Thanks for keeping us all safe from ourselves. And in reality it is the way to develop a system. Start with an idea test some stuff trade some stuff change some stuff. Make 'em pretty, Chris

Could you not, for the sake of continuity, edit out something like this? If this is an end of month deal could you not prepare for and fix this when it occurs? Thanks, Chris
