Maharaja, My brother works as a tech at an Intel fab. I routinely hear stories about engineers and their compensation packages. Given their stock options, salary, and bonuses, I'd definately say stick with your plan. Day trading is a "crap shoot" for the beginners; even if you strike it...

The correlation between the two exists because they are both interest rate products but on opposite ends of the yield curve. Same could be said for JGB and euroyen.

I have tested the system as outlined in the .pdf file at originalturtles.org and it worked well. Just because a system doesn't work on DJIA doesn't make it a bad system. I works well in bonds and currencies specifically, and as previously mentioned, their money management is what made the...

Take note that he subscribes to the random theory. Also, he is using a purely mathmatical model with no fundamental basis. I notice many of these purely mathematical models seem to fail as the ramdom-walkers are constantly proven wrong. Also note that he is a geologist; no formal training in...

It is a very interesting question. I would assume it would depend on China's internal condition (interest rates, current account, GDP, etc) and application of the good ole Quantity Theory...... I have no idea what the internal condition of China is. Does anyone have any links that provide any...

I've talked with him several times and he does seem like a good guy. He definately helps them by giving them a good customer service rap, something that seems rare in this industry today (like IB). I am comforted that Open e-Cry has some fans here; I hadn't heard of em before about 3 months...

Thanks saxon, waggie, and fast trader. I havn't looked into Refco too much, mainly because, when I did in the past, I couldn't find any rates posted on their website. I could've called them, but we all know that means weekly follow-up calls for about two months. :p I should clarify...

I am looking to swith to a broker that offers pit contracts. Also, I'm sick with IB's reliablility issues from time to time. I've talked to Open e-Cry and they offered some decent rates, but there isn't much information about them on here. I use Tradestation software, so swithing to them...

That is a good article. I think Greenspan is right. But you left out one fact: this was written in 1966. Greenspan is one of those responsible for your "toilet paper" US currency. In my opinion there is much validity in that article, but that's not how the modern world conducts itself...

Was the meeting you were referring to organized on the wealthlab boards? I was thinking about attending but I spaced the date.

Though this is a digression from the thread topic, does anyone know why agricultural products aren't traded on the electronic market during normal market hours. I would've figured that they would at least trade the mini agricultural products with the new ecbot release.....are they just trying...

If you have an economics degree than I would have thought you would appreciate taxes from an economic sense. America is full of "bad" taxes, but taxes at their core are a very crutial part of our economy and wealth distribution. Are our taxes a bit too much in some ways? I'd answer yes, but...

We live in a dynamic world and economic thought changes with everything else. The Philiips Curve is a good example of economic theory changing with time. Hyperinflation is bad, and I would hardly call our inflation in the last twenty years hyperinflation.

First, please do some research on the subject before you make outrageous claims; for instance, what defines standard of living? If you want information on the deceptiveness of international economic statistics, please find a copy of "Comparative Economics" by James Angresano; chapter two deals...

I have used both and I chose Tradestation. Wealthlab is a good tool but has its downsides. The code is very confusing if you're coming from Tradestation or you aren't comfortable with programming languages. Making a simple system takes about twice as much time with Wealthlab than Tradestation...

Unfortunately, I think he's right. You can get a BS in economics, but economics is less scientific than Underwater Basket Weaving. In (macro)economics there is a lack of causality. If you ask five economists "What are the long term effects of a weak dollar" odds are you're gonna get five...

Please don't take this as an arrogant post, but.... The only way you're going to understand this is if you get a good textbook get a refresher in economics. The question (like most economic questions) has many variables other than the simple money supply. Take a look at the IS-LM model...

I noticed that was the Register-Guard in Eugene. Are you in Oregon? Just curious; I grew up in Roseburg, and now live in Portland.

www.bea.gov http://research.stlouisfed.org/index.html St Louis Fed is great; I spend hours every week at that site.

It is funny how you have gone from posting intelligent-sounding opinions to spewing boring defensive insults. Anyway, I have a few questions for you: 1. Do you even trade? Your opinions don't sound like that of a person who is a profitable trader, because capitalism is what gives traders a...
