There's money to be made or lost with an increase in volatility. Be sure that you have an excellent sense of the market.

But do those OSes support multithreading as well as a later version? Without that support, your dual cores aren't going to be used effectively.

Take the job, if you're interested in trading. A risk manager will always be hovering nearby, more than likely via computer monitoring your trades (the "risk manager" may be a program). You will get to trade more if you show that you're successful.

What a broker might do with a hidden order, if you want to buy 10: They will show one on the bid. When that gets filled, they will show another and so on. Your order goes to the exchange one contract at a time.

The reason that daytraders may be considered crazy, is that most people are risk adverse. So, they think, "Why would anyone risk losing money every day, if they could just go to work and collect a check." However, many would like to daytrade successfully, so they may resent a failed daytrader...

I think next support on SPX is in the 1490s, seriously. If that breaks, watch out below!

I was watching ES, trin and tick today. It seemed that when there was a negative tick extreme there would be some buying, but then the buyers got slammed when the tick went positive, say over 250-750. Can anyone suggest any ES trading methods based on tick and trin? Is it different on a day...

"In another thread, I pointed out this obvious Bump and Run Formation. It is this formation that has been responsible for the majority of train wreck indexes such as the Tech Bubble/Crash of 2000 and the homebuilding stocks of 2004-2005 that came down in short order." It wasn't a chart that...

Everyone front running smart money busted today, at every point. What a day! Great victory for the people!

What about a short ema (4 or 8), then linearize that curve (least squares? (it's been awhile)). I don't know whether that would give you more than two points.

You have a trendline drawn there. How did you decide that that is the trendline? For any chart with more than two bars/candles there is more than one trendline that can be drawn. With more than two bars/candles, you are going to have to choose one of many potential trend lines. How do you do...

Slowly unloading onto the next set of bag holders?

Got a samsung 204b at circuit city (in store). It had a few dead pixels in the lower right corner, took it back and they exchanged it right away. Nice monitor.

Do futures make any sense in that market? If chinese shares can't be shorted, how will the arbs play? What value do un-arb'd futures have?

Not so. The exchange designed some contracts to be deliverable but IB "doesn't allow" that. Why?

It's odd that IB doesn't permit delivery. Makes me wonder whether I have a contract or just an entry on IB's books :eek:

Notice the sentence that contains the link: Please see the CME Globex Price Banding by Product for the list of products which use the LMM allocation algorithm. It shows equity futures, options on equity futures, ... , and foreign exchange futures. I think that the fact that getting in...

Here is another link that indicates that the e-mini s&p 500 has LMMs: http://www.cme.com/files/PriceBanding.pdf Yes, everything is FIFO, but some participants can jump to the front of the queue -- their order will be filled before everyone elses. If you're at the front of the queue --...

The problem changed after cleaning and new heatsink goop? Doing the heatsink is tricky.
