Even with the drawdown, he is up huge over the past two months. Why would he be depressed?

I am very interested in the CME Direct platform. Mainly because it is free. LOL. For those only trading CME Group futures and options, this is probably the best front-end to use. The only downside is that there are just a limited number of FCMs at the moment that allows futures and options...

With your trading size, you won't need to consider liquidity in futures. TF is not like trading milk or lumber. It is a rather liquid contract, just less volume compares to giants like ES.

Most keep using IB because they have no better alternative with their small account sizes to find a firm that gives them futures access to multiple exchanges. IB is a horrible choice for futures and short options traders, due to the egregious exposure fees. But for equities and long...

Another guy who uses past lucky lotto wins in the marker to promote monthly subscriptions. Getting a lot of mileage from the dotcom bubble winnings.

There are plenty of traders that exercise ES FOPs. ES is physical delivery settled, so you have to buy/sell the ES futures at the particular strike if you are in the money. The problem occurs when the price is in between the two strikes of the vertical put spread, or is at the strike of one...

For those that trade index options, You probably know that SPX options can have a lot of slippage, but can be executed for large size. Let's say a fund wants to enter a put spread in the SPX front month options for large size, would it get a better fill using ES futures options or SPX options...

You cannot learn anything about trading looking at Message boards. These forums are for entertainment, not enlightenment. You may occasionally find a useful post but it is like a needle in a haystack. Signal to noise raise is microscopic here. You have to trade and observe to learn, real...

If you put the data into Excel, you can probably manipulate the data columns to make it Ninja compatible.

Looks like typical revenge trading behavior. You had a good start to the month, gave it back on a chunky loss, and then started taking too many trades to try to come back from your loss. Leading to more losses on coin flip trades, and then full tilt trading later in the month. I've been...

No, neke's posts are not informative, they are entertaining. Two very different things, and unfortunately, much less entertaining than in the past when he had weekly updates. Its almost like looking at last month's box scores, much less entertaining and interesting than looking at yesterday's...

Wow, this journal went downhill fast. With the weekly updates, there was a buzz and excitement about the ups and downs, now with the monthly updates, lot of people lost patience and interest.

Yes, markets change along with the business cycles and investor sentiment, but they also repeat. There are many repetitive patterns in trading, both intraday and over longer term periods. For example, what we are seeing now reminds me a bit of 2007, a bit of 2011. After a huge bull run, when...

Trading can both be short and long term. I've always made a lot more money from my longer term trading positions than short term trades. I make short term trades because I want to try to make money more often, but I don't think it really adds much to my bottom line at the end of the year...

There goes my 2015 playbook. The bond bus has left the station. I had it all mapped out in my head. We were going to get one last final blowoff top in US stocks and it would be the most exquisite opportunity to get long bonds and short stocks since 2007. Well, that didn't quite pan out...

Long Treasury futures and short S&P futures. Bonds will be the place to be.

Optionsxpress is definitely not going to lower your trading costs. Their commissions are $1.25/contract for active traders, which is .55/contract more than IB. You are basically giving away a penny per share on entry and exit, which is huge. There is no way optionsxpress is providing that...

I am betting that neke will be crushing it in the future if we have this kind of volatility, in addition to crushing it last month. Funny how it is deadly silent on the big up months. Where are the haters and armchair quarterbacks now? History proves the winners. As I said before, this guy...
