I think I am addicted to trading and to following the daily market action. When it is weekend or I am away on vacation, I cant wait for it to end so I can go back to trading. I feel like when the markets are closed my time is not being used productively. Anybody experience the same feeling?

It is hard to tell whether it is the platform or the GPRS wireless technology, but it disconnects you once in a while, especially if you dont browse for more than 5 minutes. So I just refresh regularly every couple of minutes. Other than that it is enough for me to place limit orders and keep...

Nobody is gonna take your money if you dont give it. You want smaller spread go trade stocks, see how much you will make there.

Look at lindwaldock.com or you can use IB Mobile trader via your cell phone or PDA (I trade using Sony Ericsson t68i with T-Mobile).

If I could predict my trades ahead of time I would be super rich and retired. I dont understand why you are not yet. :D

Just another sentiment poll.

You must be kidding. Deflation is very easy to fight. Just issue money.

If it happens you will surely know. Hoping and thinking about it all day long will only cause you to loose your sleep.

He is just throwing out a guess and if it works he is the wiseman, if it does not, the Thread goes away and no one ever remembers what he said. Nothing happened today at 10:50. It was about 10:55 when market turned upside. He may have as well predicted 10:40, or 10:45 etc. I checked a few of his...

The trading times for Friday are the same as for any other weekday. 9:30 to 4 NYSE. If you trade futures varies by product. But according to you it does not matter "at any time there is a buyer and seller, you have to make decision who you want to be, if not sure, stay flat". What kind of...

You trading times dont specify direction, therefore they are useless. And I checked, they are not different from other times you dont specify.

I used to make 10-20 points a day before the war, but after that ES ranges tightened up significantly and it is much harder now. I probably made only 4 points last month total. My problem is that with pre-war average ranges of 20 pts/day I was pretty certain about my entry prices, now with like...

I have had difficulty making daytrading profits in ES ever since the first day of the Iraq war. Market was shot down and is barely moving intraday.

Sweet ranges??!! Before the war ranges were like 20 points/day and bouncing up and down to the ranges' ends several times. What has been going on now after the war is just jerking off.

Does anyone know if any of the limit orders placed prior to GLOBEX outage will be canceled before it reopens?

The supply of oil is not scarce at all. This is why we have OPEC. An organization that tries to limit the supply of oil to keep the price at a level that will provide the member states with decent margins. However, in the coming years the population growth in those countries, fueled by oil...

I would not mind Alan Greenspan's job. The guy does not do shit. Just makes vague statements and everyone follows him. He kind of reminds me the movie "Being There".

I used to collect 10-20 points a day on ES before the war, but now its more like 1-2 points. The chart just sits there on one level and daily range has contracted to 1/3 of what it used to be. With this range it's hard to determine the direction and when to get into a position. I will probably...

Why are you asking?

It will be interesting to know where do people think the market will go next week. I figure if the majority of this poll is right and right consistently, we may all end up making tons of money. I will be posting a new poll every week.
