quote. I keep a word doc full of memorable quotes that I come accross and ET haas been a bonanza for them. Took profits on 1/3 of my NQ position for +42 points. Took profit on another 1/3 for +39 Kicking myself for missing the Euro trade 2 days ago. Still holding IBM puts, 25...

weakness vs. Euro. Safe money is probably flooding in to European bonds.

you are white hot these days. Good for you mate and I see that you have increased your size substantially. Looks like you will be throwing around 100 lots sooner than you thought.

Errr... I think you mean "at all". ROFLMAO

I used to do that but am too old for all that activity and to be honest not all that good at it anymore. I like to trade off the weekly and daily time frame though recently have been going down to the 60 min time frame too, but not happily.

I was long gold from 368 and saw it go to its highs for the year and eventually got stopped out in the mid 370's which hurt. So I have been a little more eager than usual to take some profits (which is why I haven't been using options as much as I would like given the spread). I assume you...

we are very much of the same frame of mind. I have been long gold off and on (using the gold mini) and long the Euro (again the e-mini) for a while now. I am using the nq as my index short though RL looks like it might be a good candidate too. Have a small number of SMH puts too (bought the day...

relates to anyone's P&L (I don't how many macro traders are there really are on ET, a handful at best) I will limit my comments but the point about the corruption prevalent after the introduction of foreign capital is that the checks and balances that are present in a system that while corrupt...

I put on my largest position this year. Short NQ, long YG, long TY.

my first three accounts I paper traded (realistically) for a year. In that year I handily beat larry Williams record. The following year I went live and made 42%, not exactly the same result. While it took me 6 years to blow out that account, and while I feel that that year of following the...

and I even managed to get out of my worst trade of the year with a very small profit so I am not complaining. Still holding some puts which may or may not pay off but it is a small position. IBM puts paid off nicely.

experience arbitration when not much is at stake. If you are a FT trader or trade a large account arbitration will probably be in your future anyway when the stakes are higher so just use this as a way to get to know the ropes.

thread and even if my posted was deleted? If it was deleted though I would suggest that the moderator search their sense of humor for the on switch :D

what a load off my mind. Lets go skipping through the meadow together :D

POV recently when I espoused much the same thought to a beltway friend of mine who is politically savvy and involved. He said that we know where Bin Laden is more or less geographically but that to get him we risk a couple of hundred casualties and the outcome is not guaranteed. If you were...

in a society that does not have a major foreign source of capital the diverse interests within the society compete amongst each other for the limited domestic pot. It is in the interest of all participants that some level of domestic transparency be present and that widespread corruption at high...

thanks for posting it. I used to collect Eastern European/Russian political art (the type of stuff reproduced for public consumption on walls and in underground mags etc) and even had a few peices that were part of an exhibition at the smithsonian many years ago. Cool stuff. The posters are...

off this pull back. That's all that really matters. Congratulations to both of you for successfully reading the market and trading your plans.

wouldn't that be just what one would expect the economist to write. The research I have read suggests that when less developed countries are cut off from the global economy, not only does domestic industry and enterprise flourish but so does democracy and an acceleration of the emergence of a...

sounds like fun! Have a blast!
