I am a price and volume guy myself. Used to try and read all the ag news I could get my eyes on and stayed glued to the Weather Channel. Now just follow price and forget the news. But I have learned to respect the report days. Either be flat or have on a small position.

If you are going to trade corn you need to be aware of this website: http://www.usda.gov/wps/portal/!ut/p/_s.7_0_A/7_0_1OB?navid=AGENCY_REPORTS&navtype=RT&parentnav=NEWSROOM&edeployment_action=changenav Or you will have more "uglies" in your future. Best to be flat before a big report...

Since all these were predicatable (and you even predicted one of them yourself) what are your predictions for the future? What is next on the horizon that will be a market moving event?

There are a bunch of guys on here who trade with an Apple. Do a thread search. Back in Jan. I rebuilt my computer and did a fresh install of XP SP2. I noticed already it is starting to slow down. My next computer will be a Mac. Tired of all the MS crap.

Well stated, you make a good arguement. You have done a lot on this site in this regard. It would appear to me they have some internal discord or something. When issues are addressed here they seem to get quick attention. Perhaps moreso than if someone contacts them personally. Just my...

I still stand by what I said. They would do well if they could get customers like you to work in their customer service/tech support department. This is intended as a compliment to you. You have done a lot for them here and I think they owe you. I just read too many threads here about their...

I had one ignored in the YM last night. I think there is a setting someplace for trading outside rth.

Saw it this time. A big-ass bull with long horns. I'm outa here.

-1 at 318 Stuck my head in a hole and got hit. Had to stick my head in again to see what hit me.

Let that be my lesson for being such a silly boy.

Will hold thru the night hoping it falls off the cliff tomorrow. If not, well, that's what stops are for.

Rebuilt mine for $450. New motherboard ($50), new processor (3 gig dual core $150), new RAM, new HD. Plenty of speed for trading.
