    POLL: Index futures traders, would you prefer a larger or smaller tick size?

    As I have said, I have no problem with the fact that you have no desire to learn anything. Creating polls in an effort to reinforce your world view is what you do. Keep up the excellent work. - Spydertrader

    POLL: Index futures traders, would you prefer a larger or smaller tick size?

    I don't scalp for tics. As such, I couldn't care in the slightest what the tic size is on any given instrument. You suggested your view might be myopic (with respect to which [smaller or larger] is "better"). I agreed. I then suggested a manner, by which, you might have the ability to educate...

    POLL: Index futures traders, would you prefer a larger or smaller tick size?

    Without a doubt. Perhaps, you can find someone who traded equities prior to decimalization willing to explain it to you (in terms with which you feel comfortable). You might try sending a PM to Don Bright. - Spydertrader

    My trading attire consists of T-Shirt, Shorts, Fleece and a Ball-Cap (and, of course, those tennis shoes posted previously [without socks]). I may wear sunglasses when heading outside for a smoke. - Spydertrader

    Indiana's Evan Bayh to retire from Senate

    In the mid 1980's (1985 / 1986 if memory serves) I worked on the Evan Bayh Campaign (when he ran for the Office of Indiana's Secretary of State). I also worked on his 1988 gubernatorial campaign. Anyone who met the man for the first time (back then) came away with the sense that he could one day...

    End of day increased volume - what does it mean?

    At the end of a 'trading day,' Intra-day Margin requirements end, and Overnight Margin requirements begin. As such, we see trades executed, not out of a trader's perception of market sentiment, but out of an arbitrary setting - margin levels. Learn to 'see' through this period and you'll...

    What value is an auto label program with 80+% accuracy?

    No. I already trade a system with a higher win rate and significantly lower draw down. :D Perceived Value = Zero. Actual Value = Infinite. You have already witnessed experts in their field explain how such a 'hypothetical' system cannot exist. The market would act and react the same way...

    Intraday Price and Volume on bull and bear moves

    I encourage you to look closer. Using a Neutral bias, 'Up' is the same as 'Down' in terms of how the Price / Volume Relationship operates. The whole deal tracks market sentiment. - Spydertrader

    Volume = useless

    The market cares not about your inaccurate 'belief' system. Without Volume, you have no trades - no market. As such, I'm guessing you erred slightly with your 'at best' determination. In a down trend your observation holds true, and an up trend, the market contradicts your analysis...

    Best indicators ?????????????

    I think building a damn would have been easier. :D While I have a few stops to make before I can target the currrency markets, I agree those markets do contain significant capacity. However, Volume does exist within those markets. Like Oxygen, just becuase one cannot see it, does not mean...
