----------------------------- Ex: BRL. Go back to last Friday. First breakdown took the stock down 2.46 points to 66.54. I checked the implied vols at 3.45p.m. The June 65 call was trading at 3 bid, 3.40 offered, vol around 40% implying that BRL had roughly 68% (1 standard deviation) chance of...

------------------------------- Options just dont get much attention around here. Especially pricing models. Did you see this thread. http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=5884&perpage=6&pagenumber=1 Its about randomness, position size, the influence of luck...

Could Taleb just be lucky the black swan event covers all the losses.

I have a problem with the jtrader price feed connection. A trace route just times out after line 15. My broker tells me my isp should reroute the connection, but qwest refuses. Is that unreasonable to expect of an isp? I use jtrader through rcg express.

Bought a red suZUKi samurai, new in 1986. And I still own it. Towards the end of 1999 I was going to spend about 5k rebuilding the truck, just for fun. But i read a book on options and in Feb 2000 opened an online trading account instead (just for fun). Had no idea i'd get so...

Are you talking about intraday trading? Is your friend as good of a swing trader as you are? Your ability to line up several factors to get the best odds in an entry has been very impressive. Not having those advantages makes trading a futures index more stressfull to me. I'm...

Yes, knowing when to wait for a clearer read and when to act without hesitation is what i need to fine tune, but I need to have real money at risk for real emotions. Its more about fear and greed. Which i have found magnified by the leverage of minis. I really had no feel for the market...

covered 71.

finally hit trade button. long 70. 50. 68.50 stop. Will take 5 pts, atleast pull stop in.

ok, if i am fighting the trend 1370 would be good place to sell, fade. Or if a reversal occurs 1370 would be a good bo level for very short time frame. I'm leaning towards the sell (fade style) right now.

Overall I'm going to take the stance that the closer the nasdaq get to double bottom (1700) the better the chance of a reversal. With no compelling reason for buyers or sellers to enter, and the dow positive today, will look for nq to reverse sometime today and close strong. Have a tough...

A lot of this thread concerns trading disparities in option prices. If box comes out with true time/price priority will there be market makers willing to shrink spreads down enough (.05?), to increase liquidity? Is that what this thread comes down to? Without the liquidity spreads wont...

How is the condition of the trend determined? I pretty much just look at a couple of sectors sox, rlx, bix, inx. And look at a short time frame 3 or 6 month daily chart, to determine if its at sup/res, breaking sup/res, or in the middle. I just dont make the time to try to study larger...

I see, i thought that :D meant you were some kind of lunatic:) Are you a regular in the T.A. chat room?

Did you lose money on his calls, or what is it you dont like about them? The chat room is free, it looks like he trades for a living. Why the hostility? When I tried the chat room I thougt the calls were pretty good. I'm trying to learn the skills to trade intraday, and found the chat room very...
