What daytrading margins ca you get when leasing a seat ?

Sorry for the mistake ! My chinese friend Fang was on visit and registered as a member and he posted by mistake under my member name. Something went wrong with registering, his E-mail account with Hotmail is set on "exclusive" so he didn't receive the E-mail sent by...

Hey , I am from China, Beijing, and would like to come in contact with chinese traders.... Greetings, Fang.

Guys, In the last hour of trading there was tremendous liquidity in E-mini S&P. The average volume was cumulative 2000 contracts 5 deep where normal the average is around 1000. Anybody has a sensible explanation for this ??

Mbt3, I have said that before ; the trend of the average contract size at the bid and offers is still up, when that levels out it's time...

Breakout, I would go to the 10 % that got their PGA card to learn ...

I would like to see the account statements of all those TV guru's to see if they in fact trade the advice they advocate. I had a relative of mine, a stockbroker, who was telling his clients that it was a golden buy opportunity and at the same time , he was 100 % cash...

As long as those 90 % who didn't get their card don't give the impression they REALLY know how one should get a card... I don't take offense for that, I just say what I think, you are free to do the same.

GeoffreyT, I am with you on that one. Yes, very few people on the street known in fact what they are talking about. Just like 90 % of traders lose money, I think we can say that 90 % of those people talking about the market and pretending they have...
