relax Francis. Alot of guys just wanna see what he has to say about the investigation.

Unfortunate situation. I can only imagine the first relative to get a "loan" probably encouraged your other siblings to get their share. Its pretty much impossible to loan people money, it almost always turns into a gift cause if you try to collect you pretty much end the relationship on the spot.

Not looking to start trouble here, but since my original question wasnt answered, I thought I would ask it again. How does a "trader" know that he is going to make $350k for the year when we are barely into August, let alone whenever the magazine did the interview for this feature article...

Not to be a nuissance, but how does a guy know in August that he is going to make $350k for the year. Now, if its based on 2004's returns, then I stand corrected...

I think this has become an annual occurence now. Someone starts a seemingly innocent thread about "1 pt a day" and it turns into one of these pissing contests. The funniest part about it are the rookies are the ones lecturing the veterans about what is possible. I wonder if any of them have...

yeah, I am almost certain that it has merged with Advantage Futures. I had forgotten about that.

yeah, you're right. Their link is dead. My best guess would be that they merged with another firm.

There is something to it. There was a pattern on Friday's about a year ago where the market would consistently sell off into the close if the market was trading higher mid-day. Of course this only lasted for several months, but if you became aware of it in enough time, you could do something...

c'mon man. 7 years trading the sp/es and never heard of TRIN?

Anseld: Why don't you give us a detailed example of a recent trade of yours with the concommitant logic included. Riskarb frequently posts his trades and includes updates and adjustments. In the past, Maverick has also gone into great detail in discussing specific strategies, adjustments...

I guess ProfLogic was over in Asia for the summer of 2002

In 2003-04, I would say you were right about ER leading ES. That correlation has been pretty spotty for most of 2005.

bid/ask on ES or any of these liquid futures markets is a MAJOR deal. Especially if its even moderately high frequency. It will turn that beautiful hypothetical equity curve into a death spiral.

yes, it always helps to be a "synic".:D

What you say, in principle, has merit, but there are examples of other message board (trading related) that follow a rather strict code of conduct and they thrive. Since I don't want to list the specific site that I frequent (since the trolls will flock in), the place is dominated by guys who...

Kind of reminds me of early January.

Not to upset this flame fest going on here, but I did find a link that declared Priston Futures to be in liquidation: http://www.ukdata.com/creditreports/viewCompanyDetails.do?companyId=04017137&full=1

Hey Steve, where is Lefty? or should I say hey Lefty, where is Steve?

If you want to see an engineer turned trader, go take a seat in the ET chat and watch Nitro mentally masturbate over each tick and its many permutations.

IF CBOT goes down, then I am assuming the YM options go down. In that case, I believe the DIA options trade thru the CBOE and you could determine how to offset 1:1, perhaps with some ITM puts against your long 3 YM futures. Might as well just keep the DIA puts on your screen and figure out the...
