Sabena: When you jump off your theoretical diving board into the pool of real time trading, you might want to leave behind all of this hypothetical jibberish you pass along as wisdom... The markets are awaiting your 500 lot mini trades and Larry Williams is anxiously awaiting the chosen one...

I have been looking at and using tiki for about 3 years and I have noticed over that time how its application has changed as far as using to time entries and exits for s&p futures... Basically, the concept is that a +/-22 reading on tiki indicates buy/sell programs are hitting the market...

Another thing that was not mentioned was the simple mechanics of expiration week. Let's not forget that during options expiration, there is a clear agenda to keep stocks from expiring through specific strikes. Coming into this week the "MaxPain" was 1100 SPX and lo and behold the market...

The Big Lebowski Raising Arizona Ordinary People Diner A Fish Called Wanda Being There Risky Business Before Sunrise Dead Poet's Society those are the ones I could think of off the top of my head...If I spent some time, I would probably remember the best ones

I have read with interest many of the recent stories about the hedge funds which have imploded. Another major fund which defrauded investors occurred under the management of a man named Reed Slatkin and he happened to defraud many people for the benefit of a select few...This Mobley fraud was...

Yes, I agree with you...the chop factor makes it more practical both financially and mentally to at least partial out most of the position when you have a winner...Overnight moves at this point are pure gambles...The indicies are starting to look more and more like pork belly futures

You mean I should be leery of eating pancakes at IHOP too?

This sounds like an opinion of an opinion...I don't think there is anything wrong with someone positioning for a move...Some traders think better in terms of seeing bigger moves as opposed to trying to game the next 10, 20, 50 cents or whatever the majority of scalpers focus on...In fact, the...

One firm that I know actively solicits electronic globex traders who want to go the clearing firm route is Gelber Group...you can find them thru the CME Clearing Members section...Most of their traders are using Trading Technologies software..

This question is all about leveraging or de-leveraging...The various brokers will offer daytraders something akin to 30-40x leverage on the actual contract value and traders who use this margin are obviously increasing their catastrophe risk...And I think that this is something that really needs...

Is this another lead in to one of your advertisements for trading?

I don;t understand this either...Even a firm like IB will offer 1500 daytrading margin and I know of almost no one who maxes out futures leverage, it is just risky...There are so many firms around that will go as low as even 1000 since it is a firm to firm policy as far as daytrading leverage...

At the very least the trading hours are more accomodating for all world markets...US markets trade early afternoon to night, Euro markets in the morning to early afternoon...

disagree...uncle point...depends on volatility and on alot of different considerations as you mentioned earlier... this question is loaded to begin with

Actually, I interpreted "uncle point" as the pain threshold...How far can you watch a position go against you before you puke it up...I think that stop size and uncle point kind of change over time
