Don't bother with it........unless your last name is Cargill, Continental, Bunge, Louis Dreyfuss or Andre'.

The 10-cents was a relative comparison to 20-cents, not an absolute. I pay most attention to yesterday's high & low price, multiple daily extremes and weekly extremes. You'll have to determine your own objective criteria that you'll feel comfortable implementing.

A $100000 account, you're willing to risk 2%, i.e. $2000 on a trade, how many contracts should you trade? It should depend on the volatility of what you're looking at. With corn, you could have 1 contact and let it go 40-cents against you before giving up. That's too much leeway. A 2-lot can go...

If you trade frequently, using limit orders should save substantial slippage in the long run for you. If you have a longer-term time horizon, you should use market orders because the slippage will be insignificant. More important, if you use a limit order on a trade that doesn't get filled and...

For a simplified example, look at today's Dec-DEX. Midday, when the market busted above 3363 up to 3374, this created "MD". Look at a 30-minute bar chart. Later, the 3rd and 5th bars traded down into the "MD" and bounced back. That's an idealized scenario about looking for lower-risk entry...

(MD) MINUS DEVELOPMENT???----On an intraday basis, imagine a "double distribution" day profile. "MD" is the part in the middle, in between the two sub-profiles, the "cleavage" if you will, where there's only one TPO print........Visually, construct a profile for a market that trades from 10-18...

Focus on becoming a profitable trader and THEN moving towards a hedge fund environment,not investment banking. People won't care about your educational background at that point. Don't take this the wrong way but your 2 years of "Economics Studies" are useless. Good Luck & Cheerio!

Contact the NYSE, Dow Jones Company, Jake Bernstein or Robert Prechter. You should hit pay dirt with atleast one of them.

It's probably a variation of the "Market Profile" originally developed by Peter Steidlemayer,-------i.e. be on the lookout for initiating activity, responsive activity, minus development et al. You can probably save yourself a lot of money and hype by buying Pete's books and taking the time to...

Why that is???............Randomness? What correlation do you notice between your funds and the CRB(which is mostly influenced by crude oil) and the S&P-500? Be sure that your funds are managed by trend-followers and are not "glorified index funds".

It's even more alarming when you look at who the company officers are..........Guido Ponzi, Vito Ponzi, Salvatore Ponzi, Teresa Ponzi...........................

The "MemberNet" website at the CBOT has the entire price history for each of the seat categories.

METZ-----------(1)..........when a stock rises to some arbitrary level, they sell it based on fundamentals........correct me if I'm wrong but Buffet NEVER sells anything. He's "imprisoned" by the tax consequences of selling off any off his bigger long-term holdings. (2) Assigning a value to a...

......."Buy it at the end of October and stay sober.....until St. Patrick's Day......Sell it and then go away!"

In the long run, do you prefer to make money OR have a strong grasp of fundamentals? Regarding Buffett and Lynch, publically they espouse fundamentals but at a deeper level, they're able to hold onto winning positions that kept escalating in PRICE, regardless of what the fundamentals were at the...

If you're a retail trader, the best and only way to trade a bankruptcy play is be "short" the stock and then cover the position upon the public announcement of a bankruptcy filing. It's the old " short-sell the rumor and buy the fact" axiom. At that point, the "vulture investors" will emerge and...

Let me save you a lot of time and aggravation...........by backtesting fundamentals as a stock-picking tool, you can expect the fundamentals to be accurate about 50% of the time and wrong the other half of the time. Also, you'll make a dollar when you're right and lose a dollar when you're...

Is it trading? Yes, you still have to keep an eye on your positions, take profits, take losses and be on the lookout for more opportunity. If you're consider doing spreadbetting, you're probably too undercapitalized to trade comfortably.

Another potential explanation is that more supply is being diverted to Asia, i.e. China & India.

(1) There are some retail foreign exchange trading firms that offer free RT(real-time?) charting capability. (2) Regarding the DAX, it's possible that there might be an ETF(exchange traded fund) for that index. Look around and see.
