I think 80% of people were short hoping the same thing. I'm long now after being stopped out. :D

This market has a fire under it? Time to pop the shorts I guess

This is an inside out day for breakout systems. You buy near the high and short near the low, getting whipsawed. These days are rare luckily, and I limit myself to two losses on these type of days, since two losses on breakouts of either side means you're in a trading range, the antithesis of...

This is an anomaly day with elephants charging both directions. We should sell off, but the funds want to post good numbers by the close, so it's a tough market to trade.

Sure love this indecision in the market today. When things are predictable it's hard to get an edge.

If someone is posting content, even though it's partially promotional, I don't see what's wrong with that. It's rare for someone above breakeven to post their thoughts on the trades taken. If he was straight promotion I would be as derisive as Fluid.

Sorry to see you're quitting the journal Allen. There's always the losing traders trying to pull everyone down to their level. Hope you reconsider. :(

Looks like the fund managers are going for the sparkling October close with the market. Can they keep it up till the close tomorrow?

I'm missing yesterday's data for the ES (10/28/2002). Is it me or Qcharts? Is there a good place to find free historical intraday charts for times like this?

Just open a universal account at IB and trade futures. They'll give you $100,000 to trade with for every 5K you have, and you can become rich or poor real fast! :D

Amazing what plastic surgery will do.

Impossible. But I read more posts so maybe. IB's stops on ES were not perfect up until a few months ago, resulting in 1-2 ticks average slippage, but now work great. And the stop limits are native. I still prefer the Stop markets (synthetic), because you don't miss fills and incur no...

I use IB synthetic market stops with my system, and never encounter slippage with 5 or less contracts. A few months ago their was a tick or so average, but they changed the algorithm I believe. So if your buying, the trade is elected when the Ask price equals your stop, and you get filled on...

We'll see if 878 provides good resistance today. 880.75 is the pivot, would this be close to the uvl?

Just don't start buying more for Grandma's IRA. I spose ya all goin to tell us "The Matrix" was fiction now too? :D

“…I had a conversation with a very worried Fed official back on Sept. 17, the day the stock markets reopened in the U.S. following the Trade Center attacks. He was bothered by the market's apparent lack of interest in the Fed's rate cut that morning. Our discussion moved on to the fact...

I find that hard to believe! Are you saying there might be the same old crooks running the show again? :D

This is a couple months old, but shows there is such a thing as the "PPT." Interesting excerpt from www.stockmarkettimer.com: ...The Fed PPT we referred to Friday is the "Plunge Protection Team". We wrote about the PPT a few weeks ago in this column. For those who missed it, the PPT...

Hey watch it, FPC said the same thing down in Nevada, and he's using a walker now.
