GD, CT, Thanks guys, Of course he'll learn what he needs to learn through the school system, college, etc - he's a top student and absorbs new material / understands new concepts quite easily (brag, brag... :) ) The ideas about the trading classics are great - I thought of Alex...

This summer I'm planning to start teaching my smart 14 year old son to trade. Has anyone gone through this experience? Any ideas as to books, tools, methods, etc I could focus on? I would appreciate any suggestions you may have. TIA :)

Luke Skywalker is having a quiet dinner in a small restaurant full of weird looking aliens, at a remote star system half-way across the galaxy. Tired of the formality at princess Lhea's palace, he's grabbing whatever's in front of him and shoveling it in as fast as he can. Suddenly, a...

It is very important, because consistency of financial gains ranks up there in terms of importance for most if not all of us. Maybe we can create a "thread within a thread" where outrageous claims are not acknowledged and more serious people can respond to other serious posts - thereby...

Why can't we have a serious discussion about this important topic without some people attacking some others? If someone wants to make what seems like an outrageous claim, let them have their say. I'm sure Baron won't mind, there's plenty of room on this board for some extra posts. We can all...

Does anyone know how to change contracts in futures-trader - go from the March ES to June? TIA

"He'd be better off shoveling snow" - - Richard Strauss on Arnold Schoenberg. When told that a soloist would need six fingers to perform his concerto, Arnold Schoenberg replied, "I can wait." "I would like to hear Elliot Carter's Fourth String Quartet, if only to...

Jayford, qdz2, What do you guys do when you fail to swear or curse? :)

Walter, In theory you don't have to change your method, only make sure you have a broker who's good in trading futures. That's what I believed when I started this and did not change my trading setups. Gradually, of course, issues pertaining to the specifics of the futures market came up...

Slapshot: Thanks for the kind words - and I agree with what you wrote, we think the same way. Now, a psychologist would be using different arguments why we break rules (e.g, potty training and the like...) but I was trained as a physicist :)

For me, breaking a rule that I have agreed to or established myself, is a sign that I don't trust it yet. It may be my fault and the solution may be better discipline, or it may be the rule's fault and it should be changed. Therefore, the only thing that I have found to work in these...

Gary, I have traded the QQQs and SPYs a lot but then switched to the ES and NQ - similar setups and movement, but smaller capital requirements and much better tax treatment. However, you have to be confident your technique is robust and consistent enough, because there's more risk in the...

Girlpower, Forgive me for asking, but whatever happened to that "girls... nice... cinammon and spice..." thing? :D

msfe, So, you think this is funny? :)

For me this was one of the best NYOTE shows. Yes, there were fewer people attending (I think) and fewer vendors exhibiting, and fewer silly little things being handed out (just three t-shirts and the OES cap for my son :) ) But, I found the quality of presentations and workshops to be...

Two elderly women were out driving in a large car--both could barely see over the dashboard. As they were cruising along, they came to an intersection. The stoplight was red, but they just went on through. The woman in the passenger seat thought to herself, "I must be losing it. I could have...

Girlpower, Excellent! :) :) :)

How about: "Meat Balls" or "Italian Scallion" ... and my favorite: "Baklava Man!!" ?? :) :) :)

It takes an Italian Man to make a Woman feel like a Woman... On a recent transatlantic flight, a plane passes through a severe storm. The turbulence is awful, and things go from bad to worse when one wing is struck by lightning. One woman in particular loses it. Screaming, she stands up in...
