Nice setup, I like the blackboard (on the right) touch. Best trading, Jorge

What effect will the latest (so far) massive bailout have on commodities? Best trading, Jorge

Hi Neke, Man, take it easy on yourself, half of us are in your situation and the other half don't know what hit them (except of course all those who always get it right :eek: ) No one could KNOW what was coming, even though I'm sure everybody had a theory. For instance, I'm yet to...

Holy cow! I'm glad it turned out well for you, Neke. Be careful, best trading, Jorge

Hi Vikana, Thank you for the input. Best trading, Jorge

Sorry, but I couldn't resist. http://www.theonion.com/content/node/85271

Everybody has a stop-loss. For the conservative it's a hard stop, for the daring it's a soft one, for those bound to go broke it's either a pain threshold or a margin call. If your stops get constantly hit right before the market reverses (which without proper backtesting maybe just a...

Great thread, Cipher. Vikana, What do you use to measure your hear rate as you trade? Is there anything that you can plug in the computer and have a graphic of your heart rate (for comparison purposes, with say your P/L). Joe, Yes, I asked Dr. Steenbarger about that, but he got the...

2001: Bush takes office. Oil @ 30 2008: Bush about to leave office: after touching 146 people see oil in the 110's as "cheap" and "oversold". Well, these "advisers" are doing a heck of a job, aren't they? Best trading, Jorge

Hi Spanish, The market can remain "completely and totally irrational" longer than you can remain solvent. I'm glad, though, that you're not trading the big contract, but a fraction of it through a bucketshop. I normally end my posts with "best trading", but in this case, I think that...

Some great posts, thanks everybody for sharing. :) Hi Socal, Do you surf the net, watch youtube, chat on Skype, etc. while you're landing planes? What would happen if you did? What would happen if you treated your trading like you treat your job? What can you transfer from your...

If you want a true real-time newsfeed, you'll need to pay (as far as I know, if not, please somebody enlighten me), try CME e-quotes or anyone giving you discounted mini-Dowjones newswire. Other than that, I would go directly to the source...

IB meaning Interactive Brokers? CL>Futures>October Best trading, Jorge

Good call. FWIW, my observation is that (aside from the first minutes) the number that counts is the aggregate of oil, gas and distillates. Oil increased by 9.4 million, gas dropped by 6.2 and distillates increased by half a million, that is about a 3 million increase from the Bloomberg...

Hi Neke, Sorry about your loss. May I suggest that you take a break for a couple of weeks, clear your head and then come back and trade like the winner you are? All the best, Jorge

Hi there, It seems that China's Olympics may have contributed to both the spike last month and the decline in August. In my view, September will be a whole new ball game. See: http://www.dailyspeculations.com/wordpress/?p=3082...

FX, Excellent insights on some not usually touched upon aspects (learning/unlearning/relearning, wanting to work too hard and too fast, how much tiredness and isolation may affect your trading...). Thanks for sharing and best trading, Jorge
