You can bet your bottom dollar that the top sponsors of this repeal are the NYSE, AMEX and NASDAQ. Where have equities traders been taking their business? To the futures markets. How do you hurt your competition? (the CME) You make their products less desireable. Bastards. P L J

From a tax standpoint, you don't get the 60/40 long-term/short-term capital gains treatment with SSFs the way you do with other futures.

GreenDog, I like your line of thinking. The most mind-boggling uptrends are often fueled by everyone thinking it MUST be a top. Like you, I am bearish as hell right now, but I am willing to play the long side if the market wants to have it that way. Agree with you - let the market become...

For a one-time fee of $79 is is a great deal. I have been a member since July of last year. One of the best features of the site is that they interview traders who they believe are strong, especially in the mental aspect of trading.

Mr. Bling, thanks for your encouragement. I still have space in my San Jose office if you're interested. Also, as I mentioned in my initial post, I can work with remote traders as well and include them into my trading group. PM me if you are interested. PEG LEG

I am looking to start a trading group in San Jose, CA. I have access to a modest office space that can accommodate myself and about 3 to 4 other traders. I am also working with a firm that can give us group rates on commissions (equities, options, futures, and currencies) by bundling our...

Man, you guys are cracking me up. BTW, I'm putting myself on ignore, too. :D PEG LEG JOE

Jester, Yeah, I'm a Slug alright!! I live on the West side. I love the outdoors seating area at the Java House...yeah plenty of college hotties to share some quality time with. Right now I trade futures in an IB account. Probably 800 to 1000 contracts a month. Looking to move to a firm...

I would add that what works this MONTH, may not work next month. That's how fast market conditions can change. I have personally seen systems that have generated over 50 consecutive winning trades without a single loss. However, every one of these systems was so highly optimized to the...

Chop off a finger every time you break your rules...eventually if you break your rules 10 times, you won't even be able to press the buy and sell buttons anymore. Seriously, one of the best things you can do after breaking one of your rules is to step back from the market and re-assess...

It's funny how many retail brokerage commercials show people casually trading from a laptop in bed. In on late-night infomercial, I can't remember which software they were selling, but they showed a couple laughing and trading in a big, comfy bed...I thought it was rather ridiculous. Anyway...

I couldn't agree more...you've got to know when NOT to be trading, especially in the current narrow-range, choppy, head-fakey market conditions we've been seeing lately. I spend over 90% of each trading day doing nothing, just watching. When something real happens you will know it. I know...

Oh, I forgot to mention that I scored 140 without even finishing the test (I had mine administered by a psychologist). It was boring the crap out of me and I just got up and left before the examination was over...true story...... PEG LEG JOE :D :D :D

Some people need to lighten up. Nobody forces anybody else to read or take a poll. my $0.02895444377888878343565892222211111111 They need to add more decimal places to the equities pricing structure. I'm sick and tired of only having a measly 4 decimal places.:D PEG LEG JOE

PM me if you're interested in a couple of used trading monkeys. They're both pretty sharp, but you have to keep Bobo happy...he likes frozen banana chunks...can you believe that? Kimbo is low-maintenance though. I would still be using them, but PEG LEG has developed a true cybernetic...

I'll be there. I'm looking forward to meeting any of you guys who go. :cool: PEG LEG

I am the manipulator who hacked into Globex. Globex is controlled by me alone using a $40 Pentium II 266 computer that I bought from some guy on EBAY. :D PEG LEG JOE

Clueless, I believe you have just begun to tap into "learning yourself." You have come to the realization, at least for yourself personally, that your profitable days tend to occur when you come into the market with what you refer to as a "fuzzy" plan, and then just go with the flow of the...
