I'd like to second that Huh? Huh? huh? :confused:

Thanks for the link, this looks like it might be a fun read. You now have my permission to go "hang out all day making a fortune at a ridiculously easy job." :D hehe!!!

I believe that the volatility of the ES is less than the volatility of NQ primarily for one simple reason. The ES spread is thinner than the NQ spread. Bidding over 1/4's takes more time and energy than bidding over 1/2's. Here we go !!! :D :D :D

Really, why would market players buy, soley out of patriotism. I remember after Sept. 11, some talk about "be patriotic and don't sell" Well that's all well and fine on idealistic terms, but it's not very wise on realistic terms. This is a business so why would I risk my capital or a fund...

The markets do make random moves *sometimes*

Well, Phanton Trader, First of all, the part of my post that you have edited has somewhat been taken out of context. This part to be exact: I will eventually be able to tell you that if I pull X lever then Y will happen and it *always will*. It is never random. doesn't really belong...

While I agree with much of what has been said in the original post. I don't *completely* agree with a couple of things. "You can be your own boss, hang out all day making a fortune at a ridiculously easy job." Having been my own boss for a number of years before I started trading, I knew...

Thanks for your post Dantheman. Let the trader who has never been guilty of this cast the first stone. You don't have to worry about it coming from my hand.:D

What do you do when you take a big hit in the markets? I don't take big hits anymore. I stopped hoping and started using stops. I use stops and honor them. Individual trade stops, daily loss stops and weekly loss stops (if need be).

EQUIPMENT Figure it out for yourself, my lad, You've all that the greatest of men have had, Two arms, two hands, two legs, two eyes And a brain to use if you would be wise. With this equipment they all began, So start for the top and say, "I can." Look them over, the wise and great...

Well it's like this. There are certain ways to get things that we want done. Looks like this thing has gone on long enough and far enough, that it's going to take a whole lot more diplomacy than it would have a week ago. I breezed through some of the chit chat stuff a day or so ago and I...

Bouds, I have heard that about several of the european indexes as well. Have you ever traded the nasdaq 100 eminies. They move with about as much grace as a bed of fire ants right after you poke it with a stick.:p plumlazy

You can't always get what you want - but if you try sometime - you just might find - you get what you need !

perhaps if you named a price ? then the response would get a bit more serious. most traders don't hit an ask that they can't see

It gets more serious when we lose money. But when we all rake in the dough like we did today we can get kind of slap-happy:D

a dollar two ninety eight +10 cents and I'll split P&H cost with ya.

100% of this crap wouldn't happen if the malicious people who write this crap, didn't write it and instead put their talents to a constuctive, rather than a destructive use.

Ahw Hell, it's doomed for certain then! :D

Since when did the "hardware" thread have to be related to trading. Get the dell with 9700 card and then swap cards with dad. :)

Trucked all over the 48 from 1990 - 2000 with the last 3 yrs primarily from Carolina to California. I mostly trucked through the night (made more miles in less time that way) and slept during the morning hrs. when the majority were hitting the streets. As for a fantasy: naw it's not much...
