    The "I" word and effects on equity markets

    originally posted by rs7 Amen to that!!! Also ditto on an amen to optional777 post. The Bush adminstration is doing a good job, imo. Sure they will make mistakes. However, on 911 America was sucker punched. Not to mention other sucker punches over the last ten years. At...

    A Beginning Or An End?

    I vote [ No Clue ] However, I did tell a couple of friends last week that when NQ got to the 980 area that I suspected that a 100 pt Nas 100 squeeze would be likely to occur. :) (90 so far) On the same token, I could have just as easily been wrong. Just so happens that this time I wasn't.

    Say No To Thin E-mini Spread

    I don't remember the date that decimalization came into effect and to be honest I don't care enough about it to look for it. Was it around March 2001 ? Best I can come up with right off the top of my head. I wish I still had the daily range tables on the nas "stocks" that I was printing at...

    Einstein's puzzle: Can you sovle it?

    The trick for me was to adapt from my first line of thought and put the cats and the water in the same house. My first inclination was that cats should go on one side of the person who smokes blends and water should go on the other.

    Say No To Thin E-mini Spread

    Sure, The drop in prices have had plenty to do with the narrowing of the price ranges. Plenty to do with it. I have never denied this fact and agree with you on this. However, the ranges dropped sigificantly with the advent of using decimals. THE SAME WEEK !!! The same day for...

    Say No To Thin E-mini Spread

    Maybe my assertions are not borne out by the facts. My assertions came from watching an average daily range table on about 40 stocks that was posted daily on a webpage called http://www.parttimetrader.com/range.htm This used to be my homepage back when stocks were trading in fractions...

    Patterns that don't work anymore

    Once upon a time it was there was a widely held belief that if a witch were to be tossed into a pool of deep water, that proof could be determined as to whether or not the person in question, was truly a witch, by whether they sunk to the bottom of the pool (presumed innocent), or floated...

    56k connection and real-time data feed.

    Stockerup, If it's any slower at all - it's not more than 1/2 second. My phone connection was terrible here. I live about 3 or 4 miles from the phone switching station. I trade eminies (NQ) with ib's tws, my executions might be slowed by 1/2 second, might be a tiny bit more at...

    56k connection and real-time data feed.

    I sometimes wonder if it doesn't have a lot to do with the conditions of the local phone lines. I think mine were probably real bad. My data ran horribly on dial-up. Satelitte works much better for me. Yes sometimes, it goes out when it rains. But not always. I still have bellsouth for...

    Say No To Thin E-mini Spread

    Making the spread smaller, will tighten the daily range. This happened when stocks went from fractions to decimals. I liked daytrading stocks with the fractions a whole lot better than with decimals. The narrower the spread, the narrower the daily range. The narrower the profit...
