    What oscillator(s) do you recommend for scalping in day trading?

    For true scalping, only price and volume work for me as "indicators". Of course I am constantly drawing trendlines, and mark key levels from previous days down as well. Just takes screen time and practice. No need to over complicate it. That said, I prefer to make just a handful of cherry...

    ha ha ha Obama's lead falls a staggering 2 points

    Still prefer a popular vote win, and your thinking is not why founding fathers did it. As it is now, and has been for quite some time, the campaigning is concentrated in just a few states, and many are ignored altogether. Hell, Cal, the largest state by far is largely ignored cause its going...

    A word about redistribution of wealth

    Bingo Mav! I was going to post the same thing, but then just figured it a waste of time as the pro "tax the rich" crew is going to believe what they want regardless of facts. My two problems with Obama's tax ideas aren't raising taxes in general, but the WAY in which he wants to do it...

    ha ha ha Obama's lead falls a staggering 2 points

    This was 5 pts vs Hillary in almost every state, so I think its safe to assume its 5 pts vs Mac, and not 8-10. I would imagine with each passing election cycle this number gets smaller and smaller. On election day, if the lead for BO is about 4% it will be interesting, but it needs to...

    ha ha ha Obama's lead falls a staggering 2 points

    Although I'd prefer a Mac president so that we have different parties in power (as opposed to one with over 60% of congress), I just don't see this happening. Mac just doesn't have the Reagan type appeal to catch up that fast. And on what planet does Mac have the popular vote lead ST? I'd...

    IB backfill is terrible!

    I ALWAYS use DTN for backfill. IB is slow as hell even when it works. All depends on third party software of course, but with ensign, you have the DTN backfill option also. Faster and much more data. yes, its free.

    A word about redistribution of wealth

    Would have to be at least 20% as the US Government historically takes in 19% regardless of tax rates. They go high, people avoid, etc. Weird how it works, but its true. At 15% deficits would grow even faster unless spending was seriously cut!!! There is the issue. Cut the fucking spending!!!

    Looks like Joe the Pumber was the game changer

    net revenue from cap gains taxes increases will DROP, and BO even acknowledges this. He doesn't care because it would be "fair". If that is not beyond stupid, I do not know what is. BTW, it is pretty much accepted as fact that revenues drop when cap gains are raised. Last two rate rate...

    How much does a specific market matter?

    i stated in my post which mkts I trade. but, again, bread and butter is ES/NQ. In addition any liquid fx future, ZB/ZN, and occasionally ZG, QM. Right now mainly ES/NQ + BP/JY.

    A word about redistribution of wealth

    The original story made a very good point. Obama wants to take money from people who work their asses off, and give it to people that don't work at all. Yes, his "tax credits" are even available to people that do not pay taxes. He wants to give them a check! If that isn't wealth...

    How much does a specific market matter?

    I trade many different markets essentially the same with classical price action, trend lines, volume, etc. each market has its own personality of course, but that's easy to pick up. Trading in general is tough cause all of the mental crap, but once ya get it profitable in one market, its easy...

    Why isn't gas cheaper than 1 year ago?

    Gas came off 33 cents last week. twice the national record. there is a 3 week lag time via the refineries, and it is possible that they don't produce flat out when prices are dropping. They break down all the time as it is. they are old. There is enough competition where the margins are...

    10/16 Horrifc last hour ?

    You left out that "he knows politics" he is 0-2 there as well (picked Hillary on the dem side, and still thinks Mac will win overall). obviously some kid who doesn't know anything. When the markets eventually rally, he will claim to be long everything. of course, if he were actually...

    Today a Line in the Sand for Markets?

    Achilles, I was expecting a retest of the lows anyway. The key will be to see if the lows of 837 hold on ES.

    The Next Meltdown: Credit-Card Blowup Ahead

    According to Marketwatch, this is a fact. I guess the value of the earth is 55 trillion? Probably just RE and company values. I have no idea how they arrived at this figure.
