Gold versus silver? Given the current and future currency valuations, wouldn't gold be a good bet?

Don't totally agree. Since ER, ES and YM are equity based instruments, their analysis are similar. Currency futures and forex trading requires a different market analysis that most people are not accustomed to. Interest rates, intl corporate M/A, foreign banking policies, etc are all...

Yes, you're correct. Apples to apples comparison should be using $100 as a base. Breakdown is 20 ticks for YM, 8 ticks for ES and 10 ticks for ER. ER has finer granularity than ES but not as much as the YM. Not at all. Just the fact that you can watch all 30 stocks at once gives you a...

I first started with ES but now only do the ER. It has better reward in addition to having finer granularity in terms of setting your stop, ie 10 ticks for a 1 pt move versus 4 ticks for 1 pt on the ES. Interestingly, John Carter, TradetheMarkets.com, has the same argument for the YM...

It probably really depends on time frame. Scalpers absolutely live and die by correct entry point. If you're swing trading months at a time, you can deal with a position going against you for a little bit.

Can you say panoramic? Man I would get the same setup but I can't justify the 30" LCD.

Yeah but can she hold a conversation.

Yeah but where is Erin? I used to be into Becky Quick. She's my No. 2.

damn lol, you guys are pretty cruel

Va Va Voom. Nice picture of Maria. BUT, I'll say it again. No one is hotter than ERIN BURNETT. NO ONE!

Erin Burnett can have all my secrets. :)

A reply that makes you go hmmmm. It's so thought provoking, it's useless. For daytrading, if you enter intraday at a poor point, you lose. Even if you get the directional trend correctly.

Entry. Once in the money, trail the stop.

If anyone has doubts about Barry Bonds, the book pretty much put those doubts to rest. Any athlete that suddenly becomes otherworldly when they were not before, should be suspect. One such athlete comes to mind, Lance Armstrong. He has never tested positive but there has been some accusations.

lol. I was just kidding. Currently reading Game of Shadows. It talked about this stuff. The latest generation of steriods can make above average athletes into elite athletes. The book especially pointed out the effects it had on sprinters eg Marion Jones, Tim Montgomery and lesser known...

I take modafini with a cocktail of EPO and norbolethone. Yeah baby, crushing the ball in my softball league. No one gonna kick sand in my face ever again.

Geez, that sucks. Makes the case for trading currency futures stronger.

Is it me or does IB seem erratic during off hours? I'm looking to trade some currency futures or forex but don't know if IB is reliable after hours.
