    When will the volatility return?

    As far as the attraction to the eminies - I think that it might have something to do with that effing PDT rule! Also, with the leverage of the minis a small trader can have the opportunity to make a fair amount of dosh on a small amount of capital.

    Is it really an Edge?

    My question to everyone out there, how do you know your method has a real edge? I know I have an edge when I have to pay taxes at the end of the year from my trading profits. (just one way to look at it - pretty important one though) This incorporates my method having an edge and me having an...

    When did Decimalization take place

    I had one of those. He could do 317mph in a 1/4 mile. The problem was that his parachutes failed to open and he plastered himself on a pine tree. I will miss him. He was one helluva fasterpussycat. The second problem is that no one saw it but me. Therefore my story has been doubted by some...
