Fucking looters.

You contractually agree with your software provider that you will hold them harmless in the event that software issues cause you losses. Not so with food producers. Further, there are economically viable and scientifically proven production methods to reduce or eliminate the possibilities of...

Yes. Cost me 30% of the account. It took me a few hours to realise there was no point whining about it - cost of doing business. The broker won't eat the loss, nor will the vendor of (buggy) code. It makes sense that neither of them can afford to. Somewhere around 35% of daily volume in...

Yes, we know all about regulatory capture and the aristocracy of pull. Happens everywhere. Disturbing that it is being used as cover for yet more government meddling. Just what we need: another hydra-headed government agency. With a new name. How much does it cost us to "rebrand" a...

+20 on the open.

Expect gap up on ES.

So that's what you kids are calling it these days!

There is no "irrational market". These contracts could be held until settlement. If they are both in the money, you buy the SPY at 114 to settle your short put, and sell the SPY to your long put counterparty at 119 to close. Just because the quotes on those strikes were "off" and nobody was...

Not your business. Unacceptable. Anyone who can read the market can see that emg is trading in the correct places. Your comments are typical of a bitter envious underachiever. You may stay mediocre if you like, but where do you get the balls to question the integrity of someone who has the...

Yes...as I said to a friend yesterday...if this keeps happening I'm not sure we will be allowed to keep on trading... It isn't funny. Idiot public knee jerk reactions and incompetent corrupt politicians.

The Aristocracy of Pull.

+1 This is just another flavour of the public needing to "know" why the market went up or down on a given day. The volatility was to be expected at this point in the market - we have been weak and trickling down for several days now. The range was twice what could have been expected, however...

Well done Brian. This day will stay with you the longest throughout your career. It is a good resource to draw on through difficult times. It can be done, and you did it! You should be very pleased. Now back to work young grasshopper :)

Why except big banks? It is possible to live off a $30,000 account, making monthly withdrawals out of profit. It is only possible for an extremely efficient trader. If you are wondering whether it is possible, you are clearly not yet at the level you can do this, so should not even consider...

http://tinyurl.com/35youhg This source (and others) say he is 31. That puts him at 27 - 28 when these deals were done. What did you achieve by 31?

It looks like you've missed my point. In any event you clearly demonstrate the level you are at with the following delicious examples of pikerthink, flavoured with tasty cliches and a soupcon of contradiction: Perhaps as an exercise, aspiring traders could point out what is wrong with...

Please tell me which sentence, phase, or concept in the above quoted is either incorrect or dangerous, complete with reasoning - else I cannot possibly be expected to understand the point you are making. There are two things which will wipe out a trading account: 1) Incompetent operator with...

Why do you think you are entitled to be given calls? The other week I was "challenged" to give calls to prove to others I knew what I was talking about. Ironically I had already given several correct live calls in another thread on another market, because I can, however this was not enough...

Exactly, precisely. None of this has anything to do with textbook TA or other nonsenses. Why not work on understanding why these entities participate in the way you describe and how they must operate to take a profit? Learn also how the herd are misdirected, startled, and otherwise...

True. Even with those ranges you can mange 1-2 ES points every day if you are any good. Decent living on 20 contracts, no? Thankfully we have the Dax. We also have energies which are less likely to contract, and even if they do CL and NG each offer one scheduled opportunity per week. Euro...
