They may start to regret screwing foreign companies out of their profits once they can't find anyone willing to invest the money and technology to extract it. Anyway, before we even need sand oil, we'll be using something else. The stuff is amazingly resource intensive to extract, and is...

Interactive brokers should do you well.

It would require halting trade on the market itself, which would require something pretty extraordinary. You could take care of the gap problem by using the ES as a hedge on your SPY position as well.

I think it's all about being positive. In life and in your trading. It's too easy to become a defeatist and destroy yourself in trading. Plus, you buy into all the bullshit you hear on TV. I found a good video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=586cW7Xdewk

Obviously it's also important for the gap fill, since most gaps fill. I think it's very important for futures as well, because 82% of all gaps fill atleast half way. Most futures traders pay attention to the 4:15 pm close. Even if a gap doesn't fill, then it will usually fill within 5 days.

Seriously though, if I'm wrong, why wouldn't AMP and Mirus say so?

I don't use any add on studies. But if you check out their EFS library there are thousands of studies in there, and they're free. You might find some useful things in there. The only indicator I use is one I made myself using EFS.

Mirus and AMP are usually so quick to delve into conversations, I wonder why they're so slow to respond? You guys that are bashing me, I know you're just bored, but hang around on this thread, you may be really surprised at the answer, if we ever get one.

Systems do need testing in different market environments. For example, some stock screeners are bosting 140% returns, but then again, you can have randomly picked just about any stock last year and made more than that.

TOS is slower. You should also check out IB. You can use ninja through them too.

Or you need to find some trading partners. A group is the best way to not miss what you're looking for.

You can get $tick from nearly any provider, thinkorswim.com is free and they have it. As far as market breadth, advancers/ decliners, I use ticker symbol $issu with esignal. I look for over 1.5 as a sign that we're seeing more broad based buying and will wait for long oppurtunities...

Happens all the time. Different types of banks make them up: here's the $bank: http://dynamic.nasdaq.com/dynamic/bank_1.stm Whereas here's more than half of what makes up XLF: Name Weight Shares Held Jpmorgan Chase & Co 11.60% 18,639,068 Bank Of America Corporation...

But a quick point for newbie traders. If you're just trying to follow a stock's movement with some leverage, then you should use very deep in the money options. Get a delta over .90. That means if the stock goes up, your option goes up, and if a stock goes down, your option goes down a...

zacks.com has a good earnings preview each Sunday.

Would it make matters much better if half of the latter group were now gone?

The bandwidth that your ISP provides is what's most important for skype. Doesn't really matter if you have 1G or 3, but you need to have a wide bandwidth. Some cheap providers will squeeze the bandwidth dry but still provide high speed. It's okay for browsing website, but if you want to make...

Like it was said before, your broker doesn't care at all, they're just protecting themselves. They won't allow you to lose them money anyway, but they have to worry about you losing all your money, and then suing them. That's all they're concerned about. As soon as you lie to them, you can't...

What's residing between your ears is worthless. Smart or dumb, you can learn to trade. If you think you're smart enough to figure out the markets, then you're one of the dumbest people I've ever met. That's a very newbie thought. I would rather have a monkey who understood the trading...

I think the question is whether the January rally was a typical January effect, or whether we were rallying up in anticipation of good numbers. Anyway, even adding 100K wouldn't be good news. That's the minimum number required every month from here on out, just to maintain a 10% unemployment...
