    Squawk box, big contract useful or not??

    I guess this thread is dead, but just one last word. It's useful to some people who get something out of it, just as an indicator could be useful to someone else. If it helps you make money, then it's good, if it doesn't, then it's not good.

    Broker for E-Mini Futures

    Let me just say as well, that I could be mistaken here. I can admit when I'm wrong. I understand how futures work, but I also understand that your broker isn't always entitled to put your trade through the exchange. They have several clauses about this. I'm sure Mirus or AMP could shed...

    Thanks Mirus for responding. Can you reply to whether or not you can take the other side against a customer?

    Rumor--big Non-Farm # tomorrow

    Even if we've added 10K jobs in the report today, unemployment will stick tick back up to 10.1. The fudged unemployment number that. Plus, if the economy does really pick back up, geniunely, then all those who aren't counted in the unemployment rate will start to look again, and drive the rate...

    While we're at it, maybe mirus could tell us what this reparation case was about: Case ID: 09-R010 For more information, contact the Commodity Futures Trading Commission at (202) 418-5508. I'm not accusing here, I just want to know, doing some background research.

    I quit

    Good bye. Good luck with your next venture. If you quit after four months, you might want to try something easier. I hear Mcdonald's is still hiring. You should succeed at that after about 4 minutes.

    I would like to meet someone who has shorted both sides of a triple ETF and won

    Well, that's it. People always talk about it, but who has actually shorted both the bear and bull side of a triple ETF and won?

    I keep missing setups ! Argh !

    In general, don't blame your self, blame your system. Or, ask not what I can do for my system, but what can my system do for me.

    Is there a 3X ETF for the Dow or S&P500?

    If you want to leverage the dow, the best way would be with the YM futures contract.

    Squawk box, big contract useful or not??

    Very useful on Tuesday. Price action looked bearish, market internals were bearish, but all the big guys spent the whole morning buying. Very good sign to wait to go long instead of shorting.

    Broker for E-Mini Futures

    Mirus and AMP both promote on this board, so I don't know how partial of an opinion you'll get. All of these futures brokers have a few things in common. 1. There's no insurance there. If they skip town, you're screwed. 2. If strange transcations take place, you'll get equally...

    how do you keep emotions out of trading?

    Personally, I've always liked emotions, and I'm not sure why everyone is always trying to get rid of them. I think it's a deeper problem in our society. That's why we spend so much time as hospitals and popping pills all the time. Seems like 1 out of every 3 kids today is on some kind of...

    What's up with those 0.00001$ shares?

    You need to have a good understanding of fundamental analysis, and of the sector/ company, etc... if you're going to pick up pennies. I tend to scan through pennies for oppurtunities. Yes, you can find a solid company, with little or no debt, and good prospects, whose stock has been...

    Pattaya - The Ultimate Trading Location

    I've lived here for more than 10 years. I can tell you a lot about Thailand. Do you know that 6 months ago a boy from a wealthy family got angry because a bus scratched his Mercedes. He forced the bus over and killed three people by running over them. He had person under his wheel screaming...

    Pattaya - The Ultimate Trading Location

    Sorry, guys, just to set the record straight, Pattaya is a shit hole. The water is polluted and the beaches are ugly. Sometimes the locals will tell you the terds you see are whale shit, they're lying, it's called sewage and they may very well be your turds you flushed the other day...

    Squawk box, big contract useful or not??

    So if Goldman steps up and buys 300, that doesn't mean that Goldman believes the market will go up? Plus, don't you agree, that it's pretty rare to hear big buying across the board, and then experience a big sell off?

    ES: Why so many buy orders 1 tick below sunday's opening bar

    I never read too much into the DOM, it's a game of bluff. Some may just want to give reassurance to longs, because their long, but if price really traded down there, they could just cancel their order before being filled.
