I never understood why there are so many ES scalpers, or in other words aspiring young ES scalpers. I get how it is ultra liquid, but most are not big traders. 10 lot 20 lot, etc. Why would all of these aspiring traders choose ES and trade mostly noise, when there are so many other futures...

In addition to futures, can you trade options on stocks? CTA from my understanding is a managed futures fund, curious if the structure does not allow you to trade equity options (non futures). Thanks

I think the statistic is 95% of traders fail.

Early stages of commodity bull market...or at least I'm positioned that way

hahahhhahaha, just a joke guys sorry :) ABQ was a joke, I figure the people on this board would rip me a part.

Anyone heard of this guy, he developed the ABQ system, curious on your thoughts.

Unloaded all of my shares at 14.45 early this morning, that was my average cost mark, could not let my position be up 20%, then turn into a loss. Looking to buy a small position around 12.50.

It's pretty simple, historically... The republicans are the dumb ones, old fashioned ideas that don't work etc. And the Dems equal flaw is simply corruption. Let's face it, nobody is perfect. This time around, its different and that is why the vote went the way it did.

Soros is a great trader, I've read everything I can find on the man. I don't like how he tries to change the way people think to maximize his pockets. That's some doctor evil sheet....and many of the dems have similar philosophys...ie Hillary

Soros not only lost his bet...he lost significant money in his hillary propaganda. So...he was bearish on the economy and long hillary. Hillary was not a hedge...he was all in...for himself

I'm positive on the trade... 1 of 10,000,000 traders who are in the green on VRX, but looks like it wants to retest the low again so I might sell at a $0.00 loss at about 14.25.

Well I bought at about 14, then more at 13.20, then more at about 14.80. Then I was in the green for 20%, now about even. Usually when that happens, I unload and look for another speculation or repurchase below the last low. trading can be annoying.

I'm losing patience on this speculation

Feds are all over him, so he can't do what he used to do. That's a logical theory. How are you supposed to get info now that your compliance staff is 10x what it might have been? This is a guy who wrote the sec a 3 billion dollar check...if I remember correctly. They modelled billions...

When volatility rises you can do 4 things: Buy spys Sell spx puts Buy puts on vix Do nothing Kind of like Obama in regards to Osama bin laden when our intelligence found him in Pakistan: Bomb the building Send troops to kill him Do nothing Then claim major personal accomplishment and act like...

When it comes to paper trading, stay small.

Fooled by short term randomness

That is probably true. But stocks move typically well before news. The speculators are the first ones in, and if correct they are rewarded the most. I know where I'm getting out if this goes against me.

Still moving, hopefully we get some real "panic buying" soon.

I've always found longer term time frames MUCH easier to trade than shorter term. The mistake that I made was trying to trade intraday when I first started. But that is just me, I'm sure there are opposite experiences on here.
