Hello folks: I searched and did not find comments relating to strategies for trading around reports. There are a lot of articles on the subject and I know of several strategies that are used by profitable traders as follows: In preparation for news following Fed Meetings, and Employment...

Hi LB: I enjoy your work. If you have a moment in your busy day, you might want to check out the thread "looking to hire a hedge fund recruiter...". I am often called "cynical" for objecting to these posts, however I am often right (they usually are scams of one kind or another). Good luck. Steve46

I am skeptical of your offer Neal, because it resembles many of the scams that folks new to ET tryout just about every week. Members who have been around awhile know to step clear and after all, who am I to take care of the rest. Nevertheless, I have an opinion. I believe your offer is suspect...

I think you have made a mistake. I don't know of anyone qualified to do the work who would consider working on commission. In general, associates of mine who fit your description are employed or working independently, making "6 or 7" figures already. Finally, one might ask why they need you or...

Hello: DAX is the German index (symbol FDAX). There is the spot or cash DAX and the futures contracts traded on a quarterly basis. The DAX and Stoxx50 are the two main contracts that trade on the EUREX. You can obtain more info by searching ET or using Google and typing in "DAX", Eurex, or...

Hi Funky: You won't get many replies on this subject. Most folks simply do not have the education to make a competent comment. Are you looking for a variable or fixed annuity? You say it is private, but is it held by an insurance company or a third party executor? Most of the time annuities are...

Hello Peter: I was just reading some of the recent posts in your thread. I am interested in your way of categorizing the various styles. I wonder why you don't just use them all. For example, if your early trader finds a great entry and jumps on then you take it as far as it goes. If you have...

Hello: When you get down to it, it is all about testing levels. If you look at any tradeable instrument, you will be able to see it trade up to and test various levels. What happens at these levels, and how you use what you know, determines whether you make a profit or not. For instance, I look...

I was just trying to think about a question asked by another poster and I realized that I was blank. Couldn't think straight. Anyway it occurs to me that I devote quite a lot of time to thinking about trading, preparing for trading, reviewing charts, reading articles about trading, etc. and this...

Hi Waggie: I will think about your comment. What strikes me about ACD is Mark's basic idea that once price moves away from the opening range, it is unlikely to return that day AND, if it does, that unexpected move could be profitable if the trader (you/me) can "get to the door first" as Mark...

Hi waggie: I don't think I am "kidding myself", and ACD is not pivots. I have talked to Mark about this. Pivots are specific price points on a chart. They are used differently than when trading with Fisher's system. ACD offers the trader an open area above and below what would normally be the...

Hello everyone: One of the reasons that pivots work is that retail traders believe that they are the "secret" method that local floor traders use (actually, floor traders mostly trade off the order flow, taking advantage of the signals that come by way of crowd noise, position in the pit, etc)...

Hello Folks: If you are trading equities, you can trade the last hour and a half profitably by finding a way to obtain the imbalance numbers. They represent the clean up of existing blocks and interest and are often the reason that the last hour sees moves on low volume. The is particularly...

Thanks for the info. Now my question is why can't data vendors like Mytrack, DTN, Quote, and others do what Mr. Medved just did, but on a timely basis. Instead you get either no comment or a brief "suggestion" that it must be someone else's fault. Thats the reason businesses fail (in my...

I just received a "message from trackdata" telling me that CME is having problems with data. Isn't it interesting that they wait until now to do this. I assume they knew this long ago, since each time I contacted MyTrack to inquire they blamed it on the CME. Nevertheless they wait for more than...

Yes, thanks, that is what I am talking about. The interruptions in service make it impossible to do business. I really don't care whose fault it is. Unless I can use the vendor's product in a profitable way, what good is it? Best to All, Steve46

I appreciate the info, however I am trying to make a living here. I require results rather than excuses (from a data service). Apparently Esignal has a stable feed ( for the moment). I have to go with the vendor that allows me to do the work. Thanks for your comment. I am always glad to hear...

Again today I have had problems with MyTrack. This time the data feed went out while I am in the middle of a trade. I have switched over to Esignal again and have no problem with that feed. The folks at MyTrack suggest that CME has problems tranmitting the data, however again Esignal seems to be...
