I disagree. Extent of rally of past few days is too much to be a short squeeze. I really believe we are in a very strong bond market here. Question is whether it will get through 20 and a halfs (the 10-year that is). I think it'll get up there but maybe not today...next week You expect...

and to think that today was supposed to be a slow day. Bernanke refused to comment, this morning, on the economy. 20 and a halfs in the 10s will be hard to go through though. I'd sell at 20s for a short term profit

I think we're good to go to 108 20'05 in the 10s. This bond market is very strong. Has been for past few days.

Yes. it is. Too bad the disconnection issues spoil that once every three or so weeks

consipracy theory. that made me laugh. lol But i understand what you are saying. I'm a reasonable person. I've made quite a bit more than 1200 bucks at OEC and with my other accounts over the past 7 months or so. We'll see how it turns out from here on out. I don't mind losing money to...

With that said, so far OEC has been decent with low prices and a nice trade report generator. Disconnection issues come up for me about once per 3 weeks. Problem is they seem to come when I am heavily vested in the bonds. I lost a little over 1200 bucks yesterday because of this issue. And I...

Actually, I recall an equities broker I had an account with a few years ago. They used tracert as proof that the problem was with my ISP. I bought it and said okay. However, after the connection issues were resolved I tried the tracert again and it still hung. So even after the connection...

But i said not only do other applications worked flawlessly: other TRADING applciations like TT and CQG charting worked flawlessly while OEC trading platform experienced rampant disconnections. Don't fall for the Tracert scam. I've been around long enough in this business to have a sense of...

I'm no computer genius but consider these facts: TT with VELOCITY FUTURES WAS RUNNING WITH NO DISCONNECTION ISSUES TT with GHCO WAS RUNNING WITH NO DISCONNECTION ISSUES CQG CHARTS WERE WORKING WITH NO DISCONNECTION ISSUES MY WEBSERVER WAS RUNNING WITH NO DISCONNCETION ISSUES...

It is not possible for them to pin it on my ISP. I have various accounts with various firms. When OEC goes down I just open up my DOM from Velocity or GHCO. My CQG charts have always worked fine despite disconnections with OEC. If every other DOM works with every other broker I have an...

Broadband cable connection.

in the past I have but on this particular issue I have not

Well, they have low commissions and I've just been testing them out for the past few months. Believe it or not i've had numerous problems with TT as well in my other accounts; and I pay big money for TT (well, relatively speaking). I'm trying to weigh the cost/benefit of paying extra for TT...

Hard work and persistence bring you your heart's desires in the end. However, we must define hard work and persistence. Hard work is not merely spending 20 hours a day at your computer screen with your eyes glued. The hard work comes in analyzing economic conditions and learning from...

My story? and what story is that? Honestly I don't know what you are talking about......I've read the story on here about a guy who nearly blew his account out. I nearly blew my account out but that was many years ago back in the 90s.

I am one of the few people who believe that it is possible to make money consistently in the markets without using size as an edge. What you are saying is that when you are making money be more heavily vested than when you are losing money. This makes quite a bit of sense. However, I see this...

I appreciate you telling me what I "should know." Sometimes, it seems as if I am still having to relearn things I should know (for example, I still find myself sometimes getting caught up in flat markets....mondays tend to be flat and I've known this for years....why do I still trade on...

Would love to hear from people who have had horrendous (or even wonderful) experiences trading size in the US 10-year Note or US 30-year Bond Futures. what size did you trade? what was the size of your account? what lessons have you learned about size in futures trading? If you...

I trade the 30 year bond. Just curious about what people think about size in futures trading. Futures trading allows for more leverage than practically any other market out there (a possible exception is currencies which I know very little about). With a $10,000 account one could trade 24...

Anyone else have any problems with Open E-Cry?
