Are you guys talking about the ZW? 5000 multiplier and it moved 28 points today? $140,000 move up or am I missing something?

:( I gotta agree with you. These huge ranges are just way too much to handle by my standard strategies. I lost 7k this week which is by far one of my largest for the year. I'm back to break even this December so I'm pretty much way behind my target for the year. I love the volatility in August...

You nailed it. A couple years ago, when Bernanke was raising rates, he was a moron. Now he's dropping rates, he's still a moron. You just can't make everyone happy.

The bad thing about surf's trade is if it, say, goes back in the money and he covers it for a profit, it would just be reinforcing a negative behavior. :(

I'm curious Neke, and please don't answer if you don't think it's appropriate but if you had lost the 76k sometime this year, would it: a) Make any material impact on your overall financial stability/status at all? b) Would you have stopped for the year or grabbed another 76k and try to...

Well, you could be great at daytrading. But you could be a loser at other aspects of life, perhaps your girlfriend (if you even have one) is banging kid next door who works at McDonalds. Maybe you're overweight and have bad body odor and you have a few friends who truly think you're a jackass...

You're welcome. Go with Logmein if you have to since there's a free version and i've been using the free version for about 2 years now. never failed me.

No, for logmein or Gotomypc, you don't need a static IP address at all. You install a program on your "server" which will communicated with logmein or gotomypc's servers and they'll know what your ip address is at all times. You can also use a service called DynDNS if you prefer to use WDC...

WDC is windows remote desktop connection. If you have great connection at home, buy a powerful PC, and load logmein or gotomypc. Make sure your connection at home has very high Upload speed (I recommend 1.5 Mbps and up) as it will be serving the data up to you at work. Having worked as a...

Nice jam job into the close. YM almost 100 points in 10 minutes ES up about in last 10 minutes NQ about 15 points in last 10 minutes They should do this all day for a week so DOW could be at 25000 in no time.

So I finally managed to read the entire thread and to be honest, I didn't even know austinp runs a site or service. If he was being subtle he sure as hell was VERY subtle as i've been a fairly active member of this site and not once did I even think that austinp had any service. Austinp...

It helps tremendously :) thank you. I seem to have a problem with position sizing when volatility shoots up. I was doing so well first week and a half of November until everything turned to hell. This high volatility environment seems a lot harder to trade than the one that we saw in August...

Austin, If you don't mind me asking - in general: 1) Are your stops always a fixed distance away from your entry or is it variable based on chart and your own methods? 2) How many round-trip do you do per day? I'm just struggling to trade more than 1 lot per $25,000 of my account...

I've noticed that a lot of the mispricing is some corruption in the XML file. Anywho, they just fixed it as I was typing this. I know they're not gonna screw me out of a couple of thousands of dollars but I just hate seeing my account down when it isn't.

is it just my account or anyone else's account info F-ed up? I have unrealized losses of positions I have liquidated hours ago and my average price on ES is 1439.99, I bought it at 1420.75 an hour or so ago. Options are all mispriced as well.

The Abu Dhabi Investment group had to wait until I got out of my 500 shares of C at 29.80 to announce this. They're scared of going against my huge position.

the great US of A getting rescued by Arabs and the Chinese.

I should have known this would have happened, I capitulated on C right at 29.80. Brilliant.

This is so wrong :mad: Was up $1500+, went out and came back and saw everything in the red :(

Living outside of the USA for now, I feel I'm being robbed everyday! :mad:
