Has it ever occured to you that maybe the economy would have been a lot lot worse - perhaps Citibank or Merrill lynch going under without the liquidity boost from the fed? On another note, I think commodity is carving up an intermediate bottom around here but I'll wait until tomorrow's...

This is an Internet message board. You need to take it less seriously - seriously! Don't blow an artery over something that's virtual.

LOL. I second that advice.

Someone's looking for support or reason why his trade is underwater but that he should hold on to it. You don't need to convince us. It's your bank account.

Don't worry about it for now, Skippy. When you actually start making money, you'll be able to afford an $80 mouse without much hesitation.

On the fly meaning, you get to adjust it anytime you wish to without having to go to the control Panel. It's part of the software, you can configure certain key presses or button presses to +/- sensitivity. The Logitech G7 has two extra buttons for you to increase/decrease the sensitivity.

I trade from my laptop so I use my laptop's keyboard. But for mouse, I'm currently using Razers. I have both the Razer Krait and the Razer Copperhead. These are great mice, very smooth and very light and on the fly sensitivity change. I do have a Logitech G7 laser gaming mouse for backup...

What a rape job on the shorts this morning. NQ is the most impressive. 1291-1292 level on the ES needs to be penetrated first. If it does, then off we go.

When do you expect to start buying? When you see on print, in NY Times, on CNN, etc that the good times are rolling again? Um.. this is the market. By the time you see good news coming out left and right, you're probably six months to a year behind.

The down swing was doing just fine until permabears like S2007, BuyLo, and Mr. Dodge started yapping and jinxed the damn thing LOL. I would hate to be those guys right about now.

Before 130, I'd like to see CL stay convincingly about 126.5-126.75 before I'd buy into it.

Auric, thanks for the AFL script. I'll give that a shot later after the trading day. I appreciate the help! Have you tried this type of formula spread = Foreign( "ticker1", "C") - Foreign( "ticker2", "C"); Plot( spread, "spread", colorRed); - Tools -> Apply Indicator (replace...

I'm not doing exact calculations here but you're comparing the pump prices to the futures price of crude. Compaing the futures price using RB (gasoline), it topped around 3.62 if memory serves me right. Today, it closed at around 3.04, that's roughly around 16%. Again though, there is no...

If there's anything people learn is that take as much risk as you want, the government will bail you out as long as you're in wall street.

I read about it and it's quite sad and infruriating. I suppose they'll just print more money and make me pay for the stupidity and greed of these people through taxes and currency devaluation.

I know this much - S2007, Buylow, and Mr. Dodge do not trade for a living. Because if you guys trade for a living, my heart breaks for your family and your bank account. Don't quit your day jobs. EVER.

Mine is not entirely scientific but has worked well. I always scale in to my trades and I only sell Naked Calls during or right after a big move up towards resistance. With that said, I sell about 2% of account size and scale into it in 1% increments up to about 4-5% of account size. Then I...

Actually, it is funny seeing how a bunch of Bears probably went full on short at the news only to get raped. Trading is never that easy and obvious.

1) A couple of bottles of Red Bull 2) BBC Podcasts 3) Audiobooks I don't like to interact with people thru chats or IMs when I'm trading.

And I'm sure you had a great idea that's why you went long and took advantage of the 70 point ES bounce in 1 week or the 70 point ER2 bounce in 1 week, right? Or... you could just wait and hold until you're right. Who cares about making money as long as you'll EVENTUALLY be right.
