Take 7 million and put it in a very diversified range of investments. The other 3 million I would take to the pits in Chicago and have the time of my life...good or bad...just for the experience of it! :eek: Chris

Thank you for the information...funny I have been told this same statement by an I.B. rep on Friday about my JTrader problems, "do not exist". Also, I want to thank everyone who sent me PM's with their previous "lost trades" issues with JTrader...this was extremely helpful! Good Fortunes...

One of the best postings I have read in a long time! Pabst has a great post also. If you do not learn early on in life to save a good portion of your income from a job or trading, you will always be chasing the dollar. Saving a good portion (15 to 25 percent) of trading income and investing...

Who actually conducts the electronic routing aspects of a Emini (CME) trade while using the JTrader platform...your broker or the clearing firm? From my PC to the GLOBEX system, who "touches" a JTrader order...your broker or the clearing firm. Thanks for any info...I am doing some research...

Did you have a bad experience with JTrader also? Who was your clearing firm (RCG)? Thanx! Chris BTW, you can PM me if you want with the details.

I would highly suggest a person go with XTrader as a platform for any futures trading. After using JTrader I have some issues with the platform. Now maybe having JTrader non-web based is the answer and I think AF will be offering this after the first of the year. If my continued trial...

I think Pabst is absolutely right, but I do think the commission rates will continue to drop more through the basic results of broker competition...we shall see.

Anyone else here have any lost trade problems with JTrader and RCG as the clearing firm (through AdvancedFutures)...I know of a few already? Thanx! Chris

I think the Fed will start raising interest rates in the second quarter of "04" for the US. I think in April or May we will be ripe for 1/4 pt increase at a minimum. We shall see... :)

Best concert I ever saw...The music was awesome (Billy f**king ROCKED that day!), the crowd was out of control, and DAMN all the hot chicks with their tops off that night!!! The first 5 years of Lollapalooza was amazing and here are some of the groups from those years that I will never...

I heard he was a Democrat that had lost an election. :eek:

Make sure when you fly to Vegas for the Trade Expo (20th - 23rd of November) that you fly one of Southwests new 737-700's with the new cool "winglets". Tell the reservation agent you want to fly on aircraft# N444WN to Vegas! :) TTYL! Chris

Missed you while the S&P made me a liar... (I called for a retracement to the 990 area prior to a new high above the 1054 area). Things are looking very interesting in here for the S&P and November is for the most part a good month...we shall see. Chris

Peter, Great idea, I had a good time and it was nice to meet you all! We should meet again sometime and try to get more traders and build this group up! Chris

that one Phil Collins song? "I can feel it coming in the air tonight..."

"Blue Monday" New Order "Nothing in Particular" Jim Morrissey (Smiths) Awesome songs!!!

Also, check out the FVE indicator (Finite Volume Element) with the volitility added. Chris

I fully agree.....Just Go! :)

"EVERY time I try"....Now there is the problem! TRY to push it...what is a try...the actions prior to any defeat!!! If you want to really push it, then you have to hang it out there all the time...NO TRY! Make your trades with some authority of action and make sure you are convinced you will...

Yes, I have seen this in the past and I have made reversal type trades off this type of a pattern during the day and not right in the midst of a news release time period. I also use T&S info for my trades, and If what I was observing in the T&S complimented the candlestick pattern then I would...
