chunking along here no problem... market keeps going up if you were wondering...

Got mine 12 years ago from London Busness School -- top 10 worldwide from what I remember. Resulted in an immediate doubling of salary and a faster career track. Of course, they "only" cost $20K in tuition at a private school back then. Back in the day consulting firms would offer 1 year's...

jeez... who'da thought they'd run it up again at the end of the quarter. :)

LONDON (Reuters) - "Wanted: psychopaths to make a killing in the markets". ADVERTISEMENT Such an advert will not be appearing in the world's newspapers any time soon, but it may have a ring of truth after research revealed the best wheeler-dealers could well be "functional psychopaths". A...

The most ridiculous thing I see today is that the Russell 2000 is up .75% while the rest of the equities markets are down. This is my slack time musing for the day. Be interesting to see how the indices line up at the close though...

I haven't looked at the journal in awhile and am just paging through it now. Just a quick comment, I can see that your return curve is volatile. Of course, on a $5M account there is not much overall volatility and I guess that's what makes it tick -- as long as the overall slope is...

EOH (hurricane) Rally :)

Nice move there...

My thoughts: 1) That depends on the type of trading system, it's metrics, and the trader's risk tolerance. There isn't a hard and fast answer to the question as it is phrased. The thing to remember is that you are using a great deal of leverage and leverage is a two way street. So, you need...

The max loss on futures is the value of the contract. Of course, the market would be the least of your problems if anything like that occurred. If a futures contract drops 10% you are out 10% of the actual contract value not the amount you put in to maintain the position. So, Es is at 1212...

Much of this is probably options related as people square up positions... Just my $.02 but I would be surprised if we saw sizable directional motion before Monday
