Rich white people's problems? What does joining the military have to do with being bored trading? Why would one want to be getting their emotional highs from trading? Being bored? WTF.

Closing out your Yen trades before their upcoming Holidays?

Overnight leverage for 'buy and hold' is the same overnight leverage as 'buy on close and sell on open'. All of the traders I know expect their trading strategy to beat buy and hold. I'm curious, are you saying as a trader you are not going to research buying at 1 or 2 std dev below the day's...

Hard to see the image but it looks like buy and hold from the 2008 crash (last ten years) outperformed the buy on close and sell on open without all of the commissions during the same period. Something Rickshaw Man might want to consider.

fan27, Since you are trading Index Futures, did you program or the ability to see if there was any above average intra-trade DD on holidays/half days or FOMC days? Curious to know if historically those days caused any spikes in risk exposure to your portfolio of systems.

Up or down, at least it should break tomorrow at 2:00PM - FOMC

AI, ML, Quant Wars, BS, whatever, we are definitely getting more and more 7 to 10 points slams in the ES these days. It may take a billion or so to safely instigate it but it doesn't take much to parasite off of it.

Today's range so far is only 15.5 points. Weekly avg 40+. Yesterday's high/low should be good trigger points for some range expansion. Maybe could be a small range inside day which will just coil it up even more, although doesn't seem likely.

I run two versions of SierraCharts into two different accounts when I do this. For me, its just easier to review the statements at the end of the day.

Most traders have more than one account these days and generally everyone, who actually trades, does different things in them. The interviewee trades mainly CL using 10 second bars and some ES with the help of automation. Doesn't seem like ET has many sub one minute scalpers. Below are images...

Technical definition - Uptrend = Higher highs and higher lows (bar segmentation choice is only subjective aspect) Ron Black's 'swingline indicator' might be what you are looking for, alternatively you could plot any ATR/Volatility stop and reverse indicator.

Monumental task, congratulations!

Hmm

Seems like there could be a long term strategy based on buying the index when there are many stocks being added to the index that are from sectors which are accepted to run at higher multiples than the stocks that are being replaced or the average multiples of the index itself. I wonder what is...

Sle, I am confused, the OP mentioned ES and NQ as his trading instruments. Are you saying that Netfilx replacing Perrigo or adding Goog as the 101st issue wouldn't facilitate an upward bias in the Nas 100 and thus NQ? I thought the Q-50 was there specifically for this purpose - a proving...

Definitely a long bias in the indexes over the long haul because they just keep replacing the dogs with rising stars. I guess it is all relative to the time frame one's systems are trading.
