    Cramer bashers: got the balls to fade his pick of the wk DKS before tues earnings?

    Funny, how much y'all hear what you want to hear. Cramer ALWAYS says you should listen and then do your homework - not invest blindly. Of course the Cramer bashers are upset, they didnt have a clue what they were trading, entered on a whim and now dont know when to get out because no one tells...

    What time of day do you trade best?

    Mornings too. maybe the late morning, afternoon bring in noise trading and commercials and hedgers, which somewhat distort charts.

    Spot Gold vs Continuous charts

    kitco seems to deal with some sort of retail/goldbug customer. Look at their chatboard - its inundated with gold cheerleaders. Plus go look at their bid/offer spread for gold & silver - IMHO, too wide. Paying that spread plus a commission virtually guarantees you cant trade there unless you...

    Patrick Byrns goes crazy on CNBC

    Y'all are too emotional on this. IMHO, the important facts seem to be- 1. Total issued shares = +/- 17 million 2. Shares controlled by CEO/friends etc= +/-8 million shares 3. Shares sold short = +/-8 million If you are willing to assume the guy wouldnt get all ballistic on TV unless the...

    Calling all ET traders to gun Overstock ( OSTK )shorts tomorrow, 50%+ float is short

    The CEO would be better served by asking longs to take physical delivery of their certificates - MSTR did that a few years ago.

    NYC and Raleigh Traders Needed for Interviews

    This cant be serious - its informal, but we're going to film the inside of your house, the outside and the interview. Sounds more like a deposition to me.

    Nat Gas trading

    I bot some lots yesterday when offereed, and it popped immediately and the higher offers disappeared immediately. Looks like someone was trying to spoof the market, so when they bid it higher immediately, I sold it out. Spoofing the market is a silly game. Lets all keep an eye on this and...

    Refco Pro Is Utter Sh1te

    I've often wandered about what he did - does an owner of a trading platform that offers discretionary trading have a fiduciary responsibility to ensure you get best price execution? I would think the owner does, as otherwsie, if I owned a platfrom, I'd put some code in so when it was given...

    Are some of the bids & offers on QG totally bogus? I've tried to hit bids for 20 lots and never seem to get done. Then the bids underneath dry up. Or do I just need to do a sweep to hit everything to a certain level?

    What do you think the relationship is of real commercial/hedge trading versus speculative/running stops trading? eg, in FX I think only 3 or 4 percent is valid commercial activity.

    A day in the life of an Pro FX Trader

    You should too- "...RBC Asset Management Inc. is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Royal Bank of Canada. ...", which means their results are rolled into the parent. RBC's FX is done through the bank, therefore, no matter how wildly profitable any unit may be, you need to look at the...

    A day in the life of an Pro FX Trader

    Funny, nobody mentions if they make any money or not. Throwing around big numbers is meaningless. Then subtract the cost of paying 340 people plus support staff plus office space etc, and if they make money, their management would be pleased.

    YM Trading Competition

    ripley- Do you have a lawyers opinion and a tax opinion saying how this will be treated, tax-wise or legal wise? eg, is the deal enforceable or is it just a few gamblers creating their own bets? You've left too many variables open for this to be a serious idea.

    Ask an insurance agent to arrange a performance bond - but I dont think anyone will post an open-ended bond. You may need to set a cap on payout

    Bad Bad Thursdays !

    FWIW, a good book on this topic, although a bit arcane, is Beyond the Random Walk by Singal. There is a pattern as to what funds do and arbs do, so just watch and dont feel the need to be in the market 24/7. When I started just hitting my setups and letting the rest go, it was like a shot of...
