Come on Fred... you're a smart guy. The SEC's arms don't reach that far out to other exchanges.

The thread was started to poll members to see if it would generate interest. The thread is serving its purpose. Once there is enough interest, then it makes sense to spend the energy on it. I mis-read your post and thought you would pass it on to Barron; which is not the case. I know all about...

The economics of supply and demand say that she would have to hire you. :)

From engaging an attorney and explaining the details of the case to disclosure to discovery to rebuttal to filing in court, you are looking at at least 2 years and $15k or so (if the attorney is worth his salt). By the time you are done, you will have lost all hope in your case, your trading...

Well, if they said that they are going to sell the position out, wouldn't you want to get short in front of/before them. He almost has to say that they don't plan to sell. I wonder if she gets a promotion if they actually make money. :)

Negotiate a split. Swallow it. It is a jagged pill, but a cheap lesson when all things considered. Now you know what to be cautious about if you were selling 100 contracts in the future over the phone. An attorney, arbitration or litigation will cost you more than your loss. This is a losing...

Thanks TGregg and Thunderdog for your infinite wisdom.

I tried to find some info about the 1-2-3 system and I just get pointed to a bunch of snake-oil websites. Do you have the PDF or know where I might get it? Thanks.

Go to www.craigslist.com and see if your area is listed. There are many options there if your area is serviced by this website. Good luck.

I can certainly provide 20 or so acronyms to start and then have others add to the list as needed. Would you pass that on?

You might want to check that... here's the definition of an acronym: Main Entry: ac·ro·nym Pronunciation: 'a-kr&-"nim Function: noun Etymology: acr- + -onym : a word (as NATO, radar, or snafu) formed from the initial letter or letters of each of the successive parts or major parts of a...

It is a good page, but it is still missing a lot of the jargon acronyms that we often use. Besides, the idea is to have a convenient link and to be able to add to it over time. This is a good link though of most of the official acronyms. Thanks for providing it.

Warranty is of extreme importance, so you will have to be very sure before buying. I'm surprised there at 2001FP's still available. There is fundamentally no real difference between the two for trading. I would personally buy new for that small a price difference.

The reason I started this is I often see people asking what an acronym means and many replies that add no value to the thread. I am sure there will be those who won't notice the acronym shortcut to answer their own question, but it is worth a shot. Kind of interesting that someone would...

Had the moderator delete the other thread as soon as I submitted, because it was supposed to have a poll and it didn't. So here it goes again.... I suggest a link up top that takes members/visitors to a comprehensive, alphabetized list of acronyms (ex. FOK, GTC, GTD, SSF's, RTH, DOM, T&S, TA...

It just depends on the trading style really. I could have easily been caught the other way on such anomalous movement (which didn't turn out to be anomalous after all). I trade both ways all the time. I am well aware of the risk of fading when I do. I do this from minute to minute and decisions...

Samson, Thanks for the explanation. Your logic behind the trade was what I was looking for. I obviously didn't expect a full dissertation on every step, but just wanted the general thought process which you provided. I appreciate that. Thanks.

I appreciate your reply. I guess I should first figure out what I want to learn prior to asking. A bit of background: When I was learning to trade a while back, I spent a lot of time studying all those you listed and others. I never backtested or further investigated many of these to come up...

I'm obviously being facetious about the tick thing. A while back, I investigated the use of MAXO's, MACD, Stochs, etc. They always seemed to give very delay confirmations (on longer periods) or cause a lot of choppiness (on shorter periods). In your example, you can see that the x-over happened...
