    trading e- minis vs trading equities

    Having traded the mini's since the beginning of 1999, there are a few observations I have made about the "action" in this contract...First, there is something to be said about the fact that the big contract is definitely playing second fiddle to the mini's...This alone has changed the action to...

    trading e- minis vs trading equities

    Back in September, 1998, I interviewed with one of the e-mini "locals"...He sat on the periphery of the pit and scalped all day long...He told me that prior to going electronic he had no chance in the pit...He was a short guy and was not a part of the political crowd at that time...But he was...

    Interesting battle at the Pivot today

    I wouldnt rule out just a bunch of well timed program buying...Afternoon re-allocations, that in normal liquidity would be absorbed by the other side of the trade, but due to a very skiddish market, no one wants to defend their territory...Instead, alot of one way vertical movement up and down...

    yeah, I have several of his books as well...While the content is good in some books, lacking in others, the format is really awkward...Those large fonts with the wide spacing, ugly bar charts...And yeah, they are the size of encyclopedias...

    Echoes by Pink Floyd Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air And deep beneath the rolling waves in labyrinths of coral caves The echo of a distant tide Comes willowing across the sand And everything is green and submarine And no one showed us to the land ANd no one knows...
