Can someone post a link to one of the NEWBS READ THIS LINKS? Classic recommendations for books include titles like: Reminisces of Stock Operator. Market Wizards 1 & 2. Swing Trading. Trading in the Zone.

I subscribe to all of the above including the Bloomberg ECO page. Let me tell you, 5 seconds before shit goes down, IT IS MOVING. Would not be hard for the SEC of CFTC to hunt down Futures operations that are doing this and figuring out their data feeds. Pretty simple, but never been done...

Wow........Dead on. Always fighting fires. Let's hope the next Prezidont agrees.

Agreed. All the banks do this and tell us that all of the writeoffs are done. They can veil it in crap like, "oh, uh we marked it to market and this is the value." Same shit as LTCM. Go try and unload that shit somewhere and that mark is not really the mark. That LEH conference call on...

Innovative Trader Through most of those questions, I was torn with my responses because I think differently in my personal life as opposed to my trading life. I really haven't innovated much in my trading life and tend to be a chartist and trade for key levels. Oh well.

Don't forget they cut the 5 year to 1/4 tics. Now if you are a 5 year trader, your depth that you can see on each side is a full tic and a quarter. Thanks guys.

There are plenty of days where I won't even make a trade. If we are not near a level (I trade 90% 10 yr futures) or direction is choppy, stay out! I finally learned that this is actually a good part of the learning process. Take your time hunt a good hunt, pounce when you see your great...
