Hello Traders, Can someone tell me if it is really possible for a large investment bank/house to control the prices of all the stocks comprising DJIA? The reason why I say that is because at precisely 14:17pm all 30 stocks from DJ 30 tumbled - and at the same time. I mean they were steadily...

Thanks for responding Well let's say the current price of the contract is $12500, I would place a stop at $12100. Correct?

Hello Traders, I have a very general question that I hope will provide plenty of feedback. I would like to hear your comments on how many stocks in an index needs to be advancing before you can reliably conclude that an index will move up? Also, what do you think is a better measure of...

Chicago, Unable to PM you....

NoDojii, Thanks for responding mate.

Guys, I'm getting more good advice here than when I called my brokers - IB.

This is brilliant gentlemen, I'm loving the feedback. Just trying to digest it all - and trust me I am reading and re-reading your comments.

Richard, Please explain

OK, I've read many threads on this Forum and I've seen newbies get ripped to shreds for asking basic questions. So before any of you that are kind enough to respond, please bear in mind that I'm very new to Futures. With that said, BIG APPL, I'm assuming that I've opened an account...

Hello Fellow Traders, Can someone please tell me in simple layman terms what my full risk exposure is when trading Futures? In particular mini-sized DOW and E-mini S&P 500. I fully understand that when traders buy a futures contract, they are not physically buying anything - its simply a...

Hello Fellow Traders, I've posted here before and received some helpful advice so I thought I would try again. I starting to dip my toe into in trading Futures, mini-sized Dow. I've researched in quite some depth the nature of the product and I understand the basics. For example, If I...
