thx BK, ill check it out.

No, the attached stop doesnt adjust with the limit entry order.

Why the hell would China want to be in a war? Though it may be inevitable, they've got at least 20 years to go before they can become an imperialist force out for global domination (aka USA :))

The SP actually dropped a few points prior to Tyler's slip -- don't paying subscribers receive the number 15 or 30 minutes before it is released to public?

So true . . .

Anyone know, for NYSE and Nasdaq?

People, the Herman Miller Aero chair is the one and only chair u will ever need. Take that commission you were going to pay your broker tomorrow or this week, and go out and buy one. Best investment for ur health out there . . .

Most people who take the time to trash cramer probably misread some of his daytrading posts a few years back, used him as a scapegoat for averaging down, and lost a couple hundred points on BRCD and the like. Otherwise, why else would you bother? Good guess?

Seems to me that perfecting entries and exits are pretty much the same game after a while -- one's ideal trade is to take out the maximum amount of any given move. The beginning trader usually starts out in the middle, chasing a bit after the momentum has already started, and getting out much...

Definitely alot easier to find a decent place to rent compared to few years ago, especially in manhattan -- there's a number of new high-rises in the midtown - chelsea area that are offering good concessions. Just hold out until Bloomberg declares the city insolvent and I'm sure you'll find...

Do people really need stochastics to tell them something is reversing from an "oversold" condition? If you trade a single vehicle, whether it be a stock or future, and are capable of sitting down and watching it day in, day out, noting where the levels of resistance and volume are, you will be...

Would add that one big advantage in a prop firm is forced money management, and for a developing trader that is a big help. An individual trading his own emini account has the liberty to blow out his account in a few trades if he so desires.

Pretty much yep and nope. If you're truly profitable in a small futures account on a regular basis (meaning you have a defined edge that you can apply day in, day out, as opposed to "boy, I've sure gotten lucky in guessing the last three monthly unemployment figures"), then just keep doing...

Exactly, especially when it comes to daily highs and lows. It's gotten to the point where I say to myself almost once every day "this trade is taking too long -- it can't be the top/bottom". You never know if a retracement will be quick or prolonged until after the fact, but the idea is to...

It's a catch-22, like trying to get into screen actor's guild. You only need capital if your trading so far is at a level which will most likely be unable to attract it. On the other hand if you know how to make money, you won't need other people's capital (a bit tongue-in-cheek, but...

So I guess shorts scrambling in pain and puking out their positions would fall under that category too? Is there a difference to you between manipulation and a strong trend or panic move?

Curious, why do you say manipulators are stronger hands? Wouldn't you think that manipulators would be quickest to dump their positions once any hint of resistance was met from "real" sellers/buyers? Assuming you could even identify "manipulative" buying or selling, aren't you looking to...

Not being defensive at all, just curious why you want to single out "manipulation" from any other kind of market movement.

How about the emini's? Curious if anyone here trades 100 lots regularly on an intraday basis.

Why does anyone buy or sell in this market? To subsequently sell it higher or buy it back lower from the "greater fool". The "manipulator's" intentions aren't any more sinister than anyone else's. If I know there are lots of stops above price X, and I buy at market just to trigger those...
