New chart posted for prospective pair trade for myself. See forum TRADING thread Charts of Note http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/editpost.php?s=&action=editpost&postid=3621503

This pair is noteworthy for its three years of chart examinations. I would highly recommend it for examination, too. For different style pairs traders, it can mean different things for their respective use of capital. My personal approach would be to make it a full first layer opening of...

Was I ambushed or was there enough advance info letting traders know in 2010 that there was going to be a new sheriff in town for 2011 ? I came back from overseas and discovered all these WASH SALES on my 1099 from Penson. I traded no differently than for many years earlier in my pairs...

Incredible question. Incredible because I have not seen the subject addressed before. But I admit, I have read maybe only 2/3 of this thread. Incredible question because I think about it all the time: removing one leg of the hedge. The reason why the subject haunts me is because I am a...

Adjust for commissions, yes, the result would be less and of a degree according to what one's rate is. I am at MB Trading and grandfathered in since it last adjusted the rate/s (different plans). I pay $ 1 per 100 shares for first 500 shares and 50 cents per 100 shares after 500 shares...

NP. From the point of accumulation to the end plots, considering the blue line (HST) is Long and the white Line HST is Short when looking at the terminus of the plots it looks like a net gain as the Long gained more than short lost (considering both legs had same dollar amount attributed to...

Well said, about waiting for something to happen....hehe. I look forward to the snippets.

So what he is preaching is what I self taught myself from the experience I had which he describes. Note he says "...even though a series of small losses could total the same as one large loss" [from a long term trade]" (1) Be advised, my quantity of losses booked as a loss is less than...

As promised in response to some PM's and slow down getting more, here is my response. It's simple. And we can dialogue on this thread unless it gets too tedious to do that on it. Updated chart (immediately above post) on nicely and quickly performing trade (re-trade, actually) Short HOT...

Ok folks. Updated chart on nicely and quickly performing trade (re-trade, actually) Short HOT Long HST all over again. It had mostly retraced (80%) from the closing out of the Aug trade's starting point of that trade three weeks earlier which of course is why I called to start...

Then there is the other side of the trade: the geopolitical. Israel's golden window to unilaterally attack Iran is during the campaign. It is no secret that the American president is not a lover of Israel in spite of his "whisper-in- their-ear" political speak to the jewish of his support for...

Well, it's right here under our noses. This thread was started by Johnny Sharp exactly four years ago with his use of PTF which he displayed (above) six days after starting this thread. You want to know about PTF ? You have many hundreds of posts to comb through on this thread to find ample...

Regarding: Short HOT Long HST 1. Correction to chart a few posts ago: the far right bottom has date labeled "Aug 4." FYI, it was supposed to be "Sept 4." Maybe I should join the thread "Have you ever traded while high." Truth be known, I am having horrible problems with my...

I slipped some edits in to my last post 15 minutes before your last post. I loved your thoughtful itemizations. Thank you for that. Some, however, I see as being in decline. But the list is excellent for just presenting while on the fly; I think more could be added with the leisure of...

We all understand "tipping points." It's a binary concept. Once the "point" has been reached, the outcome is one way and one way only. No return. Most of us would not intuitively think of your well described characterization of economics (in the U.S.) in your first few statements as...

The Creature from Jekyll Island Do yourself a favor and read the brief reviews at the link below. An exceptionally high rating for it at that site. Huh ? The FED ? Economics ? ...... who would have thunk to read about THAT ? 600 pages reads like half that much. Definitely a "I...
