They have very little idea of what they are talking about. I cancelled my cable and get all my tv through the internet now. www.hulu.com www.netflix.com www.myp2p.eu (for sports and other live TV) Luckily, the USA CNBC channel is no where to be found. My trading never gets affected by...

"Finally, the validity of a statistical study based on 30 (thirty!) accounts is about as compelling as the conclusions of the psychic next door." That's not correct. If the accounts were taken randomly and followed other proper statistical methods then you should get a pretty valid...

how many people are attacking the messenger? Folks, if someone or some people wish to claim that daytrading is a fool's errand, what do you care? Why get so defensive? What matters is your own performance. If you make money then you make money. The point of the article was that daytrading...

Here is a method which would work if traded correctly. This is from street smarts by Linda B and Larry C. I day trade the NQ profitably (it has a smaller spread than the ES so you pay less in each transaction), and i use a methodology which is different than the one outlined below, but based...

The distribution days in the market have grown in number over the last few weeks. This is a sign of subtle unloading by the big boys. Although I do get a sense that there are a lot of people who believe a pullback is coming, there are also a lot of people such as yourself who now believe...

I'm interested in this information as well. I've read two pages into this thread and all i see is worthless posts telling you that you are an idiot, don't know anything, etc. Folks, that's not what this thread is about. He asked a question regarding regulations. Please do not force me and...

If you're claiming that commissions make futures a negative sum game --then i have a few responses: 1) Equities trading has the exact same problem then. If you include commissions then equities trading is also a negative sum game. The only positive force coming into equities is dividends...

I'm not really sure what the PL thread is, but your post is meaningless. It lacks the most basic logic you can think of --- futures trading is a zero sum game. This obviously means that if some traders are losing then other traders are making money. The more people lose trading futures, the...

I think you're asking why you can back test a strategy and it works great but then when you actually trade said strategy it breaks down, correct? Well i'm a discretionary trader so this is out of my area of expertise, but from what i've read it has to do with what exckhart calls degrees of...

I'd like to point out that I do believe that 90% of traders lose money. What I find funny is that 99% of traders on message boards claim that they have struck it rich in the markets, lol. I highly doubt that this individual turned his $50k into a quadrillion dollars in 4 trades. In fact...

It's like a pitcher coming out of highschool or college --first he goes to the minor league farms and then on to the majors...i hope I have my analogy right since i hate baseball. Stocks are the minor leagues and futures are the majors. Futures is a zero-sum game and the other players are...

If you buy a stock at the right time, it should NEVER fall below your buy price. Take a look at HL as a recent example --I actually purchased this stock. Just to clarify, I believe that we have started a major bear market ---so I am ONLY buying gold/silver stocks as I believe they are...

Yes, I've been vexed on the bond market --my conclusion is that there is artificial demand. The demand is coming from central banks --both the FED which "floods" the market by buying government treasuries and foreign central banks, especially China/japan which print their domestic currencies...

We are already in recession. These CPI numbers are an absolute and utter joke. If the true CPI rate was taken into consideration, it would be shown that we have been in and out of recession many times since the early 1990's (when they changed the calculations). The government calls it hedonic...

"mean reverting in nature" Ummmm, I don't want to overstep my bounds since I do not trade mechanically nor do I trade in any martingale type strategy...but mean reverting seems to be one of those, oh, let's say kamakaze type strategies. I would hope that you have a strategy to get rid of...

Yes, he may not have a chance to win. The establishment would never allow such a thing. The funny thing is that most people have it backwards ---most people believe that big government rewards the poor/stupid/lazy. The truth of the matter is semi-opposite ---in that the poor/stupid/lazy do...

ahhhhhhhhhhhh haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa haaaaaaaaaaa...i'm sorry, but that was too funny. When you wrote this line: "Keynesian economics is the best system" I had to start laughing, stop reading your post, and as I clear the tears away from my eyes, write: HAAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAAAAA. I don't know...

It is astonishing to me WHY these anti-ron paul guys cannot understand the most simple of ideas. The FED devalues are currency --that is the only "tool" it has at its disposal. It is there in order to allow the government to spend wildly without borrowing ---when the government falls...

Yeah, that last little blurt over 1490 at the same exact same time forced me out of my short position as well --luckily i reshorted the NQ at the same time once I saw the two minute bar doji instead of break through the 1490 level. I would have been pretty upset going home with a small loss.
