if he was saying "daytrading is for suckers" at least he might have a point. estimates are that 85-90% of daytraders lose money however... that is roughly the same percentage of businesses that fail IN GENERAL so, he might as well say "opening your own business is for suckers"...

understanding how gaps work is an essential part of my strategy it is one of the reasons WHY i prefer to scalp YM over ES (i prefer to gap dynamics of the dow vs. ES). gaps are a natural part of the markets even if the dow didn't drop at ALL from here, it is up a mere 67 points from...

thank god for traders like bluestreek and i use the term "traders" loosely in his case a good floor trader once told me that when makets REALLY move, they don't move because they want to, or because traders want to. they move because they HAVE to. stop getting blown and margin calls...

the great thing about DCA'ing for the average investor is that it is a passive investment strategy that ENSURES you buy more shares at the lows, less at the highs, that you stay in the market, etc. that, along with compound interest, is a recipe for success i don't confuse for a second...

right on, dafugginman look, the average investor doesn't (and shouldn't) try to time the market i;'ll say it again - dollar cost average my frigging GRANDFATHER taught me that, and it's the best advice he ever gave me he was an NYPD cop and he DCA'd every month of every year of his...

lol the true refuge of a loser who has blown out his account is all your silly name calling the futures market is designed for hedging, speculating, offsetting, arb'ing, etc. it's all good apparently, you don't want free capital markets. you don't like supply and demand. you want...

who cares if they can push it to extremes? that is part of capitalism they are taking on a risk by speculating with a hyooge long position and buying up shares. the futures are designed to let ANYONE do that. also, btw. the index futures are an international market. there is a fair...

also, the average investor is not just told to "buy and hold" he's taught to DOLLAR COST AVERAGE and there is not a single 20 yr period in history where that wasn't a decent investment, and for most periods - an EXCELLENT Investment that beat most asset classes the average investor...

this is CAPITALISM you want "regulation" because you don't like what the markets are doing. TOUGH the govt. can;'t tell the markets what to do. it's the MARKETS, the aggregate sum of all the hope, fear, buying, selling, panic, euphoria, etc. resulting in what you see on your screen...

oh, and futures are DESIGNED for a # of purposes. maybe you should understand that BEFORE you trade them the initial reason they were invented (or first popularized in the US) was for producers and consumers to hedge prodcucts. speculators were allowed to participate as well. this was...

oh, btw. the SEC CAN'T investigate "this futures crap" because the SEC doesn't have jurisdiction it's the CFTC for pete's sake

">>huh? u cant trade asian minis in usa? whats that about? u can only trade pit contracts?? " the full sized are NOT necessarily pit contracts don't get full sized confused with pit contracts. they are not necessarily the same thing.

yes. that last was correct the Nikkei Mini is CFTC approved for US accounts the hang seng mini is not and of course, all the options are off the table for US traders however, you CAN buy options on EWJ (japan fund) which is a pretty close proxy for the nikkei

we have news practically every week regardless, you keep making these predictions sooner or later you will be right frankly, im a little concerned about the TRANS/DOW divergence

zut alors!

apparently, bluestreek's methodology is this call for a market collapse nearly every day at some point, he/she/it HAS to be right
