this is prob the only thread that i'm glad has changed from the original topic to something else. re mr turkey.-just put it in the microwave and be done with it lol. you might be thinking "but it won't fit". no, you're not trying hard enough. if your wife comes into the kitchen and sees...

+1. you don't need to trade every mtk type (trend, range, etc). just ask yourself before every trade "is this one of my setups?" and if not sit on your hands.

i'm curious were you trading CHF on 6 sept when Hildebrand caused that 20 stdev event? what was it like to be in a trade then as opposed to everyone us that were merely watching it? if you don't want to answer that's fine just curious.

+1. seriously that is the solution to this mf nonsense. i rec ib so much that when my gf broke up w/ me (ok she's imaginary b/c this is the internet) she said "you can't give me what i need" and i said "switch to ib".

assuming this is a stop loss (not a buy stop to enter for ex) just do mkt order so you're out of a losing trade for sure even though you might not get the price you want.

i'm assuming trading thru an iphone/android/blackberry is out...?

+1. if the message hasn't sunk in yet write this down 100 times.

it's not an option it's a future but the contract does expire. cny is an etn meaning it is an obligation from a counterparty in this case ms saying they'll pay you the performance of the rmb. i'd stay away from trading the rmb period not only b/c of the lack of liquidity but b/c it's so...

to add to everyone, no my goal is not to run a hf. just to say what hopefully everyone knows by now, the headaches aren't worth it. trade for yourself and fly under the radar. john arnold down in houston gave all his outside investors their money back a few years ago and just trades his and...

mods is there a way to delete winston's post referencing his username/password? i don't know to see another trader lose money the wrong way (otoher than market losses) b/c his account was hacked. remember the ceo of lifelock that put his ssn everywhere to prove how "great" his service was...

+1. rmbs is has extreme biotech like vol. anyone selling puts ahead of the court ruling deserves to lose EVERY penny. at least very least spread it so you're risk is capped.

if you take a look at the volume for the past month, a vast majority of it is on the put side so at least you have the liquidity there. sometimes traders have the greatest trade idea but the instrument they're using is so illiquid that the b-a spread eliminates almost all the profit.

welcome to et. i suggest using a money management similar to the turtles like add a car (contract) every .5 atr but risk the same amount on every add. here's a link to the turtle rules. you (in general) don't know if a trend will retrace or explode and not look back that's why it's...

i disagree that you should 1) not trade during certain times of the day b/c you (in general) think the market might not trend then b/c no one knows when the market will trend period the end. you have to be ready to ride the trend whenever it happens. also i disagree that you should add a...

is this trade too obvious...sell a spread like SELL DEC 25 C/BUY DEC 27 C

those who can't do, teach. f*ck your professor. if he could trade he wouldn't be lecturing a bunch of teenagers wearing pajamas about how it's so hard to trade.

for the op a couple thoughts... first, don't know if you've thought about this but some states consider you MARRIED if you and another person have lived in the same residence after a certain number of years. i believe NJ is one of these states. be careful and confirm this. if you spend...

hedge w/ options (if long spend a certain % of position on otm puts, reverse if short)

+1. to the poster who is paying $13 commission, pls switch to ib or at least get a flat trade fee somewhere. it pains me to even read how much you're paying.

hope don't float 4dog. if you were trading hd futs like me, you would have noticed the strong trend in place and been SHORT for a majority of the move. anyways, the hd mkt is too illiquid now, i'm moving on to bananas. i'm now long enough bananas to feed every chimp on earth for a year.
