I think what you're saying is the effect is small. What I'm trying to say, but failed to elaborate is, the effect to the extent that it exists is due to gamma trading and not a conspiracy of market makers, which is what some believe.

Pinning is the effect of gamma trading.

You can put most of the talking heads on stock TV in this catagory. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6eXhEvHR58

I agree, ceasing is not the answer. You'll get it and knock it out of the park. I have no doubt.

I begged him a couple of months ago, as have many others. His system has failed, but there is still plenty of cash left to pull it out IF he stops and regroups. Go to another method and get small, really small, like ten shares small. Right now it is all about preserving capital. Good...

Let them eat cake.

I follow him like a religion. Cramer is my donkey. JC buys tops and sells bottoms, that's just who he is.

Interesting, I've never had that problem with TS, but would drop them if I did. Curious, what platform are you considering using instead?

You asked, so here are my two cents worth. :) There is no perfect platform, just what is best for you. I've used all three of these and like them all. E-signal is a data provider, so you'll need to decide who you want to trade with and be sure that they link with e-signal. In the past I...

I watched the first episode of Mad Money several years back. He gained some "street cred" with his bullish GOOG call at a time when GOOG was almost universally hated following the tech crash. GOOG aside, I've found Jim Cramer to be one of the most reliable contra indicators, possibility of...

I had similar issues with Realtick and moved on several years ago. There is no right or perfect answer to your question, IMHO. You're going to need demos on multiple platforms to find what's right for you, and then pick the lesser of two evils. I've been using Tradestation for the last four...

You two should adjust your tin foil hats.

Sounds like a nice short if you're right

I'll stand by Trade Station. Buck a contract and platform fees waved with very minimal volume. TS also allows spread orders, stops linked to the underlying contract etc. etc. FWIW

Have to go with the school of hard knocks as well. This is a psych game, all the alphabets in the world behind your name doesn't mean squat. In fact, it's probably a disadvantage.

Common sense is an uncommon virtue these days.

I'm in a good mood today so hear is a link. :) http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/category.aspx?c=us&category_id=4009&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&nf=177~0~174493,4723~0~266594&~ck=anav&navla=4723~0~266594
