1. Now that you guys seem to start seeing the merit of the short straddle trade, which was my favorite choice earlier in this thread and at end of the previous thread, I am now starting to worry. I am clipping it. 2. I have a suggestion to all the regulars of this thread: could you post a...

That was the morning top! :) Now QQQQ at 44.25 at some minutes before 10:30AM. I feel the bulk the gyrations are done for this morning. Unless someone can show some interesting trades, I am am done. In any case, good luck everyone!

Good insight!

9:52AM: Nasdaq 100 is up ~1%. Are we done for this morning on the upside?

Futures are in the green, 10 minutes before the open. Should we take profits immediately after the open, or wait longer? Will test Friday lows immediately after the open, or wait until later?

If someone understood Wallace's last post, could you explain? Thanks.

What edits need to be made to the post you responded to in order to make it closer to reality? Since EUR/USD rose, should not the last sentence be changed a bit "1 WAS making ...." ""200,000 traders around the world have already chosen InstaForex" all but 200 have lost their ass...

Beauty contest hey: I like that. Do you have a free trial involving the best winner?

1.Bob1: Could you explain? Thanks. 2. All: How about effect of wash sale rule?

1. What if the commission structure is a per share? The guy who scales may also reduce his commission by buying on the bid and by selling on the ask, and therefore saving the spread which may offset the commission cost altogether. 2. Implicit in your remark is that averaging does not affect...

Why not design some strategies that beat them (arb?). Once they lose, they will stop advertising here. Maybe telling more details about the games they play can help figure them out. Atticus: Any clever ways to pump money from the shop?

I want to address all the readers of Shortie's threads. I believe that Shortie is making an outstanding contribution to ET by taking the lead (consistently and regularly) on his now classic threads, and he deserves recognition, encouragement, and possibly some help from you. I think you can...

The real story that I did not see people talk about are the bonds. The move was ferocious the second part of last week. The action was in bonds, and not in stocks (with exception of Friday). So from bonds action, the "cash on sideline", if any, was heading to bonds not to stocks. I agree...

1. Averaging up is like a call option, without paying all premium upfront. 2. Average up depends on reward compare to risk, and makes sense when reward is huge compared to risk. So it is a risk management tool, and not a compounding tool.

Are you sure about that? Hint: Variance reduces the return.

BBC is mentioning riots in a major city in France. Does anyone know more about this? Is it significant for Europe stocks, and for the Euro?

Israel supporters seem to think that others are gullible enough that repeating lies would lead to erasing the truth. Every human on earth (Israel supporters included) knows that Israel stole the lands of Palestinians. It is an absolute truth that would never be erased, because truth always...

I am not shortie, but he is contrarian if he decided to go long on friday end of day because market was down? You do not agree?

Regarding the upside, I currently do not see why the market would go beyond 117.5? Note that 110 is the middle of 102.5 and 117.5. Is it the reason why 110 was a battle ground?

Another strange sign: the bonds made a new highs, but stock market did not go to the lows. The bond move was a ferocious move, triggered by the Fed meeting words. This move of bonds, coupled with what happened in stocks and in the dollar are strange. Maybe it is easy credit, yet an inflation...
