Thanks oldtime -- that's not so much a concern for my situation; I am more concerned about all possible (perhaps unforeseen) liabilities for my trader and their assets/credit/etc/etc.

Ok, sorry if this has already been answered by you and others, but clarifying this would be very helpful to me. I want to be absolutely sure that my chosen trader has absolutely no liabilities of any kind, both legal and tax, and otherwise. Hence, if we have a joint account in my name and my...

You might look into 27" Korean branded 2560x1440 monitors with S-IPS panels - figure $300 to $450 each. You will likely need to upgrade your video card. Two of those will give you plenty of real estate. In fact, each of those 27" screens will be equivalent to 1.78 24" 1920x1080 panels.

I could be way off base here, so if so, I apologize. And, analyzing in hindsight is always 20/20.. so it goes. These are just my views, also for my own benefit. Respectful/cordial discussion is appreciated. My thought is that a trading plan's stop loss strategy should be determined by...

Ahh, sorry. I didn't mean to post my silly little charts. I will stop doing so.

Thanks for your input, that was the info I needed. Duh!

Hehe, nice. I always use let me google that for you when I wish to subtly insult the person asking a question that was easily google-able.

Forgive me if this is a simplistic question. Why did SPY diverge heavily (downward) from $SPX today? It is not as though an ETF is like a futures contract, which rolls over and has a cost of carry, right? Or does it? What am I missing? Thanks in advance for your insight and objective input.

Trading is stressful enough as it is.. frell, guys.. this deterioration is unwarranted and counterproductive. I hate waking up to this crap.

6J: Long above 1.0350 with a very tight stop. I'll cruise with gmst on this one..it's just a trade.

Just playing devil's advocate here. I have been watching this thread regularly because this is a situation that I have found myself in before.. Martinscaling is almost always a bad idea because of that one monster, ostensibly irrational trend that never looks back..... If you were in the...

Whoa. Are you adjusting your targets or just gonna take the small gain(s)?

Thanks newwurldmn. This sounds along the lines of what I am seeking. However, I likely need to do some additional d.d. regarding the legal implications. Taking this one I found as an example: http://www.optimusfutures.com/supp_managed_accounts.pdf ..is there anything that the CTA...

Also if anyone has any specific broker recommendations or can point to a link of an account type that (mostly) fits my criteria, please feel free to post here or PM me if necessary. Much appreciated -- thank you.

Hello Elite Trader, I have a quick question about possible retail account types that a broker might offer. Interest is in various derivatives (futures / options), but would consider firms that specialize in one or the other, if the right firm(s) can cater to my needs. Here's what I am...

For Gold, looking at today's intraday price action (Feb. 14, 2013), it looks like there is some ugly battle happening around this support area. Russell 2000 futures: We hit the upper channel line, predictably. My original intention upon spotting this a few days back was to 'sit in my...

It seems the support trendline on Gold weekly is even cleaner than expected, after looking at the weekly 5 year chart. It is going to break down here? Target would be 1,400 if breakdown occurs in earnest.

Coffee: Here's another one I hate and I'll tell you why. The words 'limit down' scare the living bejesus out of me. And, that sound that a Keurig coffee maker makes when it starts brewing sounds like a frelling game show sound effect when the contestant loses. Except in futures...

30 yr: I hate this setup. The large bear rising wedge broke -- I had been watching this forever and everyone and their mama knew we topped back in August. I remember jogging with my girlfriend past the downtown area of our city, telling her on almost the exact day, "You just watch...

I am interested to see how Gold behaves around this price level. Are we threatening to break down here? Or is this support going to hold? In any case, maybe this is a monster setup? It would be nice not to miss the gorilla in the room. :D Popcorn and 3d glasses ready. Locked in...
