    On Bloomberg - psychopaths make best traders

    i can see it now -- the new Elitertrader t-shirt --- on the front --- "No Fear" on the back --- "Fear This" {with a picture of an unshaven disturbed looking man like Jack Nicholson in front of 15 monitors with one hand on the mouse and the other hand holding a big knife}

    Anyone else suprised by this lack of action?

    the es movement seemed about right to me since the ftse held up well and has stayed positive all morning --- we did hit 1239.00 at the low and that was over 3 points from fridays close. the dax did come up a good amount from its low also so the es move seems about right.

    German Election

    well at least the election shows about 1/3 of Germany understands that "SociaCapitalism" does not work. :D so is the ex-easterners the predominant "lovers of the government check" each month or who is the predominant lovers of big handout government? Or did all the young always-westerners...

    Smacking the ER2

    one thing i have found is the use of a tick chart {i use 1200 tick for the er2} for your longer period chart has the ability to "clean up" the indicators versus the use of a 10 minute or 15 minute based chart --- and that helps me to keep an eye on the general trend at the time I am taking {or...

    Smacking the ER2

    the 1200 tick chart example I sent you with the indicator settings that I had in the chart examples can show you when to trade with the trends and not against them --- taking only the 3 min chart signals that are in alignment with the 1200 tick chart indicators direction during these strong...

    I have talked to the NYSE about the TICK data they put out and they sell raw data, then you would have to have a system/program to calculate the TICK ratio for you. What they did tell me is who they recommend for the calculated TICK as seen with Esignal, IB, Realtick, etc for the best speed...

    if you look at the NYSE TICK from that day you can see the strength and where it really started to hold for the day --- http://www.ttrader.com/mycharts/display.php?p=36324&u=macroevent&a=MacroEvent&id=1511 That was a very strong showing for the TICK {September 9th}, and that type of day...

    The legitimate complaints against Bush regarding the response to Hurricane Katrina

    How about reading the very recent reports of how the LA/N.O.'s levee funding and projects by the Army Corp Of Engineers was BLOCKED over the last few years by several environmental groups that sued the A.C.O.E's. I was also just about to read again the new reports of how LA received much more...
