Futures are usually under the category of 1256 contracts. The only thing you report is the total profit or loss in all 1256 contracts. You DO NOT break them down or show your trades. They are given 60 percent long term and 40 percent short term tax treatment. Use form 6781. Your brokerage...

Thats funny. They really are characters. But the market could go up more, why not? I mean new highs are still being made....... But the market could also go down from here, why not? I'm glad I'm not a long term investor... I stick to the history channel.

Yes. You you can get SP intraday data going back years. PM me with other questions and tell me how to refer you for this free month.

boomer, there are usually hundreds if not more, contracts on the inside bid and offer. You theoretically could take them all. I'm not sure what you mean by slippage? the market is electronic and first come first serve. You can take or hit whatever is there, which is a quite a bit. If you...

etherboy, that is not correct. YM is available to trade at IB whenever the A/C/E has it open, except for the nightly maintenance from about 12am-12:45am Eastern time.

Too much analysis.. going on in your head. The only thing that exists and ever will exist is the present. Future expectations and past memories don't mean shit. DO IT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or you never will.

your power supply fan may be the cause. I actually use specially made quiet power supplies. also your cpu heatsink may be loud, try Zalman fans.

I'm single but don't want to stay this way... where do I answer?

huh?

you go first. I'll be along shortly.

Goldenarm, I stick by the statement. It's not stressful when I am doing it right. Don't know about OPM, you may be right about that. Trading WAS stressful for me in the past. Trading is no longer stressful for me. Maybe because I trade interest rates with slower movements and I stick to...

If trading is stressful then you're not doing it right. ..I will never again take part in the rat race that plagues the daily lives of most americans. That's my motivation.......

I don't agree with this from personal ongoing experience, which is all I have. I focus on consistancy and not big up days. I prefer the little by little approach and if you put it in poker terms I'd say I'm a "tight" player. I hold no overnights and I trade interest rate futures and some ES...

Aside from that, ES hit Resistance 2 from Pivot formula which is also the weekly high. S&P cash hit weekly high. Dow hit 2nd upper stop. SOX hit 50 Day EMA, NQ was at 50 Day EMA and previous high area. It all lined up at that time for the short reversal. Nevermind divergence on an...

YES...... It wouldn't be fair to those higher bids to skip them over. Also, who would sell at a lower price then someone wants to buy? ---------------- You are running J-Trader and DTN on the same connection so I think DTN's reliability/speed is suspect. Try other feeds and compare...

I don't necessarily agree with that. The thing is though is when big institutions rule the trading like in the Treasuries; when they have to buy or have to bail it gives really good strong one directional moves. Look at bonds the last two months. Major selling by Mortgage backed securities...

Hey Scientist, I like your enthusiasm for the markets just try not to burn out with this stuff :) keep it up though. And ignore all these "Elite Trader" negative blow hards who believe that their experience or their current trading realilty has ANYTHING to do with other traders potential or...
