Priceless

I hope everything works out perfectly fine for Larry, and he then decides to enter the WorldCup contest in 2007 for a 20th anniversary of the record win. Word has it he's interested in doing so, which would be fun to see :>) Best Trading Wishes, Austin

Rennick, I've said this before: If I could assemble words like you so easily can that entertained so well, I wouldn't be a day-trader stuck inside these charts every day. BTW... any chance Dan Marino might make a guest appearance with y'all sometime? Our beloved Dolphins could still use his...

I have never used IB as a broker before, and have no opinion on them at all. I do use a broker that can be reached by phone inside of three rings for when emergencies arise. Right now I'm using Mirus Futures with NinjaTrader (no affiliation with either) and have never had a connection issue...

Monthly oil chart shows heavy magnetism near $56.50 ~ $57.50 range. Could bounce first, but the $57 barrel is more probable than not. I watch this futures contract, but don't trade it myself. Way too "cowboy" for me on overnight holds, and the ER offers more consistent intraday potential...

m4, I could be wrong, but most likely scenario is your system is junk. Anyone with a smattering of TradeStation savvy can write systems with equal to greater <b>hypothetical</b> historical performance than what you have. Rubber meets the road when they walk forward with your real money in tow...

<b>Nasdaq</b>, you might find someone who will build a website using Microsoft FrontPage software. That can be held and edited inside your computer and/or likewise on a live server. Have the designer build it simple and teach you the basics... self reliant in relatively short order. The...

m4, your question about NQ specific behavior in 2005 is moot. An index is constantly changing = evolving over the course of time for innumerable reasons. A system that cannot adapt or encompass change is worthless. The NQ (and every index) will continue to create new tendencies = patterns...

<i>"lol anyone else have comments?"</i> Sure M4... I'll bite. Looks to me like a volatility breakout system, either balanced on both legs or imbalanced to the short side. If you wrote the logic, you can easily affirm that's the case, or suggest what else you use. My second guess would...

Caddy... I thought we were friends? What about "having my back" from now on instead of blasting me like you once promised? That's fine, some people in this world are true to their word, some just aren't :( ** Everyone still reading this thread (both of you), let's talk for a moment...

Monthly chart of Crude Oil (continuous contract) shows long-term support near $57 and especially $54 zones. I drew enough lines on this chart to span the Golden Gate bridge... there are more points of reference near those dollar levels, but enough is enough. If they crack below light support...

1,000 YM contracts x 19pts? That is probably the entire true open interest of contracts traded thru such a span. 1,000 in the ES? Several ticks push. 1,000 in the YM? Wow!

I have more than $100k available to cash upon 24-hour notice. It is not in any broker's account... anyone heard of Refco around here? IMO, leaving much more capital in a futures account than leverage needed is waste of time. I can trade 60 emini contracts of whatever I want tomorrow. I don't...

Virgin, I'll let you figure all that stuff out about me for yourself. Whatever you conclude, I can live with (smile) JJ2

Wayne, huge laugh! If the market goes -$500k against me on a 10-lot ever, the least of anyone's worry will be a margin call. Agreed? Thanks for the levity! Austin

Virgin, I like JJ, but we are not the same person. You've been here since 2000, quite a long time... I hope the difference between JJ and I is truly apparent to you. If I post the trade statements here, I get your approval? That's my reward... the grudging approval of one person? Would...

JJ, thanks for the echo but I'd prefer to respond myself. Where is the line here in this forum where I win? Where exactly would the point be where I have no voices of dissention ever again? If I show Sep statements thru the end that go +500%, everyone retorts it was only one month... show...

Don't worry about me, Thunder... I'll always be just fine :>) First, I'm not down to my last $20k just yet. Secondly, I'm not a systems trader, and I don't have strings of losing days as you fear might happen. That is all about my own personal trade size and management. On all of those...

Duckling, given the choice, I'd rather be a trust fund baby than active trader. Why couldn't I call Paris Hilton "sister"?
