:D Wrong sci-fi franchise. This guy knows how to game a market:

My murky crystal ball tells me the anti-oil, anti-inflation plays. Transports, travel, utilities, financials (banks, brokerages, insurance, etc.).

I didn't catch BONT but with the help of my patented super-dooper hindsight guruvision gizmo I can pinpoint a few things: It offered a very nice entry because the candle was inside range and very narrow. So the stop should have been around $21.25 (but never in an obvious place like that...

It helps if you think of your strategy as short puts rather than long underlying and short the call. Then its easy to notice two key elements for success in such a situation: 1] High volatility to get fat premiums 2] A bull market Or ideally both. The question is this, are we in a...

FWIW, Belkin is still grumbling about lower lows into the year.

When you go to post, its right under the screen that you type in. Once you've written your text, click on "Browse" and find the pic file you saved on your hard drive. Then click 'ok' and the file path and name will show up in the cell to the left of the "Browse" button. All you have to do then...

Parness - Rule the Freakin' Markets ...oh, how I weep for those poor defenseless pine trees.

I think Magna (along with other mods) do a great job. I don't think most realize that its a thankless job - and they're doing this as volunteers, not paid employees. If anything ET needs much more moderation to clean out the idiots and bring the caliber of posting back up...

darkhorse, the process of 're-writing' phobias - in essence, getting rid of them - does not necessarily involve "contemplation and understanding". For some it may and that is how they will overcome their phobia. But for many hypnotherapy is the alternative that is fast, lasting and painless. It...

ok I think I understand it better. So API is more of a protocol than a stand alone piece of software. IOW a bridge to get certain software to do something.

I've searched on the net and found several defn for the acronym but its still not clear. Is it a piece of software? one that plugs into another piece of software? I'd appreciate anyone who can offer a clear defn (especially related to trading tech) for a non-techie. Feel free to use...

Its been a while since someone had a Luskin-like meltdown over there. Rev Shark better practicing his ducking skills- I have a feeling keyboards, monitors and other such office paraphenalia will be whizzing towards his head soon. For the record, I think Rev Shark has some real balls...

kgharris, thanks for the link to the blog - very interesting. nimrodeo, good insight re round numbers. Its not a secret that good exits are vital for maximizing the 'dummy' trade. re trend/gap ups, if you notice my first example in the thread (ATYT) was a gap down which then shot up. Its...

Any news on a class actions against GS for dropping the ball on DD pre IPO?

Everyone's excited over the cut but I'm salivating over what will be coming down the pipeline: IB can teach Japanese companies a thing or two about Kaizen.

Who is "James Rodgers"? Do you mean Jim Rogers (the other half of Quantum's dynamic duo)? WB btw is a trader - and a darned good one. This is one of the most misunderstood things about him. He made the vast majority of his money trading fast and furious - not sitting on KO for 6 decades.

jim, just like other IB users my priority is the stability of the platform over any bells and whistles. Having said that, I must point out that I don't think these two things are necessarily mutually exclusive. Once stability is ensured, I would like to see added functionality (as long as it...

Yet again, a chart of BOT with several 'dummy' spots shown. You may ask, why the long bias? You have to think about BOT with the frame of reference provided by CME. You either have people who were long CME and enjoyed a serious multi-bagger - these very few are kicking themselves for not...

p2, I'm surprised you played Refco. I remember reading somewhere in your GNP threads that you didn't touch accounting tainted stocks. Out of curiosity, did you play VNT in August?
