It's back to that old theme isn't it? "Bob Crowe needs a bullet in the head" I would much rather he was on some publicly funded jaunt in the far east redistributing the wealth to prostitutes. At least the damage he does there is limited. The man's a modern day wrecking ball. No doubt he prays...

I'm not having an argument with someone who calls me "buddy". Sorry, won't do it.

I get so fucking tired of the shills trying to sell you their books/ courses etc. The fact is with trading that either you have the character to trade or you do not. The vast majority do not have the qualities and flaws that make a good trader. I've come across very few people who have...

How about this for a scenario. It seems that the Monday before every NFP this year, the market "anticipates" the number regardless of the headfakes that the other jobs and economic figures bring that precede it. The market trends in that direction all week. NFP is released and as if by magic...

Absolutely true bone. I used TT for about 10 years and got so tired of the bugs in the system. Shame they never put the P&L bugs to the top of the list but then again they have so many issues to deal with, and very few clients they can be bothered to help...

NoDoji-you don't see how HFTs affect your trading and so that most likely is the case. That doesn't mean they don't do any harm just because they don't affect you.

Joovenile, the HFTs won't get caught on a 9/11 situation because they see the orders come into the exchange and yank their orders in time then stuff the order book to slow down the price feeds for mere mortals and fuck them over. True as somebody said, people have only been bitching about HFTs...

At rollover the calendar spreads in fixed income used to get priority, ie queue jump. Could this be the issue?

They are massively overpriced beds. Very comfortable without a doubt but you can shed a zero from the price if you remove the brand name and shop around. Walmart was selling them for a couple hundred bucks delivered when I bought one a couple of years ago.

zx80 clive sinclair at his finest the fun I had with that so called machine beat that kiddiwinks http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZX80 I think I win don't I? I can't see any challengers out there.

One word for you retaildaytrader -CREDIBILITY. You make bad calls and you've got none. But here's what I'll do - if you can make consistently bad calls then I will set up a reverse indicator fan club for you. Maybe you could be the Cramer of ET? Just a thought...

When Rotter used to dominate Eurex his style was predatory. I think he was plugged into what the big prop shop traders were doing, and when the opportunity presented itself he would turn them over. Why would anyone have a problem with him? Because it was infuriating when you get sucked into him...

I live in the civilized burbs of IL and it strikes me that where the children were white, say ten years ago, it sometimes seems that most are now asian/ half asian. Changes in the racial make up of neighborhoods have big implications. To the bigot or zealot that is good or bad. To the rest of...

Interesting that Cramer has taken time off from sucking satan's cock to make this call. I would like to suggest that the 'management' create a new forum called "stupid cunts", and any post that mentions the name of lucifer's number 1 cock gobbler gets filed therein. Cramer. Criminal...

d08 - I don't get your post. I think that we would disagree on the most basic level and that is what efficient and 'normal' markets are. I suspect that you have't been involved in the markets for more than a few years but feel free to put me right about that. You know that if the HFTs had to...

I don't handle any tv bills. I moved into an old house about a year ago and soon found out that the aerial wasn't digital. I thought I would sort it out as soon as I got bored. Still hasn't happened. I get the barry broadcasts, the oxygen thieves on cnbc and tweedle dee and tweedle dummer on...

More importantly -if trading fixed income futures is "hard" -then which are the easy markets? & why the fuck have I been trading fixed income? Only joking. Fixed income is a piece of piss. Like printing money. It's almost embarrassing how easy it is making money in treasuries. I spend half...

There are a lot of people to blame, but mainly it is the culture that has allowed the computer scientists to thrive. It's one in a series of examples of how America has departed from capitalism. Here is my theory. Technology is the religion among the business community of America. New...

drcha -the law in America is owned by the people who can afford the best lawyer. If you think otherwise then you have very rich parents or have never been involved in a legal skirmish. Point 2.The last pretense of the capitalist system in America that once might have rewarded risk and...

So what is capitalist about america? I see monopolies, government sponsored industries and what most people confuse for capitalism is the corporations that divide and extort from markets because they have nothing to contribute -apple is a prime example of mass marketing paying off big time in...
