I average into every losing trade I have and am loving the strategy- of course I have a point at which I'll cut my loss, but it is about 3x my daily profit goal. Silly disinformation floating around about cutting losses quickly- I love all your stop losses, they force liquidity into a market at...

bond market is trading as if it wants to confirm this h&s, very strong belly

doesn't the 6 month s&p look like a near perfect head & shoulders pattern? that along with the commodities crack, europe and huge vol increase in the bond market... makes me nervous going forwards. (ie flat and looking to get bearish if we break lower over the next week or so.)

cme is about to leave chicago- so even if it were to be the best now, it won't be in a few years

what happened during the crash by my understanding was basically this: someone had collected a lot of bitcoins, some stolen, but perhaps some of their own as well, and by a lot i mean more than 100,000 coins (of a total float less than 7m) mt.gox has withdrawal limits of 1k / day and 10k /...

the avg volume for the last month has been about 1mil / day, so i doubt you could play effectively w/100k, but you definitely could play well with smaller amounts (like 90% of this board trades). as to the intra-market arb, i'm not sure how well it would work out but i'm sure there are some-...

the closest thing to a real job i've ever had was lifeguarding for 3 summers in high school- i've been a pro-trader since the day i graduated college.

don't you mean how overbought is the market? welcome to the new bear. don't fight the bond market.

someone sold a lot in a thin market on the release of the news about the new findings in the gulf

yeah sometimes i find myself in znub at 2.5:1 as i'm trading, but generally speaking i don't like to stretch out my pairs- i'll trade tufs, fits, nobs and bobs all day long but generally speaking don't feel as comfortable involved with the tut, fob or newb as i've coined the znub.

and by subsidy you mean pay a reasonable tax rate rather than an extortion rate since they no longer need to stay in chicago to function. if it offers no competitive advantage (and if google is building a high speed infrastructure in the middle of nowhere there is no reason to think the CME...

nickels, i believe they already cost almost 8 cents to make them- they're the new mercury dime

yeah i was going to point out the inconsistency of the exchange offered spreads if you were to do znub znzb : 5:3 zbub : 3:2 those would yield a 5:2 rather than the 3:1 that the znub trades at interesting that these spreads don't lineup whereas shift them all over one and you get...

i'm pretty sure all bids and offers are considered bonafide if they are sitting out ther as limit orders. you could sell into him if you wanted, he just no longer thought it was a good deal when you finally wanted to sell them. he'll eventually get swept through sometime, and that will be...

my wife is a doctor and when we started dating she thought she'd be the bread winner- she almost choked when i told her i make more in a month than she will in a year (after about 9 months dating)

my wife doesn't think i have a "real" job even though i make more in a month than she does all year- it kind of makes me laugh a bit. but my experiences with "professionals" is that, in general, most are in awe of the fact that i've managed to make money in the markets day-in-day-out...

i smell a 133 handle in zn in the next couple months- and what do y'all think about my condor? it's already up since i posted it a fair amount and i think it's just going to keep on a printing.

bone i don't know how you have less than 2k posts- i feel like i always see posts of your pointing out reasonable (and yet seemingly unknown to newbies) information and you've been around for almost 10 years. i will invite you all to my playground- come trade treasury futures it's so "easy"!
