    SSFs: why no love?

    They're still relatively new for one thing. It will take awhile for them to catch on.

    Can someone make sense of this Israel-NPT thing?

    Obama wasn't even born in the US, he was born in Kenya. What kind of President can't even supply his damn birth certificate? Obama won't be around much longer, so this isn't too important anyway.

    Tos - Prodigio

    Until TOS fixes their data servers, I would rely on anything with them. So often in the day the charts are massively lagging or just completely wrong. How could you even dare to run an automated program in that kind of environment.

    144 tick charts

    I missed the question a few pages back, but yes, data comes from the exchanges and your software produces the time charts. The thing is that the CME began bundling its ticks, so the data that it sends is now different. Your software will still produce 144 ticks, but they won't be what...

    144 tick charts

    The tick data coming straight from the CME has changed. They bundle it, and there's no software that unbundles it, so you may think you're trading off the same 144 that your grandma did, but you're not.

    Any advantage to trading Eminis vs spiders?

    These days the leases and sales are going at a discount as well. If you have enough money, now is a good time for buying because they're at about 50% discounts, at least they were. That will save you a boat load on commissions. It will also impress people if you want to attract...

    For a guy no one has ever heard of there are a surprising number of low post posters who have taken his course. Sounds like typical hind sight bull shit. The ones that get slammed, oh well take your losses quickly, that ones that get slammed and run back up, oh well you've got to be...

    It's true if you own a seat.

    Any advantage to trading Eminis vs spiders?

    I don't buy the spread bit. One tick on the ES would earn you about 7.50 per contract after normal commissions. You only need to put about 2,500 dollars for that, so 1 tick earns = about a third of a percent. How many SPY shares would been need to earn 7.50 on a 2 cent move? Assuming...

    TA can't predict that a large order will be placed now and not in 15 min, 1 hour, etc

    If there were simple rules to follow that worked, then every one would trade them and be rich. Indicators are generally worth less. I'm not sure why they were even created. I imagine it mostly the Jack Hershey's of the world. For me TA works, so long as your winners are bigger than...

    Here's your chance to show how smart you are

    The important thing isn't predicting or knowing what the markets are going to do, it's how to put on trades and produce profits. If you stop trying to be right, it's a lot easier to make money.

    Why not just average down UPRO all the way to zero?

    If you hold until it eventually reaches zero, yes it will work. The problem is if you get your short called in, and possibly at the worst time. If that happened you would book a huge loss. You could also short both sides, since they'll both head to zero, and you'll be somewhat hedged...

    eminidaytrader.com - anyone ever use it?

    That's bull shit. They're selling a system, and after a year you couldn't get it to work. Don't blame yourself, blame the system. Sounds like a system that always wins in hindsight. There are many like that. Just look at all the half back buys/ sells. In hindsight that's a profitable...
