    CL Redux

    Why do traders here want to buy such a weak market? Some are averaging down when the position has gone against them.

    CL Redux

    You can't say I didn't warn you. I have some skin in the game from .81 and .84.

    CL Redux

    Why? This is a likely location for a top and selloff down to at least $110.

    It was Bunge...

    The futures regulator said the traders had no intention of executing the orders and pulled them before the open. The action affected the price of soybeans, violating the Commodity Exchange Act. Clueless.

    1/4% Tax on all stock trades pushed in NY Times today

    Fucking looters. Can someone please resurrect and update the FTT supporter charity blacklist? Maybe we could have a wiki for this? I would be happy to contribute time to maintaining it. How about a database. Individuals and organistions in favour, their activities supporting this, quotes...

    Is Trading a Perfect or Imperfect Information Game?

    If your trading strategy does not take account of Big Boys... then best not guess at what you think they are doing. I see the point you are making about price action generally, and reading the market well enough to be on the correct side of big moves. However, my posts above were designed to...

    Is Trading a Perfect or Imperfect Information Game?

    The outcome arrived as expected, with the market being made to lift to take out these traders stops positioned above the high at 104.54. You will see that we have lifted over $2 since my post. You cannot complain I do not tell you everything. Hopefully this illustrates to you why those...

    Is Trading a Perfect or Imperfect Information Game?

    Not correct. Size doesn't execute like that. With reference to the bigger players, that type of move is a result of participation being withdrawn rather than simultaneous coordinated selling by large interests. The velocity was sufficient to scare out the weak holders who "follow trends" and...

    Most Difficult Trade

    Exactly. Irrelevant. Now, to the poll questions: First setup of the day - no, one of the easier ones as you have all the time in the world to prepare and you have your template for the day Setup following a losing trade - no Setup following two or more losing trades in a row - no...

    Charts Patterns are not correct

    One of the best posts I've seen on these boards. Of course it goes largely unnoticed, which tells you everything you need to know.

    grinding day

    Listen, hey! What you are asking is perverse. In addition to live calls you expect a proficient trader to share their reasoning! What do you offer to trade in return? Disgusting. In other words you will abuse those who can get it right in some sort of sick game where you withhold your...

    grinding day

    To ask the people here to put aside ego and concentrate on self improvement is to invite disappointment. I've only seen a few of your posts but it is apparent to me that you know what is what. While it is admirable to share your success with others who are worthy and may derive just benefit, I...

    why is it called "sweet" oil?

    The difference between those who understand how to play each condition and have the experience and confidence to execute at the correct time (and price), and those who are uncertain or need to "wait for confirmation". Also, I wonder if amateurs position size properly when the range expands...

    Guns on campus: Texas poised to pass bill

    Are they free adults of sound mind, or are they mentally incompetent individuals who have restrictions placed on their freedoms according to the rule of law, which are imposed by recognised judicial authority at a public hearing? Or do you propose it is proper to remove rights under any other...

    Guns on campus: Texas poised to pass bill

    Don't these Universities draw funds from public sources? By what right does a public, as distinct from a private, institution have to interfere with the right to bear arms? If the state charters universities to grant degrees, and attendance at the university is a prerequisite to receiving one...
