Yeah, I have wondered the same thing... why white collar criminals don't plan their escape better (or at all). They come up with clever ways to steal money and then don't even have the foresight to plan their escape. If you are going to be a criminal you might as well go all the way and do it...

There was this Greek American up in New York named Angelo Haligiannis. He's escaped prison (so far) because he fled before sentencing to Greece and they've refused to extradite him back because of his grandparents being Greek. I can't find any new information on his status but the Greek...

It depends on what your frequency of trading is and how important slippage is to you. 1 and 2 ticks of slippage on each side of the trade can add up to plenty at the end of the year. I would rather use market orders in ES because the the spread is so tight and you are bound to be one of the...

LOL, it's true. We were talking about Bolze over a year ago. Where ya been http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2009/jan/09/investors-may-be-mostly-european/ Bolze plead guilty in Nov to fraud and money laundering. He is scheduled to be sentenced on April 15th...

They've already done this with soybeans. I read somewhere that since 1996 GMO soybeans went from around 4% to now over 90%. They employ private investigators to snoop around any farmers not using their seeds and will sue if they find cross-contamination in these farmers even if it is likely from...

is this for real? what was your risk on this trade? there is no chance that this is a profitable way to trade long term. just the chop alone makes this gain insignificant and negative expectancy long-term with commissions and slippage. worse you were probably risking much more than you realized...

I'm a big believer in price action so yes, volume is important. You can use it to read the tea leaves so to speak. Sometimes it works great as a prediction tool other times not so much. Most of my trades are automated so I only view it as an observer and not so much to enter/exit trades. Some...

Hard to say as it could be 5 or 3 or 10 or anything in between. Your best bet it to keep an eye on the volume. Look at the sequence today starting around 12:30 - 1:00pm. The down volume starts to dry up with each passing 5 minute bar. You can see it hit its lowest point at around 1:30pm and then...

price action, I don't use any indicators for price prediction. lower highs, lower lows, etc. It is all subjective though and you can never really be 100% sure it won't blow back on you. The only way to be more confident is increase your screen time and manage your risk in the trade as it goes...

Ok, best to sell rallies on weak days than jumping in during a down bar. You will most always end up better off than selling on a down tick. Sell failed rallies if you are going to stay in an intraday trading timeframe. If you are longer term then your strategy of selling during heavy volume...

I should have done that two years ago when you were still debating about QM vs CL but I didn't. Too late now! Ok, I see you are serious about focusing on trading. I'll stop bringing up old stuff. Specifically, what kind of market conditions are you looking for to enter a short? Basically are...

What's the deal with that financevisor forum? It is like a mirror of ET with different dates and handles changed? I found some of my old posts from 2007 re-posted in 2010 under a different name?

Be sure and also keep up-to-date on your choice of food and beverages too while you are "focusing" on all those markets. You used to give us so much good info on your earlier threads!!Starbucks or water? Is it too early for pretzels?? This thread has a bit longer before moving to Chit Chat so...

Any USEFUL trading journal has trades and p/l results! The question-to-trade ratio is getting out of whack. Increasenow asks tons of questions all the time (even the same questions over and over). I don't see much evidence he actually uses any of the advice he gets. Sometimes I think he just...

Is this 20 questions or a trading journal?

You need to post your trades in real-time or as close as possible with actual fill prices and what your target/stop is going to be. You can always post a blotter at the end of the day or week and you will probably need to if you want to prove you are actually making money with your trades...

Yeah, he was confused about a lot of details. He said he knocked the guy out for 22 minutes and that the guy hit him in the face three times. He also said the guy was a wanted for murder but then said he was going back to jail for armed robbery and parole violations. Who knows what is true...

Did you notice that she grabbed Beard Man's bag of groceries at the end of the video also? She said on a follow up youtube video today that she grabbed the bag for the police as evidence. Umm right... free groceries is my guess...
