    Anyone use Murrey Math?

    The esignal chart follows along with my earlier comment - looks like the script is still sometimes incorrectly calculating the frame boundaries. It doesn't match the results from two popular programs that produce MM charts.

    Anyone use Murrey Math?

    Murrey's stuff is based on some Gann basics and is interesting. Murrey himself definitely comes across as a raving lunatic though. And his writings are practically incomprehensible. He's about the worst ad for the method possible because it's tough to take anything he says seriously because...

    What the f*ck happened (again)?

    It would have to involve collusion between two firms. If the fat finger mistake was investigated, the first thing that would be checked would be the trading records of the firm making the mistake to see if they conducted any trades in the ES or related/sympathetic securities to profit from the...

    Federal Government tells Federal Judge "Screw off"

    There's nothing incorrect about what's happening so far. The executive branch (in this case the government prosecutors) hasn't refused to comply with an order of the US Supreme Court. Prosecution and defendent attorneys refuse to immediately comply with lower court rulings all the time...

    strangle calculations

    You're not really "selling premium" by trading long strangles then - your just legging into up to two different spreads.

    Options on Index Futures

    Volume on options on the full contract are higher than the emini, but still no where near the volume and OI of the equity index options. Seems a matter of how they're used. With futures you can use the contracts themselves to set up calendar spreads and you can use the contracts in some...

    Trend Reflection Program - Help!

    The problem's not specifically that it's a mechanical system - lots of trading firms have their own mechanical systems and make tons of money. Some people have a personal bias against any black box method and there are loads of BS systems for sale in the various trading mags. But not...

    Better Web Browser...?

    A big jump in opinion about Outlook. Norton AV works with Outlook just fine and automatically filters all emails containing viruses. No reason to switch browsers just so it can be used for email. People who use any email client without virus filtering, allow unlimited feature use by HTML...

    Better Web Browser...?

    For those using browsers other than IE, in your opinion what's the killer feature (or features) in any of them that makes bothering to move from IE worthwhile (BTW, email features aren't important - I use MS Outlook (not Outlook Express) for email). Thanks.

    Dial-up anywhere ISP access

    Beware accelerators - they'll often work OK for normal websurfing, but I've had a couple different ones mess up file downloads done through the browser. The download looks like it works, but the file is incomplete or corrupt. In those instances, you then have to deactivate the accelerator and...

    Blackjack - counting cards

    Cheating's got nothing to do with it. The casino is within its rights to ask anyone they want to leave (the old "we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone"). They're can't prosecute you for card counting since it's not illegal or cheating, but they can ban you and add your face and...

    Guessing Daily Direction of ES/NQ

    Do I understand you correctly, that these numbers represent the % of the time the close was higher than price at the given time of day when the price at that time of day was higher than the open? If so, there are a couple things to consider: 1. The differential above flipping a coin is...

    Dial-up anywhere ISP access

    Most of the larger ISPs like Earthlink have local dialup access numbers pretty much everywhere. Check the earthlink.net website and look at their access number directory to see if they've got coverage where you'll be. I've used Earthlink for access while traveling for years and have always...

    Qcharts continuation?

    If you mean "continuous contract" charts - the answer's no. To do them right, you need to do more than just paste the end of the 2003 March chart to the start of the 2003 June chart - you have to normalize and massage the data across multiple contracts to create a continuous set of data...

    Interest Rate Options Help!

    Hopefully you're not asking someone else to hit the quote for you, since you're the one interested in the darn thing. If you want to try to hit the quote to see if it's real or stale, by all means give it a try. It'll probably just move the quote and go unfilled. On the off chance, a...

    Interest Rate Options Help!

    You're looking at a June 2004 option As of right now - FVX is 25.97 and the June 2004 40 put is quoted at 8.50x9.70 There's no open interest, has been traded yet, and no size on it - so it's probably a stale quote. If you try to hit it, you'll be able to see how fast it changes to...
