GDX ... might be worth looking at as well as XAU index sometimes the gold market tags along for the ride when the miners are chugging along on a buy or sell program

I do not want to post here but I do wish to say that in order to make 100 K a day you have to be working with OPM or have reached a level of success that most people on ET can only dream of I do think it is all relative a single gent making 100 K plus in a yr as a trader who...

with all due respect to the BT business model and top traders there would not the number of successful traders be higher at a place that is more selective in choosing whom can trade with them ? ( i.e. goldman sachs or a top HF ) ?

in general don't people say that less than 10 % maybe less than 5 % of independent "traders " make serious money no matter what instrument or time frame they choose to trade ? ( - note - this is just a number ( s ) that are thrown around when I read about traders making it )

YES ... I know that if a person has "the edge" in any game of chance or bet ... in the long run ... they might come out ahead and in some cases waay .. ahead ... here is what I wish to bring up .. I used to go to the racetrack ... daily ( as a college age kid ) and once in a while...

I seldom post as I am humble but I had a good return this week on my capital and the week was prob. one of my top 10 of the yr funny though ... some folks make or lose in a day what I make in a good week ... but I think I am doing pretty good for "retail" :)

I think they still need to wait for the comex - nymex deal to be all ironed out ... maybe post IPO ( nymex) for the CME to get the final "GO" on this meanwhile .... silver today is back over $13.00 BOOYAH !! :p

gosh ... the market is making fools of alot of people yesterday late in the day I think at least 500 -1000 contracts were sold late in the day ... pushing prices lower a few $$$ at the time they looked "smart" with todays action I would think those sales are looking "stupid" ...

looks like the market is now turning lower maybe I will sell rallies ... oops ... I forgot I am a scalper and spreader and arb'er :p

ok not so crazy ... but in some of the names I follow it seems like a daily "oops" take place on either the closing print or shortly afterwards .... prices trade 20 cents - 50 cents etc higher and then when people figure out it will be them holding the bag ... they scramble to unwind and...

have the funds left your "institution yet" ? if so ... then call IB today to ask about the transfer anyway ... thats my best guess on what to do good luck !

only if the euro and crude oil cooperate for you sir :)

thanks for your reply ... I assume that an upgrade or downgrade is esp powerful if the stock makes a higher high or lower low than the prior day ?

my prices are back on cme products

hmmm ... I just noticed a problem myself all globex platform futures gone ... no data ( I tried your strategy ... logoff and logon ... but still no data feed ) I will call the CME soon if this is not fixed by my broker to see if it is a problem on their end

I was trading ABX today actually scratched on a few thousand shares but tried to hedge in NEM ( did ok ) and in SLV ( did not do so good ) as I was caught up in the moment "fading some "starmine analyst expert " who "Downgraded" ABX today now I do not really think mining...

I think he means in 2008 ... ps silver is strong today :)

if you have the right "edge" and do not "blow up" the acct and are willing to grind it out during any hours that provide you that edge ... you might be able to make 6 figures from this small acct ... providing there is good volatility or the edge continues to be enough after slippage...

any thoughts on gold or silver ? :)
