Options - once considered a dog of an instrument when futures burst out on the scene, are back in style since it takes less $ than futures & equities and the advent of options on futures. Never have or would trade a single option - to many moving parts for my monkey brain. The U.S. is #3 in...

the name magnum, how could anyone not like that name??LOL-true......... Thanks - my name was a typo, it was supposed to be CroMagnon - I must have been partying when I registered here.

Open interest over the years is kind of flat. Volume looks like its fading. Eric Hunsador - CEO Nanex: V = Volume, L = Liquidity, P = price move High V + High L = Small P High V + Low L = Big P High V + #HFT only L = Flash Crash Open Interest Volume

Classic summer dull drums - low volume & all the action is early on. But hey, the NQ/FTSE/DAX/HSI/NK evening session was rockin!

LINDQ said: I have never seen a strategy in the publication that backtested profitably on my systems The back-testing on these strategies is shown in the magazine which often covers more than a decade, so that is just not true. They give all the disclaimers that historical performance- bla bla...

Here is a comment from one of the market wizards, Peter Brandt, he has a sustained ROR of 49% spanning 4 decades. Jack Schwagger considers him one of his favorites for this incredible track record. Peter knows the math of trading like few do and tells it like it is. He considers trying to trade...

Yea - spent plenty of time in other countries and saw first hand why we are called 'the ugly American tourist'. I retract my former comment that people are the same everywhere.

I would start off by listening to 'chat with traders' - it's free and covers all the dimensions of trading. Maybe take notes - you can learn from the experiences of 100+ successful traders. Note what techniques/tactics these traders have in common and what they think is important. A bunch of...

Nice stories. The stock/commodities markets are the biggest wealth creating devices on the planet. $400 in 1969/1970 when Seykota & Dennis started trading is equivalent to $2,400 now. $25,000 in 1972 when Baldwin started trading is equivalent to $146,371 now. $30,000 in 1972 when Marcus...

Someone had said this, but I was not me - hence that is why it was in italics. The original poster deleted it. I am willing to bet my life and the lives of my entire family that not a single individual in the Middle East or Asia would publish such a garbage littered with so much stupidity...

Why does 'naked straddle' always make me think of the 'iron condom' or whatever you call it.

How can price open away from vvap? You mean from globex vvap or you wanted to say it "stays" away from vvap. Your right - my error. I meant to say price breaks away from the VWAP line , usually early in the session and in a parabolic move.

How do you identify a day as a trending day, like last Friday, before it occurs? After the first half hour here are some of the signs of a trend day. not saying this is the only way - just my way since you asked: * Breaking out of a muti day/week/month consolidations or narrowing ranges -...

Early recognition of the structure of a trading day is essential to the active trader's success. I day trade the indexes, holding for the entire session, only when there are signs of trend day which are about 10% of the days. Those are the big pay days where you have an edge - the opposite of...

No margin ... no cry.

yet the mob, at least those that even short, usually bet against the very strongest stocks/companies when there are plenty of dogs out there.
