    Some books I am considering.

    The ones above plus the original "Market Wizards", and (surprised that) no one mentioned "Trading in the Zone" (Douglas) and The Disciplined Trader" (Douglas)..... should read them early on IMHO... regards, ICe :cool:

    PDT question?

    playing the devil's advocate... ... why is it ok for other businesses to borrow capital, and have lines of credit that they employ within their business in order to grow it... but not in a trading business?. Frankly, if you view trading as one should... as a "business"... then raising...

    BOX.. cancel fees & AH trading

    anyone been trading options on BOX... I have had good experiences so far.... the question is whether this is like a grand opening sale special, or whether these improved fills will continue. :p :p I have always thought the spreads on options were ridiculous, and unnecessarily wide...

    SINA - After hours

    NTES revenues were light, earnings "beat" by FOUR whole cents! :eek: :eek: Debating if the "likely" (but not for sure) gap opening tomorrow on SINA will be arbitraged back to 40 or up to 45... there is still a partial gap open on SINA near 47! I got lots of options expiry plays on this...

    Snow comments?

    Everyone in Chicago wants to move..... but they substitute taking winter vacations to warm locales and/or become snowbirds in place. As for me, I have been looking seriously at buying a place in a better climate. Even thought about moving to the islands for a while when metooxx was in GB...

    This is intolerable

    frankly.... if these newbie gamblers are too ignorant to know that trading off the floor intra-day is not an easy gig... than f** them! :p There is a trade off between not taking overnight risk and positions home, and pulling a slot machine lever all day. I say a hybrid of both methods works...

    The Most Annoying Thing About Trading

    I think given the tone of today's market... that you either take smaller profits on longs, or else don't even enter until the market sentiment turns positive ala trin/tick etc. If I entered long at 1503 I would still be in. But like I said I did few futures trades so far this year. ICe :cool:

    The Most Annoying Thing About Trading

    trying to figure how you could be out of the 1503 long already.... has the NQ even gotten bleow 1503 since your original entry? I don't many futures but if I had entered at 1503, why get out yet? I don't see the "pressure" that got you out! You asked for comments, so mine is.. be more...
