Heartless ...

I have scalped QQQ options several times. In retrospect, it would have been a lot easier to just trade the underlying. If you're going to do it, I suggest trading high delta options with tight spreads with the most current expiration month. Since most, if not all, QQQ options have tight...

Dave's friends came up to him after work one day and asked him to go out for a beer with them. Dave replied "No, I can't. My wife gets really pissed if I come home late." Dave's friend said "When you get home, just go slide beneath the sheets, pull her panties down and give her oral sex."...

Two buddies were sharing drinks while discussing their wives. "Do you and your wife ever do it doggy style?" asked the one. "Well... not exactly." his friend replied, "She's more into the trick dog aspect of it." "Oh, I see, kinky, huh?" "Well... not exactly...." "I sit up and beg...

A trout in a lake was watching a fly on a post, thinking... If the fly would only drop 6 inches, I would eat it. Little did the trout know that a bear was watching that same fly, thinking... If the fly would only drop 6 inches, the trout would eat the fly and I would eat the trout...

Are you a vagatarian?

Glad to hear about your dog making a recovery! The guy is tough and is only getting better each hour! He's on the animal equivalent of vicodin. Tell the kennel to pipe some Pink Floyd to his cage and he'll be chillin' out and cool maxin' royalty style. Hell, I'll play in the highway for...

Don't know about the SP but today in the ES, over 30 billion dollars worth of contracts were traded.

Chocolate jimmies on top and whipped cream on the sides.

I'd think they'd have to be on the floor, since only people on the floor can trade in the pit *AND* quickly call to another assistant to arb with the electronic e-minis. How is someone off the floor at their house going to trade the big boy?

You da' man! :cool:

The old "know-it-all and biased" aphie is dead. He has been replaced with a new aphie that does not question why the market is running so hard even faced against bad economic data. The old aphie held losing positions 5 times longer than winning positions. The new aphie will be satisfied...

Good question. Obviously the dynamics of backtesting can easily get very complicated. If we assume that 13 trades are successful at +15 points out of 88 trades, I assume that, during the duration of that trade, we ignore any signals that would qualify for another trade. This is where the...

What amazes me most is not how much money I have lost so far, but how little I have had to spend to learn so much about trading.

How many times is the market going to bend me over like this. Damn MSFT -- how much did you give that judge?

I called miss Cleo the other morning and asked her where ES would be 5 minutes from now and she told me that she could definately predict that but needed to put me on hold for 5 minutes. When she got back on the phone, she predicted exactly where it went! That girl is good!

Forgive me if I seem inconsiderate to those on here who got slammed, but wouldn't a sudden significant deviation in violatility, two strong red candles and increasing volume be either a signal to short or a signal to not go long? I made the same mistake with IBM. I "thought" it would go down...

Some people may not be aware -- just making sure. I have an open debit spread with an uncovered short put at the end.
