My conclusion is that: a) volatility can be mapped very precisely to a mathematical equation. As the number of samples increases, the distribution continues to approximate an almost perfect mathematical curve which I have not yet calculated. b) volatility has increased as ES prices have...

A black man asks his wife to get a halloween costume for him before halloween. After he gets home from work, he notices a superman outfit on the bed. Furious, he goes to his wife and tells her, "Superman wasn't black! I can't be Superman! Get me another costume!" So the wife, somewhat...

I am trading with a specially modified version of TWS that works on my Atari 2600. I use the joystick for order-entry and the fire button to execute orders. It has worked great so far. PM me for the ROM. You should be able to get a good Atari 2600 simulator so you can use it on your PC.

You are using a straight linear approximation. If you take the second derivative of the rate of my posting, since it is a declining exponential curve, you will see that I won't ever surpass Don Bright. In fact, I have a shut-off valve if I come within 200 posts of Don. I would not want to...

How about the day when I kick your ass? You better mark that on your calendar and be sure you are out of the market when I come knocking.

I see yet another voting poll has been opened in my honor. :cool: Now I'm sure my mother, father, uncle and aunt will be posting about me shortly. Then someone will register names like "Aphie's Ex-girlfriend" or "Aphie's Neighbor" so that they can post their insightful comments...

It will go up and down and up and down and up and down. How much of each and when is anyone's guess. Trade what you see :cool:

True. Once the SEC rule kicks in and after realizing I wasn't really following any plan with futures trading, I guess I figured I could make some back with those IBM options. I went against the trend totally -- had I purchased calls instead of puts, I'd have doubled whatever money I put into...

Just idiots having fun with my picture. Gordon, you live?? Have you been trading lately?

This is now getting too funny because I almost choked to death reading this!! LOL

A reduction in the spread would be awesome. While they are at it, why not knock the NQ down to .25 so I can lose 1/2 as much twice as fast.

One day, when technology advances and every country and their neighbor has easy access to nukes, biological warfare and god knows what else, we will be faced with this game but the stakes will be much higher. What would happen if they found a 100 kiloton nuclear bomb in a coke machine at...

I'm getting a lot out of my system. I've been to the salad bar and bought a little of this and a little of that with no real plan. I guess the glamour of being able to trade anything was alluring me to dabble in a little of this and a little of that. I've gotten a lot of great PM's...

Who is shorting CALLS and buying PUTS on me?!?! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

I guarantee you that 70% of Americans don't even know why there is currently a conflict between Russia and Chechnia. 80%+ Americans couldn't even locate Chechnia on a map without some serious searching. 90% or more of Americans could probably care less about the entire situation except for...

Def, I really must say that this is just BS. I don't care if you are George Soros or the options expert of the world, every one of us starts somewhere in this game. To say that somebody doesn't stand a chance because of lack of experience is sort of a catch 22, isn't it? In order to...

Right, and was I being cruel to anyone by throwing in a bunch of "your relationship with your mom must have been bad" bullshit? No! Granted, I talked a lot -- so its out of my system now. I'm trading. Cut me some slack.
