I prefer to trade breakouts or breakdowns out of the range which I did with this same contract today. But what you're saying works well at times too. Just use tight stops. Good trading to you. :)

Well what would a "win" look like? Basically maybe 4% of the insurgency is Al Qaeda. The rest of the mess is a civil war in progress between Sunnis and Shias, which we really have nothing to do with except we created the conditions for this to go down by removing Saddam. Our continued presence...

What about a basket or ETF of biotech stocks? This will be very prominent in the next 30 years. BTW remind me in 30 years when you see me lying in the gutter or going through a trash can looking for food that I should have followed my own advice. :D

Agree they'll cool their heels until after the election. They don't want to stir it up now. Maybe Kissenger will become co-sec of defense with Rumsfeld. "It's Iraq, Iraq, Iraq," White House Chief of Staff Andrew H. Card Jr. had told his replacement, Joshua B. Bolten. "Then comes the economy."

You'd think so but the market seems to ignore all these things. And the homogenized media coverage puts a positive spin on it all. Maybe 7 trillion would do it but maybe not even that. Hey it's only money. We can alway print some more. It will be paid off eventually by our children's...

I received the exact same offer. What an amazing coincidence! Did you get the money yet? I hear mine may have been lost in the mail. I'll be hearing from them soon though. :D :D :D

Interesting that ER2 tanked much more than YM in the last hour today. Totally misread this and kept pulling my shorts waiting for an expected rebound into the close. Oh, well. It seems that lots of times ER2 moves first and stronger. Stay tuned. BTW I'm just doing intraday trades now myself. As...

Good read. :)

Nice trade. Good for you. :) BTW totally misread and missed the last hour selloff. Especially on ER2. Kept holding back on my shorts. Kept thinking it was going to rebound any sec. Oh, well. As I mentioned earlier, market seems very overbought. Back on Monday. :)

Sometimes the reps there are assholes. Not everyone by any means but some really are. Sorry IB but it's true. You should work more on monitoring your customer service. I've had to deal with some big time morons/jerks. I put up with it because other than that I like the brokerage and I don't have...

I knew something was up. Now we know. :D

Thanks. :) IB has these listed at 5000. Good leverage. Thx.

Maybe my thinking was wrong or maybe I'm more advanced, but I was thinking that if I'm trading e-mini contracts I should use a mini monitor. Seemed to make sense. :D

I've been tracking these in my quotes window the last few weeks, but haven't tried trading them yet. I see the multiplier is 5000. What's the unit for that?

Well I ordered it by the foot. Isn't that the way you do it? :D

Amazingly enough I bought one of these online. It looked good but when I received it it was only 2.5" and the instructions were all in Russian or maybe it's Polish. Damn!!!!! http://monitoruj.pl/monitoring/14/ :D :D :D

Not sure about that but this market seems way overbought and ramped up partly due to end of the quarter window dressing. May likely see a pullback next week. Made some money this AM and then was away for a couple of hours. Sure is slow though, but like FullyArticulate just said, you can always...
