Yes, as I mentioned, I too always imagined the big boys were exiting. However, assumption being the mother of all FUs, I just wanted to check around for alternative views, which PP is kindly offering. regards f9

Many thanks PP. You mentioned earlier "their activity is distinguishable from the program trades" In what text did you mean this? regards f9

Thanks PP. Do you mind expanding on this. regards f9

It is your towering intellect H. Always on the warpath for fresh challenges. regards f9

Here is something to ponder on over lunch. It concerns the ES on any typical day. Today for example, it opened down then spent the first half of the morning climbing and the second half drifting around. As it was climbing this morning making new daily highs you could see from time to time...

Busy little thing arent you H. It left me quite exhausted just reading your post. regards f9

From time to time my ET screen becomes over sized so that the message is too wide for my screen. I have tried the size buttons in top RH corner to no avail. Any bright ideas what be greatly appreciated regards f9

For years my hammer did not work correctly, it was always in the workshop being repaired. The head was replaced numerous times and I lost count of the new wooden handles that I paid for. Despite all this, the bloody thing would just not work correctly. One day a seasoned experienced...

nothing much gets past you does it. regards f9

incorrect reasoning. There you have the heart of the problem in a nutshell. regards f9

Misconceptions 1 and 2 are of no interest to me, however misconception 3 does take my interest. Trading is difficult until you make it easy for yourself ... a somewhat solitary pursuit but very rewarding and this is what lies at the very essence of good continuous profitable trading. Yes...

Hola Open, You have suddenly reminded me that I do have an edge. Namely, I do not waste my time on fools. Àdiòs Open. regards f9

Hola Open, You will need to do a great deal better than that. A little attention to detail and a small hint of original thinking would`nt go astray. regards f9

TM, That is common sense. Where is the edge in that. Why on earth would you go to all the trouble of developing a profitable system and then not apply it correctly. And then, just to compound woolly thinking, a trader says "I have an edge" when he applies his system correctly. Who cares...

gracias nealvan, You are highly entertaining. regards f9

henry76, It is a bit of a circle really. The more I remove from my trading the less inclined I become to discuss it. Occasionally I burst into print as the mood takes, mainly I think because I have created so much time. No record keeping, no research, no trading for more than 100 minutes...

e34, You are too complicated for my flavour, I am but a simple man. What you describe as "an edge" and the accompanying example is common sense to me. "edge" is just a word which has been given an extended meaning of late. In a few years it will have passed on and hopefully I will still be...

I wholeheartedly agree with you h76 this is an individual pursuit.. I watch people huddle together here on the ET trading threads in the hope that the crumbs of knowledge that fall will somehow turn them into profitable traders. It never occurs to them that this very act of pooling...

Have I got this right nealvan. A smaller government means that people will look after their own health. Are you saying that on average the US citizens are healthier than the UK citizens regards f9

Great pity. Before you throw money into the winds why not start a thread here, along the lines. "what steps should I be taking to teach myself to trade e-minis" You will receive plenty of input. Believe me. regards f9
