Green area is a bounce off zone that I've had on the charts for a week or so (amusingly it's in the 11,*eight* area). If this retraces beyond 61.8% I'll be surprised.

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-07-05/china-blames-rout-on-short-sellers-who-bought-as-stocks-tumbled So much choice stuff in this article, but here's one from the Department of Unintentional Short Sellers: "After markets closed, China’s financial futures exchange made it more...

Some tips for this thing that I've noticed while trading it (but consider that I'm using constant volume charts): Cup and handle like formations all over the place... although I commonly see the handle hit a 61.8% retrace rather than 50%. They're not always perfect, but trace highs to highs or...

Thank you kind sir. Maverick and others are more experienced than I in options trading. I'm just a lowly futures trader who sometimes sells index options ATM and hedges with the underlying. I try to control my risk by being on the right side of gamma and not cranking up the OTM leverage.

There's a lot of mysticism out there surrounding futures when they're brain dead simple. You go long or short and that's about it. Margin requirements vary by contract, but are typically quite liberal. There are some per-contract delta differences between ES and SPX, but it's just a matter of...

Why not just use ES futures as a hedge rather than continually rolling out down and up etc. You have a PM account and aside from that ES futures require about 1/20th the margin of an outright position.

No, that's not what I'm saying. I'm simply saying almost everything Goldman gets involved with turns to shit in other's hands - by design.

No, they don't. They trade on EUREX. If there were some implied contract on CME it wouldn't be accurate to follow IMO. Anyway, this is as I expected, pricing based off of CFD trades and not necessarily based off of futures. The investing.com page says: "23:35:06 - Real-time CFD Data. Currency...

I've seen a similar type of thing last week with people mentioning the DAX being down. Stupid question here: if DAX futures aren't even open for trading for atleast 7 hours from now, where are they deriving this 4% decline from?

"Draghi was then vice chairman and managing director of Goldman Sachs International and a member of the firm-wide management committee (2002–2005).[8]" "Concerns were also expressed during the candidacy about Draghi's past employment at Goldman Sachs.[8][26] Pascal Canfin (MEP) asserted Draghi...

I'm just saying its a generic way of hooking syscalls at a low level. It's not necessarily nefarious or even that extreme. If you have a piece of code you didnt write and you have no interface to it but you know hooking a particular syscall or library call will allow you to solve the problem...

Just because something was generically flagged as suspicious doesn't necessarily mean its being used in a black hat fashion. Maybe there's a legitimate need for DLL injection based on all the different platforms supported without first class ability to hook in to things via a documented API...

Hah so your idea of an efficient market is one that is constantly trending up and down vs mine which implies a form of stasis with trends inbetween. Obviously we can play games with the zoom dial and argue perspective based on timeframe but reality shows periods of consolidation, sometimes of...

Must be some good peyote.

So take advantage of it.

Trading chop requires knowing where chop is going to be ahead of time - which means volume profile or similar. At that point you're merely recognizing chop and really trading the edges via range trading. Trading within chop itself would be limited to scalp moves only based on where others think...

Oversold? It's incredibly overbought. Oversold would be like -70% since June. China is going to do anything to avoid losing face on this massive bubble.

Definitely false. In fact if something is priced fairly and a market is operating efficiently it should be expected to range until external factors either change things, buyers or sellers significantly alter their expectations, or something else happens. It's just that the latter 3 happen quite...

Faster/lower footprint, better volume/market profile studies/functionality, better custom study approach (NT tends to use indicators for everything and it's clunky), great chart trading with DOM (all levels, unlike NT which stops at 5) and price levels right on the chart, solid data-feeds...
