Chat can be useful and there are periods of time when it's naturally idle. If there's something to talk about then people can talk about it. I know during Brexit there were people talking.

And not all OI is created equal.

Such wow, amazing! I guess we should all just start doing that because there's no embedded risk whatsoever and the markets love handing out free money to those willing to get aboard such a no brainer bet?

Okay, let's try the simple thought experiment here: if support and resistance worked *all* the time then price would range *all* the time and never actually break out of it. We know that's not how markets work - ergo a given support and resistance will eventually be broken (for whatever reason)...

I think the point is that "extra" risk premium is there because there is actually real risk present. Always remember, no free money, ever.

Even if there's an incredible source of fundamental news I cannot see you, I, or the other guy knowing something that a big commercial won't already know and have priced into the market already. In the situations where they aren't it becomes a binary event based on news or crop reports etc so...

What? This is going to encourage over trading. You're thinking "minimum profit" and then stop for the day. That's backwards.

It's actually following the A50 but yes equally dead now that the govt has screwed it.

You "successfully navigated" Brexit only because ES gave you an out on the morning of 6/24 right after Brexit - so don't kid yourself.

Well that didn't take long: https://www.nfa.futures.org/basicnet/Case.aspx?entityid=0492753&case=16BCC00011&contrib=NFA http://www.valuewalk.com/2016/08/jacob-wohl/

Why are you so intent on day trading? The better setups are on higher time frames anyway. You're seeking action and it's a symptom of something that will eventually wreck you.

What they should have done was incentivize market making in FDAX. They instead hunt for fees with a mini contract that's too small.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the importance of higher time frames yet. There's always a higher timeframe somewhere.

Sounds like someone's looking to buy AMD.:D

Sierra has the ability to record market depth data these days and underlay it on the chart.

The issue here is that the crush is well known to be 10 beans, 11 meal, 9 oil - even by CME's spec (http://www.cmegroup.com/trading/agricultural/grain-and-oilseed/soybean-crush_contract_specifications.html), so why would 100% margin offset against the crush be 50 beans, 9 oil, and 11 meal? The...

Definitely not and you'd be hearing from the IRS on why one didn't file in 2017 for the 2016 gains which would usually not result in a refund. The only thing that allows for this type of back filing of losses are 1256 contracts (futures) but it wouldn't allow for one to coalesce filing of 2...

Should be easy enough for Baron to do with a simple SQL query but I took a hack route with google and a 1-200 for loop just for shits and grins: https://www.elitetrader.com/et/threads/r-i-p-don-bright.293892/

Do not start day trading and sure as hell do NOT start with day trading penny stocks. If you want to get into "trading" I highly suggest you stick to simple swing-trade based stock picking and find a mentor who knows what they're doing. Start with paper trading before anything real. Literally...

Yep, or SPI (Australia), or even Straits Taiwan on SGX, Hang Seng, etc.
