IMO a pretty nice setup is a 27" iMac retina (5120x2880 resolution). Awesome screen and a simple vmware fusion install has you running windows 7.x, 8.x, whatever without issues or significant slowdown. CPU specs are beyond what anyone needs for trading (which isn't really *that* resource...

It wasn't just one 150 tick spike though. Seems like it topped out around 50 mins after the initial move. Traders who tried to fade got punked out atleast twice (assuming typical stops). My recommendation is to look at the employment cost index and what it represents. It's a measurement of...

Why would I uae wealthfront when I can just use Vanguard directly?

I wonder what it would be like to trade on LSD. Talk about getting "inside the bar." The most I've done (while trading) is have a few beers and even that's not the best idea.

Yes, although the one thing I do like about the futures is actually having access to volume. I do trade 6E, 6J, 6B, and sometimes 6A and DX. I think EURUSD futures offer good liquidity.

Either/or. The issue I find for me atleast is its difficult to get a trade on without getting shaken out multiple times. I find that GC is a market that takes advantage of smaller traders on a consistent basis more often than not. There's some improvements I can make for sure but I find my read...

I'd say "L2" is close to useless in equities. It's still useful in futures to an extent (depends on the instrument) but you have to learn what's real and what isn't.

Why not just trade DX? It's been around for years.

Doin' great! Economy back on track! Go USA! Also: "Stock-index futures rallied after the report."

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-07-31/worker-pay-in-u-s-rises-0-2-smallest-gain-in-records-to-1982 Wages and salaries in the U.S. rose in the second quarter at the slowest pace on record, dashing projections that an improving labor market would boost pay. The 0.2 percent advance...

Absolutely. But an underlying issue here is that what might look like a proper opportunity in one instrument might be *more* of a proper opportunity if the instrument were different due to the way it trades. Now with regards to the OPs original question, according to FF, there were two releases...

Aside from the fact that one cannot judge "market tone" without knowing the overall sentiment, there's always this site: http://www.chartgame.com

Just stay flat man. :D

IB has confirmed that they can replicate stop orders not working right with ICS positions and have said they'll ask the devs about it.

Trimmings being what, exactly?

I also had a bad week man. You're not alone. A lot of switch ups and headfucks going on even on seemingly normal trades.

Yes if McDonalds could just bring back those cherry pies (cue the Warrant) and McRibs everything would be solved.

If you're just doing multi day swings then just about any broker would do. Most here, including me, will default to IB, but even TDA or eTrade would be fine for swings.

Nah I've seen this before (famous last words). Nasdaq and ES start looking all sad and then through it Russell outperforms them for a week straight. If it were just TF doing less bad I wouldn't expect such a descrepancy as NQ down .25% and TF up .66% - particularly now that the wild animals have...

Looks like money is flowing from larger caps to smaller caps. Check out Russell, he so smooth.
