    Man texts, "I need to quit texting," before driving off cliff

    Two kids who were about to be seniors at my local high school just died on Monday. Their suv ran into the back of a flatbed which was stopped on the freeway due to heavy traffic. From the looks of the pictures they were close to full speed at the time of impact. Two others were in the car...

    Is the market really choppy this last week or so, or is it just me?

    Quite the generalization. I've never traded anything but equities, and I'm putting together a fairly decent summer. It depends on how you trade. To each his own.

    Is the market really choppy this last week or so, or is it just me?

    Well, for what it's worth, I just talked to the support guys at Echo, and they said many are struggling, but quite a few have adapted and are doing very well. I can personally say that my green day is getting greener by doing the rapid fire crap which I don't like to do. As they say...

    Is the market really choppy this last week or so, or is it just me?

    How's today going? I'm green but the numbers are stupidly small. I'd be having a great week if I just took 10 or 15 cents as soon I saw it. Maybe that's just how August needs to be. Like i said, I hate trading that way, but oh well.

    Chicago: Deadliest Global City

    http://marquettetribune.org/2012/02/14/news/concealed-carry-prevents-more-crime-than-it-creates-study-says/ I was pulled over last July doing a modest 78 in a 55 in rural Cheeseland, and when all was said and done, I asked the cop what he thought of the whole conceal and carry law which was...

    Chicago: Deadliest Global City

    The only state where concealed carry isn't allowed. But if it was passed, I'm sure they'd make sure it wasn't allowed in the big city.

    Anyone hear of Main Street Trading Company?

    As a matter of fact, one of my buddies students used to work at a pizza place, so he said he would manage it. Hell, why not.

    Anyone hear of Main Street Trading Company?

    Hey, I didn't say it was a bad thing. There is a pizza place here in my little Wisconsin town which has one restaurant, and they have put many area franchises out of business. They do great I just question the decision to start a school, or any type of trading class if you are making good...

    Anyone hear of Main Street Trading Company?

    Yes, it looks very basic. And all of the resumes look very sketchy, at best. A CAIA? Seriously? When our group's last API died, one guy decided to start a small school for traders to raise capital and stay afloat. Long story short, I hadn't talked to him for months until a few days ago...

    Evening markets: Cargill breaks cover, deflating corn price.

    I don't get it. Corn has a daily range of 3 - 4 %. And they're saying the CEO had a big impact, and moved the price a whopping 1.5 %? It'll move that much in an hour on no news.

    Is the market really choppy this last week or so, or is it just me?

    I'm also automated. I got the .02, and seriously thought about overriding the API and taking my 5 cents and shutting down, just because the same damn thing happened to me all day. And most of yesterday. But if I had done that all month, I wouldn't be able to say I had a good July. But here...

    Is the market really choppy this last week or so, or is it just me?

    ADM is a good example. It starts a one penny consolidation at 15:25 which lasts for 12 or 13 minutes. It finally breaks so I'm short. It initially looks like a good trade on a continuation of a really weak high volume stock. But, of course, it reverses and rips through the upper...

    HFT does NOT provide liquidity at open

    Slippage killed our last API. And most of our guys are co-lo. I still use the same interface, but it's subjective selection, and then fire and forget kind of stuff. Such a nasty world. :cool:

    HFT does NOT provide liquidity at open

    Should be obvious, could be obvious, would be obvious. But not to some. I have done a complete 180 in the last year. I used to love the open. Now my first trade is usually at least 15 minutes after the bell. The downside is that I have to sit here all damn day again. Oh well. Ya gotta...

    Which motorcycle?

    Holy crap. These are the reasons I never got a road bike in the first place. I grew up riding dirt bikes, and was use to taking big jumps, and intentionally kicking it sideways to get around a turn faster. (Not to mention riding the occasional wheelie to impress the neighbor girl. Didn't...

    Masked gunman opens fire at theater during Batman screening, killing 14, injuring 50

    Some of the media on both sides of the isle are already making it political. It's disgusting. Right hand column: http://www.drudgereport.com/ And they wonder why people are tired of politics.

    My wife just rolled out her second novel

    I can't imagine the amount of work and imagination which goes into a project like that. It has to be a hell of a lot harder than "7 simple ways to scalp stocks", or whatever it was I saw the other day. Not sure about my daughter, but I think my mom would like it. Maybe they both will, who...
