    anyone notice the weather

    The 10 day on weather.com is even better. What a joke. I come from a family of pilots, so basic weather knowledge is there, but i would have no idea how to predict anything. I also run the family vineyard (yes, we grow grapes in Cheeseland) so I have to pay attention to what is going on...

    HFT is Killing the EMini

    You sound like a market maker from the 90's who used to complain about the soes bandits and threaten them like some mob boss. The whining never stops.

    The worst person you've worked with

    Probably part of his crossfit workout of the day.

    The worst person you've worked with

    His name was Dan. Quite a few years ago, he sat a few seats away from me in a trading office. He never shut his mouth, and 90% of the time what came out was childish schoolyard insults toward anyone in the room just to get a laugh, which he never got. The guy was in his 40's, had a wife and...

    Question about face book

    That's actually very cool. I tried it out for a bit, and I was amazed at much I was able to fill out on my own. Will definitely share with the fam. Thanks.

    My most conservative strategy ever

    Why not sell them on covered calls? Most of the sheeple out there have been programmed into thinking it's a solid strategy, and you'll get double the fees on the exact same risk profile as a naked put.

    Did Robert Hoffman really lose 312K in a single TF trade? Yikes!

    This whole thing sadly reminds me of 1982: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1982_Thunderbirds_Indian_Springs_Diamond_Crash Mechanical failure or not, the leader flew the entire team into the ground.

    I am now. If I'm almost going to fall for that one, perhaps it's time to stop trading for the week. (Under full disclosure, I did have it half typed in the search window before realizing what a dumbass I am)

    I damn near typed it into the search window before catching myself. Never mind then.

    Sort of. OK, I'll bite. Any particular stocks / folks you're watching? I haven't been there before today, but I'm bored out of my mind so I signed up.

    Fully automated trading of equity/index options

    Yeah, that caught my eye, too. I used to run a program which got me in, but I had to get out manually. Now it's fully auto, in and out, but I would never leave it alone. I know some guys do, though. Just seems nuts to me.

    the WINE list

    I'm a tad biased since I'm a cheese head, but for an inexpensive midwestern wine, this stuff is fantastic. http://www.wollersheim.com/prairie_fume.asp Yes, the winery is in Wisconsin, lol, but the wine maker is from France and has been making wine since he was a little punk.

    Anyone here making over $100k just trading ES ?

    That's a good post. I'm surprised account size hasn't been brought up already. But why limit yourself to the ES? If you want to daytrade, wouldn't you want to trade whatever is moving? A lot of folks have moved over to the /cl. Just curious.

    China Holographic Cities - Current Techology

    I just read a fictional novel by Lincoln Child called Utopia. It was about a massive new domed amusement park which used robotics and holography in all of it's attractions. A rider would be on top of a roller coaster while looking down at a foggy london city which stretched for miles, with...

    How can a put decay if price goes down and there is more than enough time value left?

    But Chuck has a point. Know your greeks. Too many people have no clue why their long calls are decaying when the underlying is going up.

    How can a put decay if price goes down and there is more than enough time value left?

    It went ex-div today for 1.08. Since dividends are priced into options, then the options are going to behave normally as if there was no gap. And since EWZ is trending from the open, there will be plenty of theta today. Edit: "trending up from the open" Another Edit: Actually, not...
