Was scheduled 4 weeks ago for Friday Aug 3rd..... but hardly any responses.

Prop futures has been discussed so much in the past.....isn't it apparent the prop firms don't promote futures because they can make so much more $$$ pushing stocks ? Especially with all of the discount retail futures firms now....and the low intraday margins.....the props really can't compete...

Typical. This is the same bozo government agency that allowed the CME/CBOT merger without concern for monopoly pricing....and less competition. They just keep trying to justify their existence (and salaries !).

The big question is: WHEN WILL THEY SING !??? ("it ain't over till the fat lady(ies) sing.") That's when we'll get the bounce.

I don't "get it" either. This position has a capped profit on the downside. Maybe what he is saying that once these positions get into their max profit and then the market starts to go against them ("fat lady sings" ?), they will be unwound with the short stock being covered and the maybe the...

On this forum about 2 months ago, there was a big discussion over running realtime trading apps in general, especially under Windows. I run a Java trading app under Windows 2000 and it really screams. One of the secrets is to optimize the priorities of all running applications and processes...

Anybody home ? (or is everyone on vacation ?)

Let's not forget MASSIVE GOVERNMENT as a likely cause as well. Last GDP increase all due to gov't spending. When the economy slows (now likely), the deficit will balloon, raising interest rates as govt will "crowd - out" the private sector in it's quest to stay afloat.

OMIGOSH - Stevie Cohen MOVE OVER !

Guys (and girls): August 3rd is fast approaching.....it's THIS FRIDAY. Since the market's are rockin, everyone should have a great week. Who's coming ? (Rock Lobster, remember ?) (Surf's buying the rounds since he's mombo short YM futures....right Surf ?)

You'll need an API in the form of a DLL or ActiveX component to interface to the broker's order entry process.

Guys - look at the charts back in the fall of 1998...and this market is playing-out very similarly (and the panic is the same as well as the economic "event") Back then, one day into the swoon, I placed orders for SPX puts, NDX puts, and IIX (internet) puts. I was only filled on the IIX puts as...

You either didn't read my post or you don't know your trade performance measures: I asked about what is the ratio of the AVERAGE WINNING TRADE to AVERAGE LOSING TRADE. That has NOTHING TO DO with %win / %loss.

Anyone else having them ? Just wondering if one of the wholesale data feeds is problematic. Note: Bad day for this to occur.

Is that you Dad ? ("Moo" was my dad's nickname !!!) Nice work.

A the current rate of descent, the Russell 2000 is targeting for ZERO by year-end. Do they sell puts with a zero strike ?

High win-rate systems ALWAYS have small avg win trade amt vs. huge losing trade amt. It's like a law of physics. Systems with 40-50% win-rates usually have a 3:1 and sometimes a 4:1 avg win/avg loss trade ratio. Wonder what ratio this system is averaging ?

duh....this is so obvious: GET A GIRLFRIEND !!! (or two)

And he lost HALF of his YTD net profit in ONE TRADING DAY ?
