    A list of all scam unregulated 3rd party educational vendors

    Amen, brother. Everybody demands a simple cash machine that doesn't require much effort and that works forever. Oh, and all that any client really needs is the entry signal, because nothing else really matters. Never mind what is behind the mechanics of the entry signal. And signal...

    We need to start building again.

    Umm, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid and Barack Obama shoved a $900B 'shovel ready' construction & building 'stimulus program' down our throats three years ago, Yes ?

    Scanners - Anyone using/used MadScan??

    The reason I use ScanExpert is because that particular package will allow you to run a custom study expression over several different timeframes simultaneously on the same instrument symbol, and in my case the symbol expression will certainly be a spread combination.

    Do not post please, It is Only For Me

    Personally, ten years ago I used to trade 400K Liffe and Eurex RTs per month. Not so any more. These days I find myself stepping away from the turbulence and taking trades more along the lines of a 'swing' - ultimately, the holding timeframes are dictated by the volatility of the traded...

    looking to start trading futures

    ES is by far the safest one of those. Copper and #11 Sugar on ICE are very thin and best spread traded in terms of risk management. Oil is an adult swim but manageable in terms of liquidity. Silver (and Copper and Sugar for that matter) are no place for you to be - the market moves and...

    First time on a Simulator

    Possibly SIM trade like that, and then post it. Your OP initial post wasn't realistic all things considered. The other piece is that the initial performance bond margin for ES is $5625 per contract and your FCM will likely pad that or fudge it in terms of what they allow you to trade. FWIW...

    Heaven is a fairy tale, says physicist Hawking

    Never said there was - the atheists are making that very point based upon the musings of one famous physicist with a very severe and debilitating case of ALS. A point that neither atheist nor religious zeolot can prove unless one of them dies and then wants to profer an opinion. I...

    Heaven is a fairy tale, says physicist Hawking

    Jews believe in a divinity. Don't leave them out. The last thing you want to do when you are making hypocritical value statements under the guise of progressive enlightenment is leave someone out.

    The biggest thing is getting the guys to wait on the Cattle fill BEFORE getting the Corn fill. Leg risk.

    Heaven is a fairy tale, says physicist Hawking

    Barack Obama believes in God. He says so all the time. And we all know how smart and intellectual he is. As a matter of fact, 99% of the elected progressives in America proclaim their belief in a divinity.

    questions about grains trading

    I had some of my traders get long the Soybean July-Nov at the open this morning, and they also got long the ICE #11 Sugar July-Oct at the open on Monday. We do really well them - they trend like crazy and fit our models very well. We swing trade them for a few days up to several weeks at a...

    Heaven is a fairy tale, says physicist Hawking

    If the intention of the OP and the atheistic "anti-deity" crowd is to make a value statement that atheism implies superior intellect, then Hawking's viewpoint offers no proof - he's been wrong before on a scientific basis and he could very well be wrong about the existence of God or some sort of...

    Broker and Platform for Exchange Spreads and Options and API?

    In terms of strategy on the WTI vs Brent, if you are long premium (long WTI calls and long Brent puts for example) on both legs then fine. If your strategy envisaged some sort of credit spread (like long WTI calls and short Brent calls) then IMO you are going to get margined up the wazoo and...

    Heaven is a fairy tale, says physicist Hawking

    Hawking, like all humans, has made some mistakes in his profession - most notably the long standing paradox regarding information getting lost versus getting mangled within black holes. He was vehemently opposed to many other physicists about the nature of Black Holes, undertook a famous bet...

    IMF Rapist hurting the futures

    Well, in any event, it might be a longer term positive to rid the IMF and the international banking system of an impulsive and wreckless personality in a position of authority. BTW, alot of IMF counterparties have been complaining about getting raped for years.

    Risks to market makers

    Probably the central tenet for being a successful floor trader was always the ability to buy bids, sell offers, and make markets for floor brokers - in essence, you made your bones capturing the bid/ask spread. The speed and efficiency of the electronic markets is what has made the transition...

    Who Posts Their Trades ?

    I also posted this response to stock777's viewpoint on what he perceives to be blatant censorship by ET Moderators. IMO, Elite Trader Moderators are incredibly tolerant. From what I can determine, Threads and Posts get deleted for two primary reasons: 1. Spamming, and 2. Personal Attacks and...
