    NFL Draft - the Browns get a STEAL

    Yeah, I think it was the smart thing to do, if nothing else for job security. As you said, we won't know for years if this was a good idea and since they got the owner's guy, kinda hard to fire the guys that pulled that off. At least, that's what I think. We might actually see the team sold...

    anyone ever experience slippage in the ES?

    Interesting theory; however, with so many people trading the ES each day, wouldn't majority rule if in fact traders wanted a change? And if traders did not like the current setup, why is it the most popular US mini? How do smaller increments 'save traders money'? Commissions are not going to...

    anyone ever experience slippage in the ES?

    Why the argument that the ES should be a .10? I've read that here before, but I like the $12.50/tick. Are you suggesting changing the ES to .10 increments, similar to when the NQ moved from .5 to .25? What's the reasoning? Obviously the ES is the most liquid and popular market, so that would...

    NFL Draft - the Browns get a STEAL

    AAA - I agree, but that's the way it is. Many said this year was make or break. Now, the Browns mgmt has: 1) Hometown QB that the owner wanted. 2) We have him now. 3) Most importantly - it will obviously take time to develop him, so how on Earth could you fire the coach and GM that got...

    ES Journal Archive (2006 - 2008)

    That is ONE way to trade, yes; however that is not the only 'key' to making money trading. There's plenty of ways to make money shorting in an up trend and vice versa.

    NFL Draft - the Browns get a STEAL

    I guess time will tell guys. I suppose all of you are Colts fans then. :D The consensus from the 'experts' is the Browns had an EXCELLENT draft and we now have our LT and QB for the next 10 years. At least that's what Kiper was saying today!! According to espn.com: Winners 1...

    SPY or ES

    I would take the ES over the SPY in a daytrading setup. The SPY may be more appropriate for longer term plays. Just depends on what you need.

    NFL Draft - the Browns get a STEAL

    He's made some appearances at training camp the last year or two. I read they were trying to reach out to alum's. Who knows... we may now have the next Bernie or better! Our 3 picks today are all top 10 talent. The 3rd pick had some 'issues' with the law, so his stock dropped quite a bit...

    NFL Draft - the Browns get a STEAL

    Wow, what a NFL draft the first round has been... my Browns actually look like they know what the hell they are doing and get the best OL and one of the best QB's all in the first round. This will prove to be an incredibly intelligent move by management or the most costly in franchise...

    How to get the best shave?

    I agree - shaving in the shower has given me the best shaves. Wait a few minutes after you have gotten your face wet, which in turns get the hair soft and an easier, cleaner shave.

    Is it worth it??

    cash - do you need the functions of Xtrader? Yes, it is the elite platform, but depending on how you plan to trade in terms of executions and strategies, those fees alone are going to eat you alive, not withstanding any normal drawdowns. Just the $650/mo is 13% per month of a $5000 account...

    Would you manage OPM without an asset management fee?

    I would set the % at least at 30%. The higher you go, the more motivated you will be and you need to explain that to the potential client(s). I would actually prefer this over a small yearly mgmt fee and a smaller % of profits.
