I'm halfway through chapter 3, and it is pretty intersting. It's the very first trading book I've seen that is a text book.

Just did a search, and ET said "All times are GMT. The time now is 01:34 AM." It was about 8:42 PM EDT. EDT is GMT-4 so it was about 12:34 AM GMT. Of course, EST is GMT-5. But most of the planet is on daylight savings time (hence my comparision of EDT not EST). And 8:42 PM EDT is exactly...

Any updates on this?

Don't worry about the liquidity in ES, it's way more than you'll need for now. You can easily dump a couple hundred contracts during the normal trading day with no measurable price problems. And, 200 contracts is 10,000 times the S&P. NQ is less liquid, but way more than you need with a 5k...

Well that's the rub, see? If the price was the same all the time, then there'd be no sense trading it, right? How could you make any money on it if it didn't change in price? Now futures trading (which is what one does when one buys and sells the Eminis) is mighty risky business. You have...

"I bumped into Gerald Ford the other day. I said, 'Pardon me.' He said, 'I don't do that anymore.'" Bob Hope Rest in peace, Mr. Hope. :(

I just got one as well. It's even got a quote from Maria on the jacket :D. Looks nice though.

I'm pretty surprised nobody posted this idea already. Option 1 includes this: "trading is easy and is the best career in the world." Those two concepts (easy and best) do not go together. The best career for one is not the easiest. Good grief. You gotta have some challenge, something to...

You can get 21" CRTs that run at decent rez. My old and decrepit KDS Avitrons can run 2k (that's 2048 to you youngens) by 1536. I don't run that rez, on account of how my eyes are too worn out from countin' money. :D :D :D

Keep us posted. It'd make my day to learn that everybody got their money back and these losers got to be Bubba's girlfriend in lockup for a decade or two.

That's the point. She thinks somebody else will just give her money to trade with. Too funny for words. :D :D :D

Also says it on the label on back of the monitor, if you tossed your boxes.

ES was intro'd mid to late `97, as I recall. The big one was already around.

Thanks Vega.

Just heard a rumor that the Manhattan and Brooklyn bridges have been closed.

Memory? Did you keep the same RAM when you swapped everything around?

Man, I've been there. A few years ago, I was in a fee-based chat room, led by Ken Cayotee (not his real name). He'd make a trade, I'd follow and get creamed, every stinkin time! The first time, OK. The second, well I'm still learning. The third, I shoulda known better. After the fourth...

Bubbles in the birth rate.

I'd just like to point out that over 30% in 5 days is about 5.5% per day (compounded daily). Starting at 2k and trading at that rate (not counting taxes) produces a tidy account size of $1,527,222,391.91 after 254 days of full time trading. Of course, that assumes one can scale up to some...

It's clear there are still plenty of jobs available for folks who really know technology. :D :D :D I'm running a P4 on an 850E mainboard with three PCI Matrox G450s and one AGP GeForce4 4600. No problems at all. The only place I have heard this rumor is here on ET, where it continues to...
