Here is CNBC video from this morning: http://www.cnbc.com/id/15840232?video=997978946&play=1 Who would have thought, I totally agree with Kudlow.

Interesting. I have read this in one of Gartmam Letters and thought this made sense. I do not trade oil, so never bothered to investigate it. Thanks for clarifying.

I have not read the whole thread, so this might have been mentioned. Another reason for $147 oil could have been our Government. Not many realize that we were adding huge amounts of oil during last few years to SPR. The moment we stopped, it marked the top of oil market.

I like volatility like any other day trader, but what was happening towards the end of last year was insane. Except for 1 week of January 08 during SocGen debacle I have never seen DAX before so thin and with a such high spread. I could not trade it at all and was considering making shift to...

Yep, Mark is one of those traders whose contributions to this forum were great. Unfortunately, he no longer posts.

I traded EuroStoxx a bit when I was deciding between EuroStoxx and DAX. EuroStoxx has great volume and market depth, but its moves are too small for intra day, for the way I trade.

Hi Veggen, I also enjoy reading threads that span over the years. I trade based on constant volume bars with 1 indicator – CCI. The purpose of using CCI is to help interpret price action faster. I place many trades, where most of them are wash (+/- few ticks). Then I have some large wins...

If you want something like YM during these hours, your best bet is DAX which trades on Eurex. It is similar to YM is some ways (30 blue chips in Germany), however the tick value is much great than YM (25 eur per point, min tick is 1/2 point).

I have stopped trading it during end of summer 07 when the contact was opened to main land. The spread became too wide for my risk management and depth got thinner.

Welcome to EliteTrader. For the most part 2006 and 2007 there were no major except for opening 1 hour earlier before cash. The first glimpse of what was going to come in 2008 was January 2008 during SocGen Kerviel blow up. DAX became much more volatile with a thinner book and a wider...

I think that if the books are opened, we will see such toxic assets in them that people will be shocked and realize that FED itself might be in trouble. However what choice do they have? If they do not save the system, all else does not matter. I read a thread few weeks ago, where someone...

I am glad, you all are enjoying you old cars, but there is nothing wrong with owning a great car and get a new one every 3 years. I personally really enjoy driving a new luxury car. The same logic can be applied to many other things. Why ever go to a fancy restaurant? I work hard and like...

Pabst, Can you post all your articles on the site. Regards, redduke

If you want to trade currencies, and not big enough to get access to inter bank, CME currency futures is your best bet. Also, Asian session is one of the worst to trade, almost no volatility.

I think the site has potential. Pabst is an experienced trader, and the site can become a valuable stop for traders since its content is being developed by someone who know a thing or two about markets. Plus, maybe others will participate as well, who knows. For the most part, people on ET...

I doubt that they will make all investors whole. Just too much $, plus I do not think the clients are legible. THE ROLE OF SIPC SIPC is the first line of defense in the event a brokerage firm fails owing customers cash and securities that are missing from customer accounts. Although not...

What do you think are the odds that he will just close these 2 funds, and start a new. After all, he now needs to make 100% to hit high water mark. How many years will this take? John Meriwether was able to get new investors lined up very quickly after LTCM collapse. What would be...

Just read this article. Is it not amazing, 1 bil loss is such a small occurrence these days, that it does not stir much discussion? from wsj: By SCOTT PATTERSON and GREGORY ZUCKERMAN One of Wall Street's best-regarded young traders sustained a $1 billion hit recently, as the...

When I used to trade HSI, I just asked IB to switch me over to HK farm. If one trade other markets with IB, just create one account for US or EU farms and another one for HK farm.
