There's an old saying that would be good for you to remember. "The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent."

A quick glance through this degrading and sophomoric thread confirms the truth of what women say about men. Which is: "Men are assholes".

Response to my concerns about TF spreads: Sent: Friday, October 03, 2008 3:10 PM Subject: RE: Spreads on Russell emini Mr. _______; I'm sorry that you've been disappointed with the markets in mini Russell 2000 (TF) since the contract moved exclusively to ICE on Sep 19. I'm looking at...

IMO, it sucks. I seldom saw ER spreading to two ticks in a "normal" environment. TF does it regularly, which is a significant issue. ER was a great trading instrument. By now TF should be showing increasing volume and tighter spreads, but it isn't. For 3 days now I've entered TF only...

This site is a great resource if for no other reason than there's probably not a single area of trading that hasn't been discussed over the past few years...and is available under the search function. Sure, there's a lot of waste, and conversing with newbies and idiots can sometimes be...

Regarding a transaction tax... I'm of the opinion that the gov't should be paying US for trading through all the crap they've created with this market. Yes, a tax on the U.S. Government to be paid out to all traders who are continuing to create liquidity. Our rallying cry: "LIQUIDITY...

And Buy & Hold is what? An excuse for brokers and financial advisors not to ever be held accountable for their recommendations. The lesson here for ANY strategy is to follow your OWN guidance and not be led around by someone else. So what else is new?

Like trading ranges? Then you should love George Bush. The DOW is now below where it was when he took office. Buy & Hold has gone nowhere. But you should have done well. :p

This is NOT a good time to trade TF, especially if you are new to the instrument. Low volumes with the recent movement to ICE and extreme volatility will get your head handed to you. Wait until things settle down. As an example, I entered a market order to close a profitable short this...

Pity us, the poor Russell 2000 traders. ER2 was a wonderful trading vehicle. Fabulous intraday moves, easily tracked. Then the contract changes exchanges, just when record volatility hits all indexes. And the contract turns to a hellish monster. Massive moves in seconds/minutes...

McCain is a bitter old fart. During his entire 90 minutes on stage, I did not see him once look at Obama, despite Obama's efforts to personally engage him. McCain HATES to be challenged. Not a good sign in somebody who may have his finger on the trigger.

No. Your post makes no sense whatsoever. You're wandering in the dark. (MACD, Multiple TimeFrames, Multiple Instruments? You mentioned backtested results but you can't backtest? And what the heck does this sentence mean: "This would probably be in a scalping sense, however, it seems...

Each instrument (stock, index, future, currency, etc.) and each market has its own "personality". A search for a unified approach will lead you down blind alleys and isn't a good use of your time if you're just starting out. However, in every case, simple is best. There are only three...

Circlejerk. The best description I've heard yet.

First, 9:40 was more of a break DOWN than a break out. Trading is always easy looking at charts in hindsight. (Just ask anyone who has written a book on trading.) Your question is the same as asking "How will I know when the market will rally ahead of time." That you will never know...

We haven't seen the lows yet. The coming spike in unemployment will get us there, and will finally reveal how weak the economy really is. We'll have a washout to 9000 on the DOW (if we're lucky), then a very slow slog back. So keep your powder dry, IMHO. You'll have plenty of...

That would be fine. That's where the markets should be. And, IMHO, if the Joe public suffers for it, then tough shit. Because Joe public put Bush and his appointees back in the White House 4 years ago. Instead we now have a socialist government-managed market, managed by the baffoons who...
