This is precisely why you should go with the fund for a long term holding. You don't want the temptation just to dump SPY, as there will ALWAYS be crisis moments.

1. Is your trading discretionary? If yes, then give it up. You aren't suddenly going to find the light overnight. 2. Are you trading a system, and is the system profitable sans your mistakes? If yes, then scale way back on position size until you get get your head together and manage...

Don, did you see any increase in downside volatility after the uptick rule was removed last year? Were intraday short trades becoming more profitable without the cushion of an uptick rule? And what's your sense of how this new ruling might impact short strategies if it is broadened to more...

Isn't it great? All I had to do was give Mr. Bailey my savings account number and my social security number to prove who I was. And by tomorrow afternoon he says I'll have the 63 million pounds in my account. Really amazing. My wife is upset at me for sharing that information. But...

That's what this email tells me. (Check out the line regarding the need for 'secrecy'. LOL.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ AWARD FINAL NOTIFICATION. We are pleased to inform you the released results of the EUROMILLION SWEEPSTÁKE LOTTERY PROGRAMS...

This is Washington insiders covering their ass for THEIR mistakes at OUR expense as taxpayers. There is no accountability, anywhere. 2010 Deficit 10 Trillion Dollars? Who cares. They've padded their futures, and Bush will be back in west Texas fishing.

I've had a Trading Computers' 3-monitor setup for 3 years, and recommend them. Great support for setting up, software, etc., and I've had no hardware problems at all. Regarding how many monitors you'll want, that all depends on your software and how you have it set up. Only you can answer...

An impressive trade! Down 90% overnight. Always a good idea to buy puts on one of the country's strongest companies just before earnings. Duh. Can't wait for your next trick. :confused:

Take the long term view and don't get shaken out of your position. Good luck.

Really, you must be kidding. You're new at this and trading 100 contracts? If this isn't in jest, you must have a death wish. I find trading the ER2 to be a lot more rewarding than the ES. But you won't be able to easily scalp 100 cars.

Excellent and interesting chart. Thanks for posting.

AMT, how have you been? Still averaging down like crazy? Just to keep this thread in a betting mode, I went long the ER2 at the close today. I'm looking for just a few points overnight, and hoping that nobody shoots at the Iranians before noon tomorrow. :eek: Anything can happen and...

CAUTION: Profits in the rearview mirror are smaller than they appear.

Yep, that's what I'm thinking too, as I trade mostly the short side. Tomorrow is likely to be an aberration.

Interesting day tomorrow. On one hand we have continued weakness in the indexes which would play to shorts. Which is where I've been hanging out. On the other hand, with such recent weakness in many stocks, institutions may decide to go long at the start of the quarter with the hope...

That because the basis of your question - "...successful traders usually advocate a reward-to-risk where the reward is several times the risk - isn't necessarily true. Where did you come up with that one? I trade a very nice system that's 1:1 with a 65% win ratio. Others on this same...
