What's that about the YM being far superior to ES for intraday trading? You'll find that drivel scattered about this forum in various threads. No problem with quotes here in ES at all, as usual. Just another day of seamless execution on the CME side

<i>"Wow 10 year at 5%. Faber predicting the Dow going below 12,000 on a colossal recession. Anyone want to go out on a limb and predict that the sun will come out tomorrow?"</i> I predict the Dolphins will lose at least four games this season. No way they go 13-3... you heard it here first

<i>"and yet 99% are bearish and fighting the trend and the only guy who's got it right is hated..lol!..You just can't make this shit up I tell you..."</i> What makes you think everyone was shorting today? Did it occur to you that day traders were buying the dips (as charts clearly dictated)...

<i>"I don't think so, but I was frantically searching for something bullish to post..."</i> Why, that's easy enough, makloda. Just look at any commodity chart related to food or energy futures and you'll see raging bull markets in early stages of ascent. Oil, grains and gold are just getting...

<i>"But this is demonstrable nonsense. Yes, there have been media autopsies of the few notable subprime lenders who have gone belly up. More are certainly in the wings. But what makes this a systemic problem?"</i> Good question... please direct that squarely towards Bernanke and minions. Why...

<i>"Cincy may have the worst defense in the history of the NFL."</i> We'll trade you Cinn defense for Miami's offense. Straight up, don't have to throw any 1st round draft picks our way, either.

<i>"Price, all else lags."</i> The six sentiment studies OP listed are of zero use to me. That said, knowing how to read the so-called "lag" is where easy money is made. Learn to use lagging indicators correctly = enjoy clusters of low hanging fruit right in front of your face, forever...

<i>"whoa, man. this is a good thread, no haters here yet, just strong opinions."</i> Excellent point, surf. Everyone here has exchanged differing opinions in mature, respectful manner. The direction of topic may have veered, but is still material to the subject of thread. * There are...

<i>"No. You would be laughed out of the investment office if this is your concept of definitive proof. Why don't you work on overcoming the multi-decade published studies on dozens of indicators using many different parameters performed by dozens of entities. These have withstood far more...

<i>"Quote from Duref Mudgins: ...This thread is now open to be trashed. Have at it with gutso gusto!"</i> No disrespect meant or caused. You are one of my favorite (cast of) characters here in ET. If I had your gift of prose, it'd long ago be my choice of profession, rather than slugging...

<i>"Funny, I didn't see you offering a valid book. And you still did not understand. I offered Amazon as a place where people can find good prices and customer reviews of books they might be interested in. "</i> I didn't offer a valid book suggestion on teaching someone the inner workings...

<i>"Or someone who jumps into an ET interview, doesn't bother reading the posts carefully, and mistates a lot of things so they can grumble and act as if they are more intelligent."</i> I read every word. Winnowing down the endless drivel, you pretty much state TA is worthless, books contain...

<i>"Books are an excellent way to get grounded in the fundamentals of trading.... <snip> <b>I do not recommend any particular books outside the ones recommended by others.</b> I would recommend sticking with the highly rated ones. I have read the Market Wizards and Fundamental Analysis &...

<i>"in all honesty, I think he would be financially liable for posting fraudulent gains/losses if we took him in front of a judge. blackguard"</i> Liable for what damages? What financial hardship = loss have you personally suffered as a direct result of MBA (or anyone's) posting in here...

<i>"If I may, I would like to ask you all to do me a small favor. In the future, if you should see me go off on a posting binge during RTH as I have done today in this thread, would you kindly tell me to STFU! Please."</i> I peeked in here a few times while either waiting for confirmed...

<i>"I never attended a trading seminar of any kind. I have bought and read about 120 books on trading and the markets over the last 14 years, none of which was written by Larry. Most of them were worthless, anyway..."</i> I've read +/- that many books, attended several seminars, two of which...

Popular consensus by numbers bandied about in our profession state 95% of traders lose money. On it's face that means 5% of those who enter at any $$ amount won't show in the standings. Reality is, traders with $1mil or greater are probably (not necessarily) inside that 5% percentile of...

<i>"What is it about contests that bring out the ugly in traders?"</i> I was wondering the same thing. It's no big deal... just a new contest to play or pass on. What's all the fuss about?

<i>"Some operator from Australia performed 855% on 1000$ in one month by fxcm.com Can play without capital by marketzar.com"</i> ssss, with all due respect, you have posted this same historical performance crap all the time in different threads. I had a several months in option trading that...

<i>"guys like p.logic simply don't belong here---"</i> Well, I don't know who he is, but at least the man talks trading inside a trader's forum. It's "journalists" like Mikey Covel who don't merit one byte of ink in this forum. Surf, you are a genuinely nice guy and interesting personality...
