    Where Have All The Traders Gone?

    I would hazard a guess that the vast majority of Prop firm trading methods are based on momentum scalping. While the daily ranges have been decent, the momentum for this kind of trading has not. They like to call it follow-thru and participation too. It is absent en masse. One member...

    Dow About to Break Out?

    Yeah that's it. Of course that is no more or less valid than what you have drawn, but it is an alternative. Regardless, now that you have made us aware, it will be fun to watch how it pans out. :)

    Keeping It Simple

    I get the humor this time... and I like it. I just don't like arrogance... never have. I prefer humility. Not pointing any fingers... I'm just sayin'!

    Best way to start trading Futures?

    Great! The hours of trading you are used to are at least 9:30-4:00 EST. The ag sector, ie., meats and grains, trade fewer hours, are less liquid, and offer greater risk. But they are not all that good for daytrading. Hands down the currencies and the index futures are the best intraday...

    Best way to start trading Futures?

    A question I would ask you first is 'what is your trading style?' By that I mean are you a scalper, swingtrader, positions? Trend, counter-trend, range, range beakout? Do you trade stox like DD which take a long time to do anything, or IBM, KLAC, and COST which move around pretty well? I...

    Dow About to Break Out?

    So if you take that same upper leg and clone it and put it on the lows you will see there is a nice channel too. But then the channel bottom has not been reached yet. :)

    "paradoxical intention is the phenomenon of whereby the more we make something a target, the more likely we are to miss it" ...doesn't leave much room for goal-setting then does it? :)

    Isn't he the one in Animal House who is the real hardcore jerk, ROTC general, Honor Council prosecutor, and administator of hazing and paddling to Kevin Bacon's rump? :)

    The market is whispering something...

    I respect your desire for peace. That is why I said a big part of me and not all of me etc. I don't want our kids going to fight. I have a 4 1/2 year old son that I cannot imagine what my life would be like without. So the idea of any other parent losing a child by whatever means is terribly...

    The market is whispering something...

    The purpose of my post there was to include something related to markets and trading as an example of how one could voice his or her political opinion and still relate it to markets and trading. Get it? Actually I have often thought that regulation of oil prices would be a good thing, and...

    Comp I share in your emotions. And a big part of me wants exactly what you want. Of course I know that you meant to include that if we take their oil, it will only be to assure that the supply is uninterrupted, thereby hopefully stabilizig prices for the industrialized nations whose economies...

    The market is whispering something...

    LOL! I have to presume you are kidding! Although I can see some problems that we have and the UK doesn't. But since the US is responsible for over 20% of the world's GDP, and since the US has the most powerful military force, and since the US is the model for democracy, and to keep it...

    The market is whispering something...

    PM me if you want then! And no one is criticizing anyone for going off-topic. Babak asked that the responses be limited to how trading and the markets are affected etc. That's fairly easy to do. Maybe you should start a thread to discuss the positives and negatives of war, put it in chit...

    Let's see... just some examples... 1- independence from British tyranny - War of Independence 2- abolition of slavery - Civil War 3- halt of genocide of Jews - WWII Are there examples where war did not work out so well? Sure... Viet Nam comes to mind. But to say that no one benefits...

    The market is whispering something...

    LOL! I'll probably step on a pop top and blow out my flip flop! Except for my dining room mishaps, Bush's efficacy, Babak's and Vinny's disagreement (although Babak did post that lovely link about friends), the bet, wmd's, etc. are fine topics... but none of them have been related to the...

    Another Very Simple Trading Strategy

    As I was driving to my office yesterday I finally "got" your name. Geez... my brilliance sometimes could illuminate the entire area beneath an overturned thimble! Big, I wanted to ask you for your opinion then about the NR/ID stuff. My understanding is that when this method goes into play...
