I was gonna say. Sad times when you're getting financial/economic news from a hippie rag.

These posts show up periodically where someone gets terminated by their broker. I've seen some at Oanda and there was one recently from someone terminated by IB. People rail against brokers like it's "us versus them" when the fact is that brokers are enforcing SEC and exchange rules. The IB...

Damn, sounds more like "swing praying" than "swing trading" :cool:

With more unemployed people out there, wouldn't there be more people thinking of alternatives to traditional employment?

Dumb question, but you're subscribed to ES (Globex) data, right?

Lemme guess. You weren't flat going into the Fed rate announcement yesterday.

Yup, it's sad. I even wrote my own T&S app against their API. Ah, well.

Are you placing your stops based on swing highs/lows, volatility or just a fixed pip amount?

Your first post was a little ambiguous. Do you *only* take the trades where price has retraced to the 50 EMA? The first statement implies you take all short red/black crosses when price is below the 50 EMA. The second says you wait for the retracement.

In the aftermath of a mess like this, there are a lot of people feeling stupid, angry, used, duped and embarrassed. Many of the victims will even lash out at each other in their grief. What a mess when so many people had their finances and/or reputations damaged.

Whoa. Someone expressing genuine appreciation for comments made on ET? Amazing. :cool:

The traffic around DC/NOVA is absolutely horrendous. The traffic situation around Baltimore isn't as bad. As far as real estate goes, when I relocated to the area 10 years ago I immediately rules out NOVA. Way too expensive for what you go. I ended up in Maryland where I could get some...

Actually in his tradersparadise blog he always exhorted the reader to do his own research with regard to any trading idea. Dennis' ideas were a breath of fresh air for someone struggling and looking for direction. Too bad his blog was filled with non-trading political diatribes. His...
