Two thoughts: 1) there is a big difference between buying the DOW alone, and {selling} the S&P-DOW spread. 2) working the spread (not so ubiquitous a US thing as overseas), step one is to make sure you've got close-to-identical notional values -- e.g., trading $5k of S&P against $5k of DOW...

That's $$$ right there. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: (Many great posts on this thread, but this piece stood out for me.)

I gave a chat last month with the lofty title of "Einstein was RIGHT! E = mC² = Time = $$$: How Technology moves Humanity Forward"... Basically, I noted the relative trade-offs made between 'energy' and what we want done, and how at each turn, every time we reduce the cost of transformation, we...

6. Others (please mention in the comment) For trend trading, it is the reversal (or at least, weakening) of the trend that takes you out. If you're fancy about it, you might have a time directive, too (like, "Take me out after 2 days if not positive...") "In with a shout, out with a whisper."...

You need to chart this out, MM: what you're saying is that it's better to buy at 10.04 than at 10.00, because, gee, the market moved. :rolleyes: FSbulldog: 8,000 years ago, I set my bid to Bit+tick, and set my ask to Ask-tick. (Except for front-month futures, which are 0-tick or 1-tick...
