<i>"yeah, I see your point, hey, 4 more years"</i> eight years of republican reign couldn't have run this country into the ground any faster than they did. To a vast number of voters who don't give much thought to politics, anyone fronting the elephant ticket this fall only represents...

<i>"today for 40 contracts over two hours, the market offered a trader over 40,000 dollars who had 20,000 dollars of margin with his broker."</i> Let's be real careful touting the use of straight-out daytrade margin. Anyone who trades 1 emini contract (fwiw a "car' is technically a big S&P...

<i>"Quote from Tums: I'll never forget the time a few years ago that I found T28 using a new alias on a thread. I decided to respond in his language. I wrote a bunch of nonsensical words, phrases and threw in a few SPM lingo, and voila! He replied positively. I couldn't stop laughing...

<i>"1 and 3 is way too noisy even for my ultra short term scalps which sometimes last only a few seconds."</i> Both of those charts are very clear in ES, depending on how we read them. If I had to pick just one chart for ES above all else and stake my trading career on that, 3min would be it...

<i>As years of trading went by I realized the floor pivots are no longer needed once price action analysis is applied.</i> They are helpful points of reference, equal to MP or other volume studies of any kind. None of those are any more or less important, agreed. My actual trade signal...

Today the ES opened inside of yesterday's choppy, sloppy, sideways range and rolled thru those levels into the afternoon. Once it failed at 1415 resistance, sell signals were confirmed. Once it broke 1410 ~ 1409 S1 and prior session lows, sell with both hands. Once it took out S2 with...

<i>"This isn't a bubble... commodities have been in a bull market since 1999 and will be in one for at least another decade."</i> I agree... on a long-term basis. But how do you explain a physical commodity being priced 2x front-month futures over spot price? At any moment in time, that kind...

<i>"If i were a wheat farmer, it would have been nice to spot "large specs completely out of control" and hedged my wheat 5 years out at $20 bushel"</i> At that time of the year, most physical wheat is in the hands of commercials... grain elevators or end-users. I'm sure they were all too...

When wheat futures were lock-limit at $20 bushel while the spot was less than $10, it was the most obvious tell that large specs are completely out of control. If spot prices go up 5c bushel and drive wheat-based foods up accordingly, that has an enormous trickle down effect on all of us. Any...

<i>"I guess my style is better suited to faster pace markets..."</i> If your style is better suited for straighter markets, consider the NQ. It offers the nicest directional swings of all eminis. Lets you hold stops without too much chop against, takes off directionally when committed, moves...

<i>"If you have a relatively small account, do you wait more than a decade to realistically trade for a living? Or do you decide to sell/lease/autotrade it for others?"</i> Depends. Are the paramters simple enough to be malleable, or is it too restricted = curve fit for application across...

<i>"You should be happy that people can now seek you and purchase your system (which according to your previous posts, you don't sell, but whatever)"</i> What happened to ignore? A "system" is what this thread describes: specific instructions for trade entry, trade management and trade...

<i>"Are you all talk and zero walk like you have been thru all incarnations here? Quit the multicolored, fancy-font crap and post a trade blotter in the big boys thread for once in your life. You profess to have NT... let's see it...

<i>"No wonder he [austinp] doesn't have anytime to post with us here on ET, he's too busy teaching you guys ... "</i> JimmyJam, I don't have time to post 20 times of nothing put pure bullsh*t intraday like you have already today. Your ES is moving straight up the charts without ya... too...

<i>"I wasn't the one trumpting your system, he was (are we clear on that?) ... "</i> No we aren't clear, jimmy. I do not sell systems. Never have. Go ahead and ask anyone whatever you wish... with more posts in here since Jan 08 than I have since April 06, it appears you have plenty of time...

<i>"I don't know ... "</i> I don't know either, jj. Have never sold a system in my life... on record here for years saying that mechanical systems aren't scalable to the public. While you were over in P&L 2008 thread pulling that tidbit, did you happen to tally up my two-week ER2 points...

<i>"not a big deal, humanity has always made it through its problems. bees going extinct would send food prices soaring then people will figure out other ways to produce, people will change their diets, take supplements, whatever"</i> Humanity has not "always made it thru its problems"</i>...

<i>"What exactly will make it continue to be a good investment? Would even a doubling of the price of cash commodities make farmland a good investment given the current price of commodity * crop yield/ price per acre?"</i> Aerable land is gaining value because they make less of it every year...

<i>"Fuck the BEES -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HERE HERE!!!!!!!! Nicely put</i> Well, I hope you two enjoy eating a steady diet of grain and some meats, because that's all the fare you get if honeybees go extinct. Wonder why fruits...
