If you are anywhere near as obnoxious in person as you are on this site - which is very likely - then I feel very sorry for anyone who has to be around you. Welcome to my ignore list. I'm sure your family wishes they could push a button as easily as I can and be rid of you.

If any of you numbnuts would have bothered to read even the first two paragraphs of the article, you would have noted that Maryland is the wealthiest state, due to federal salaries, etc. Make the attempt sometime to get off twitter and read more than 140 words at a time. You might even...

New York? New Jersey? California? Wrong. Hint: Where is all your money going? http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/local/D_C_-region-incomes-hold-strong-in-recession_-census-data-show-8275086-60082327.html

I've fired myself countless times. But I just keep giving myself another chance. I suppose I'm just too nice.

This really pisses me off no end. Where's the assistance for the tens of thousands of self-employed and small business owners who've lost their life savings? Extended unemployment rewards, for the most part, all those folks who played it safe and buried their heads in cubicle farms drawing...

But....unless you have income to sustain losses and a long learning curve, you are much better off finding another outlet for your activities. A strategy for trading ES needs to constantly evolve. A constant learning curve. It never ends. And what you've experienced over the past year...

No, you're not missing anything. If you feel it's critical to test both limits and stops intraday, your only option is to use intraday bars. So you'll need to shorten your timeframe or pay for additional data. Or, stay with the daily bars and use another exit strategy that doesn't...

LOL. If you had a small fraction of the trading skills you profess to have (9 years?), you wouldn't need to post and justify your "calls" in a public chat room. You have 'newbie' written all over yourself. Enough said.

Okay, you're basing your recommendation off indicators. And what's your timeframe? Obviously it isn't intraday from the tone of your few posts. So, days, weeks? Whatever? If you're going to make a specific market call and criticize others in your first few posts -- and you're one of...

It seems to me that if you were to take the time to post your opinion that the market is over-extended and I should be dumping my long positions, that you would be able to answer a simple question, which I already put to you. I'll repeat it. How do you define a market that is...

And an over-extended market is defined....how?

This is something that you can't relate to until you do it yourself. Then you'll find that any frustrations in your own trading - temporary drawdowns, poor market conditions, technical problems, whatever - are greatly magnified when you're responsible to others.

Precisely the kind of response I expected on this site. One can trade an account well into six figures as I do, and still want more flexibility in position sizing with the advantages that a futures contract offers.

E-mini futures are a great instrument, but the problem is that a single contract is creating exposure to roughly 50K of the S&P. The problem? Lack of flexbility in position sizing, scaling in and out, risk control, etc. I have no doubt that this is one reason why leveraged ETFs like...

From the march lows until now, the SPY has gained about 50%, from roughly 69 to 104. SSO in the same timeframe has moved from 14 to 33. You do the math. If you are betting on the long side in the overall market with an ETF, SSO is a decent instrument, especially when you consider that...

LOL. I've heard a lot of good ones in my trading career. But I have to admit that using CROX to set parameters for the SPY is a new one. :D

Yes, that statistic got a good laugh from me. There are so many small and mid-sized business that can gone under, there's no employees left to lose their jobs. At some point, the pond just drains out. And that's the good news?

The best marketing tool you can use for yourself is an "informational interview". I used it very successfully when I first got out of school, and it was in the middle of a recession. You are going to take advantage of the fact that you are just out of school and looking for good career...

The problem is either 1. The software 2. The data 3. Your coding of the parameters In backtesting, you can be certain that whenever the results appear to be too good to be true, you have errors that need to be tracked down. One place to start is in looking at the reported results...
