I'm in "january" with where I am with the syllabus just to put things in perspective. I think I'm getting faster at making pretty colored and annotated charts but I chuckle thinking to myself that "I make pretty colored charts" is what I'm getting good at and I'm wondering when I get lost ...

Here's my first post of my efforts at ES annotations from opening to 10:55 am today. I only have in my tool kit for use and practice right now the initial tools of trying to determine channels (mark points 1, 2 and 3), looking for and marking FTT's, FBO's and BO's. I am not beyond that point...

Will someone help me understand this please? I'm working my way through the channels document as well as reading this thread and the equities threads. I have far to go still in this and the other threads - but at the same time I have also read quite a bit. There is a lot of material! My...

test <IMG SRC=http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/attachment.php?s=&postid=1492778> that's all

Beginner question: Should I consider redrawing the marked downtrend line after what looks to me to be a FBO and use that FBO point as a new/adjusted point three? (And also make similar adjustments to the right channel lines for that channel.) Thank you, - David I [edit: Please ignore...

Re: JADE, FTT's, On the look out for FTT's after Volatility Expansion and the particulars about that small gap up and it turning out to be an FTT. Thank you so much. That was very helpful and clear. - David I

I'm busy reading and studying all the material but if you would help me here with that statement with respect to JADE. When you posted it the day before it had successfully completed a several day traverse from the right trend line to the left - and more - it gave us a volatility expansion on...

In fact in the one 2 hour session I listened to many if not all of the invited panelists seemed to be making that exact same point to the SEC people. That the 'hedge' fund industry has been super effective at doing what it does. They talked about many different factors that make hedge funds and...

The SEC Roundtable on Hedge funds is over. The sessions from the two days are available as an archived webcast on the SEC website. I just finished listening to the Day 2, Panel 5 session guessing that the issue of short selling would be addressed in that session. I was sort of lucky. It was...

Here's a link to the latest news about this round table as reported by CBS.MarketWatch: http://cbs.marketwatch.com/news/story.asp?guid=%7B2DD8B32A%2D343B%2D4DAC%2D8A6F%2DAF1C98921931%7D&siteid=mktw A couple of interesting quotes from the article: "The SEC is using the roundtable to...

I posted this as a new thread so I could get the date in the list of thread titles since some people might want to know this is happening later today and tomorrow! For details see: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?threadid=16144

Don't complain months from now if the SEC makes changes to Hedge Funds or Short Selling as a result of this roundtable. This is our chance to keep in touch with what the SEC is getting it's nose into. I'll post some links below about this. Some of them are comments and papers submitted in...

I don't know if this link will work but here's an attempt to point you to the actual cbs.marketwatch article: http://cbs.marketwatch.com/news/story.asp?guid=%7B23F08152%2D061F%2D41D0%2D9E06%2DFB976ED47B07%7D&siteid=mktw

An article on CBS.MarketWatch came to my attention concerning this and I would guess it would concern many here on ET as well. The title of the article is: "SEC probing hedge fund short selling - Hedge funds focus of Senate Banking hearing" by Matt Andrejczak with a last update of today at 10...

Also ... Do you know about the Pattern Day Trader rules? If not you had better read up and learn about them ASAP or else you will get burned when you your broker calls you up to tell you about them. With less than $25K in your account there are restrictions about how many trades you can do in...

You can open an account at IB and only pay 1 penny a share ($1 min) for each of most of the trades you are likely to do. That's about $1 in and $1 out = 2 bucks total. Compare that to $15 in and $15 out, $30 total. Ouch! At least with small size (say 100 shs) and deep discount rates (say $2 in...

A trading buddy and I noticed slowness as well a release or two ago. He figured out (I don't know how!) a quick work around which you can try right away to see if it helps you. I then found in the IB discussion boards that others have found a better answer which I use with great success. The...

For those that might want more specific pointers on the AMEX website about XSH and other indicies ... here's how I came across the info: A search of indexes available (this is where I noticed some HOLDRs specific indices)...

Deron, This past week I was looking at various indexes at the AMEX and noticed there is one with the symbol XSH titled "Semiconductor HOLDRs Index". It seems as if it's the index of those components that make up the SMH with the representative weighting of those companies. Do you know if...
