Good show. Thanks for posting.

The easiest cure is to simply learn to sleep on your side. For most people this will keep the soft tissue in the back of your throat from blocking your air passage. You may need to get a different pillow.

If you are bored you could re-read all the old Jack Hershy posts and try to understand what the heck he was saying. However, none of these suggestions are going to make you money.

Funny, because the charts scale the data, in this low volatility environment when I see a breakout on the intraday chart like yesterday I'm thinking - Yea baby, pachinko! ......... and then I look at my P&L and see I made a grand total of 2 points (es). You used to have 5-minute flags pulling...

Neither will a larger tick size - so your point is........?

Don, one would assume that the specialists are going to be on their best behavior when an outside visitor is watching them. Its what they do when no one is watching that is of concern.

You could say its a form of intelligence http://www.thomasarmstrong.com/multiple_intelligences.htm

I think they ran out of chalk. http://gramco.safeshopper.com/61/cat61.htm?107 :D

BM: I am surprised that someone as astute as yourself missed the unwritten sub-meaning or un-said underlying meaning in my previous comments. My un-said underlying meaning or USUM is that in trading one must discern and select the instruments to trade that are the most efficient within the...

What a ridiculous comment. Of course I am taking responsibility for my outcome. I cannot trade YM the way I want to with limit entries and exits because they aren't effective without native stops on the CBOT. I am not willing to accept the slippage with market orders. The only reason to...

For off-floor traders - you have got it exactly backwards.

If you are swing trading using 30-minute and higher charts you typically enter using a buy limit-stop (long). Ditto for your exit limit-stop. I use IB and with YM it zips through the buy stop with my limit order activated several ticks under. More often than not, if there is any trend it...

I will look forward to trading YM again when they get native stops (assuming there is liquidity left).

I've come to the conclusion that YM (CBOT's Dow futures) is untradeable for swing traders. Without native stops on the exchange you have a situation where YM move through your entry stop limits and through your exit stop limits without getting a fill. The difference is the time it takes your...

IMHO, military discipline can be summed up in the following sentence: "You don't have to like it, you just have to do it." Soldiers spend a lot of time bitching and moaning about having to do disagreeable tasks (a soldiers prerogative) - but they still do the task. So that means taking...

Nicely worded.

Excerpt of an editorial from today's Wall Street Journal. _________________________________ A Better Big Board The new boss of the New York Stock Exchange, Goldman Sachs emigre John Thain, is making waves by promising a new era of electronic trading. Perhaps he realizes that the days of...

Another exerpt from the WSJ ___________________________________ NYSE May Revise Best-Price Rule By DEBORAH SOLOMON and KATE KELLY Staff Reporters of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL The Securities and Exchange Commission could soon deliver one of the biggest challenges to newly installed...

You are funny Martinez. :D A specialist is someone who challenges a group of guys who have a ball and chain clamped on their ankles to a 100 yard dash and then brags how good he is to win 80% of the time. If specialists really got "the biggest balls" - then get rid of the 30-second...

It seems like a good idea. I've got Blue Cross (ghetto plan). Insurers seem to give better plans at better prices to groups than to individuals. It probably wouldn't cost a brokerage anything (maybe a few hours a quarter from their HR person). It would be a good way for a brokerage to...
