Almost forgot . . . The number one problem on this planet is too damn many people. The world's population has like doubled in the last century and is scheduled to double again by 2050. You think we got problems now? Not enough energy. Not enough water. Not enough food. Just wait. It's...

Gee, I haven't even gotten wound up yet :D I can hardly go out in public anymore since my ideas are apparently so radical. Hell, my folks probably wouldn't let me in the door if I wasn't family. Here's a few more . . . The Democrats should convert from a political party to a charity...

The obvious solution is to replace the income and capital gains taxes with a national sales tax. This would have numerous benefits including . . . Taking away the power of Congress to implement social engineering. Elimination of the IRS gestapo. Elimination of the billions spent on...

I just bought a SyncMaster 955DF from www.mwave.com for $231.00 plus shipping. Ordered on a Sunday and trading with it on Thursday. Also bought a Matrox 450 from them for $68.00.

Anyone using the Ensign/DTN combo? Could you say which DTN subscription that you have and how solid the datafeed is? I am mainly interested in daytrading the e-minis.

I am taking a look at WLD for developing systems for the ES. I am looking at both day trading and position trading the intermediate swings. Has anyone had any success with system trading the ES? If so, any thoughts on what the right direction might be to look in? Also, any WLD users out...

Is anyone trading the e-mini Russell 2000 index? If so, could you tell me what the liquidity is like? Also, I can't seem to bring up a chart for this contract in QCharts. I have tried CME:ER202H and a few other combinations to no avail. Any ideas?

I trade the S&P E-mini and am looking for software that is compatilble with both real-time and historical data . It would need to be programmable for a multiple-time frame sytem. For example, I might want to trade a system as follows: 1. Long-term - 60 min bars as trend indicator (EMA...

I recently received my individual healthcare insurance renewal from Time Insurance Co. and the premium has increased by 40%. Are other individually-insured traders seeing this type of increase? I'm not sure why the increase should be so large. According to IBD, the cost of healthcare has only...

Is anyone here a member of the LBT Trading Room (Linda Raschke)? If so, can you tell me whether following their S&P daytrades has proved profitable - i.e. average points per day. It's not cheap at $350/mo, but might be worth it if they have a positive expectency. I have sent them email twice...

I did that on the first day of this month. They had two calls in the eminis that seemed to net about 2-4 points each. I am wondering how they do on a longer term basis.

Lately, I have been listening to AQuoteHead at http://www.live365.com/stations/202801. This is currently a free service, but it sounds like they are going to charge soon. I had a thought, though. Is there a live webcam of the S&P pit? Perhaps this would be a useful addition to the standard...

I suggest you check out Borsellino's site at teachtrade.com. I have a subscription to both teachtrade.com and tradingmarkets.com and have read through his material on both. I think you may be able to get the same info for free at teachtrade.com.

I just opened an account with IB to trade E-Minis. After digesting all of the available info on the IB website, I have a few questions. 1. If you have no open positions, can you use the SELL action for shorting (as opposed to using the SSHRT action which has no definable hotkey)? 2. On a...

If I sold short one NQ01U contract at the 11:22am high at 1719.50 and covered at the 15:40pm low at 1626.00, I would gain 94.50 handles at $20 per handle or $1890. If I sold short the QQQ at the 43.57 high and covered at the 40.30 low, I would gain 3.27 points. $1890 divided by 3.27 =...

For the S&P E-Mini, what would be the maximum number of contracts that could be safely daytraded given the current liquidity? Also, does the term "cars" refer to 5X. For example, would "MLynch 1202 bid on 20 cars" be the equivalent of 100 contracts?

Does this apply to futures, as well, or is it solely for equities?

I would be interested to know what type of annualized returns other traders are generating on their trading capital. In much of my reading, an annual return in excess of 25% is derided as wishful thinking. On the other hand, taking one point a day out of a high-volatility stock like NVDA...
