Not taking a long, and shorting, are two very different things, particularly in this market.

Done with everything I need to do and stopped by here to check out what's going on with the old crew. Glad to see you guys all doing well despite this crushed vol environment. Worst reason ever to take a trade. C'mon man. Feeling is an important reason but not the most important, and...

Does anyone who uses Fusion DMA know if it allows charting of a spread (non-exchange-traded)? I can create a custom spread to trade, but I cannot find a way to chart the spread historically. The manual does not seem to indicate that it is possible, but perhaps I am overlooking it. Anyone?

If you join a prop firm you have to fill out a U-4, which requires you to disclose any personal accounts you have, and which allows them to see your account records, as well as get notified of any activity while you're employed there. So, I don't think it would be wise to try to "pretend."

So do you use other means to hedge, besides your virtual hedging? Options, opposite position in a correlated/cointegrated product, etc.?

I just posted a new thread soliciting opinions about the Keir study guide here: http://www.elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&postid=3890321 Has anyone used this? I have ordered Pass Perfect but would be interested in the Keir guide if indeed it is useful.

Has anyone used this, or even heard of it? http://www.keirsuccess.com/Series-56-Text And this one: http://www.shinestradingroom.com/trading-education/the-complete-series-56-exam-training-course-detail.html I am reading that the Pass Perfect is the lesser evil of all S56 prep material...

Hey good job gmst and shorts! And Trvl., a hug for you too man :)

If asking me RXIS, just been trading and pretty much more of the same! gmst, I'm using Sierra Chart for trading. Vis, good to see you fellow young man! :) turtle, good to see your name too buddy! ;)

haha! Not meant to be negative at all my friend, just an observation. Glad you guys are doing great and making good money. I thought I responded to your PM, but sorry if I did not--I am hanging in there buddy!

Checking in here for the first time in many months. Good to see some of you guys still at it. Not much has really changed it seems--seems about 90% shorts today. Shorting new all-time highs when only 2 days out of the last 15 have broken the prior day's low. Some things never change :)

I knew you weren't playing with a full deck from reading some of your other posts, but this confirms it.

For some reason I feel no need to keep posting calls or charts here... I have a sim position on right now but am probably not going to be posting here anymore. I don't know why, it just feels right. I got up this morning, came to the computer, and something tells me to just keep it to myself...

Closed all at 98.00, +0.55 per unit, what a total waste of a day. Quick stat shows this is the lowest RTH range in years, minus holidays and even most of them had a higher range. 4.75, no range extension beyond opening 60 mins. Wow.

Absolutely -- consumer sentiment below consensus, Greek situation by no means over going into the weekend, but there's so much demand that it can't even touch 1400 a day after breaking through it for first time in 4 years. These SOBs are hooked on the Fed's policies like a drug... buy it to...

IMF staff report says Greek exit from Eurozone would be very costly, especially if attempted unilaterally without external support

I say, no way in hell we close above these current highs... the market must have some sense of decency left, and at least retest the all-important 1400 level, which it has not done today yet...

stop to 1401.00, short basis is 98.75 If this market will ever rotate down, my targets are 96.00, and a very optimistic (at this point) 93.00 It must be nice to be long from low 1300s and know that the Fed is protecting your investment, and will devalue the dollar at any amount to prevent a...

Maybe it's because of the stupid name: "the new iPad" ...

sold another 98.00
