I believe this is already the practice at numerous firms from Cantor Fitzgerald to Schwab...nothing new here. For example when you put a trade through Schwab less then 5% of them hit any exchange..This is just another attempt to circumvent exchange fees.:cool:

If all of you were truly professionals, consistent, and profitable you wouldn't be hanging around this site to begin with....

Bet you bitch a lot too about worthy "winners" who don't make it to the final of America Idol!! It's a rigged game and you ain't one of the "riggers" so quit bellyachin or buy a seat...

YES, STOP NOW!!! BEFORE YOU HURT YOURSELF MORE AND THE NEXT COMMUNIQUE' YOU HAVE IS WITH A SUICIDE PREVENTION HOTLINE AND NOT A BOARD FOR "TRADERS"!!

Jeff Cooper is one of the most important market interpreters you can read. His primary thrust is Gann Theory application to modern markets. Take the two week free trial to RealMoney.com or read the TheStreet.com and get the articles two to three days later. The 19.95 per mo subcription to RM is...

Santa Cruz is in the Half Moon Bay Area not the San Francisco Bay Area. Think you better brush up on Geography be fore you take up a brain taxing activity like trading.:cool:

My favorite is Sammy Chua he is a former no money down real estate artist that took $10,000 from his RE pupils and supposedly ran it into $10,000,000.00 in one year DayTrading. (His very first year of trading too I might add.)Guys who make public claims like this should be made to substantiate...

Huh, never heard of em, and I doubt you will ever hear of them again either. I understand the summers in the South of France are quite spectacular.:cool:

Get off my ass and get in gear. Crude oil and products are one of the principal if not the principal commodity that influences political and market moves worldwide. Of all the raw futures such as , Soybeans, Sugar, Cattle there is nothing with the repercussions of oil pricing. The volume will be...

I tend to agree with the last poster that steady income is hard to muster in daily in and out trading. But the 1% rule is one that I've heard for years from floor traders to upstairs traders. HOWEVER remember the BIG MONEY is made in the big move. The superstars of our world are basically Big...

Good point Yannis. I follow a number of peripheals when trading such as all the usual suspects we all follow and when my sound is working Woodie with the CCI signals(peaktrade). What I meant was the continual search for "absolute systems". There are no absolutes in my opinion. As Woodie would...

I actually saw many incidences like this around the Merc and Bot during the 60's and 70's(not all from women however). In the late sixties I worked with a group of Belly and Cattle traders, and the owner of the firm would pimp us to get out of his bad positions on the close. One day he called up...

Dgabriel, Great Post. Thanks.

Yep I just love it when half the free world is on the edge of their chairs sweating bullets waiting for the Intel number at 4:15:10 and they say "After the commercial break Rebecca Quick will bring us up to speed on that all important Intel report". Or how about when the market has been down...

Like so many people with too much time on their hands at least you were thinking!!!:cool:

Your best women traders are seasoned Bull Dykes. I saw one in a Chicago commodity office in the seventies beat up a hapless margin clerk who sold her out of her long soybean oil position over a $642.00 margin call only to have it go up the limit in late session trade. She proceeded to throw a...

Gee Whiz you must be smart!! I stated a fact of sentiment in markets and the history of markets since the late 1920's and the fact that markets can grind on for years after bubble events!! I was not trying to start a valuation forum, or an alchemy of American meltdowns and the reasons, etc. I...

Lighthead, there is no system that is foolproof!! Why post a "system" when none of them work. Hello. The only system is risk parameter management, period. You want to be long in strong markets and short in weak markets. You do not need a "system" to identify to be short or long when appropriate...

The only thing that made this show faintly watchable was the great Jim Rogers when he was on and occasionally Art Cashin.(You can tell any minute he may shout out "Run for the exits you suckers".) This is dangerous vacuous reporting at its best. How would you like to wake in the sack with Beagle...

I can hardly believe you are humoring this guy. I looked at the first chart he posted and had to call my shrink. It was a steadily trending market that reflected lagging indicators making crossovers on obvious accelerations. In a vicious oscillating market you would be whipped to death. This...
