Will do statistical research for pips (or food)

well it came down to a misplaced decimal on an options trade in the OSX, i sold a straddle nearly for free i was severely broken about this, and it didnt help that my colleagues ridiculed me for months, asking me "got any cheap straddles you can ...

greenspan still has excellent timing

well there has been some fairly crazy stories told on these boards, so yeah we can call that a prestigious award: btw... did you just find out why the SS guards where there after reading the book?? or you knew greeny was being sworn in when it ...

trading on margin is too expensive anyway! ive yet to find a margin rate that is less than i can take an unsecured loan for. btw, thanks for all the info shared here guys, i wasnt even aware you could trade commodities in an IRA. its one of those ...

Trading out of an IRA

i doubt you will have problems with fxclub, in the latest report they look like they are going to meet the nfa requirement. and btw, forex factory is very selective in who advertises on the site, all of the advertisers are decent sized brokers. ...

FX Club on warning list ?

wasnt pretty on friday. there is still hope for a bounce, but man, there sure is potential for a panic snowball. think about it like this... most everyone who bought stocks in 2007 is sitting on a loss. thats a lot of hedgefunds! and ...

Wall Street close watch

my account is with morgan stanley, but i only do long term stock/bond trading on my IRA. i have to actually call my broker to place an order (oldschool baby LOL) so its a bit sluggish and there are more fees that i am used to. i know Tradestation ...

Trading out of an IRA

looks like futures opened up fairly weak today, but the market is headed up... if we dont break yesterday's highs that could spell trouble!

Wall Street close watch

yep! i always ask myself, how "old" is this trend? old trends, like old people, tend to get sick and die LOLOL. the older the trend, the more players that are in the market. a 5 year bull market is water-logged with longs... anyone who wants to be ...

Corrections

it aint looking good for the longs right now!! LOL at this point im thinking the panic will overshadow the bargain buyer and drive the market lower. are you in this thing cesar, or is it only the carry trade aspect you are concentrating on??

Wall Street close watch

not on wallstreet!!! in the US stock market, a correction means a down move ONLY. this stems from the belief that the normal course for the stock market is up. to me its quite foolish to believe that any market has a "normal" course - ANYthing can ...

Wall Street close watch

well, price doesnt go in a straight line forever, so i guess a "correction" is inevitable. but when it will happen is where the speculation lies. i believe the timing of a correction depends on the existing trend - how old and how strong is it? for ...

Corrections

yes this is something that surprised me...the fed is always saying "we are looking at the data". ive always thought they used that as somewhat of an excuse for not giving clear answers, but after reading this book i realize they really are looking ...

good point! however, if the decision went ot a committe, the argument then would be "who chooses the committe?"[/quote] LOL! yeah id have to say that out of the G10, japans banking system is the most politically charged.

greenspan still has excellent timing

this 10% correction thing is just a baseless tradition. there is a lot of history in the US stock market, and we have developed all kinds of names and sayings to go along with the price action. the word "correction" itself implies that when the ...

amen! i learned this the hard way, this priniciple applies to all businesses where you need to service a client! great post btw!
