  1. The ES chart from the 18th was a fantastic chart to look at for our local ASX index cause following the awesome 4+% rise following the fed it was a no brainer to immediately go long on our own markets (I did with shares though) and our markets had the biggest one day rise all year on very healthy volume! A very profitable day. A few people at the office reckon that the US interest rate cut may signal a turn around in market confidence here in Aus but i still think we have a lot to go to get out of the woods. I'd like to see the ES back above 1400 in the near term future to settle my own mind about whether we'll be back on the way up. Somehow I can't see that happening for a long time.
  2. Today i managed to make up a lot of lost ground with those missing 190k recruits. I'm back over 100k recruits again and got most of my NW back as well. One thing that I don't get is how to boost your level up faster as I'm only just over 5k level and i don't want to waste turns on the "train troops" thing. Attacking in the BF doesnt really get that much level does it? 15 to conquer a territory and 10 for a successful challenge. what are u guys doing to get ur levels up?
  3. Great video. I got home from a big friday night out and saw this and just watched it again now. Do you find that since you started to trade the ES that there's enough liquidity on it in premarket to be able to trade successfully? I'm in the same boat as you in terms of time zone differences so if the liquidity on the ES is not bad in the premarket then I'd switch over form YM pretty quickly!
  4. I've gone on a massive spending spree recently and had my NW really rocket up almost double in a day. I'm going to do some nuking tomorrow and then spend the cash all on attack stuff and go on an attacking spree. Awesome game love it
  5. Two cannibals are sitting over a fire roasting a clown they abducted from a travelling circus. One of them leans over rips off a hunk of flesh from the spit and pops it into his mouth. He chews for a few seconds with a confused look on his face, swallows, then rips off another piece of meat and hands it to his mate and asks "Hey does this taste funny to you?"
  6. A Texas gentleman asked a waiter to take a bottle of Merlot to an attractive woman. The waiter took the Merlot to the woman and said, "This is from the gentleman seated over there," indicating the sender. She regarded the wine coolly for a second, not looking at the man, and decided tosend a reply note to the man. The waiter, who was lingering for a response, took the note from her and conveyed it to the gentleman. The note read: "For me to accept this bottle, you need to have a Mercedes in your garage,a million dollars in the bank, and 7 inches in your pants." After reading the note, the Texan decided to compose one of his own in return. He folded the note, handed it to the waiter, and instructed him to return this to the woman. It read: "For your information, I have a Ferrari Maranello, a BMW Z8, a Mercedes CL600, a Porsche Turbo, Toyota Prius, and Matrix, in my garage, beautiful homes in Aspen, Colorado and Miami, and a 10,000 acre ranch in Texas. There is over twenty million dollars in my bank account. But, not even for a woman as beautiful as you, would I cut three inches off. Just send the bottle back!!!
  7. A Woman was out golfing one day when she hit the ball into the woods. She went into the woods to look for it and found a frog in a trap. The frog said to her, "If you release me from this trap, I will grant you three wishes." The woman freed the frog, and the frog said, "Thank you, but I failed to mention that there was a condition to your wishes. Whatever you wish for, your husband will get times ten!" The woman said, "That's okay." For her first wish, she wanted to be the most beautiful woman in the world. The frog warned her, "You do realize that this wish will also make your husband the most handsome man in the world, an Adonis whom women will flock to". The woman replied, "That's okay, because I will be the most beautiful Woman and he will have eyes only for me." So, KAZAM-she's the most beautiful Woman in the world! For her second wish, she wanted to be the richest woman in the world. The frog said, "That will make your husband the richest man in the world. And he will be ten times richer than you. " The woman said, "That's okay, because what's mine is his and what's his is mine." So, KAZAM-she's the richest woman in the world! The frog then inquired about her third wish, and she answered, "I'd like a mild heart attack." Moral of the story: Women are clever. Don't mess with them. Attention female readers: This is the end of the joke for you. Stop here and continue feeling good. Male readers: Please scroll down. The man had a heart attack ten times milder than his wife!!! Moral of the story: Women are really dumb but think they're really smart. Let them continue to think that way and just enjoy the show PS: If you are a woman and are still reading this; it only goes to show that women never listen!!!
  8. Nuking is awesome. Today i logged on and nuked every single possible target available to me and made a ton on money recruits and level. Im not level 4600 so not doing too badly. After nuking you can afford to buy a helluva lot of stuff and with the recruitment increase you can easily hold a territory while you exploit it for funds and more recruits.
  9. I just joined up now. Nick1984 is my username.
  10. I think that the moon landing did really happen however because of the extremes of space i.e cold, radiation etc regular filming equipment and especially the film itself could not handle the conditions so they probabbly refilmed it here on Earth using the talents of Mr Stanley Kubrik to direct the whole thing.
  11. Fantastic video mate really learned a lot about CCi.
  12. I use fibs fairly regularly but only for longer timeframes as I find the retracements to be more more complying on longer time frame so therefore i will use an hourly swing high/low combo or daily swing high/lows. The fib you placed looks fine but personally i'd get rid of the other lines except for the 0, 50, 61.8 and 100. If you were looking to short a rally to the 50 or 61.8 then nothing would of come up but that doesnt matter, not good to chase the market anyhow. Once the market made new lows you can replot the fib and it would of worked as a short at the gap between the 50 and 61.8. Extensions can be used as profit targets, but I don't personally use extensions.
  13. It has to be without a doubt 100% unequivocally no competition hands down number 1 "Conan the Barbarian" followed closely by "Commando", "Predator" and then the first 2 Rambo movies. Hehe I guess you can tell I love action flicks. But on to other movies heres a list of some movies I love (apart from some of the ones you list there): Glengarry Glenross The Godfather Scarface The Usual Suspects Annie Hall Coffee & Cigarettes Thank you for Smoking Spartacus Wall Street La Dolce Vita No Country For Old Men (Absolutely loved this movie) The Pink Panther series Omg i could go on forever!
  14. Wow lol long time since i posted up here! I'm not an afficionado on indicators so can you explain how an oscilator like the CCi differs from the MA crossovers? I understand the MA crossovers and used them like almost everyone when I first ever started trading but quickly found them to be lagging so dropped them except on my long term swing trades. What are the advantages of using your timing with a CCi?
  15. Ladies love him? Serious? They'd be scared of him. Its like having the hulk coming after you! He moves like a dope as well, very ungainly lol.
  16. Hey fellas hows it goin!?! Been a while since I been back here. Long holidays and all after finishing uni. James is orange now! hehe. How's everyone doing in their trades? I'm hopping back onto the trading bandwagon come next week after some long well deserved rest. What a time to come back in! Wish I'd been short from a few weeks ago. Lets start some analysis tomorrow!
  17. One quick question I forgot to ask James, slightly off topic, is your MP data and charts all on the Esignal package?
  18. Nice Video James good to see you back up here again! You on holidays now for a bit? Summer time here in Aus and I'm still living it up. Haven't placed a trade in about 3 weeks now hehe. Bit more time down at the beach before I get back to the trading. Interesting to see how your trading style has changed.
  19. Try http://www.bmf.com.br They do have the Brazil -50 index futures contract. Price quoted in index points times the Brazilian Real. Price moves in incriments on one point. As for brokers don't know about that one. You might want to check out the volume going through. Brazil is an emerging market thats on its way to becoming a major player in the world so a lot of opportunity for growth there. Edit: Trading volume on the indicies as a whole is not too bad, approx 75k contracts a day (better than here in Aus!) so it puts it in the same zone as the YM.
  20. Advantages of institutional traders: -Superior information collation and dissemination -Large capital reserves (you can afford to make a few mistakes!) -Highly Competitive environment forces you to be good or you loose your job! -Friday night drinks at that lane way bar after nailing a nice move -Chicks dig guys in nice suits
  21. I got my little Dobermann pup. I named him Arnie. He's 10 weeks old at the moment and seems to have taken to his new family like a house on fire. For those of you that love dogs here's a pic
  22. I completed 2 degrees. One in Commerce majoring in Finance and Economics. My second degree is an Arts degree majoring in French and Politics
