  1. Another shill with multiple accounts. When the mods around here ever learn.
  2. Yeah, most shills are pretty pathetic, I agree. Shameful, truly shameful indeed, Fanus.
  3. Maybe. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U18VkI0uDxE&NR=1]YouTube - The Most Interesting Trader in the World[/ame] Maybe not.
  4. So speaks the OEC marketing shill.
  5. Yep. I'm not a shill for them either. Seems you like them a lot and post "updates" on a regular basis. OEC should be paying you or TL for your persistent goodwill on their behalf. Are you the same Chris M who works for them or something?
  6. Weekend gaps, notwithstanding. From time to time, you'll see a significant gap on an otherwise liquid instrument due to fundamental reasons, like the 6A (or AD) Aussie dollar contract this past Sunday evening (Monday morning Sydney time).
  7. Another item that traders should check is whether their stops are placed natively on the exchange, or held on the brokers server (or even worst, on your own platform) for queuing. For instance, that hard stop with OEC isn't actually in the market, on the exchange, but resides instead on OEC servers for execution upon being hit. Good luck with that in a fast moving market.
  8. Took them long enough to get with the program. Like 4 years or so? Infinity/Transact users have had this for quite awhile now. Just another OEC Marketing #FAIL. Guess their new owner figured it out for them.
  9. True, as they'll just create an alter-ego to continue the "dialogue".
  10. I guess, now we know the rest of the story...
  11. Doesn't work in this forum on would be mods-for-a-day, unfortunately.

    The Race

    Think of it like "swinging for sixes" in cricket then..: Comparison between cricket and baseball - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  13. Isn't OEC still holding stops on their server, and not on the exchange directly?

    3a) You take profits too early, at the first possible opportunity, and watch your trade go on to hit your original target.
  15. LINK: The bearish "death cross" indicator was just confirmed
  16. Guess the powers that be didn't want me to make your life easier for you...so just Google it and I'm sure you'll find an archived preview copy of it soon enough.
  17. Here's a link to a webinar that they put on with the folks one of the trading gurus.... Taxes for Traders Webinar_2 Compare and contrast with Robert Green, who is well known in the trading community as well. Website: GREEN TRADER TAX As for what you can expect from either, YMMV, depending on your specific tax situation.
  18. In other words, don't use a stop-LIMIT order, which may NOT be executed in a fast moving market. You might be stuck with an unfilled limit order, while the market moves far against you, and "gaps thru" your stop.
  19. "Meet the new boss/Same as the old boss". . . .. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHhrZgojY1Q]The Who - Won't Get Fooled Again[/ame]
  20. Interesting video..here's the YouTube version for your immediate gratification: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrkrvAUbU9Y]YouTube - Daniel Pink on the surprising science of motivation[/ame]
  21. This is a very detailed and good series on using the VWAP as the basis of a trading methodology. Hoping that there is more to the series going forward. As for the VWAP bands, are you normalizing the Standard Deviations by the volume, as has been suggested, in detail, in various posts on TL? Or are you just taking the raw SD of the VWAP without normalization?
