Hi All, I see that again there is negative comment against Mr Marcus. Made today by CJ12. See this post below from the chat room. Moderators where on earth are you ? CJ I know that he took about 4/5 guys - created this room called numpties and was goin to teach them everything on mini-dow...

Hi I have recently been looking at Bid Ask volume analysis , relating particularly to the ES and YM contracts. I am interested in finding out more about Inside Volume - - Under what conditions does and can Inside Volume occur ? - What is it that makes Inside Volume occur ? -...

Oaksie When you excercise an option you excercise the 'right' that you bought. when you bought the option If you bought a call say on MSFT at the the 30 strike price then if you excercised this right you would take delivery of 100 shares of MSFT at 30 - if you excercised your right. Normally...

Hello teleph1 As this seems to be your area, one other idea you could try is instead of buyiing the shares outright, buy a 2 year LEAP, this is less expensive than buying the shares outright and you can sell the LEAP back after a year and still get most of your premium back and of course get...

Hello teleph1 Thanks for your reply. I took a look at the site you mentioned. You seem to have a game plan which is better than many people. Maybe if you keep things very small it will work out, the tendancy is to up your size because things are going great and then the volatility starts...

Teleph1 I would be very careful selling options naked. The market will eventually catch up with you and take your money.I spent many years selling strangles and straddles with and without protection depending on the market. I would roll the position out (month or strike) if I came under...

Blackcab, YM is an electronic contract and the exchange give it. I have IB(Intercative Brokers) and get it that way, or alternatively you can go to the CBOT site, they have it. Cheers Goshort

Jon, Took a bit but no problem. I attach a document from the e-CBOT which outlines Liffe Connect and how it all works Good Trading and best regards Paul

Jon I have attached an example trading scenario to explain the volume question from yesterday. I hope the spreadsheet is comprehensible but I will try to run through it and explain it here. Firstly we have Bank A with chief trade Jon, on the other side of the road we have Bank B, with chief...

Jon I'll post again later but here is another example from the YM a few minutes ago. The bearish reversal bar to me can only be due to sellers swamping the buyers. The spike in Vol shows this. Rgds Paul

Jon Agreed easy in hindsight. But concerning volume, if you consider that in a down trend sellers are most of the time or generally in control and that in an up trend buyers are mostly or generally in control, then what does it take to reverse either one of those scenarios? Take the down...

Barjon Wouldn't it better for those that are short to take a loss and then keep their powder dry - use your methods to indicate when is the time to come back and take that short. There will be shorts in the future but if you commit too much on any one trade now hoping that things will get...
