What's for coffee Governor? I saw something where somebody overlayed a long-term coffee price chart with a sunspot cycle chart. It seems that coffee rallies sharply during sunspot cycle minimums.............Hey? What if it continues to happen in the future?!?!?

Undercapitalization Sucks Instead of trading e-Minis at the CME, take a look at Tradesports.com. They have some micro-eMini contracts on the S&P, Dow Jones & NASDAQ. I believe they're 1/10th the size of the eMini. You could trade those with less worry about being on the wrong side of a 500...

Wz4 On one hand, it looks bullish. On the other hand, it looks bearish................What do you do now?

I get the most value from real-time charts. I can literally see where potential support & resistance are developing. Regarding market depth & volume, I believe most of the posted orders are bogus and change too frequently to be of any value. Much of those orders are spread, option &...

Nice Roller Coaster Ride .......Jesse "Rags to riches back to rags back to riches back to rags hole in the head" Livermore? Is that the Jesse you're refering to?

Trader$$$ Arnold, Your points are on-the-money. (1) Regarding trading hours, It's possible to trade the German contracts and then switch to the eMini's & US 10-year Note. It makes for a long day but it captures the best liquidity. (2) In the US, futures are taxed at 28%, stocks @~40%. (3)...

The winner is.............FUTURES! (1) Futures trade nearly 24/7. You have more time to trade. (2) Short-selling is easier with futures. (3) There's a smaller universe of futures worthy of attention. This is easier to monitor compared to thousands of stocks. (4) Futures have better tax...

Is this what you mean??................ ......tradesports.com??

Feedback? Hmmmm............the midpoint of the prior 3 days' range can sometimes be the current value point??..............maybe in a sideways market but certainly not in a trending market. I always found it better to look at each day's profile separately in order to get a clearer idea of...
