Some brokers guarantee stops, others do not. Many brokers don't "open" until 5pm on Sunday. Others such as Oanda will let you execute trades all weekend long (albeit at higher spreads...like 10-15pips on the Euro). Here is a chart of Oanda's prices ...

I hear you Chris. There's still a part of me that thinks that if everyone in the world thinks one thing will happen, something else probably will happen...i.e. doesn't it seem like every hedge fund & retail investor in the world is trying to find ...

500bn Euro "Emergency Package..." — Looks like the rumors are most likely true. According to Bloomberg European leaders are hammering out the final details on a 500bn Euro lending mechanism. Eur/usd is trading around 1.2920 on ...

Here are an economic commentary that was sent over a few minutes ago. The latest rumor-du-jour is that over the weekend we will get a massive injection of funding from the ECB. This is a quote from the head of fixed income strategy at Jeffries Inc: ...

Let's not belabor the point... Yes, it was a PM because I don't think this thread is the forum for you (or I for that matter) to spout off our opinions about the economy, the fiscal strength of the USA, the Gold standard, inflation, politics or ...

I will respond to your hyperventilating in a private message. Your confusing the stock & flow variables in debt calculations among other things where you misconstrued my prior post. Best Regards, InfinitySL

Jharvey.. Next time just post this: video OK, now back to markets. On a side note, there is going to be some serious fallout from today's trading activity. Check out IWD's intra-day chart and my notes: image I see a lawsuit in someone's ...

It appears that some of the move (not saying all) was due to a bad trade/tick in Proctor & Gamble (PG) stock. Apparently the stock was down about 2% before the move, ticked all the way down to -24% and rebounded almost immediately. Because the dow ...

An update on rates: — I had posted this chart maybe a month ago about a "triangle" forming on 10yr US Treasury futures contracts. Here is an update: image The arrow above is pointing to where I thought we'd break lower (i.e. higher ...

Right you are! Anyone else a bit concerned about messing around with GBP ahead of the elections today & NFP tomorrow, not to mention the high degree of noise out of greece? Seems like taking any positions today is a bit like playing with fire... I'm ...

This post offends the hell out of me.... How is it in Iran this time of year anyway?

I'll respectfully disagree with this analysis. The US does not currently have a sovereign debt crisis on their hands, so it can't be ground zero for the sovereign debt crisis. Perhaps you mis-phrased that. Be that as it may, our debt to gdp ratio at ...

Indeed - scary. Yeah, I agree and I think I may have mixed up my figures. Instead of 20%, it is €20bn in uncollected taxes or something like that. But in any case, you get my point. Not to mention that the Greeks lost all credibility by lying about ...

I wouldn't throw in the towel on Abbott just yet. I'm not in this one, but oddly enough it caught my eye when I was scanning some stock tables in one of the weekend rags...then I caught up on about 8 pages worth of SS-Method posts and saw your ...

Very interesting reversal on stocks today. Watch XLF closely... Goldman Sachs sued by the SEC...and this is just the tip of the iceberg for many of these guys. UBS, Bank of America (now the proud owner of Merrill Lynch) as well as JPM (the owner of ...

Not sure why I would want to make a case for that quote, as I have a very low opinion of "trader psychologists". The only reason I brought it up is that the quote is a bit self-defeating for the speaker of said quote. He's making a case for me not ...

Don't take offense, but what is the point of this quote? Isn't this guy's entire business model about selling books & seminars to traders? Seems to me like a very good argument to skip out on Dr. Steenbarger & (even more so) Mark Douglas' ...
