Derivatives Trading

[Perisher]

Dear all

In this forum, there are basically 3 types of people.

Some of the people here are not making money, or they think they could be making tons of money by holding on to shares for very loooong term.
this is downtrend.
price is dropping and they think stock is cheap.
so they buy cheap stock but the price keep on dropping.
and they think stock is now even cheaper and they buy even more.


Another group of people are quite knowledgable and successful.


The third group of people are the destructive negative type.
They think they are the greatest and are spreading negative forces around. They post nonsense and they have such a negative pessemistic outlook.
Although the third group is a small number, the negative environment they created in this forum is totally unacceptable.



Past one month was quite a good time for me.
I earnt $50K. I know there are some who could earn 6 digits or more.

I lost my house and a sports car before.
Not a great problem because I can easily recover it back.
My target is to buy one sports car (probably Lotus) and utility car next year,
and 2 houses few years later (ie wait for recession to come and bottom up first).


I have tried to help those people who are investing wrongly.
I posted many postings to let people know how I do
pre market analysis, how I trade and how I do trend analysis.
Whatever I posted is not theoretical BUT what actually happened in my mind.
What happen in your mind, what u think and feel
determine your success or failure.
A kind compassionate confident person will earn tons of money.
An unkind pessemistic negative fearful reckless person will ultimately lost money.



Unfortunately this forum environment is too negative.
I wouldn't be using this forum anymore.
So administrator, you can proceed to delete all my postings.


Anyway all the best to all of you.

The mod(aka me) has never treat you as negative in this forum and thank you for all the sharing. Will just leave this thread as it is.

You want the FIA's Annual Volume Survey. Here's the 2014 version.

So to answer your question about most-liquid US futures markets, the ones that stand out are:

• In ags: CBOT corn, beans, and wheat in that order;
• In energy, the ICE and NYMEX energy complexes (Brent and gasoil on ICE, WTI and natgas and RBOB and heatoil on Nymex);
• In metals: Nymex/Comex gold and copper;
• In rates: CME eurodollars and CBOT's bond complex;
• In equities: SPY options, SPX options, and SPX futures/fut opts;
• In FX, the usual suspects on the CME: euro, yen, cable, Pacific peso.

Hi maxinger, I followed your subsequent postings on another forum sometime back

Most people would have given up after losing a house & a sports car. some may even commit suicide. What is your mindset that allows you to push forward, even with these weighing at the back?

I'm curious, as while I have no real mentors, except for the market, the journey has led me to understand it is all in our minds. hope to expand my mindset by understanding what you went thru

it depends on how the house & sports car was bought in the first place. if the person bought the house & sports using high leverage and taking a big loan, the naturally it will be a difficult blow to the person.

but for his case, he said that he could make 50k in a month. this means that he can easily earn back the house or car in just a few months' time, so it is not really a big deal to him. all he need to do is to repeat what he was doing to earn that 50k again and save up again. compared to someone who lost it while taking a big loan and only earning less than 5k a month. the feeling is very different.
