  1. Sorry to intrude, but you're long 73 contracts? Account size?

  2. 100110000.00. approximately. It is really varying now. By my reckoning, I can afford to lose 1% on a trade. I boosted my account by 1% during RTH, so I am still up. BTW, I am long 76 contracts now! I see the bid is up to 1498.25 -- go bulls!

    A delta is a landform where the mouth of a river flows into an ocean.........:p :p :p
    look if you don't see the point here and take advantage of it then fine...... would it help you if I gave you every bulk order that took place by size time and all? markets need to be measured and not wild guessed.

  5. Oh, man! I must be a wild guesser. It is true. Last year, about this time, the futures dropped way below fair value and I made a bundle. Hoping for a repeat, not a 3-peat. Oh! Ye gods! Smile upon me.

  7. I know all about the SEC. What do you want to know?

  8. OK, I'll assume the 100mil is a joke. I'd assume you're sitting on something around 250k. In any event, a $3,800 handle shouldn't cause a loss of composure; and if it does you should get out. Stress kills. It forces you to be the weak-hand.

    No you just seem not to have a clue what you're talking about. You're talking about "buy contracts" and "sell contracts". In futures there's no such thing as a buy contract or sell contract. Every contract has a buyer and seller. The delta just measures the number of contracts at the bid versus the number of contracts at the ask. It that what you're referring to?
