Second bombing suspect taken into custody: reports

Chalayan — Sat, 20 Apr 2013 18:23:56 MDT

LOS ANGELES (MarketWatch) - The second suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing was taken into custody after a standoff with police Friday night in Watertown, Mass., concluding a daylong manhunt in which the area's residents were in lockdown and told to stay indoors, media reports said. Authorities had combed through the Boston suburb before cornering Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, inside a small boat in a backyard. Tsarnaev was taken into custody after police reportedly set off several flash devices and used tear gas to try and get him to surrender. Tsarnaev managed to elude police during a nighttime firefight in a Watertown neighborhood late Thursday in which his brother, 26-year-old Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was killed. The two men are believed to have set and detonated the devices that exploded near the finish line of Monday's marathon, killing three people and injuring more than 175.

The Toxic Culture of Oscillators/Indicators and Why Contribute to Your Failure As an E-Mini Trader

Sandra — Sat, 20 Apr 2013 18:23:49 MDT

From the onset, let me make it clear that there is a time and place to use indicators/oscillators in your career as an e-mini trader. Having said that, I would also like to make it clear that I believe indicators and oscillators are misused and misapplied at an appalling rate, and the misapplication of these tools is a major cause for the skyrocketing failure rate among beginning e-mini traders.
