That's exactly why I'm looking for a "job" rather than trading my own account. What I do is so consistent that it feels like an arb. But if the market conditions change I could easily start losing. And that would be very nasty if the conditions changed as soon as I started trading for myself...

That's so true. But then why is so much of the information/advice on this site based on technical analysis?

I normally hold it for a few days. And go to the Platinum Bar to kill the time while waiting.

There appears to be a mispricing in the relationship between the Eurostoxx and Dax futures on Eurex. Now is therefore a good time to buy Eurostoxx and sell Dax. Please let me know if you have success with this trade.

Will vol climb? I'm hoping it goes all the way to 60%!

ESX futures have dropped off in the last few minutes despite a lack of news. Looks like the big boys are trying to hit some stops. I'm going long for a short term punt.

ESX feels like it wants to rally over NFP. Anyone else concur?

Hi, I'm looking for historical fx data. bid/ask. 1 minute. Going back until around 2000. http://www.olsendata.com/, which is mentioned in several academic papers that I've read, sell what I need for a couple of grand. Is that a good source? And is there a cheaper source? Happy New...

Actually, the GS cleaners in London went on strike, as they got jealous of the bonuses they were reading about in all the papers.

I don't use indicators. I watch the depth in the order book and movement of the bid/ask spread. This is very consistent for me but highly unscalable.

I haven't really found anything that I apply, on the internet or in books. Though some stuff in forums can be interesting. I found my edge by staring at the charts for months on end until I developed a gut instinct for what would happen.
