What a great idea. Probably need heavy policing against people trying to sell nonsense schemes but well worth the effort I think. It could be called one of the following: Alternative Investments (as previously suggested) Off-Exchange Investments Capital Diversification Non-Tradeable...

Oliver, this is a standard offer which you would get from any London prop-shop (which is where Propex originated from- it's a sister company of MacFutures... sorry Refco.... sorry Marex now!) and yes it is possible to make some very good money.... but you need to be very good. Will probably be...

I have a friend, who has just finished his doctorate, that submitted his thesis: "The Effective use of Trading Rules and Money Management in Futures Markets" Everything in there was well thought out and made logical sense and his conclusion was that pivots, candles, point & figure and scaling...

The other word being.... :confused: :p

Very interesting post and full credit to you for sharing your findings in such an open manner- imagine if this site was full of positive additions like this rather than people just shooting down or bigging up theories. Posting methodology and stats like this allows people to draw their own...

All that has happened here is that since March, the market's perception of interest rates 10yrs in the future (forget whether the contract is deliverable for Mar/Jun/Sep or Dec 07 as this isn't the issue) is that they may be a little higher at that point in time than they felt back in March...

I'm amazed at the lack of understanding here. I don't think you need to necessarily know these things inside out in order to trade instruments but if you want to understand how/why they move, it would be handy if you thought about these angles before you start playing. The answer is people...

No offence but I think you need to learn a bit more about investment instruments a bit more in order to develop some kind of product that fills a gap. If you are thinking about insuring people against adverse moves in the physical instruments they are holding, this is exactly what derivatives...

If you are thinking that the Bund tends to lead the Bobl &/or Schatz/Eurostoxx then I don't think you really have much of an edge here. Just about anyone who trades Bund or other Euro F.I. futures learns this in the first 5 minutes of playing the game.

You're doing nothing other than describing a contract for difference (CFD) as someone else picked up on. These are as old as the hills but only been available to Joe Schmo from Cocomo in the last couple of years. You'd never be able to replicate the service offered by a full broker on this...

Where do you work, Mike and what is your role? PM me if you want a straight up conversation regarding all this.

Apologies, obviously not been in front of the tv enough over the last couple of days to pick that up- I was told in the office he was Chinese which was obviously a presumption. I retract that comment, address the rest without focusing on my mistake (allbeit a glaring one)

Also, I don't know how you reverse any of the negative effects your gun laws have had on society. I'd like to see a decent argument that can objectively say guns for everyone has not caused serious problems. If only there were a version of Bowling for Columbine was more neutral- I thought he...

I don't know how much this is going to wind you guys in the U.S up but I have to say it. Just reading some of the posts on this thread reminds me how great it is to live in a country that has a close to zero tolerance on guns. Although I agree that I'd be hesitant handing in my shooter if...

At least you realised all this quickly. Even though you may be a cut above the rest in every field you have ever endeavoured in, confidence and persistence isn't necessarily rewarded in this game. We're all smarter than 99% of the other people you meet but that really does count for sweet FA...
