as a former series 3 holder, you don't necessarily need to give trading signals or hold ciient money to be obligated to be registered with the NFA. let me tell you that you are on the borderline bc traders are coming to you to learn how to make money on the basis that you claim to trade in...

hi Jtrader, i think Bone is a guy with a lot of expereince bc he def says a lot of good things but i think he is talking himself to be much more than what he is.......for his consultancy business. i wanted to show you the chart completion to the trade i sent you last night, and you can see the...

yes you are right, some of the web ice financially settled swaps were made available through TT. However, in order to get access to them you need to be declared as an ECP which is an "'elected contract participant'' and you need to prove a certain credit worthiness and liquidity. We are...

no I am def a pro trader - prop, institutional and fund. However, some of these energy products are not my area of expertise. As a matter of fact, historically to get access to web ice you needed to be 10mm USD liquid in order to trade it. So now all of a sudden web ice products are...

well, nothing is sustainable, i create the strategies, so i have to believe in them....but when contracts rollover, or things change the strategies break or become untradeable and then i have to find something to new to trade or make volume adjustments.....

@Jtrader here is another strategy: i am scaling into it selling at the first red line and second red line, and will hold for a buy target at the blue line using a channel index as a basis for time validity and stops. this how i make money trading custom spreads. this guy Bonehead, probably...

yea that's fair, but which each strategy that each trader creates for themselves also depends on which kind of execution technique you use. So what you refer to as "chop" i see mean reversion, i buy low and sell high in the ranges.....when the market trends up , i buy dips on the...

ok which PJM contract are you referring to specifically? http://www.cmegroup.com/trading/energy/electricity/pjm-ni-hub-5-mw-real-time-off-peak-futures_quotes_volume_voi.html i highlight the most active PJM contract which trades exclusively on clearport as you can see as per the...

1.) there is no lme vs comex gold aribtrage.....there is an comex vs lme copper arbitrage and that trade still exists 2.) my point was that you said on your website that you spreaded PJM electricity vs ng heat rate swap. Those are not futures products available on TT....those are voice...

on your website, it says you use the autospreader below for that strategy, i didnt realize the PJM electricity was available on TT.....i thought those were all clearport and OTC products. Above is my personal work station setup using the Trading Technologies Auto Spreader for the PJM...

well thats why i posted the chart for you, that a strategy i trade with real money. sometimes i leg in and out of the components of the custom spread. but when it trends nicely, i can get in and out - take my money and go home. why does it happen? i dont know but i dont care, but it does...

what he says is true that when you have correlated products, for some reason they have moments where you can get some clean trends. it might be that when something structural happens to one leg of the pair, the divergence happens in a systematic manner. (see attachment as example - this is...

OK that's interesting then. will have a think over.

that's is understood. i do some flies and boxes as well, when i find good ones....but most of them suck. as someone who has prospectively interested in becoming a client, how many different profitable strategies are you running? are you then saying that a client would have to pay your one off...

thats bc its much harder than what it sounds. you have to find a the right strategy in order to reap the benefits of spread trading with cheaper margins. the spreads that bone has listed as an example are not ones that have any real edge. the flies, for example, you have a 4-6 tick bid/ask...

hello, I remember reading a while back that on exchange traded calendar spreads, you only charge commission on one leg. For example Buy 1 CLZ3:CLZ4 @ 7.00 will only per charge on one side even though you physically execute two legs as per the below: (Buy 1 CLZ3 @ 102.00/Sell 1 CLZ4 @...

can you clarify on the above point as i am currently researching a similar topic? i understand if one were trading futures they are allowed to pay 60 % as long term capital gains and 40% as short term, which make them tax advantageous over stocks. but what does this mean if you are a pro...

what are the contract ratios that you guys commonly use to take into consideration both tick value and dvo1 on the spreads 5 vs 10 vs30 10 vs 30 Your comments are greatly appreciated.

hi Sheda, I agree with you but I think you are misunderstanding atticus' point. The legislation at the end of the day, regardless of where the actual pitfalls occured in each individual case, is to target general mass as a first line defense.
