Are you serious? Click either of the links I gave.

Futures vary. Here's a link to the hours for CME Globex http://www.cme.com/about/press/cn/06-15PresidentsDaySchedule17199.html And here's a link to the hours of the CBOT. http://cbot.com/cbot/pub/page/0,3181,1029,00.html#president

I think you might have done $500,000, not $50,000. $500,000*(117.9-117.64) = 130000 yen 130000/117.64 = $1105

You need a bloomberg terminal. Not the website.

Mine does. I assume several others do as well. Look around. If it says "capital required" don't bother. The bloomberg postings will mention that they pay salary if they do.

Not all prop shops require you to put up capital. A lot of them pay you salary plus bonuses and raises if you do well. Anyway, you'd probably learn more if you could break into the iBanking side. Try Bloomberg: JOBS [GO]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, let's not simplify things. He's trying to make money. :eek:

Going to execute what positions. First you say "will sell at open today gbp/chf,usd/chf,usd/jpy buy at open eur/usd,gbp/usd." Which is esentially the same as buying 2 CHF, 1 JPY, 1 EUR, and selling the dollar 4 times. Oh yeah, and buying and selling the GBP simultaneously. You could get the...

It's because they know. No one wants to sell until YOU buy. :p :D

20% of the volume. No more, no less :p

I've received a lot of PMs regarding my previous post. I think it should go without saying that your first course of action regardless of what job you are trying to get is to network. Talk to your friends, find out what their parents do, follow up with anyone you meet that may be able to help...

"I will monitor the account and shut the strategy down if the behavior is substantially different from what the testing predicts." I think this is a bad idea. IF the strategy works consistently (and that's a BIG IF), then the worst thing you can do is interfere with it. When you backtest...

LOL! I would start with Hull's book. If you meant that you were going "save" your losing position in your long call by selling the underlying, that is call being long a synthetic put. Why not just sell the call and take your loss instead of switching your position and starting out...

Yes, it's a good idea, but when you start trading with real money, keep in mind there is a difference. Most simulators will have you piggy back someone elses orders. So, you tend to get better fills. Also, if you take out the entire offer, for example, the offer will repopulate. You...

uiucgrad, I can relate. I graduated last May and found a job as a trader in Chicago. If you can get your hands on a Bloomberg, it is a great tool for finding a job. Almost 100% of the jobs that I applied to through Bloomberg Jobs offered me an interview. Also, go to the websites of the CME...

Bloomberg lied. Bloomberg has a lot of bad data. I don't know what the real number is, but Yahoo gives a PE for EWJ of 19.58. Granted, Yahoo isn't the most reliable for data either, and EWJ is not the same as the Nikkei. But, EWJ only has 29 more stocks than the Nikkei and the two pretty...
