haha...dang I didn't even realize it....I was more focused on trying to get just enough of the glare off the monitors from the window...didn't pay attention to what else did / didn't get in the picture I figured someone would point out my lack of a coaster and using a blue shop towel instead

just moved into a new office space, so decided to post mine. didn't post a picture of the overall office because the walls are still bare save for one lonely marker board.

Which platform are you using? That is a platform issue, not a broker issue more than likely

no broker HAS to offer the margin reduction...it is the exchange minimum. Having said that, sounds bad for business. I've cleared through 3 different FCMs over the years and have never even had it cross my mind that this would be an issue

wasn't sure, just heard in passing. Just curious...seemed to me some were finding a justification to the arb run up after the fact

hoop, any insight on these quality issues with oil on the gulf? saw that its all running heavy, tough to get "light" at spec

Cracks getting hammered again as well, 3 days, 3 dollars

also good to look at some intermarkets today in both energies and grains....some definite shifts coming for the next few weeks. looking specifically at heating oil and wheat as rotational trades Edit to say: wheat vs corn and heating oil vs rb and cl

energy number lines and levels in general improving a good bit. looks like it may hint at the direction out of this chop. Just a note on grains...big WASDE report out today and corn and wheat really moving higher....interesting to note that number lines going flat...resets on the way, but when...

One thing I would argue with ACD is that, unlike what Fisher talked about originally, it DOES work on thin markets, just not intra-day. I saw on another forum posters mocking the idea of anyone actually trading dairy products. I agree, butter isn't really tradeable, but things like milk and...

yes, was just referring specifically to energies/ grains/livestock. Thats our bread and butter. We don't trade indices and have only used currency trade as a macro view, never have traded them. Probably should

on a more serious ACD note, a lot of our ACD derivative data is putting out a lot of basically "neutral" or "stay away" signals this morning. Anyone else seeing this? By our models, won't be much worth trading for a day or two...worth the risk anyway.

After saying to watch the bonds closely, I hope Mav is ready to pony up for motion sickness pills for everyone this morning haha! :) Just had to rib ya, have a great Friday everyone, its gonna be a wild one....

gotta be honest, with the back and forth between intra-day Aup and A-down in energies this morning, didn't think we'd see an even more violent move than Thursday and Friday.

I haven't had a chance to get enabled for it from CQG...but new out this week is the "MBF" study if you are using CQG. Looks like a way for you to set ACD levels on CQG charts...with a volume indicator that I'm not sure of. Just a heads up. I'll let you know what it looks like once I get a...

Came back in this morning and quickly realized I picked the wrong week to take a few days off...

yup, I'm not looking at "risk" on the other side as a huge rally...but more of a choppy mess that I just don't care to be involved with

flame away on this one...but imo...too much risk on BOTH sides in energies this morning. we pulled our crude shorts....keeping some spreads on a few months out but pretty much flat. Met a few ACD based objectives on a risk model we use, so I'm done. Keeping some short grain positions on and...

I think a lot of people have been trying to pick a bottom in crude, the media attention has helped that out. What people aren't realizing is that crude HAS in fact made a "bounce". The calendars have been on a hard rip for 3-4 days, and front cracks are off $2, thats a fairly large rally, just...

prime example of what Fisher was talking about is taking place today. Where is the real action in energies? crude spreads. z/z +58, front month is flat. really, v crude only seems to be moving to compensate for heating oil via the cracks. Mav, I guess I would be considered "new", and I've...
