I think there've been a few threads on this in the past. I'm just curious whether anyone has insight regarding the various carbon/green futures now being listed on various exchanges. Will any of these catch on, will there be sufficient liquidity for outside speculators to want to get...

I think I misspoke. Looking at the above document again, you only have to disclose your prop trading results *if* you're publishing hypothetical historical trading results.

The Trading Program The Document must include a description of the trading program. The description must include the types of commodity interests and other interests that the CTA intends to trade and any restrictions or limitations on such trading established by the trading advisor or...

I believe that part isn't optional. I believe if you are a new CTA, but you've prop traded recently, you must disclose those results.

Absolutely! CFTC/NFA only regulates the *most* information you can share publicly. There's no minimum at all... except in the context of the disclosure document, which must be shared with all investors before they subscribe to your program.

I don't see it actually specified anywhere that there are MM's assigned for all of the 25 strategies listed in the guide... but is that the case?

I didn't have much luck finding the CME strategy user's guide, or anything that talks about RFQ in great detail. Can you help me with a reference?

I'm still waiting to get setup with a tool that gives me RFQ access so I can start playing with it. I'm trying to understand the actual procedures of how the market works. Given that mm's only have 1 minute to respond... is most/all of the quoting done automatically/algorithmically? I'm...

I don't really know what MF Global's reputation stems from. MF Global supports TT of course, and should have access to all the standard industry tools. The quote I received from MF Global's institutional group wasn't very impressive, to put it mildly. I got a better quote from a few IBs...

Hi, Is anyone out there familiar with the CME's RFQ capability for option trading? I'd like to dig into someone's brain a lil. Thanks.

If there is no downside risk at all... why offer any upside reward? Why wouldn't the blackjack player sitting next to me just bet his own money and keep all of his profits... instead of sharing it with me? Why wouldn't your brother put his money into the automated trade instead of covering...

I'm more concerned about someone suing me over that kind of an error.

Good thought!

Hi, I'm just curious whether anyone in the business of managing other people's money has purchased E&O insurance? Is this a good idea over all... is it even possible? And if anyone has any good contacts in the insurance business, I'd love a referral. Thanks!

I don't mean to be nit-picky, but that seems like incredibly confusing use of terminology to me. Yes, motion is physics. Yes, matter and anti-matter is physics. No, I really have absolutely idea how the two are remotely related to each other. Does volatility meeting anti-volatility release...

Putting on my weekend hedge, again. +30 78/86 strangles at 95 each, total cost of $28500 before commissions.

Why buy a stock when you can buy a call?

There are a lot of ways of parsing the term "resolution"... I'd be interested in understanding in what context you're using it here? I understood and agree with most of what you've posted here. The only part that sounds a little mumbo-jumbo and forced is the concept of "anti-volatility"; are...

Crude VIX is just like the standard VIX... it's based on weighted average of front 2 months, so it's always "30 days out". Value isn't generated by Yahoo, it comes from the CBOE.

Hi, I pm'ed you yesterday.
