The challenge here will be newbies coming in with $5K, wildly over trading, and three weeks into it the plug gets pulled. If the round turn rates and fees are discounted proportionally to the contract size (relative to ES), and if the bid/ask is just as tight as ES - of course this is a good...

Doesn't really explain the current crazed bidding war for Anadarko, now does it ? For a Very Shale-Intensive E&P Company there is a raging battle taking place and Warren Buffett has joined the fray today with a $10 Billion bankroll. And Buffett is the GOAT when it comes to M&A.

Read the links I have provided above. While I agree that electronic trading has radically altered the structure of the markets, your narrative about enforcement doesn't exactly hold water.

It is simply untrue to say that the CME "looks the other way". Facts say otherwise. Section 4c(a)(5)© of the Commodity Exchange Act (CEA) makes it unlawful for “[a]ny person to engage in any trading, practice, or conduct on or subject to the rules of a registered entity that…is, is of the...

No, I have posted elsewhere on ET a multitude of examples where Banks and Proprietary Trading Firms have been fined by CME for spoofing and gaming the market Open and Close.

That article you like to cite doesn't square with reality. At all. Does not square with EIA data and it does not square with industry data. https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/Big-Oils-Biggest-Weapon-In-The-Permian.html Big Oil’s Biggest Weapon In The Permian By Tsvetana Paraskova -...

Great question Greg, thanks. I will approach your question from a speculative risk vs reward standpoint - not from the view of a commercial hedger. I would rather construct another spread narrative using futures in that particular sector of the forward curve with a more subtle modeled trading...

Petroleum Powerhouse: Why America No Longer 'Needs' the Middle East https://nationalinterest.org/feature/petroleum-powerhouse-why-america-no-longer-needs-middle-east-55012 Washington's foreign policy should be based on the realities of the world today, rather than decades ago. Energy is vital...

"Order Flow" is an illusion. The best bid and best offer gets spoofed all the time as well. And trades get crossed. The DOM is full of gamesmanship and false narratives. And bid versus offer imbalances are pure smoke and mirrors as well. If anything, resting volume invites trade. One of the...

Not hard at all - those are the price ranges that last seconds; not minutes or hours or days. On a chart they appear as a “long pole” bar or candle. They almost always occur after an economic release or market moving event. To trade them, you have to be very fast and you will have to step out...

What happens to old Resistance?

Market Profile has been doing the same thing for forty years. Bookmap, Market Delta, and all the other DOM footprint toolboxes have something in common - they are NOT privy to the exchange order identifier tags. These studies or toolboxes have ZERO resolution (ability) to identify...

No, not really unless he’s trading OPM and using client funds to personally enrich himself at the direct detriment of said clients. Most every wealthy or successful trader I’ve ever met has an omnibus account or multiple accounts and this type of thing happens with regularity.

Oh good gravy Marie - I opened this thread anticipating something dramatic. Somehow, please sleep easy tonight friend. :D

Rational and lucid point. Timing markets without confirming price action is a fools errand. Look at the hundreds of failed threads over the years in this regard.

In the 1970's up through the mid 1980's both political parties (and the Presidents) relentlessly hammered OPEC. Oil and Natural Gas prices were a principle topic consumed by the Carter administration - President Carter had a televised nationwide address about oil and natural gas production and...

I've always been amazed at those who make broad, sweeping macro market prognostications based upon 5 minute charts. Dude, get a grip. Chillax. DAILY WEEKLY
