Tinder. Master the fine art of the midday quicky.

My sister is a VP at a major US manufacturer. Some of these products feature intuitive adaptive software controls that give their products a marked competitive advantage. Several Chinese companies expressed interest in buying these US made products and asked her to come to China and negotiate...

True story: I once saw an ad for new traders at a Chicago prop firm. The ad stated: ”practitioners of Gann or Elliot Wave need not apply”.

1. I’d rather like to know where they INITIATE a position. Where they take a profit would be a distant second for me. 2. They iceberg orders, use multiple accounts, multiple clearing firms. They can even use ‘give-up agreements’ and not bother with multiple accounts. The Commitment of...

That is the part which is ominously MISSING from Sosnoff’s marketing hyperbole. It doesn’t really matter to an FCM or a brokerage if a futures contract has $100,000 notional value and a $31.25 tic size - or a $10,000 notional value and a $3.13 tic size - it costs THE EXACT SAME to service that...

LOL Exactly. Supply and demand doesn’t move energy markets :Do_O That would be news to John Arnold! Those Weekly EIA reports that all the serious commercial hydrocarbons traders pore over in minute detail and that move the markets don't really move the markets. :banghead:

There's a severe information shortage in the OP's original post. While I agree completely that certain Permian Basin shale oil formation sites are price sensitive at $50 per barrel approximately - Venezuelan oil exporting isn't like turning on a tap. There is literally no infrastructure and no...

https://oilprice.com/Energy/Natural-Gas/Theres-No-Slowing-US-Natural-Gas-Production.html "Not only does production in the Appalachia Region continue to grow unabated, but the associated gas (co-produced with oil) in the Permian Basin has started to have a large impact on the natural gas market...

For those who are following at home, Charles Drummond has been doing this since the 1970's.

1. Electric cars will be natural gas powered for fifty more years. 2. Renewables will never be able to replace fossil fuels entirely.

Venezuelan and Mexican crude is quite sour (high sulfur content) and viscous. You can probably count on one hand the number of refineries who have the catalytic equipment to crack it. It lowers refinery throughput significantly and is very hard on equipment and maintenance crews. There were...

Copper is sitting here around the 2017 lows. Unless China hits a recession I doubt we'll see the 2016 lows. If you see a positive China-US trade agreement (and I think we will), you could see 3.25 to 3.37 easy.

It would appear that the US is not terribly out of line with other G7 countries in terms of debt metrics. Japan looks like they really need to be having a national conversation (as of 2018 Japan's debt to GDP ratio is twice that of the US). No clear thinking, rational person would argue that...

One of the most well thought out, salient posts I've read in quite some time. Bravo !

For an independent trader, working with longer time frames will most likely yield better risk vs reward simply because you're not at the mercy of highly automated and algo-driven order flows. Which means a strategy more akin to swing trading than legit "scalping". You need to know what your...

It matters - but in different ways than the Party lines would have you believe. The Republicans are a bit overly hyperbolic about it, and the Democrats are vastly naive and purposely misleading about it. If America were to go down the same path as Great Britain did with the 1942 Beveridge...

To drill down a bit further (Ha, pun intended) - there's a humongous amount of capital tied up in Oil and Nat Gas MLP's. Difference being, while MLP's are to an extent a commodity play, they do have some significant tax advantages and they typically have a yield since many collect tolling...

That is a very good point. :thumbsup:

How about financially insuring customer equity? (making trading participants whole in the event of third party outside theft during the performance of transactions on the trading exchange)

Uh Oh... The Apparatchik is Upset !
