Looking for another awesome cat meme ... disappointed the last one disappeared. Love the poker splash kitty.

How does “Tasty” of whoever TF condone purposeful dismissal of an option position’s or portfolio’s delta?

Ask Jeff Bezos ?

As a side note, it will be interesting to see what becomes of Elizabeth Holmes from Theranos once the Justice Department gets their indictments filed.

You bring up a great point. If you're going to steal money - steal a ridiculous amount of money. Apparently in a twisted perversity of justice it can be an advantage, especially if the aggrieved parties are anxious to recover what they can. Super Karen was falsifying monthly statements in...

There's actually facts to back up your thesis. The $1-$10M and the $10-$100M AUM hedge funds have actually been doing well since the 2007/8 Crash. But the top 20 funds are crap. They're top heavy and stale.

I had some time to kill before a client meeting, so I emailed Alumni Affairs at Wake Forest University and told them that their 2014 Distinguished Alumni Award Winner (MBA '84) was under indictment by the SEC by CFTC Criminal Complaint and is currently standing Federal Trial for Fraud. They put...

I’m a devotee of Steidelmeyer, and I agree with him that the quantity of TIME spent at a price is a reflection of the market’s acceptance of that price valuation. Price data gets circulated far and wide amongst the masses - volume not so much.

Hedge Fund investors are sensitive about performance less fees and drawdowns. A CTA could have a macro strategy or a HF strategy or a RV strategy - and some ratio’d combination of system vs discretion disclosed. The OP posted about CTA performance so there is no need to differentiate between...

I don’t follow - please elaborate. The OP subject is CTA performance. There are HF strategy CTA’s and there are macro CTA’s but the bottom line is the bottom line less fees as far as CTA performance is concerned.

Smaller to smallish CTAs are doing OK to pretty well the past few years. There’s actually a NEED for performing CTAs in the commodities space.

Also note his comments about size bids and offers. Also please google the literal definition of “spoofing”. Many times order book imbalances are designed to deceive. Also, I cannot tell you how many times I’ve seen floor brokers shop around futures size to their bigger clients. Remember -...

No truer words have appeared on ET.

Baron, post your betting line odds and collect the house Vig ;)

This is an educated guess, but I would imagine that the top ten market cap stocks in the Nasdaq composite 100 would be more influential than the ES. After all, there's heavy HF arbitrage between the NASDAQ basket shares and the NQ futures. And even if they lagged, there's money to be made in...

The answer is yes. And I'm not going to do your research work for you. Note that there are trading days where ES is stronger or weaker than NQ. There are sector rotation flows in to and out of tech stocks.

Dude, if you have $100K go ahead learn how to trade with CL or GC or CT or 6E. You will need the entire $100K.

If you have a well behaved market with a six tic daily trading range - that is a prime candidate for swing trading IMO. You can trade size on smaller trading ranges, or trade small on big trading ranges. Depends on what suits your personal risk tolerance. I personally know independent...

Sounds like an ambiguous example - I couldn’t possibly answer. What if an amateur found out that, say, for the sake of discussion the share price of Rio Tinto led the ASX 200 index 85% of the time? What if that amateur found out that, for the sake of discussion, Gold futures led the share...
